 On arrival at the Hotel the receptionists were unwilling to proceed with check in unless we produced the credit card the trip was booked with I booked 6 months previous and since changed my credit card so could not do so After 20 minutes of arguing and some instruction from a boss we were eventually allowed to check in Not a great start but thankfully things improved from there Hotel seemed slightly further out from the City than we anticipated however once we had mastered the tram system this was not a problem It was approx 45 60 minute walk from Central Station we learned the hard way although we seen plenty of the City along the way 
 Most of the staff went out of the way to be helpful The building is also attached to the Foodhallen which is a wonderful foodcourt with dishes from all over the world there is also a daily market at Ten Katestraat which is also the name of the nearest Tram stop From Ten Katestraat Tram 17 runs to Central Station from which everywhere else in the City can be accessed and Tram 7 runs to Leidseplein Square which is full of bars and restaurants Then from Leidseplein and you can also get Tram 16 to Rembrandtplein which is lovely Far enough out from the mayhem and has a more relaxed vibe The tram system seems to be the best way to move around the city fast safe
