Staff was kind and accomodating. When you walk out of the door of the hotel, you are right at Rembrandt’s Square. Theee are several coffee shops nearby within a minute of two walk, several excellent restaurants. We would stay there again.

4/10 Fair

Just a heads up to anyone checking in late, we basically had to walk through a rave to get to the hotel. The door was inside a smokey bar. We got to our room and there was only 2 towels despite booking for 3 guests. No shampoo or conditioner. The room itself was fine but overpriced for what it was and the lack of amenities.
Whitney, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very clean and well presented when we arrived, and cleaned every day after with new towels. It is in a very convenient location to travel into the city centre, with lots of bars and food places nearby to try. The nearby area is very busy at night, but where we stayed on the top floor we could not hear any noise when trying to get to sleep. The stairs are very tall and thin so accessibility may be an issue for some, but we saw them in the hotel pictures, so we expected this, and had no issues transporting our luggage. Less-abled visitors should keep this in mind We would definitely stay here again when planning another break to Amsterdam.
Kieron, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy to check in, nice and quiet considering there are bars all around the hotel. Fantastic location in the middle of Rembrandtplein, relatively quiet area and very close (walking distance) to the city centre

Amazing hotel! 10/10

The hotel was amazing, in a great location. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful! Would definitely come back to stay again.

Convenient South End Property

Typical of Amsterdam. No elevator and 4 flights of steps. I did expect this though-no surprises. I had to hand our luggage up to someone standing on the next level, there’s no way you’re carrying up- typical Amsterdam. Although the hotel is in a very busy plaza, the rooms are on the back and we couldn’t hear any of the loud crowds- I was surprised.
Antonio, 3-night trip

Everything was great !
Cyril, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very disappointed. The shower has mould, the heating wasn‘t working, the portable heater they got us only worked for 5mins. The reception was almost always unattended. It was VERY loud and since the windows aren’t good you could hear the noise from outside very well, and since there are bars, it was until 1/2am. The spare key cards for ALL rooms were left in the same lockbox (incl name and room number written on it), so any other hotel guest of the hotel could have entered our room or taken a card before check in. For 300.- a night I‘d expect a decent room. We should get a refund for this.
