Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam Hotel

The hotel's location is excellent; it's within walking distance of the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. There's also a Lanzhou noodle restaurant and a small supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. If you opt out of daily room cleaning, you get a complimentary small drink, like a Coke or Fanta. Even without daily cleaning, you can still call to request fresh towels and other amenities. Breakfast on Sundays doesn't start until 8 AM.

This hotel pays great attention to small details: for example, the breakfast area provides ginger slices, tea, a microwave, fruit, and hot water for guests' convenience. The rooms also have electric kettles. The location is relatively convenient, and the room view facing the canal is nice. The front desk service is enthusiastic. However, the hygiene is a bit lacking: there's an odor in the hallway, and the bedside area hasn't been vacuumed in a while. Overall, the value for money isn't great, the bed isn't comfortable enough, and the duvet is too thin.

The hotel is located in the museum district, close to the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. Our room offered a canal view, but it wasn't in the most iconic canal-side neighborhood; for a true canal experience, I'd recommend staying in the Canal District. Housekeeping was a bit sloppy – food crumbs were still on the carpet when we returned to the room in the evening. It was a small area rug in the sofa section, so it seems they just didn't vacuum it during cleaning. The room was quite spacious, but the amenities were basic. There was no desk, luggage rack, or luggage stand, so our suitcases had to stay on the floor, which felt inconsistent with the over 3000 RMB price tag. Front desk service was mediocre. Before checking in, I had a duplicate booking for two nights that I had accidentally reserved twice. Since it was a cancellable booking, I contacted the hotel to modify it (reduce by two nights) before arrival, but they refused to cooperate. Ctrip intervened multiple times with no success. Eventually, Ctrip arranged with another supplier to resolve the issue. I will not choose this hotel again.

Great room, clean and comfortable, with canal views right outside the window. The location is perfect, right by the Museum Quarter. Just across the street, there's a residential area with some excellent restaurants. The only thing to note is that the bathtub is quite high, especially for Asian guests, so it's easy to slip and fall if you're not careful.
