Pull up a chair for lunch or dinner.
Meals at this hotel exceeded most expectations. With the exception of a breakfast that left a bit to be desired, guests felt that this hotel's strong point was in the delicious preparation of local specialities.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Far from the action.
Guests hoping to save some money by staying outside of Amsterdam were often let down. Transportation wasn't easily accessible on foot, and some guests found out the hard way that bus schedules were erratic or weren't running at all, especially on weekends. Taxis into the city were expensive, and an added hit to the wallet was the extra fee for parking both bikes and cars.
negative:
Disappointing breakfast.
While included in the cost of the room, guests would have rather passed on the lacklustre breakfast. Only early birds were assured a good selection, and many found that breakfast shut down quickly. Items weren't always restocked, and guests were sometimes left with empty stomachs.
negative:
Unhelpful staff.
While many guests had uneventful stays, some had unpleasant interactions with hotel staff. Customer service in general was found to be lacking, and staff didn't seem overly interested in ensuring a great visit for guests. Some gave hotel staff points for speaking English, but otherwise felt that staff needed to brush up on their customer service skills.
