+ Secure Parking Garage Great food at the lounge

- Secure Parking Garage costs 22.50 Euro a day. On our 2nd visit to the lounge, I think the waitress was new- as there was "a problem with the sauce" - resulting in our waiting an hour for our food. That and the waitress never came back to check on us after taking our order. Our 2nd waitress was much more helpful and even gave us a free coffee.

+ The whimsical art theme in the hotel was a delight, especially the wildly painted cow figures standing sentry in front of the hotel. The very Dutch bar-bistro is very cozy and nice---better to eat here than in the restaurant.

- The restaurant is over-priced. Service in restaurant is poor.

Jeffrey Simard Remote Location but a very nice and comfortable stay

+ We checked in and left for the day and when we arrived back very late at night, we found the sofa bed had been prepared for us. Considering how tired we were, this was a great surprise.

- It is a bit far away from the inner city, especially for those walking on foot.

Daisy Good hotel

+ The hotel bedroom was small but very well decorated. The beds were so comfortable it was unreal.The staff themselves were very polite to us throughout our holiday and helped in any way possible.

- I thought the only bad point was upon arrival when a member off staff by the name of hans used my card to take 100 euro pre approval off my card even though we had paid in full before arrival. I was later told that this was to cover anything from the bar but 100 euro was a lot to take off a card.

+ Well laid out, very clean and tidy with excellent reception staff. All staff pleasant and friendly. Location quiet but close enough for getting into Amsterdam Centre.

- Although mini-bar a nice feature, tea/coffee making facilities would be a good point

+ The location of the hotel is the ideal one, as it has the bus-stop right outside and it is located in a green area. We were very pleased by the people who are working in the hotel, as they did the best for us, both in August that we had faced a health problem and now. The "Art cafe" has also excellent service and the people who are working there are very helpful and polite too. We plan to come again for a longer stay in summer of 2008 (God help us, of course). Is there a possibility of having lower rates? That would enable us to visit Amsterdam at least once a year, as we simply adored it!!! Thanks!

- Wherever I have stayed including the Balcans, there exist free computers and printers. Internet services are free, plus one can write and save anything in a Word format. I was displeased by the fact that I had to pay a lot for the internet services in the hotel.

+ Adapter was available immediately, quite location, iron board was delivered quickly.

- If your on the 3 star side there is no room service available. I think room service should be available to anyone regarding which part of the hotel your staying. It is very incovenient for customers.

+ Good location, quiet place, friendly staff

- 1. I booked triple number, but as I understand, we lived in double with additional bad, isn't it? In this case price must be lower. 2. In final invoice I paid extra money (3.90) for telephone use(28 and 29.07). These days I with my friends were in Paris, therefore we did'n use telephone during weekend.

+ Pleasant hotel interior due to not very common architecture and decoration, nice room (310), good quality extra bed, willing people at the reception

- Not very careful daily preparation of the room. Expensive enough compared with similar hotels in other european countries (we paid almost 50 Euros more per evening, than we paid last summer for "Savoy Hotel" in Berlin). Smell from the big chimney near the harbour??

+ Great rooms, lovely clean hotel, couldn't fault it

- Very poor attidtude from staff at the front of house. Do they know how to smile and be welcoming?They were efficient but unfriendly. Would put me off staying at this hotel again. We were told a 15 minute walk from hotel to Central Station. Not so we had to take a bus every day.

+ The hotel was very clean and comfortable and the staff were all polite and helpful. The bar was fairly lively and the breakfast looked good.

- The hotel is a 30 minute walk from the city centre and you will need to take a bus (Number 48 which costs 2 euros and 40 cents each way) or a taxi to get in and out of the city.
