Excellent location, with in walking distance to all the major museums. Trams stop next to hotel as well. Short and nice walk to most beautiful are of town called Jordaan, or the bit more rugged but trendy De Pijp. And if you are at all used to walking places in a big city, also it walkable to the old city center De Wallen as well. Boat trips depart right next to the hotel as well. So location wise this place really has value to the money you pay. Place itself is now new and shiny, but still nice and not so outdated either. Clean, helpful, easy. Very happy with my stay. Paper walls as they say, but the crowd is mostly peoplenwho are past the party age so you mainly hear it when people move around the halls and it can be fixed with earplugs.
