Very nice spacious room, staff were very helpful and friendly - the breakfast was very nice, our Eurostar for the following morning was in the early hours in which we requested a breakfast to go box which was a delight. Very nice hotel great location with lots to see around and only a train ride away from the city area. Will definitely stay here on our next Amsterdam visit. Thank you! - from - London, England

Had a great one-night stay! Staff at the reception were very friendly and patient. The hotel is located at 5 minutes walking distance from Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena station and AFAS Live concert building.
From the station it's only a 10 minutes train ride to Amsterdam Central station.
There's also restaurants nearby and a supermarket too. Overall fine location. Would stay again for sure if visiting Amsterdam.
