Not having stayed in any of the other hotels in the heart of Amsterdam, I don’t have a good basis for comparison. I chose this hotel because my teenagers refuse to share a bed, so the twin beds were really appealing and worked out well. The room itself was fine for what we needed but felt WAY overpriced, but then again, it looked comparable to other rooms available in the same area at the same time. Location-wise, this was a good choice for us because it was close to the train station and within walking distance of the tram and bike rental shop (which helped in visiting other parts of the city we didn’t want to walk to), and the Anne Frank House. There are several restaurants nearby and a nice little café across the street for coffee and pastries, and it’s right next door to a wonderful little shop with croissants and freshly made stroopwaffles.
