The highlight for us was the complimentary happy hour from 4-6pm for all guests. They have beverages and snacks including beer, wine, charcuterie board snacks, and nuts. They offer free coffee and water, including sparkling water 24/7 which was very helpful and saved us a bit of money. Very helpful and friendly staff.

We were so happy with our accommodation. Sasha at the desk was very helpful. Morning coffee on the patio on the canal was a dream come true. We loved the “happy hour” Provided by the hotel- it was a great way to meet other guests. The room was historical, romantic and well maintained. We loved Amsterdam and would definitely stay there again.

This location is great if you don’t want the loudness of the centrum/downtown area. The staff was great. The breakfast was a lovely way to start each day. We rented bikes and felt they were safe being locked up in that neighborhood. We felt our room had a great view of the canal. Bed was comfortable. We’d stay again!

Room was great and spacious, breakfast was awesome! Staff was super friendly. We loved the location, much quieter than being by the train station. Plenty to do with museums and the canals being right there and lots of eating options. Be aware there is no elevator so pack light. The stairs are very steep.

The breakfast was an additional cost but the food was very good and the staff was very accommodating for whatever you wanted to order. There is a free happy hour for hotel guests every day from 4-6 with wine, beer, soda and snacks. The staff was very easily available, kind, and helpful.
