As with many two-star Amsterdam hotels, you have to ascend a steep set of stairs to reach reception, but once inside you probably won’t be disappointed. Each of its nine rooms is slightly different, but as a general rule the budget rooms are smaller and share toilets and showers out in the corridor, while the deluxe rooms are a bit bigger and have a few added amenities like private bathrooms. All rooms include TV, phone, hair dryer, small refrigerator and safe. Although not exactly fashionable, the accommodation here has a bit of old world elegance and breakfast is served in the cosy reception area whose main attraction is an electric faux fireplace. Unfortunately, one of the rooms we visited smelled a bit musty, but that appeared to be a fluke.
