This is a quality establishment. The staff are extremely professional and all seem to speak impecable English, service is of a very high standard. There is no bar as such but the very pleasant lounge area has a self service bar with a choice of different bottled beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks all included at no extra charge within the room rate. The all inclusive drinks extends to the mini bar in the room. Our mini bar was very well stoked with beer, soft drinks and chocolate bars and there were also 3 decanters of spirits. The room was not particularly spacious but was well presented. The bathroom was of a good standard and the bed was very comfortable. We had to pay extra for a canal view but it was worth it. The hotel has a breakfast room but no dining room which necesitates going out for dinner but as the hotel is very centrally located there are plenty of very good places to eat within a short walking distance. This is a nice place to stay if you are visiting Amsterdam

I booked this hotel , direct, as part of a 3 night / 4day trip to Amsterdam.I was told about this by a good friend of mine. The hotel is just around the corner from Rembrant Square, and 200 mtrs from the no.4 tram stop. the outside of the hotel is nothing special, but when you climb the steps (only 4 or 5) and enter the lounge/reception area, you get a feeling of something special. The staff are friendly, professional and very helpful. one lady Nina, is a credit to the hotel !!! The 'Lounge' area is relaxed with comfy chairs and sofas, a fire in one corner, and NO Television !!! There is a bar that comes as complementary as part of your rate. The rooms are a decent size not massive, just right. We had the choice of a room with a canal view , which has a massive walk in shower, or a bigger room with a bath for 2 and a good size shower , but no view. we took the room with the bath and shower. All movies and in room drins are included. the bed was a good size king , and was really comfortable. We ordered breakfast in bed on the first morning , and it was delivered on time and hot !!! There is not many things wrong with this hotel, it does what it says, and with a certain style, that is not over the top. I could go on, but what i will say , is that we will be going back !!!
