Without sounding awful there was nowhere to go in an evening without feeling like an outsider as the are seemed very Muslim with shisha bars and halal places.

Great place to stay
We were family of 5 2 adults and 3 kids so we took big 5 bed room 4 bunker bed and 1 queen bed. Room was great it was spacious and clean. 2 bathrooms 1 with shower and sink 1 with sink and toilet which was very useful. They had a indoor play place which was excellent for kids. My kids had fun! Eiffel tower was walking distance and you can see the tower from the hotel as well. What i didn't like about the hotel was I left my stroller at the hotel and they couldn't locate it. Otherwise it was a great hotel.

Disappointing
Check in great. Friendly reception staff for duration.
Floor wet in room outside of bathroom on arrival.
Unclean toilet seat which was not cleaned for the duration.
The hot foot at breakfast was cold and did not taste good.
Towel changing sign confusing. We put the large towels on the floor to be changed but were only given hand towels back so had to ask reception for them.
Poor tv channel selection.

It’s very close to two tram lines so you can get to the center of Amsterdam in aprox 30 minutes. However the walls in the room were dirty, the mattress is old and the comforter had hairs when we got there. Will try somewhere else next time.

First night in the room was good, was clean and in a good location. Was not happy when on 2 of the days we was woken up by very loud drilling above our room that went on for hours, with no warning there would be any kind of work done. No consideration for the comfort of paying guests I believe no one should’ve been booked into any of the rooms around that area so was overall disappointed.
