 We had to ask for a price adjustment as they could only provide one room with a view if we hadn t we would have been charged for two rooms with a view The larger room which was over the Nieuwe Doelenstraat was perfect apart from the fact that in the recent refurb NH had not thought to put in double glazing the air con was good but even with the windows closed the street noise was somewhat disturbing On our last night the hotel received deliveries of linen at 02 00 which lasted for 30mins and sounded like someone was throwing steel crates around having got back to sleep we were woken again at 0530 by a delivery of consumables for the hotel again which went on for over 30 mins I rang reception and was told this was normal for the hotel to receive deliveries overnight I asked if they could stop the delivery but was told no On checking out we mentioned this again to be told that our and other complaints had been passed to management but no mention if management would do anything I suggested perhaps getting daytime deliveries or double glazing The noise problem for rooms with no view is something you should be aware of especially if you are a light sleeper as the road outside is rarely quiet 
 The hotel has been recently and expensively refurbished and the interior of the rooms ad the hotel is perfect and matched by the price to stay Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable of Amsterdam We booked two superior rooms with a view but apparently because we had asked for the rooms to be close to each other we were given one room with a view and another over the main street The room with a view overlooked the Amstel river and was very good if a little on the small side only about 15 18ins room between foot of the bed and the wall The bathrooms in both rooms were excellent the housekeeping was a bit hit and miss we ended up new towels every day The restaurant is a new concept it s basically a vegetarian restaurant with meat as a side dish if you want it We tried it despite by avowed carnivore tendencies and I was surprisingly pleased bith with the food and the service which was exceptional the vegetarian Shushi is a real surprise Breakfast was excellent both range and quality of food nd of the service at breakfast as was the service throughout the hotel
