However, there was a resin clock theme center piece that was broken, a small downside amidst the beauty. The service was top-notch, with staff that were so lovely and accommodating. The location was excellent, with easy walking to many attractions and a stunning view of the canal. The dining experience was lovely and peaceful in the morning, offering a delicious cappuccino and a satisfying breakfast spread. Overall, a fantastic hotel with a few minor hiccups.

The dining experience, while good, had some room for improvement. Overall, a unique and memorable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a slight issue with odours from the drains due to heavy rain, but the fantastic canal views made up for it. The modern bathroom and ample sockets were a great touch, and the room was beautifully curated to perfection.
Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms had some quirky and beautifully crafted details, but the evening noise from the Tales & Spirits pub downstairs could be a bit bothersome.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was great, being a short walk from the main station and close to various amenities and restaurants in Amsterdam. The rooms, although small and quirky with stairs inside, were equipped with necessary amenities and even provided earplugs for the noisy surroundings. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff that went out of their way to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. The dining experience was superb, offering simple but delicious meals with personalized touches. However, the noise levels on Saturday night could be a bit bothersome, and the preservation of the building, while charming, meant some inconveniences like climbing to the bathroom.
