Noisy at night, but I knew that beforehand and brought earplugs.

Location is great! Lots of restaurants and shops around, close to major attractions.
Room and bathrooms were ok. Coffeemaker is a plus.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The club under the hotel kept us awake all night with very loud music. Also drunk hotel guests coming back from night out at 3-4 am were very loud and there no noise isolation in the room. Rooms were not cleaned properly. Lots of dust and hair everywhere. Bathroom was ok though.

Super convenient that they had a room set up for 3, it's usually hard to find one! The location was quite central and touristy but easy to access good museums and sites. The street is loud indeed but the triple room being on the 4th floor really saved us from any noise. In addition, the blackout covers for the windows and insolation meant we slept like babies! Overall a good value for the price!
Nothing in particular, staircase is indeed super narrow and uncomfortable to climb with things and the bar downstairs is always crowded and loud but nothing that seriously disturbed our stay.

rooms are good
we are seniors and had rooms in the 3rd and 4th floors. no elevators and had a very hard time carrying our luggages through very steep narrow winding staircases which one of us almost fell.
We did not meet any receptionist from the time we checked in up to the time we checked out.
Quite a troubling experience

We were very close to one of the main city squares, Rembrandtplein.
Restaurants and some main city attractions were close by.
On our first day, the staff was very helpful. They provided us with maps and reference points.
The room was smaller than I expected, but according to Amsterdam´s architecture, it is normal.
We rested comfortably without any issues.
Our room was towards the back of the building. Away from the main street.

Room was very comfy, clean and warm. The location is great very accessible by public transport from airport and surrounded by amenities. The staff were very friendly and helpful and helped when we needed advice with directions and booking tours.
We were staying on the top floor, so up 5 flights of steep stairs, which is to be expected in Amsterdam that the stairs are steep but with luggage and no lift, it was a bit harder than expected although the staff did offer to help with luggage.

Prime location
We were not aware it was above a nightclub and the walls were not exactly sound proof. We could hear music until 4:00am in the morning.

everything was amazing, the place and specially the king size bed ! never slept so good in my life😂 very cozy place and the room was in the heart of the city 🌆
6.0
The location was great. A lot of restaurants near by. Very nice staff.
The stairs are a bit steep but I think it’s an Amsterdam thing. Entrance was literally shared with a bar entrance; sometimes people were in front of the small door smoking.

Damp and mould in the windows and bathroom.
7.0
Excellent location. The young lady at the venue was lovely; friendly & helpful. Shower room was very nice along with being very clean.
Certainly an ideal base for those wanting to party in the many bars close by. We found some wonderful restaurants within a 15 min walk.
The bedroom was tiny; a little too small for comfort of more than a nights stay.

Very central. The room was very warm and cozy.

8.0
The location is absolutely amazing, 5 mins walking from metro station, literally in Rembrandtlplein: one of the two pub squares in the city
Very steep stairs (it's Amsterdam nothing to do with the hotel)
The reception isn't available 24hrs, and you have to wake up early to get your room cleaned, ( we woke up couple of days late 11:30-1400.., and the cleaning staff was already done with the work)
Our room was so small, i couldn't put my baggage on the floor
