Booked through DFDS, hotel is very central and is clean and comfortable, the rooms are small and basic but for its price range its good. Downside is very long check in queues but staff speak english and you can check in early and leave luggage for pick up later. Would stay here again as when visiting a city , you are their to see city not spend all day in a hotel room. For a bughet hotel it is well worth the money.

Stayed here for one night in early March. Hotel is average Ibis hotel but during the renovation the bar/restaurant are closed and it's VERY noisy during the day.

You get a free mug of sweets but still pay full price!

Location good. Staff polite and friendly.

Avoid until the refurbs are done.

When I visited it was under renovation and expansion so there where some problems related to that. This renovation is going to carry on all the way through May 2008 as the front desk informed.
The problems related to that were:
1. Breakfast was served on each floor in the elevator waiting area, which meant that there were only beverages, bread butter and marmalade.
2. Construction work started at 07:00 so if your not an early bird you will be disturbed.

Other then that, the location is great as far as connectivity is concerned and it is in the center. It is quite noisy so the window should remain closed. All staff were polite and helpful. The rooms were not that clean as I found used soap in the shower from a previous customer so I was concerned about bathroom cleanliness.
The furniture was newly renovated, but the pillows were so big and bouncy it was annoying. The TV had terrible reception so you couldn't really enjoy anything.

The rest of the hotel area was not renovated (old carpet and lighting fixtures) so I am not sure if it was in the schedule to be done or not.

Seemed convenient, but in the start of renovation. Dinning room closed, breakfast is a bread roll and jam provided at the end of a corridor.
Hammering on the concrete starts at 6:30 am.
Was asked for a 50euro deposit on the room in case I stole anything (says something about the quality of clientel)
Tiny room, far better hotels available than this available in Amsterdam for same price
