 Though the size of the room was quiet fair but i didnt like the setting of the bathroom It didnt seem to be modern and i felt the cleaning wasn t proper though i do not mean to say that the room or bathrooms were dirty The bathroom fittings and towels were dated and not as per the standard as expected The carpets in the rooms and outside were not upto the standard as expected The wallpaper makes the room look over the top but at the same time did not give a feeling of a five star hotel but instead of a boarding house The temperature of the room was bit high for my liking and it couldnt be controlled from the controller as it had zero effect of the temperature of the room and fortunately i had a room with huge windows and i kept them open for cool breeze and fresh air The hotels had in stock much less umbrellas as required for the guests The weather at Amsterdam is unpredictable 
 The location of the hotel is near Grand Station and service and staff are quiet helpful and polite It is a popular hotel due to its location and rooms as offered Though it is sort of a labyrinth as it appears to an old some sort of public exchange building now converted into a hotel but the building in itself is nice Though it is in centre but it is located at one corner and you need to walk a bit to reach major attractions but walking in itself a pleasure and every road every corner has a story of its own The rooms are fairly large and comfortable bedding My room had an excellent view though i wouldn t say the same for my friends who got a separate room So would suggest that a room with a view of side canal be preferred and be requested at the time of booking itself The hotel is quiet packed and we were unable to seek any accommodation for early check in as we arrived quiet early in the day and we deposited our luggage and came back after touring the city for a while we preferred to eat outside as Amsterdam has lovely cafes spread all over The minibar was quiet exhaustive and included in our price and was a welcome addition
