The hotel was booked not by our choice, but by a travel agent as part of their group tour package. If you are 50+, or with any physical limitations, do not consider this hotel. To enter the hotel, you must climb ~ 1/2 a flight of steep stairs. We were a group (~30) of older travelers (all 60+) and had to carry our own suitcases to the lobby - the staff offered no assistance and only watched. The lobby is tiny, barely accommodating the people, let alone their luggage. No assistance was provided to get suitcases to the room - which took a while as the elevator barely fit 2 suitcases and a person. The room we were assigned was miniscule. To avoid bumping into the wall when getting out of bed, you had to scoot to the end of the bed, and then be careful not to trip over your suitcase as there was no place to put them except on the floor. They were ill prepared to handle a larger group of people coming in for breakfast running out of silverware and food and not seeming to care (another steep set of stairs to get to the breakfast room). Others in our group indicated they had a larger room and said it was ok. The saving grace for us was that it was at least located ~.3 miles to a tram that you can take to the center of Amsterdam. We would not consider this hotel to be in the center of Amsterdam, but the outer fringe of the centrum. The hotel was relatively clean, but the decor was tired. The bathroom was in good condition, but had a half step to enter and many stubbed their toes! Watch out though - the shower curtain was too short so you can easily create a "flood" when showering! Have fun!
