Acceptable Location, Some Disappointing Room Issues

low ceiling worn-out room
The hotel is located conveniently, a plus.
The room I was assigned had some issues. The shower had a very low ceiling. It felt a bit cramped. The room looked quite worn out. The walls needed painting.

Charming Getaway Near Vondelpark

quiet location airport proximity museum access bungalow style
Our quadruple room was located in a bungalow behind the main building. The location was quiet and peaceful, really perfect for a relaxed stay. The bus to and from the airport was only a short walk away, which greatly simplified our arrival and departure. I appreciated the close proximity to various museums.
I noticed the Wi-Fi signal was sometimes a bit weak, made video calls difficult.

The front desk staff were helpful at all times. The location is very convenient to the park, museums and several restaurants. The hotel also features a very nice backyard garden.
The room was not as good as advertised. The bathroom showed clear signs of not being thoroughly cleaned with hairs on the floor. Noise proofing is poor. I heard noise from other residents very late at night and early in the morning.
