I had a mix of experiences during my stay at The College Hotel Amsterdam. The location was fantastic, being right by a tram stop and within walking distance of major attractions. However, my room could have been brighter and had a few maintenance issues. Staff attitudes varied, with some being very helpful while others seemed indifferent. Overall, I would consider returning for the charming ambiance and great breakfast, but some aspects need improving.
