The rooms, by Amsterdam norms, were a delight. They had bags of character with little porthole type windows overlooking the canal from two aspects. Although small, they provided just enough room for a big bed, a table, a chair, and a locker, albeit a bit useless.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though a bit on the small side and dusty, provided a quiet atmosphere, fitting for a heritage building. The service was a mix of unhelpful situations but also instances of helpfulness, especially with changing bedsheets. The location was superb, being in a quiet part of the city yet conveniently close to various local attractions and public transport. The dining experience stood out as one of the best I've had in a hotel, offering a delightful array of made-to-order dishes alongside a generous buffet.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfy and had nice canal views, but the noise from the mini fridge was a bit bothersome. The service was overall good, with helpful staff arranging taxi and providing luggage storage, although there was a strange incident of feeling watched. The location was fantastic, right on the stunning canals, which made it easy to explore the city. The dining options were a bit average in terms of seating space, but there were great selections available for various tastes.

The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere with a good breakfast. Despite being on the pricier side at EE 250 per night, the rooms were very small.

The hotel is situated in a lovely location near the ring canals in the museum district of Amsterdam, offering beautiful views of the canal from the bar and breakfast terrace. The rooms, although on the smaller side, are good for the price, but the steep stairs may pose a challenge for older guests. The service provided by the gracious staff is very helpful, especially with luggage, though some areas could be more attentive.
