The hotel had both positive and negative aspects to consider. The rooms, despite being bigger than expected, were dirty and the low beams made navigating the space a challenge. The staff's rudeness further added to the disappointing room experience. On the bright side, the location was excellent, with easy access to major attractions and nice dining options around.

I had a love-hate relationship with this hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the rooms were big and comfortable. However, the lack of space around the enormous bed made it feel cramped, and the room was too hot even with the air conditioning.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of convenience and minor issues. The check-in and check-out process was swift, but a cold room with a window left open greeted me, and the safe wasn't working. The varying room types offered comfort and some superior options, although I encountered some larger rubbish in my room.

The hotel provided a spacious and clean room which felt very luxurious, offering great value for a mother/daughter stay. However, the service was inconsistent with an unfortunate incident of money being taken from my luggage. The location was beautiful and near public transportation, just a walk away from the Rijksmuseum. The dining was satisfying with warm and cold dishes available, but a bit on the expensive side for moderate appetites.
