For a European hotel, the room was above average in regards to size. The location was very good in regards to some attractions, such as the Van Goh Musuem and Rikjsmuseum, and -- because Amsterdam is easy to get around -- OK for elsewhere. The staff was cordial, but no more than should be expected. The room itself was rather barebones, not so clean and the shower fairly miserable. All of this is OK, except when factoring in the price, which was steep all things considered. I would not stay here again, not reccommend anyone else to do so.
