The room was nice and clean. The area where the building is located is really close to the centre of the city and there's a bike rental place just around the corner and many restaurants and cafes to go do the Amsterdam thing. There's no balcony or a smoking area in the room or the building. It's a good room to rest after doing some sight seeing, but not so much to chill and spend some time in there as there is no view or any outdoor area to sit and relax for a bit. Other than that if you just need a room to sleep is very quiet and you can get some good sleep.
