    We had a great room in the maisonette style. The bathroom is in the living room free of charge, through black glass and decay designt. The bathroom itself was a bodenebende shower with regenfallbrause. If need be, a hair dryer to bring their own, as the existing model of little value and cumbersome service, (to businesses must be permanently a small button on the handle press). The room was brilliant bright and friendly. The really huge and comfy bed it was a small stairway to the top. At the mini bar were a water digester with dte and instantkaffepulver free available. As well as cups and glasses. Furthermore had the room on iron and ironing board, for business travellers surely an advantage.

    Our data refer only to the breakfast. The variety of dishes could have been much bigger, at a price of 14,50 Euro per person. (regular even 17,50 Euro), for example we have fresh vegetables (cucumber, tomato, peppers etc.) And more selection of jams or an offer of cereals missed. It was but nevertheless enough choice, in order to become full (we would have for this price but expected more). Scrambled eggs, mushrooms, sausages, cheese, sausage and sweet everything was there. The coffee was good (the beans fresh grinds), as well as the selection of juices.

    We were very friendly at the front desk at the check-in and even had the choice, whether rooms with or without stairs. The staff speaks english, german we did not at all have tried. For breakfast were the tables cleared quickly and cleaned. Cleaning of the room was done well, we had no reason to complain or something, not was okay. Requests/complaints we had not, that's why we can no more detailed information on the service make.

    Hotel lies approximately 500 meters from the metro 'weesperplein' (from there it is only 3 stops to centraal station) away, or approximately 200 meters from the tram stops from line 7 and 10 and is within walking distance to the public transport is well connected. Generally Amsterdam also on foot easy to explore, the lively leidseplein bars and restaurants all art is also easily reachable on foot or tram 7 and 10.

    Our room (263 ) was great furnished, all white, with bathroom, which is only by a tinted glass from the main room was divided, safe for some getting used to, for us reasonable. The bathtub stands in the bathroom, also smart. Very quiet, the window left open. The hall lights could be a bit brighter... The breakfast was relaxed, very delicious and varied dishes for offer, only the ( only) coffee machine generates a strange coffee.

Delicious breakfast buffet with the typical Dutch specialties, fruit and everything you need for a good start in the day. The distance to the center is OK. Pleasant peaceful location.

Since we as friends a double room divided, were not schließbaren doors the bath (swinging doors) of the integrated Bath rather habituation-needily-rather something for long couple. The night was marred by the loud closings of the floor doors ( probably ), other explanations we had for the prolonged Rumsen until the wee hours of the morning not. If you feast sleeps, not a problem - if not, very annoying. The service in the restaurant left to desire, one was rather busy, as with the guests. So clean we for breakfast even a table and worried uS cutlery. All together no ... pure disaster, but under 4 stars you something other before. read more

Very stylish hotel in the Mordendes with old connected-you can feel the past and also notices, that it was an orphanage was, this is a somewhat dodgy but pleasant in scene set> extremely high doors and rooms and rooms (partially 2 levels) and impressive Rose. Also sapannend are the black bathrooms in the middle in the living room - whereas these 2 rooms only by a black glass wall separated. I can recommend the hotel,. Is something other.

For all the joy of the specific design and a kind decor is the hotel can only be recommended. Very extraordinary details and lovingly furnished. Unfortunately not so nicely kept clean. Cobwebs under the open Steps from the gallery with the sleeping area. Crumbs remained were also after three days still on the floor. Towels were picked up in the morning, but only evenings renewed. Despite all beautiful hotel with good traffic connections to city center. read more

We had a room in this hotel during a weekend trip to Amsterdam. The hotel itself is located at about 30 minutes on foot from the inner city centre. Our room was on the upper floor and rather small but with all comfort. The hotel is nicely designed in an old church style building. Breakfast was basic but the quantity was enough. Good balance price-value. read more

The rooms are very large and stylish. My Tip: Suite. This has a huge bathroom and a large bathtub for second missing was a bathrobe. Otherwise great. The food in the restaurant was just great. Super Price/Performance Ratio. My tip: Chee burgers and gnocchi Primavera. We used the room service. Minibar: rather expensive. small Champagne: 40 euro Excursions: Anne Frank Museum, the pancake bakery (very popular. Queue) You can take the tram in five minutes walk from the town center. Warm clothes, as it always windy. If you want to be surprised, then this hotel is just right ☺ read more
