The rooms are newly renovated and it’s great. The staff are very friendly and delightful. The location is the best location. The only issue is the stairs and that’s pretty standard in Amsterdam I guess.
Had a lovely time there and the staff were very welcoming and the location was amazing, will definitely be our first choice hotel if we come back to Amsterdam
Thankyou
Nice hotel in the central part of the city. Just a quick walk from Central Station.

Staff was super. Room was very small but clean with comfortable beds. So close to the train station was a bonus. Stairway to our room was very steep.
The staff was courteous and friendly. They went out of their way to help us with every question and need that arose. The lounge area provided a great space for game-playing as well as offering an array of games and books.
Cleanliness was top-notch!
Clean, comfortable accommodation. Steep stairs to top floor which would not suit some. Sociable friendly helpful staff. Fantastic location, 2 mins from station.
This hotel has the perfect location in the center of Amsterdam . All in a walking distance . Staff was super friendly and welcoming . Only down side was the stairs as this is a little work with luggages . I would stay here again
Amazingly quiet, great location by Centraal Statuo
Amazingly quiet given the location. Much nicer than the “fashion” hotel a few doors down which was loud. Steps from Centraal Station but somehow as quiet as the country.
A very nice clean hotel that is very central. Close to all major attractions. Staff are very nice and helpful. Rooms have all that you need. Bathroom small but good facilities. The bar is nice with a good view. Would stay again.
