The hotel offers various themed rooms, some quirky and fun, making it a great choice for a short break with a loved one. However, the room I stayed in felt a bit claustrophobic without windows, which made it lacking fresh air.

The hotel is a mixed bag with some positive and negative aspects. The rooms are very small and lack necessary amenities like a hair dryer and proper storage, but the hidden door behind a bookcase adds a touch of charm. The location feels safe and homely, convenient with tram stops nearby, but not centrally located. The dining experience was good overall with happy staff and satisfying breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient with nearby tram stops, and the hotel was right next to the trendy Jordaan neighborhood. However, the rooms were a bit cramped and lacking windows, making it feel stuffy at times. The noise from other guests could also be a disturbance, especially with younger visitors around.

The rooms were quite small, like a middle-range wardrobe, with no windows for fresh air and limited space to store belongings like bags or toiletries. The proximity to Kevin Bacon and noise from other guests traveling through a bookshelf could be bothersome.

Our week-long stay in the caravan room in the hotel lobby was cozy but a bit small for our luggage. It was nice, though didn't feel as spacious as depicted in the pictures. We enjoyed the quick access to Amsterdam's well-known areas and the nearby tram stop for easy commute. The dining experience was value for money, and we appreciated the individual cubicles for toilets and showers. However, being a bit outside the city center was the only drawback.

The hotel is conveniently situated close to the Museum Place, offering a peaceful location away from the bustle of the city. The rooms, although lacking windows and fresh air, are cozy but may feel a bit cramped. The service, highlighted by attentive housekeeping and a welcoming drink, adds a nice touch to the stay. The dining options, though tasty, might come with a slightly higher price tag. Overall, a decent value for a stay slightly out of the central area of the city.
