This hotel needed to be cleaned. The floors were filthy. The blinds on the window would not close and to use the air conditioning the window needed to be left open. It was hot. It was a windy 3 flight climb up to my unit with zero assistance.

Great location and great staff! I know other hotel rooms lacked air conditioning but our room was comfortable and very clean. The hotel had complimentary happy hour too. One thing to note is that the bathroom area is all glass if privacy is of any concern. Overall, wonderful stay.

No AC, average place to stay
Our check-in experience was good. The location is awesome, walking distance to quite a bit of stuff. It's close to two train stops, the Rijksmuseum, the Heineken museum. We are Americans from the south so the whole not having any A.C. in the summer was pretty brutal during our stay. The AC didn't work, so we had to have fans running around the clock and have our windows open the entire time and it was still probably 78 degrees in our unit. The shower was not easy to use. They say there's a bar but no one ever works it so that isnt really a bar. The front desk people were very helpful, allowed us a later check-out time and also held our bags which was nice. Our stay was fine, but definitely not great. Amsterdam was amazing though.

Staff was very nice. Was in safe part of Amsterdam. The room was a tad confusing the fan plugged in would only work with lights on so I moved it. Floor ac unit did not work at all the room was very warm, the wall unit was broken, tv also didn’t work unless all lights were on so I didn’t use it. Comfortable and spacious very very quiet with window wide open on the cool nights in Amsterdam in July thankfully!

If you booked this hotel because it had AC, sadly, you will be disappointed. You get a roll in unit that is loud and generates more heat than it cools, you also have to leave your windows open to use it, even if you are on the street level. No ventilation for the shower so the room is constantly hot and humid, even more so in Summer. The canal view is not guaranteed, even if you booked it. Cleanliness is poor at best, we immediately checked our sheets and towels and found they were not fresh, even the previous occupants hairs still in the bed so clearly nothing was changed. Long story short, save your money, it’s a 1 star experience with a 5 star price tag.
