I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. If you can accept that there will be no cleaning in the room during your stay, no breakfast at the hotel, and no amenities, this could be the hotel for you. These things don`t concern me, so was not a problem. The hotel is reasonably quiet, very close to a park and a large market, many restaurants close by, and very close to trams, passing through the museumplein. My one complaint is that hot water for making tea, from a vending machine, cost 1 euro per cup. I would have hoped this could have been a gratis service for guests, as other amenities were lacking.
