When you combine a dream location (mere steps away from the Grote Kerk) with charm and service to spare, you have a true winner. One of my favorite places in all of Europe to stay.

Hotel was 15from train stain and an easy ride into Amsterdam. Located right next to church and main square. Comfortable beds clean, nice bathroom and shampoos. Small room with desk, chair and footstool. nowhere to easily set your luggage. Small closet. No ac but ceiling fan and floor fan. Lots of usb ports. In room safe. Church bells hourly but not a bother.

Very well located, across from the Cathedral. The dining room and lobby were very nice, the room was small, clean. However the hallways were not looking good. Even though there is a lift, we still needed to carry the bags up to a very steep staircase.
