Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a private pod or room if shared dormitories and bathrooms are not suitable for your stay.

  • 02

    Plan to use the Prinsengracht tram stop (lines 2, 12, 17) for easy access to Central Station and museums.

  • 03

    Factor in the steep stairs with no elevator; this property is less suitable for those with mobility concerns or heavy luggage.

  • 04

    Confirm breakfast availability at booking, as options may vary; the free coffee and tea are available daily.
