The dedication of the staff to creating a welcoming atmosphere stood out, and the breakfast setup clearly surpasses standard continental fare. Though cabins are compact- a detail to consider when traveling with ample luggage-the overall ambiance and thoughtful touches make this a memorable Amsterdam stay.”
