Excellent City Center Hotel

great location helpful staff

The hotel location is excellent, with convenient access to public transport. The square outside has numerous restaurants, offering various dining options. The staff was very helpful. The hotel provided water and candies in the lobby. I found this a kind gesture.

I noticed the shower door covered only about half of the open space. Using the shower resulted in water on the bathroom floor if I was not careful. The hotel should look into this issue.

The room was spacious, modern, and clean, with good air conditioning and comfortable pillows. Plentiful toiletries were available. I also appreciated the well-appointed room with a lovely view facing Rembrandtplein.

Excellent Hotel Experience!

central location spacious room helpful staff

The hotel location was very central. It had everything I needed. The room was spacious. I also found the staff helpful. They provided a dog bed, a really nice touch. The room was big for a standard room. That worked very well for me.

The hotel was in a very busy area. Therefore, it was noisy.

Service

The staff offered prompt room service when I requested anything. Check-in was smooth. I was able to check in early, and they also held my baggage after checking out! This made a difference.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

limited breakfast poor soundproofing

My room lacked proper soundproofing. I constantly heard noise from outside. The breakfast had limited options. I expected more variety for the price. The bathroom cleanliness could have been better (there was hair in the shower drain). it was not a terrible stay, but the hotel needs some improvements.

The hotel has a perfect location to explore. Staff working during breakfast were very helpful.

The noise from the square was a significant issue, the room not being adequately soundproofed. The air conditioning was not effective. Bathroom lacked slippers.
