Great stay. Close to everything but in a quiet area set off from the noise. Very close to the red light district but not seedy like you would imagine. We would stay there again next time!
Everyone working at the hotel went above and beyond for the 11 days we stayed there. We just loved the hotel and the staff was phenomenal!! Can't wait to return!!
Great hotel and location in central Amsterdam with easy access to popular museums and other attractions. Staff were friendly. Had to call issues with HVAC and bathroom sink that were taken care off quickly. The shower leaked water onto the floor every time it was used. There was also a noise issue from outside the hotel.
Amazing hotel. If you are in doubt about where to stay, be no more....one of the top hotels I've ever stayed at. Beautiful property, wonderful staff, a breakfast of dreams
Everything was lovely, staff super helpful my only complaint will be the air conditioning needs to be checked and made cooler if guests want, as it didnt work perfectly well but wasnt too hot
Also the fancy japanese toilet isnt the easiest for guests who are not use to it
Rest was lovely location, staff, and cleanliness
Hotel was great! We walked from the train station to the hotel as only had carry on luggage. it is an oasis in a busy area. Quiet and tranquil and when you walk outside, you are in city centre and able to walk everywhere. Rooms are super comfortable and air conditioned! Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
