 Initially they gave us a horrible almost windowless interior room I had to change it immediately it s quite an expensive hotel for what you get and I chose it largely because it was attractive so to be offered a very ugly room was really depressing I couldn t have spent 1 night in there let alone 3 That said the minute I protested I was given another room But I would have preferred not to have started my holiday like that Not very soundproof I was woken by my neighbour s telephone alarm Location is convenient for museums and boats but it s a big noisy square full of tourists drinkers and right now roadworks Next time I would stay in the museum quarter itself or in Jordaan 
 I chose it for the art deco architecture and proximity to museums It s a fun building beautiful deco cafe room and lovely window in our room Very comfortable bed important after aLOT of walking quiet aircon and total blackout curtains Nice young staff
