My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were small but clean and well-equipped for a city break. The service provided by the staff was lovely, especially Abdi who went above and beyond to help us. The location was great, close to the zoo and with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was decent, though slightly pricey for limited options. Overall, a good value for money with some minor room cleanliness concerns.

The hotel rooms were super clean, in a good location with friendly staff. They were ready even before our check-in time, which was very helpful. However, facing the car parking area brought some car exhaust smell even with the window closed. The rooms were very clean and well-designed, truly capturing the Amsterdam vibe with iconic sites and scenes on the walls.

The breakfast spread was superb, with a variety of freshly baked bread, delicious Dutch milk yogurt, cheeses, and a friendly staff.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were amazing with a lovely view of the zoo, very modern and clean, but the thin mattresses on leather base were uncomfortable. The staff were friendly, however, I had a small issue with the service. The location was convenient next to the zoo and had easy access to the city center. The dining experience was delightful with fresh orange juice, but the lack of air-conditioning was a downside.

The hotel is situated in a quieter area just outside the city centre with good access to trams. The rooms, although a decent size, had some sharp corners which made the small space feel a bit challenging. The service was very helpful and the staff were knowledgeable, making my stay comfortable. The dining experience was excellent with a great selection of food on offer. On the downside, the safe in the room was positioned too high up.

The hotel rooms are compact but have all the space you need and are nicely finished, super clean, and in a good location with friendly staff. However, they felt pretty basic and cramped at times. The service was attentive and the staff were really friendly, making check-in and out very easy. The location is great, across from the zoo and close to the train pickup, but not central. The dining options were small but plentiful and delicious, with some local touches. The facilities were adequate.

I was delighted with our spacious room overlooking the garden, equipped with all the amenities we needed. It was surprising to find one room larger than the other for the same price. The hotel offers a great location close enough to the heart of Amsterdam for convenience yet in a quiet area. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a slight hiccup with one staff member not being very accommodating. The dining experience was satisfactory but lacked hot food options, and the room service was a convenient touch. Overall, a good value for a pleasant stay.

The hotel has clean and well-stocked rooms, but they are tiny and could be seen from the street before normal check-in time. The service was exceptional, with kind and helpful staff who even decorated the room for our Valentine's weekend. The location is convenient, close to a tram station and main attractions, but it is not the best. The dining experience offers delicious local dishes, although the price could be considered. The hotel facilities are modern and convenient.
