We have just stayed at this hotel for the second time, and enjoyed our stay just as much as we did the first time we stayed there when we visited Asterdam in 2010. Some of the rooms are quite small, but we have found them quite comfortable on each occasion, and since we were only there for three nights, the hotel was just a base, so this didn't matter too much. The overall standard of cleanliness was very good, and had we not found a small piece off rubbish left under the bed by a previous occupant, we would have rated this hotel as excellent for it's cleanliness. One comment that i would make as to the facilities in our room is that the tea and coffee making facilities are a bit sparce. Two teabags and two coffee sachets per day seems somewhat meagre, (but then maybe that's because we are british and we like our tea!). Once again, we found the staff very pleasant, helpful and friendly. The location is great for public transport should visitors choose to use it, but as we prefer to get around on foot, the location really is ideal as you can easily walk to all the places you may wish to visit, whilst fully enjoying the surroundings and atmosphere. I was sorry to read the managers statement on a previous review announcing that smoking rooms will no longer be available from January 2013, however, i am sure that this will be good news for non-smokers. Overall i would not hessitate to recommend this hotel to others, and i would happily use it again myself.
