I was looking for something affordable and close to the Museumplein for me and my boyfriend to spend the night in. Hotel Abba surprised me with how close it really was to it! It was my first time renting an airbnb by myself so I was quite nervous, but the check in went very smoothly and every staff member I met was polite and welcoming :). Overall, for the money we paid, we got exactly what we expected, the breakfast was nice and the room generally clean, although some of the walls needed repainting. Our only real disappointment was when we tried to watch a movie but the wifi turned out to be too weak to load any site, so we had to stick to our data plan. There was also a situation where the smell of weed filled our room for some reason, although smoking was prohibited in the building, but maybe that came from the outside, and it went away after a few minutes so it wasn't really a problem. The street next to which the hotel is located is very noisy, so expect to close your windows at night. There is a fan though, so it shouldn't get too hot :). Overall, it was a great find and we're satisfied with our stay, thanks Hotel Abba!
