This is a very charming and historic building which I happen to love. The modern decor is a wonderful complement to the old features. The staff was great -. Esp Melanie who did dinner reservations for me, booked taxis, and even made a to go breakfast bag for me when I had to leave very early for the airport. I had a room facing the garden and you can hear church bells — it didn’t bother me but some people may not like. Easy walking to most of the major tourist spots. Would definitely recommend.

I love the original of the hotel overall. The very classic look of every walls, doors, ceilings, lightings etc. Love your bed and pillows. This is a big plus. ❤️But the room with the tub is not very practical.

Overall, this was a good location for a few days in Amsterdam. We found the staff friendly, and the property clean. It is an old house, and the stairs to the rooms are narrow, so this is not a place for anyone with mobility issues (of any kind) or those that find using stairs (of any kind) difficult.

The staff here was absolutely wonderful! When I arrived at 9am from a different hotel, my room was ready! I stayed close to the center because I came for the weekend to celebrate Kingsday. The location was so close to everything and was even near two of my favorite restaurants! It is a 5 minute walk to the Anne Frank House too. I would highly recommend this hotel and will most likely stay here next time I come to Amsterdam.

This historic building has been renovated into a unique hotel, the kind I look for when traveling. The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed, and the staff members were first rate! They are very attentive and will even explain the history of the building. I would absolutely stay here again. Keep in mind you will need to negotiate short flights of stairs here and there, even if you use the lift.

Rooms and whole hotel environment very dark, my room basically had no windows (hidden behind the bed therefore hard to open curtains and looking at a wall) which considering the price of the stay very disappointing. Staff was very friendly
