I was paying good money for the smallest room I've ever seen in my entire travel history - NOT a single desk, so I had to work with my laptop on a pillow in bed, the bed was not only too small but uncomfortable, there was only 1plug in the whole room, but thanks to myself I had an extension with me. I must say it was the worst hotel I ever stayed in, never ever again. I would never recommend this fxxking hotel to anyone and I meant it!!!

We checked into our room only to find it extremely hot with no working air conditioning. We were unable to open our window because we faced a courtyard which was an ongoing worksite to with dust and debris everywhere. The staff did not warn us about the broken air conditioning before check in, then told us there was nothing they could do to help us afterwards since we already checked in.

Basic

Very basic, tiny room and our room was so close to the lift we were kept awake all night. Plug socket beside bed didn't work. Couldn't open bathroom door fully as bed was there. Asked reception if we could move rooms or pay for a larger room away from the lift which was declined.

It is okay. The hotel is under renovation and it has impact to the stay. The reception is good. One of the receptionist is nice and show friendliness while the other show us cold face. Elevator is small and slow. The room is okay. They gave us welcome chocolate which is awesome. The coffee they offer is fine.

Very nice hotel in a great location. Single room was a little small (to be expected), but was comfy and well setup. Staff and service was very good. Shame about the building noise on the last morning, but we were warned about that in advance

We were not aware when we booked that the property was under construction which meant the facade was covered and the view from the room was blocked. Construction noise started at 7:30 every morning, disrupting our sleep. Other than that, the stay was great. The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. The bathroom was on the smaller side. The location is great with easy access to several tram lines.

The location of the hotel is phenomenal. It's adjacent to Dam square, McDonald's and Albert hijn right next door. Walking proximity to Amsterdam centraal train station and there are trams right outside the front door to take you to almost anyplace you want to go. The room is super clean. The bed is extremely comfortable BUT... The pillows were terrible, hard as rocks. Room is ridiculously small with a king bed, barely any room to move. The shower had no curtain or doors so entire bathroom gets a bit wet when showering. Shout out to Livvy who was fantastic at check-in and Stephanie was great getting us a cab to schipol airport for $60 euros when Uber was 134 euros. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
