The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was brilliant for a short walk to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Blue Boat tours, the Vondelpark. There were also so many good breakfasting and dining options in De Pijp. It is a budget hotel, and as such it is not luxurious. The bed, bedding and curtains need a thorough review! Nevertheless I had a good stay thank you.
