Decent Stay near Museums

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is close to the Moco Museum and the Van Gogh Museum. A tram stop nearby offers easy access to other parts of the city. The staff I encountered were all helpful and friendly. They gave useful advice for my journey to the airport.
My room did not have air conditioning. The weather was warm and this. The lack of refrigeration in the room made it difficult to keep water cool.
