Guests may stay in a typical Amsterdam tram cart or a room tucked behind a large bookcase filled with antique books.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient with nearby tram stops, and the hotel was right next to the trendy Jordaan neighborhood. However, the rooms were a bit cramped and lacking windows, making it feel stuffy at times. The noise from other guests could also be a disturbance, especially with younger visitors around.

Our week-long stay in the caravan room in the hotel lobby was cozy but a bit small for our luggage. It was nice, though didn't feel as spacious as depicted in the pictures. We enjoyed the quick access to Amsterdam's well-known areas and the nearby tram stop for easy commute. The dining experience was value for money, and we appreciated the individual cubicles for toilets and showers. However, being a bit outside the city center was the only drawback.

The hotel is conveniently situated close to the Museum Place, offering a peaceful location away from the bustle of the city. The rooms, although lacking windows and fresh air, are cozy but may feel a bit cramped. The service, highlighted by attentive housekeeping and a welcoming drink, adds a nice touch to the stay. The dining options, though tasty, might come with a slightly higher price tag. Overall, a decent value for a stay slightly out of the central area of the city.
