I had a lovely stay at this hotel in Amsterdam, thanks to its fantastic central location and the convenience of bike rental just around the corner. The room was clean and comfortable, which I appreciated, but the service was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, the value for money was decent, but I wish there were more breakfast options available to kickstart the day. It's definitely a spot I would recommend for anyone visiting the city.
