 Housekeeping housekeeping housekeeping When we checked in our room was clean But the next 6 nights showed how unprofessional and vindictive their housekeeping services can be On our second night back at the hotel room after a long day we found the toilet bowl and cover filled with dirt hair and blackish water My husband had to use the brush and clean the toilet himself We complained to the hotel manager Veronika who was nice enough to have a chat with us She apologised and graciously offered a token meal and assured us she would have a word with the housekeeping supervisor But our stay continued to be ruined by more housekeeping woes as their behaviour became very vindictive when it came to cleaning our room The very next day housekeeping very messily made up our bed We found dirt and hair on our pillows which indicated that they threw the pillows on the floor while making the bed Again the following day we found the pillows placed on the tables instead of on our bed 
 Friendly courteous and helpful staff at reception notably Bert and Daphne Although not in Amsterdam Central the hotel is only a 5min walk to the Amsterdam Sloterdijk station which is a 5min train ride away from Central 5min walk to Spar a nice supermarket Excellent food at the hotel bistro thanks to the talented and passionate Chef Khalid Be sure he s around and you ll be guaranteed a delicious experience Our dinner there was truly sumptuous Nice cosy modern but warm decor Love the blue porcelain touches and wood And they had English news channels If you need bedroom slippers you need to ask at reception Free flow coffee tea at all hours at the very cosy hotel lounge Our first 6 night stay was in a smallish room but on our returning 1 night stay after a week they gave us a much bigger room which was really spacious Wish it were the other way around as it made more sense spending 6 nights in a more comfortably bigger room
