Nice clean room, friendly staff. One minus point, there is no outside covered area for the smokers. I know they are a dying breed but to pretend they don’t exist is not cool.

Utrecht is the perfect alternative (and base in The Netherlands) to Amsterdam - which is so heavily run-over with tourists - you still get to enjoy the canals & get a feel for the local culture in a much more laid back city.
