 At reception upon checking in there were a lot of attempts made by the front desk to upsell us in terms of a different room breakfast all of which were ridiculously overpriced and terrible value for money at a time we were far too tired from the journey to want to have such discussions I understand what I paid for as the booking com website lays things out very clearly I don t want to have to rehash my decisions when checking in The location if you don t have business with the pier is extremely plain boring it s in a fine part of town but if you re travelling to Amsterdam just to see the city itself I wouldn t stay down this end this area feels like Amsterdam s loading docks 
 We travelled to Amsterdam to meet with family who were docked at the pier so this was a really good location for that The room had everything we needed and was warm comfortable and clean The concierge helped us greatly with regard to navigating the city on the first day we ventured out and sold us tickets for the Van Gogh museum as well which we found extremely helpful
