Great & Friendly service.Well equipped rooms and bathrooms, although the bed was a little soft for my liking. Good breakfast. Relaxing lounge and free bar provides a homely feeling and is a perfect precursor to an evening out in Amsterdam. Good location. Quiet but close to several transport links and very good restaurant and cafe choices.

lots of things are just free - free breakfast where they're really making an effort, free self-service bar in the lobby, free n/a cocktails in the rooms - it's not so much the free stuff itself, but the level of hospitality and thought that underlies it.

Would have rated as 6 rather 5 stars a few years ago during last stay pre pandemic a number of years ago, and few things no longer present such as open complimentary bar in rooms, and evening cheese/charcuterie trolly more extensive and higher end back then. Also seemed higher staffed back then. But regardless excellent location, comfortable rooms, great staff, and great complementary breakfast.

A wonderful stay in a great boutique hotel. The staff were exceptional! Helpful, polite & friendly. The breakfast was fabulous- the egg chef was so lovely and very friendly- cooked great food👌 The all inclusive bar was top notch and the beds comfortable. Our only complaint was poor lighting in the bedrooms and I didn’t rate the pillow( but to be fair I didn’t ask for it to be changed) Would highly recommend this hotel and would stay again!

A great location in the middle of town: some of the other guests were too loud and full of their own importance (and were like vultures when the cheese and wine were brought out) but they were a minor nuisance
