Convenient South End Property

Typical of Amsterdam. No elevator and 4 flights of steps. I did expect this though-no surprises. I had to hand our luggage up to someone standing on the next level, there’s no way you’re carrying up- typical Amsterdam. Although the hotel is in a very busy plaza, the rooms are on the back and we couldn’t hear any of the loud crowds- I was surprised.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check-in was not great, rude lady over the phone told us not her problem about the stairwell and no one around to help with the check in, very narrow and steep staircase that is winding. Extremely tiny room, have to step over the bed to get around, no room for any luggage, small bathroom, very hot at night and noisy due to bars that turn into nightclubs all night directly down below. Although, the location is good though.

Staff was kind and accomodating. When you walk out of the door of the hotel, you are right at Rembrandt’s Square. Theee are several coffee shops nearby within a minute of two walk, several excellent restaurants. We would stay there again.

The woman who checked me in on Thursday afternoon for my three day stay was very nice. I never saw anyone at the desk again. The room was fine (small European style room) and everything worked. It was clean and quiet on the back side of the building. The front side would have been noisier as the hotel is right on Rembrandtplein which has many pubs and restaurants. The location is quite convenient. One thing to know is that the stairs are very steep and narrow and I wouldn’t recommend carrying more than one bag at a time up those stairs which are not very well lit. Overall a very nice stay!

It was very quaint, however its narrow staircase with no elevator made it daunting when carrying luggage up and down. On check out we did have help upon checkout so it took some stress away.

This is a good small hotel to spend the night. Centrally located to a lot of restaurants. Near public transportation. But is an old house converted to a hotel and is very noisy because bars stay open until very late at night. And there is no elevator and very small steep steps so hard to take big luggage to the 2nd and 3rd floor… but is no luggage and can go up the stairs with no issues. Good hotel. Great staff.

Review was a nice walkable distance to everything and the staff were super friendly. The frustrating part was the A/c was actually turned off and having the window open to cool off room brought in the smell of fried food from restaurants nearby and loud music till the early am hours.

The bar below us stays open until 4:00 or 5:00am depending on the night. The dj keeps the music going with a loud bass. Probably 80 people outside the bar chatting, yelling, smoking. Did not sleep properly any night. The room itself was small. There was a fridge which was great. And the bed was decent. Shower spills out into rest of bathroom. Staff were very nice and helpful.
