 Road works outside the hotel prevented easy access by taxi 
 We visited Amsterdam for a family event on the city outskirts but my wife and I decided to stay an extra night in the centre The hotel is not completely central but so close as makes no difference due to the existence of the tram line A cheap one hour ticket gets you into the very centre in just a few minutes And it is right next to a hop on hop off canal boat service Internally the hotel is very clean and well maintained The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room was a good size very clean and the bed was exceptionally comfortable We will definitely look it up when next in Amsterdam
