Central location, easy to get to. 10 minute walk from AMS Central station. There is also Nieuwmarkt Subway about 3-4 min walk that can take you to AMS Central or AMS Airport. There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. There is also a supermarket, Albert Heijn, which has the best prices for food and drinks on the next street over. Hotel wise, it is not the best, the plumbing had slight issues in the room, in-room sink would make a noise and drain slowly. Showers and bathrooms are shared and were clean. They are for men.women. The stairs are like all AMS hotels, they are steep, not recommended if you carry large luggage. We do fine as we only carry one bag/light. They have free breakfast, not fantastic, but great since everything costs money in AMS. Bar is open with beer and liquor. Plenty of people stop by for drinks and to chat with, very entertaining to people watch. Room has heater. Room was stuffy, but opening windows helped. This stay was for getting rest and ending our trip to catch a flight. Place felt safe, staff checks who enters hotel. We saw single women, couples stay at hotel. Most were ok with their stay. Staff were good to talk to and gave local info/transportation help. It was great location to have access to bathroom near the city center.
