The hotel location suited me very well. the staff was friendly. Check-in occurred very easily. i even received a little welcome treat, a nice gesture. the breakfast included plant-based milk and yogurt options. a vegan croissant. the building has a nice vibe and the lobby looks amazing. it is close to the ferry, which takes you to the centraal station quickly.
Sometimes, i had to wait for a couple of them to pass before i could get in.
