Great size and location.
The room was a great size especially since we stayed for 3 days. Nice quiet location on the canal but close to activity when we wanted it. The snacks and coffee in the lobby that were always available were appreciated too and Casey the cat added a casual atmosphere.

A gem of a find!
A lovely short stay in this fabulously located hotel and it did not disappoint. The room was spacious and well served with clean towels delivered each day and complimentary drinks provided on arrival. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the free coffee in the reception was to die for. Despite being in the heart of the city, we enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep due to the clever location of the room in proximity of traffic. The bed was large and comfortable. Sure, the short stairway to the room was a little daunting and may be challenging for someone with limited mobility, but is in keeping with a building of this style and did not cause us any issues. The hotel also has resident the coolest cat in Amsterdam! Overall, a wonderful stay in a fantastic gem of a hotel.

A very special place. Loved the hotel, the room was fantastic. Comfortable and spacious. My only criticism would be …. Needs to be a few more clothes hanging options.

charming but we were on the 5th floor- no elevator and the narrowest steepest stairs ever. But- that’s Amsterdam for you. the hotel staff were all helpful and the room was great. Updated and spacious bathroom. floors a little dusty throughout but it didn’t bother us.

Great location! Staff was great. Lighting could be better. Had issues with the shower overflowing. Then attempted to fix and then the bathroom had A sewage smell. Wished it was a better stay for us.

We loved it here. The place was clean and the staff is very hospitable. Just be prepared to carry your luggage up steep, narrow stairs. But itvwas well worth the struggle. We had an amazing view and window in room 12!

We had the room on the top floor — 54 steep steps. But the room faced the back, with a nice view, and was very quiet. Ceilings were high amd the bed was comfortable.

The staff went above and beyond to make the stay a great time. Had everything we needed, the hotel provides nice snacks and coffee whenever you want. Lovely location, not noisey at all, at least in the room we stayed in. Will return soon hopefully.

Was good overall, but the most obvious is the lack of a real concierge. There is one person at a small desk 24/7 who clearly is not directly invested in the management of the hotel. This is essentially a room, not a hotel

I loved this hotel. Our room was cute and clean, and the hotel is in an ideal place in Amsterdam. There are tons of shops, restaurants, and things to do within a couple minutes walk of the hotel. Staff was accommodating and they had a friendly cat who lived in the front office.
It wasn’t a problem and it’s not a flaw of the hotel, but just be aware that the stairs are sort of tricky. Like all older buildings in Amsterdam; the stairs are very steep and narrow, and each step is quite small.
