Hotel was super clean and nice when we went, beds are very comfy too. Slightly disappointed that our hotel room was in the basement with no window although I did read reviews about these rooms maybe they should make it clearer that these are the rooms you are given?
As many others have stated too, our room had a damp smell for the duration of our stay, as if someone’s just came out the shower however when the a/c was turned on smell was away, unlike most other reviews i have read our a/c worked fine our full trip. The tv is in a very awkward place and we weren’t able to get ours to work. The Melrose although still in Central Amsterdam is in a slightly quieter area as it is off the main strip where most of the touristy shops are. Despite the basement room as I was prepared for this after reading other reviews, me and my partner would stay here again if we were to come back. :)
