Reviews and Ratings
The hostel is as basic as it gets, located less than a 5-minute walk from the Anne Frank House. It could use some upkeep, like a fresh coat of paint in the rooms. Unfortunately, the room amenities end at 9 am, and over a 4-night stay, clean bed linens or towels weren't provided. Overall, it's an extremely overpriced hostel, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
The hotel is in a prime location with easy access to transport and the city, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms are spacious and modern with a balcony offering a great view, but the noise level from outside can be disruptive at night. The dining options are basic and finish early, limiting choices for late risers. Despite these drawbacks, the service is impeccable and the overall value for money is decent.
The hotel was in a fairly central location that made it easy to reach key tourist attractions, but it was overpriced for what it offered. The rooms were dated and in need of maintenance, with issues like peeling paint and drainage problems. The breakfast service was lacking variety and had limited options available.
