The room was smaller but ok for a solo traveler. The bathroom had a stale water smell (not sure where exactly from) and the sink faucet was leaky so it would constantly be dripping. Walls are also a little thin but ok. Otherwise pretty good stay, great location outside of the city center but still walkable to a lot of places.

Breakfast was good with a good selection, breakfast staff seemed to be well organised and worked hard 5stars
Very glamorous and chic! Maximalist aesthetic- boutique. Warm friendly team, I would recommend this hotel as it’s perfect for a short stay where you plan to be out and about for the majority of your time in Amsterdam.
Rooms were small. Excellent location. Good breakfast, they even had gluten free options. Good internet. The bed was comfortable.
The entrance to the hotel is a steep stairway, it is complicated when you have to carry heavy luggage or you are old. Staff is very attentive.
The room was not in the best location but the hotel was. Very clean and great fist

The Leonardo Museum Quarter is in a wonderful prime location. Right next to the Rijksmuseum.
The P.C. Hoofstraat is full of lovely shops and there is much to see a short walk away.
A lovely breakfast was included. The staff were terrific.
Now however the rooms are tiny especially for two adults with two standard cases.
When sitting on the commode one's elbow bangs against the toilet roll dispenser. All the doors tend to bump into each other etc...
There were not enough towels for a two day stay. We said it was OK not to make the beds etc. however I am used to maintenance at least emptying the trash cans and replacing towels! I helped myself to towels off a cart in the hall as no one was in attendance.
The hotel is smoke free HOWEVER there is an inner courtyard (lovely) where staff congregate to smoke and the smoke drifts up into the rooms. A nuisance unless one has a reaction to nicotine smoke...
The hotel kindly arranged a taxi to Schipol on our departure day and we had time for breakfast as well A plus.
I must have misread the Taxi advertisement at the reception desk as i THOUGHT it said Euro 28 flat fee to Schipol. That is a good price.
We were charged Euro 55. A bit steep but understandable with traffic and congestion at 0800 hours.
So mixed report. Would I go back? Yes but would use different cases and Uber everywhere and ask for a room not overlooking the courtyard.

La chambre était bien, la salle de bains un peu étriquée.
Het hotel ligt vlakbij alle bekende musea, de PC Hooftstraat en het Vondelpark. Openbaar vervoer is vlakbij. Prima uitgangspunt om de stad te verkennen

Staff at front desk was desorganized when we checked in as well as when we left. Lack of experience. The manager had to help.

Great location.
Location was perfect. Staff very helpful. Smallest room ever stayed in. 2 people and 2 med. sized bags did not fit. Walls needed new paint. We were there 3 days and made it work. If staying make sure you get a larger room, they did have them, but they were not available for us. Over all a good experience.
This is a quiet, safe, and convenient property for those wishing to visit Amsterdam museums and Vondel Park. It is no longer a Best Western affiliate. As one might expect from their rate structure, the single rooms are small and the single beds are likewise utilitarian. The bathroom and shower are also rather petite, but well appointed and functional. The staff was excellent, the breakfast buffet was of appropriate value, and they were happy to store our bags prior to check in, as well as after we checked out. Tram service is available with less than a three block walk, as well as the 197 Bus to and from Shipol Airport.
