Nice Hotel with a very cool vibe. The service was lovely. The 2 level room takes getting used to (perhaps difficult for less mobile people). Otherwise really nice. The breakfast buffet is ok (22euros). Very busy at night due to multiple halls being rented out for events. However, you cant hear any of the noise in the room.
We stayed here for four nights and had a lovely visit. The hotel has alot of character due to its long history but its also been modernised and looks beautiful inside. Staff were friendly and helpful during our stay too!
The location is great if you don't want to be right in the thick of Central Amsterdam. There's a lovely park right outside and travel via tram into Central is close by and only a short ride.
The only negatives we had were the booking isn't very clear that you have to pay a €50 deposit per night of your stay and a city tax on top of that. So just be aware of that when making a booking!
Our only other negative was the room we booked was a double bed but the bed was actually two singles pushed together and they would slide apart from each other.

Excellent service from the staff. Had to move room because of ‘plumbing’ noises at night but very comfortable room and we were moved without issue. A little further from the centre than we would ideally have liked but getting trams around was no problem.
Stayed here recently when visiting Amsterdam for the first time, I don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else 😊
Location is great, there are two tram stops about 8/11 mins away so you can get to everywhere easily, which is great when you're a tourist. The park the hotel faces is also beautiful.
The building itself is stunning but eery, but don't let that put you off as nothing supernatural happened to us 🤣 beds were super comfy and really appreciated that each time our room was serviced they gave us free water and new coffee pods 😊

I had a lovely stay here. I was visiting my daughter, who is at University, for the weekend and the location was perfect: quiet but still only a short stroll into the city centre.
The room was spotless and I was welcomed with a free drinks voucher as I'd been randomly selected as 'guest of the day' which I thought was a lovely touch.
I will definitely be using this hotel again.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The location is lovely. Here are the pros and cons of this hotel...
PROS: beautiful hotel, calm location, the restaurant has a great atmosphere, the hotel is relatively central and not too crowded. The service was good and the staff helpful. Brekky was included and was okay with relative variety.
CONS: The bed was particularly uncomfortable with a mattress topper that wasn't attached and therefore moved during the night. I was left with a back ache. The blinds didn't fully close, which let the light in early in the morning from 4am. Overall I didn't think it was good value for money. Additionally I think information about extra taxes should be clearer from booking. It was clear there would be a charge, but not how much.

We stayed here for 2 nights in this lovely hotel. I really liked the feel and atmosphere of it. The woman who checked us in was very helpful. There are big lockers to store your luggage if you're early which was great, made it feel more secure instead of a random cupboard. Our room was really nice. It was a 'cosy room' on one level. No view but to be expected with the less expensive room type. It was beside one of the elevators so this could be heard during the night but didn't keep me awake unlike my husband who has difficulty getting to sleep anyway. The bar area was very nice next to the fire to celebrate with a drink for my birthday 😊
This is an old women’s psychiatric hospital, restored beautifully and located on the edge of a park. We stayed for two nights (a week apart) and both times got a “loft” room which has a tiny sitting area and bathroom on the main and a very good king sized bed upstairs. The stairs are treacherous so if you have any mobility issues (or get up frequently in the night) specify a room on one level. The breakfast was buffet style and excellent with lovely tables on the terrace facing the park. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but the one evening we went down for a drink, service was very slow. It’s a bit of a hike to walk to the main downtown area, but they have bikes you can rent very cheaply. All in all, would stay there again.
