Superb location, great area in the inner city. Beautiful room.

Yang Canada

We loved the location of the hotel, it was half way distance from central and half way to the museums. I LOVED that the hotel was just about bar bitterball. The bar atmosphere was amazing and the face that they had a coffeeshop and bar next door made the location even more incredible. highly recommended. I would definitely stay there again.

Sarah United States of America

It was a really comfortable and fun stay. The staff are just the best, they’re the friendlies and they make you feel like you’re home. All of them were very friendly but especially Maleek, he’s really friendly and helpful

Hussain Saudi Arabia

What a great location! Bed was comfy. Room was clean. Staff was beyond helpful! We couldn’t ask for a better stay.

Cotie United States of America

Great area, lovely room, comfy bed and lovely staff downstairs

David United Arab Emirates

- good location - clean room - nice red fridge :) - a lot of dining options around

Sergiy United States of America

The rooms are beautifully decorated with new furniture and a clean atmosphere. The staircase is a true Dutch staircase which is part of the experience staying in Amsterdam. The views from the room include a canal view and great for people watching from above.

Raina United States of America

Bed was very comfortable. Wifi in room was excellent. Breakfast was simple but good. Bar was fun, beer was cold. Appetizers were excellent. Staff was helpful in every way. Owners visited and were concerned with our thoughts and suggestions. Location couldn't have been better. Our room had a fan which provided some noise so busy street didn't matter. Mini fridge in room was stocked with soft drinks. Rail stop at the end of street, used it to visit Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. 10 min. walk to Red light district, plenty of good close restaurants. Starbucks and grocery store across street. I'd stay here again.

Brent United States of America

Staff were fantastic - not a lot of interaction, but they were always welcoming, friendly, helfpul and smiling. Very nice atmosphere as a result for a little (5 room) hotel above a bar. Room was small, but nice - comfy bed, decent shower, nicely laid out. A long walk up (no lift) with narrow stairs, but very happy with the room.

Terry United Kingdom

Great location and the staff were friendly and helpful
