Great stay! The location of this hotel is just lovely! Right in the centre of Amsterdam, just 300m from the central station and 1 minute walk to the cozy and crowded Red Light District area. Also just a 5-7 minutes walk to Dam Square. The hotel is located right in front of the well known Grasshopper building (see the images)
The staff in the reception was super friendly and very helpful for us during the entire 5 days stay. We had no problems extending our stay with a second room, as the staff was very flexible to offer us new bigger room.
The hotel itself is an old building as most other city-centre hotels, so dont expect high quality or fancy rooms. Its a simple design, with small rooms and small beds, yet clean and comfortable overall. Some might think its expensive for this standard, but I would say you pay the price for the central location. There is no elevator here though, so get ready for a walk among narrow stairs with the luggage. This was not a big problem for us though, even if we had big bags with us.
The hotel does not offer breakfast but you get a discount in the restaurant just below, which has many dishes and great food. The reception also has vendor machines for coffee, snacks and cigarettes.
Bathroom was clean, included shampoo and we had no problems with hot water.
All in all, a great place to stay for a few nights or a long weekend in Amsterdam, a lot thanks to the location! I highly recommend this place.
Thank you and see you next time :)
