This hotel met my 3 top priorities:, clean, quiet and cool. Though the room we had is small; there was plenty of cupboards to store our items. Bed was comfortable and bathroom has big shower. Hotel complimentary breakfast was terrific; lots to choose from including bacon, eggs and dutch pancakes. Great selection of fruit and pastries. Highly recommend.

We loved that we were so close to the metro/tram station. This place is near the Heineken brewery. We arrived on Sunday, so we walked a few blocks and found a nice neighborhood. All the food places around are delicious, and the market was a few blocks away. So I recommend it :)

A lovely 4 night stay. Close to the centre with good transport links but quiet in the hotel and felt very safe. Room was functional, comfortable with a good shower. Free coffee from downstairs and someone at reception at all times in case you needed anything. No complaints and met our needs for a busy sightseeing trip perfectly.

It was a pleasant experience! The staff were immensely friendly and the breakfasts were great. As far as breakfast is of concern, I love how you weren’t obligated to have the entire week, the deal was flexible and you chose the days that you actually used the offer. Location wise, nicely situated and walking distance to most iconic places.
