I’d read some mixed reviews and was pleasantly surprised. I found the property to be good value and the staff to be helpful. Location was good for the museum district. I had the wrong adaptor and the reception staff happily loaned me one for the duration of the stay.

We booked the Quadruple Room that accomodates 4 pax. The room was small with little walking space. Room had basic decor. The mattresses were very soft and they kept slipping a bit out of our beds. The shower doors were derailed and they became stuckwirh 3/4 closed and the bolts at 2.corners of the edges came off. The reception offered to change room for us, but I managed to move the doors to full open so we declined the change of room. Location wise, it's one street away from the branded goods shopping outlet. It's 5 minutes walk to the Van Gogh Museum, Rijkmuseum, and Stedlikij Museum. There's a tram stop outside of Van Gogh Museum that have trams going to Amsterdam Centraal train station and Amsterdam Zuid train station. Reception staff were friendly and smiley.
