Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently mention the spacious rooms, some featuring canal views, balconies, and even mini sofas for relaxation. The hotel's location is appreciated for its tranquility, with easy access to attractions like the Van Gogh Museum and the city center via tram. Breakfast is often described as incredible, and the outdoor bar area by the canal is a relaxing spot. Some guests, however, have found the facilities a bit dated considering the price.
