"Great hotel in the heart of the West of Amsterdam. Having grown up in that neighbourhood it was nice to have a nostalgic place to stay when visiting home. Staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful at all times. Check in and check out was smooth and they even looked after my luggage whilst I went out after checking out. The room was clean, comfy bed and good shower. The only real downside is that I explicitly put a do not clean sign on my door so that the cleaners wouldn't wake me up and they barged into the room at 9 in the morning anyway! They then kept asking me in the hallway if I'm checking out and I kept having to say no I'm just heading out. Then on the day I checked out they came in again after I told them to stop doing that and disturbing my sleep. It really puts a dent in your day when your woken up like that in what is meant to be a private room. No knocking just used the keys and entered whilst I'm in there with a sign on the door! Beyond that great place to stay and close to tram stops, shopping mall and supermarket so super convenient. Will definitely come back."
