"Perfectly Nice Hotel - Great Service"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
I stayed for one night with a group of friends. E-mailed the hotel in advance with some specific requests and all were met. In fact when we checked in they advised that they had given us a free upgrade to a superior room. Room was large and decorated in a very modern style and bathroom great, with all usual items you would expect from a hotel of this standard. Breakfast was great, with selection of cereal, fruit, cold meat, bacon, sausage, eggs, bread and pastries etc. etc. and is served till quite late in the morning. Good if you are nursing the after effects of a night sampling the delights Amsterdam. Location is good for Museums, Vondelpark and Leidseplein, where there are loads of restaurants and bars and it was buzzing.If you are prepared to have a stroll, everything else you may want to see in the centre is easily accessible with a few minutes. Would I stay here again? Yes if I got a similar good deal including breakfast, not sure I would be so keen had I paid the standard rate, but then I always like to get a deal when booking hotels. I can see why some may say this is not a 5 star as the modern style, for me, detracts from the luxury feel of a more traditional 5 star hotel, however the staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Yes there are one or two small items like the finish of some of the cabinets in the bedroom having a few knocks on them, however these are functional environments. For me a small scuff on a piece of furniture in the room where I can very comfortably change and sleep is not going to ruin my holiday!

The pillows smelled urine and transpiration, we asked to change pillows, and they were supposed to do it. They never did it!

Everything OK as usual. real good price, only 15€ more expensive than other 2 stared hotels in the area.

This was our 11th visit to Amsterdam so as you can imagine we've stayed in a few of the cities hotels. This was our first stay in this one and we loved it! Our flight got in really early and we arrived at the hotel about 10am. Believe it or not, our room was ready and they let us check in! The room was compact, but very stylish and modern. Great range of toileteries and a few nice wee touches like pillow menu. The breakfast was extensive and well stocked. We used the sauna/steam room etc and loved it. Clean and modern, like the rest of the hotel. My minor niggles were: the sauna/steam room cost 12.50 euro each (I thought it seemed odd to be charged as a guest but if I'm honest it was well worth it) and the opening hours were strange. It closed at 5 on a Friday. (So check in advance to avoid disappointment) Also, fellow Irish people beware! A cup of tea cost 5 euro in the lobby bar! More than a beer! All in all, we'll definitely return. The service was excellent and location unbeatable!
