The hotel is in a very central location, offering nice and clean rooms despite a minor issue with an annoying night light in the bathroom that can be covered for darkness. The initial darkness upon arrival was quickly forgotten with a small oversight in housekeeping. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making our anniversary stay special. The location, at the edge of Amsterdam's city center, was perfect for us to explore the city, being close to the central train station and various restaurants. The dining experience, though a bit pricey, was not a highlight due to limited choices in the buffet. Overall, the hotel is well located and offers friendly service with some room for improvement in minor details.

The hotel was beautifully set up with Champagne in the room, and it was clean and elegant. The service was welcoming and helpful, although I couldn't get help on a midday Saturday. The location was perfect, close to the central train station and walking distance to many great restaurants and sights. The dining experience was truly exceptional with fresh, mouthwatering options, but it's better to have breakfast at a local spot. The facilities were reasonable and filling.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was huge, comfortable, and spotlessly clean with an amazing view of a brick wall out the window. The location was brilliant, just a 5-minute walk from the Red Light District and Central Station, surrounded by McDonald's and plenty of coffee shops. The service was friendly, but a bit disorganized and inexperienced for a higher-end hotel. Dining was not entirely inclusive, with additional charges for 'fancy' breakfast items. Overall, a great value for the money especially with the central location.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, faced a dreary brick wall with poor soundproofing. However, the amenities provided were top-notch. The service was friendly and helpful, yet a bit of attention to detail was lacking. The location was convenient, being close to Amsterdam's city center but lacked some bedside essentials. The dining options were satisfying, although room service delivery was a downside. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs, but decent value for money.

The hotel is perfectly located, just a 5-minute walk from both the red light district and Central Station, surrounded by McDonald's and plenty of coffee shops. The room, despite smelling strongly of weed, offered a beautiful canal view to wake up to. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some staff going above and beyond for our anniversary but others ignoring requests like replacing light bulbs. The location is unbeatable, close to the city center and in a calmer area next to a canal. Facilities were basic but decent.
