Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had a private bathroom; however, the lack of proper air-conditioning was inconvenient. The service was attentive, but there was room for improvement. The location was just in the center of Amsterdam, which was convenient, yet being in a very small alley posed some challenges. Facilities were decent with no standout features but satisfactory overall.
