Location of this hotel was great and convinence. Bus stop is just around the corner from the hotel which drop off and take you directly to the airport. Bus number 397, €3.5 one way. 15 mins walk to the central with a lot of shops and view along the way. Facilities and service by staff are excellent. Highly recommended.

Loved our stay here. Cute hotel. Close to everything. The restaurant prioritized my morning coffees. Staff was helpful in every way. We used the laundry service and my whites came back looking brand new. I have nothing bad to say about the property and I’d absolutely stay here again.

This hotel has to be the best hotel in Amsterdam. The room (jr suite) was exquisite. The restaurant was top class for all meals. Trams are a one minute walk from the hotel making it easy to get anywhere in the city. Everything was perfect. We will stay there again.
