Staying at this hotel was a top-notch experience overall. The rooms overlook the charming canal and are incredibly spacious, complete with a cozy sitting area and the comfiest bed I've ever slept in. The service was beyond amazing, with a touch of that 'Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast' kindness. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Amsterdam yet remarkably peaceful. The dining was a mix of delightful and slight letdowns. However, the facilities were pristine, offering a memorable stay on a beautiful canal.
