Location couldn't be better! A few minutes walk from Centraal train station, Metro, and Tram. As it is directly along the main corridor, there is street noise from pedestrians, vehicles, and rumbling of trams. It didn't bother us at all though, just a caution for those travelers who need quiet.
Location is surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops, small supermarkets, and stores. You walk out of the hotel directly into the energy of the city.
It is not handicapped-friendly, only stairs (no lift observed).
