The entire hotel is painted in dark colors, which create a gloomy feeling. The paint in the rooms, moreover, has gaps in some areas, giving it a shabby feeling. Terrible door lock system. Indifferent and indolent staff who show rudeness to women. The hotel is not centrally located, which is not in and of itself a problem. It is a block from the Artis tram stop and so easy to get to the center. Quite near the Amstel, with lovely views nearby.
