My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in on the top floor, away from the front of the hotel, felt like a cramped attic with dingy beds, but it was very clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The service was very friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations, although there could have been more staff available for a smoother dining experience. The location couldn't have been better, centrally located and near popular spots like The Ann Frank House and the Dam square. The dining was good quality but had some delays in service. The facilities were adequate, but room for improvement was noted. Overall, a decent stay with a few hiccups.
