 Had to pay EUR30 a night to upgrade to a canal view room didn t have much of a choice as the original room which i was given had a really sucky view of the other building and was really dim Although the hotel had a pillow menu all the pillows i picked seemed extremely uncomfortable Room was recently refurbished with new mattress and fittings but the mattress had no support at all It was too soft with just a thin mattress topper i did not have a good rest at all for the 3 nights 
 Location was really good Bus 197 from Schipol airport stops nearby and was an easy 3 5 min walk to the hotel The canal cruises Lovers cruise as well as a Hop on Hop off cruise stop is right in front of hotel Ask the concierge for a coupon that gives 3 off a 1hr cruise Tram stop is also nearby and tram no 1 2 and 5 brings u into city centre and train station
