to get started.

Nice staff, place seemed clean, room was very small, hardly enough space for bathroom door to open & close.

California, United States of America

Breakfast was good and filling. The location was great - just a half block from the tram, which took us to Central Station in about 10 minutes. The hotel also had a very nice restaurant and bar.

Petersabev, Bulgaria

Great location. Great vibe. Very clean and quiet.

Kieran, Ireland

Fast self check-in and check-out. Good breakfast buffet with good coffee. Very near the Artis tram station and Artis Zoo. Near museums and botanical garden

Dennis, Philippines

One minute walk to tram. Plenty of places to eat. Excellent friendly staff, particularly Mohammad.

Robert, United States of America

Location close to the zoo and the city center but not in the middle of the action

Tommaso, United States of America

The hotel was lovely, however for the price lacking in extras like room food service, pool/spa facilities. It labels as a boutique hotel, the only thing boutique was the restaurant that was open to public. The room was lovely, however small window with no view. The bathroom was gorgeous. I stayed in a superior room. If I was to return I would look for somewhere a bit closer to the towns.

I had a horrible stay as I was on the ground floor near the entrance and could not sleep due to all the noise and commotion coming from the registration area and the restaurant by the entrance, The phone rang; heard the clerk all night long; heard the other guests as well.
The location of the hotel was great.

I liked everything, but I must say the bathroom was a bit small, albeit characteristic for old buildings such as the Lancaster.

The management staff are not very hospitable. They just process guests. I was confronted at midnight on my second day because, despite having paid through a secure portal, my payment wasn't confirmed. On my return from dinner, the night manager rudely threatened to keep us locked out of our room if I didn't pay immediately. Disgusting, frankly. A shame. The only dark blot on an otherwise wonderful trip. (The cleaning lady was an angel. They should employ her to run the hotel.)
The location was perfect. Right in the middle of a great precinct full of coffee shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and the restaurant was world class.
