We are a senior couple from the US and this is our first time visiting Amsterdam, staying 4 nights at this hotel. We paid extra to have room with a view to the canal. Highlights of the hotel include a quick check-in, good breakfast and easy walkable distances to restaurants and museums. Hotel staff is available and helpful. We are a bit disappointed with the room without a refrigerator, an awkward bathroom door blocking access to the entrance door, no body lotion provision and confusing house cleaning schedule and option.
