+ Decent sized room for 4 people. Tiny foyer but decent. Decent location close to the Damrak and red light district. Reasonable price. Suitable for backpacking types and those on a budget.
- VERY HOT. This is common with these types of European hotels in the summer but in this case you cannot properly open the windows for ventilation and they do not have circulation fans. We borrowed a laughable 6 inch fan from the front desk for a 4-person room. Small bathroom. Questionable cleanliness of linen.

+ The hotel was in a fantastic prime location, practically next door to Dam Square.
- The only minus was the number of stairs and no lifts.
