Loved by Hotel Sphinx guests
"Got left alone. Only got room cleaned if you asked (or clean towels ect) and had a safe."
"The location of the hotel is perfect, close to so many touristic places, close to tram and metro stations and lot of facilities and restaurants are around."
"Rooms were spacious and clean, lots of facilities, big windows to overlook the city, comfortable beds"
"Proximity to public transportation is great. Within walking distance to lots of shops."
"The strongest feature of the hotel is without doubt its excellent position, very close to Leidseplein, the Museum Quarter, and the city centre."

great locationeasy accessconvenient storenarrow stairsunclean roomslow drain
the location was great. i could easily walk to many attractions (i really enjoyed the heineken museum nearby). it was also nice that a convenience store was so close. the central station was just two metro stops away, so i didn't need a taxi.
the stairs were quite narrow. it was difficult to carry my luggage up and down (i could have asked for assistance). also, the room wasn't very clean, particularly the bathroom. the drain in the bathroom was slow, so i couldn't use the shower for long.
