“I find that this hotel, situated on a lively vintage shopping street and housed in a 17th-century building, presents a charming and well-located base for exploring Amsterdam. Its proximity to the Central Station and the appeal of nearby cafes create a practical and enjoyable experience. While the building's historic nature involves narrow, steep stairs, the rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean.”

Self check-in was smooth. It suited my late arrival. the breakfast deal at the cafe across the street included tasty coffee and pastries. the staff was friendly and readily available. i got a free upgrade for my birthday, a sweet surprise. the location was ideal for exploring.
the room lacked a bedside light. the only lighting option was a harsh overhead light.

some issues impacted my stay

missing soaploose tap
My stay had some drawbacks. the room lacked bedside lights, so overhead lighting was the only option. windows weren't double glazed. This surprised me, given the busy street. there was nice shampoo, conditioner, and scents from marie-stella-maris. strangely, no soap was available in the shower. the tap was also loose, and only very hot water came out. the place felt barebones.

Great Location and Helpful Staff

central locationfriendly staffcomfortable bednarrow staircase
I found the central location convenient. It was an easy walk to the main city and train station. The staff allowed me to leave my luggage before check-in and after check-out. They even moved my bags into the room. The room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed.
The hotel lacks a proper lobby. It is essentially a set of rooms above a restaurant. The staircase is very narrow. This made carrying my luggage quite challenging.

Vouchers are provided daily for complimentary coffee and pastry (it's a very nice treat!) at the cafe across the road. The hotel restaurant looked bustling and delicious. I plan to try it next time I stay here.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. They responded quickly to my requests. They accommodated my early arrival and late departure by storing my luggage and ensuring a smooth check-in, which I appreciated a lot.
