Het Ij

The only minus of this property is elevators , they take forever , even though there are 3 of them .

Beautiful well maintained historic hotel near Amsterdam Centraal. Small but nice room with a very tall ceiling and a canal view. Large well appointed bathroom with double sinks, seperate bath and shower, and an actual hinged well-sealed shower door. What was a little off is that the hinged non-latching door to the bathroom was beautiful frosted glass with a clear (non-frosted) anchor design at eye level. This means that anybody standing outside the closed bathroom door could see somebody bathing or using the toilet. The room had a coffee maker and hot water heater with complimentary coffee and tea. Robes and slippers were provided and there was an iron, ironing board, safe, and refrigerator if you removed their mini-bar waters and Cokes. There was no complimentary daily bottled waters, unlike mostvof my other less expensive hotels on this trip. The bed was awful. The worst on my long 51-day trip. It had a king sized headboard but was made of two matresses with a huge canyon between. It had two unsecured matress pads that moved during sleep. The bottom sheet wasn't fitted and always quickly came loose. The bedding looked like it exploded every morning.

Great stay. Donny is the best.
