 We stayed in the basement rooms which I wouldn t recommend It was fine for me and my boyfriend as we spent hardly anytime in the hotel and we are both heavy sleepers You can hear every footstep above you and loads on noise we also noticed a really bad smell one morning from the outside coming in 
 The room was lovely and spacious and bathroom was perfect Location is good a 25min walk to the main area the Dam and a 2 min walk to Leidsplein a busy area with access to trams for a 5 min journey to the area Our room was ready when we arrived at 10 o clock which is always a bonus
