 The tram works outside the hotel spoiled the outlook of the hotel but I assume that will be a temporary disruption Getting to and from the hotel was an ordeal due to the tram works and cyclists and motor cyclists not sticking to cycle tracks or signalling where they want to go You had to have your wits about you crossing roads and cycle tracks 
 Room was quiet and comfortable and staff very helpful and friendly There was a good selection of breakfast food available in the beautiful historic Cafe American We paid 20 euros each per day for breakfast on top of the room rate Would suggest warm clothing for breakfast during winter months as the large cafe is draughty The hotel was near the canals and museum district
