In order to fairly review this hotel, i have to set the level of expectation of the perspective traveler(s).
First, Amsterdam is expensive during the high season, so keep that in mind. Of you have the money to stay in a nice place, by al means, do it. If you are a student traveler backing around Europe, this hotel will probably feel like a Four Seasons. If you are on a budget and want a mix of location and price, this hotel may work for you.
What to expect if you book this hotel. The staff was great. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. The helped us with all of our questions and stored our luggage after we checked out. The next thing to expect is that there isn’t an elevator and the stairs are very steep and narrow. This is not the hotel for you if you have strength or mobility issues. Many buildings in Amsterdam are constructed this way (for a reason) so only the big hotels are likely to have an elevator.
The rooms are small and the bathrooms are smaller. But, it was super convenient being able to brush my teeth and shave with a sink inside the shower!! The bed was comfortable but because the room didn’t have A/C, it was noisy because the windows were open.
If you are a traveler that goes to a city to explore and experience, and you just need a clean bed and hot shower after being out all day and night, this is a good option. It was in a great location for walking to all of the sites. If you need to be spoiled and pampered, look elsewhere.
