“Would Stay Again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

I was somewhat nervous about staying here after reading some of the past reviews, but when I got here I was pleasantly surprised. This is a small boutique hotel, which is centrally located and easily assessable to public transportation. The selling point here is the GREAT staff, which was very friendly and helpful. They gave me tips on transportation, places to go, food and overall things to do in Amsterdam. I called the hotel a couple of times because I got lost in Amsterdam to get directions and they were very helpful. One night, I came into the hotel, right as the restaurant was closing. I asked if they were still open, they informed me they were not. The chef/cook was coming from the back as I was talking to the host. He asked me what would you like. I said well you are closing, he than said no I will cook something for you. What would you like, I said, “I don't know " He asked if I liked chicken, I said yes. He than went and cooked me a piece of grilled chicken and made a salad. I was so appreciative of this because he was not required to do this. I would definitely recommend this hotel because the staff makes up for what may be lacking in the rooms. Don’t get me wrong the rooms are ok but I was just not prepared to sleep in a single bed.

Room Tip: Bring rollers or be prepared not to do hair, Curler Irons don't work even with converters.

Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Decent location (nothing is ever really far in Amsterdam). Would stay there again.

“Decent experience, Although not a 4*”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I was very surprised when we saw the hotel form the exteriors as it did not potray whata 4* hotel would seem to be like.

On arrival, the receptionist was very courteous and helped us with check in and also showed us on map touristy places as well.

What I din't find comfortable in the rooms was that the air conditioning was not switched on although our rooms were pre-booked. The heat (it was summer) was intense and we had to open our windows for almost an hour to get the heat out.

Furthermore, the internet wifi was very very slow. When contacted the reception all they could offer was to use an old machine in their business center which was a fixed internet connection, and apparently faster.

Also the bathrooms don't have latches. So, if you are sharing rooms with business associates, you may want to reconsider.

Excellent breakfast, with good variety to offer. Courteous staff at restaurant. bar and reception. Good house keeping services as well.

All in all, would reccommend for single persons or couples or families. Would think again if you are on business, as the internet was really a problem for me !

“Great choice for our tour group.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

A group I toured with stayed at the Memphis recently. I have to say we found the location to be great (right on the #16 tram line into the central district and all the main attractions) and with several nice little local type restaurants and shops within several blocks walk. I found the room to be clean and well serviced, the bed comfy, the wireless internet was free (for a change), and the front desk staff was very helpful and provided excellent service. The only thing I felt could be changed was the heat in the room. We were on the 4th floor, and since heat rises, the room was hard to cool down. We had the windows open overnight in Dec to keep it comfortable.

“Great location - but not exciting!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

First stay in Amsterdam (Lovely place) and hotel in a very good spot with only 10 minutes to central town and all there is to see. However, room very, very small, not possible to open window as large busy road and staff did not change bed for our four day stay (first time for me!). Otherwise ok as clean room, reasonable breakfast and accommodating staff.
