I did mention another thread, i stayed there recently, room was OK, but not 5 star IMHO

My bid was $90 for a 5 star, just finishing my stay at the hotel (4 nights) You need a tram pass, its 15 euro for a 72 hour pass unlimited travel, taxi is the only option for coming home, the night bus is very infrequent , 12 euro's from Lidesplein by taxi. Yes the hotel is in a quiet location, but with the lack of any pool or recreational facilities i would not rate it 5 star. Internet at 22 euro for 24 hours is expensive, lots of hotels now have it as a free service. I did not try the restaurant, but it looked busy at night, staff at checkin were friendly and offered an upgrade to jacuzzi room for 25 euro, which i did not take. Final thought, in the summer it might be pleasant to walk around from the hotel to the city center, but not when its -2, especially at night, being a nightowl i would not want to stay here again due to location

Thanks for the info, i will make a report next week when im back, also i will get a 72 hour tram pass.

I just won this hotel for 02/19 for 4 nights, I'm not happy at all with the location, its well out of the city center , and as you mentioned about the decor, lots of reviewers rate it as a 4 star only, take a look at Google street view, its in the suburbs. I'm seriously thinking of taking a hit on the money and book somewhere else, it will cost a lot on taxi's to get anywhere specially coming home at night. Paid the same though the PRICELINE link, and thanks for all the great info on this site
