This place worked well for us because we mostly used our room to sleep then were out all day. However, it is very small and many things are outdated. The complimentary happy hour was a huge bonus.

Generally loved the room. It's an old wooden building but the view from the top room overlooking the canal is definitely the selling point. Bathroom was compact but well maintained. The main door took some effort to close as it's an old door. Didn't have the breakfast option but I would definitely come back and stay again
Double bed was lovely and you can sleep looking out to the Canal

This is a super-cute hotel, with comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. That said, they never cleaned our room for the 3 days we were there, even after I requested it on the second day. The bathroom is elegant, but there's no shelf to put your toiletries. The wardrobe has good hanging space, but no shelves. If you are staying for more than one day, the place needs some improvements.

Breakfast was simple but well done; staff are really good, very helpful. The stairs are very steep & a bit of an issue if you are on the top floor. Our room to be frank needs a little attention - eg. bit shabby, bed too soft, curtains don't shut properly, privacy blinds don't work

We had a wonderful stay. Pilar was excellent—very kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The hotel is perfectly located, making it very convenient to explore the area. They also offer a fabulous complimentary cocktail hour, which was a lovely touch, and the room was very comfortable. My only complaint was that the room was quite warm. The air conditioning was not working, although they did provide two fans that we had to use during our stay. Other than that, everything was excellent and we truly enjoyed our time there.

It's semi centrally collated. A quick walk from a metro station and you are there. The staff are fantastic. At night fur a couple of hours there is a happy hour with free beer and wine. Now for the down side. I know it's an older hotel with those crazy stairs that are curbed and steep, but the rooms are in no way sound proofed. In our case, the tv didn't work for our stay, which isn't a big deal because you are good from walking all day... You get my drift though.

A little bit further out from the centre, so it is less hectic. 3 min walk from tram4 stop and 10 min walk to Rijksmuseum. No getting away from the stairs so no use if you struggle as these are typical canal house - very steep & narrow. Room clean & large. If you book 1 of the suites , ask for canal side

The room was very cozy, clean and the staff so friendly and helpful. Stunning view to the canal and the bathroom was very spacious and enjoyable. It was a little challenging to go all the way up using the stairs. The steps were very narrow and the room was on a third floor, there is no elevator. It was manageable. I had a pleasant experience.
