The hotel had a very good location for a first visit to Amsterdam, only a short walk from the Central station and close to all major sights. We had a room to the lively street (Rom No. 108) with a nice view to the Dam Square and the Royal castle, but when we closed the (double) windows, we could not hear the noise anymore. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was small,but had everything we needed and was as described by hotels.com. The free WiFi worked very well. Breakfast was simple, but sufficient, and we enjoyed having our morning coffee in the restaurant looking out at the street. We did not try the restaurant at night (they grant 10% discount if you stay in the hotel), but it semed very popular and always full of guest
