The hotel left much to be desired as the rooms felt grimy and smoky, while the A/C seemed faulty and ineffective. However, the service was welcoming despite some interruptions and delays in renovation work outside the building.

The hotel's rooms have an unusual, dated Art Nouveau style with ants around the coffee area, but they offer a quiet atmosphere overlooking the inner courtyard. The service was marred by some unpleasant and dishonest interactions, especially at check-out. The location, though close to the city center and train station, felt a bit odd in its design. The dining experience was a mix of delights and disappointments. Overall, an interesting stay with both positive and negative aspects.

The rooms are decorated in an updated Art Nouveau style, with ants present around the coffee area. The carpets and wallpaper have a reddish-orange pattern, which may be disconcerting at first. Despite that, the quiet atmosphere facing the inner courtyard is a plus.

The hotel location is convenient for exploring Amsterdam, close to major attractions. The rooms were disappointing with cleanliness issues and maintenance issues like mold and stained carpets, diminishing the overall experience. The service was below expectations with mistakes and unhelpful staff. Dining was overpriced with limited options.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room wasn't fully set up, but facing the courtyard provided a peaceful night's sleep. The old room was a bit too hot, making it hard to sleep, yet it offered tranquility. The service was helpful and friendly, but there were some lapses in attention to detail. The location was awesome, but a bit challenging to find. The dining experience was not worth the money, and the facilities were adequate.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were massive and amazing but the chairs were not the best. The ceilings were impressively high, making the space feel grand. However, there was a concerning issue with my room being marked as 'Free' on their system, resulting in inconvenience during breakfast, and another guest gaining access with my key. Despite these setbacks, the room itself was huge, well-appointed, and exceptionally clean.

The hotel's room, despite being small and lacking some amenities, was beautifully decorated in an art nouveau style, which was a highlight. The new section at the back gave a different perspective to the stay, but the room number misguiding customers was a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were in terrible condition with broken mirrors, moldy sinkholes, and filthy carpets. The mattress was the only saving grace in terms of comfort. The mix-up with the room type was a major mood killer, and the evacuation on a Saturday night was frightening. The cleanliness was subpar overall.
