Fodor's Review:

This small, formal, and stylish town-house hotel offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with serene garden and restrained Art Nouveau stylings. Located in a trio of quaint 19th-century five-story town houses, its exterior is fitted out with wrought-iron balconies, cute gables, and the usual ugly roof extension. The interior decor is largely Wallpaper-modern -- tripod lamps, steel ashtrays, Knoll-ish chairs. Guest rooms can be on the snug side, and service and housekeeping leave a bit to be desired. The hotel is just one block away from the Museumplein and fashionable shopping streets; perhaps this explains its popularity with musicians in town who play the nearby Concertgebouw. There's a lovely little "relaxation" room with a tanning lounge, Turkish bath, and hot tub, and the hotel's trendy bar, Wines and Bites, serves high-quality wine along with snacks and lunches. Pros: leafy environs, modern rooms, proximity to museums. Cons: slightly unwelcoming entrance, can be hard to find.
