The hotel itself is in a very nice residential area on the outskirts of Amsterdam's centre. It is only a few minutes tram ride into the main area though, and the tram stop is only a very short walk away from the hotel. I found it all very quick and easy to get in using trams and really liked the quiet location to come back to at the end of the day.
Check-in was friendly and efficient and I was pleased to be given the Whirlpool Suite that I had on standby. It was located in an annex building right alongside the main building and for European standards it was very large with a huge bathroom.
As you will see in the picture there was a lounging area at the back of the room, with a swivel TV in the middle. There was also a desk and a Nespresso coffee machine. It all felt very spacious and there was plenty of cupboard space as well, and the all important electronic safe.
There were also 2 large sinks as well as the toilet and also a bidet.
The only downside for me was the shower being attached to the wall in the bath area as I always prefer a separate walk-in shower, and they certainly had the space in this bathroom to accommodate it.
The breakfast room was served on the lower floor of the main room and it was a buffet featuring plenty of continental choices, along with eggs, beans, mushrooms, sausages and mini pancakes. It was all replenished often and there were also juices and a coffee machine that you could help yourself to.
Overall, for the price I paid it was an absolute bargain. Even if you do not stay here, I would thoroughly recommend visiting Amsterdam as there is plenty to see and do. Do not forget to try out the famous Fries from Vleminckx Sausmeesters. Here's some I had topped with Mayo and Satay sauce:
