I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Dwars, as it had a quirky charm with excellent decor and a great central location. However, the steep stairs can be quite a challenge for some, and the noise from the street might be a concern if you're looking for a peaceful night's sleep.

I had an amazing stay at Hotel Dwars during my honeymoon! The hotel had a charming boutique feel and was perfectly situated near shops and restaurants. The staff were exceptionally friendly and offered great local recommendations. Although the room was a bit small, it was well designed and very cozy. The only downside was having to climb the narrow Dutch stairs, especially since there is no elevator. But honestly, I loved it and didn't want to leave!

I had an amazing stay at Hotel Dwars! The staff went out of their way to make everything perfect, even decorating my room for my son's birthday. The location was fantastic for exploring, but I do wish there were breakfast options available right at the hotel. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I'd definitely return.

My room was compact yet super cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The big window let in lots of natural light, making it feel more spacious. However, the lack of a lift made lugging my bags up those tiny stairs a bit of a challenge.

The hotel's location was perfect – close to a tram line and within walking distance of all the cool spots I wanted to check out. It had a nice local vibe, which was a nice break from the touristy chaos. Just a short walk from the city center so I could jump right into exploring.

I had a mix of experiences at Hotel Dwars. On one hand, the location was perfect for exploring Amsterdam and the room was charming and clean. However, I faced serious issues with the internet and limited service from the staff. The narrow staircase was also a bit of a challenge, especially with heavy luggage.
