The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Amsterdam, walking distance to many attractions and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms are clean, but on the small side, and have all the essentials. The service was friendly and accommodating, making me feel at home during my stay. The location is excellent, close to public transport and key landmarks. The dining options were limited but satisfactory. Overall, a good value for the price paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, maintaining the horse theme throughout. However, some rooms lacked windows to open, resulting in a very hot environment with small beds. On the other hand, some rooms were cold with heating issues.

The dining options were limited but acceptable. As a vegan, I found choices to be basic and quite restricted. The staff was slow in clearing tables and restocking the buffet, which could make dining somewhat challenging, especially during busy times.

The hotel offered basic facilities, nothing extraordinary. The choice was adequate and decent, but not exceptional in any way.

The hotel's location is great, close to various attractions and with good transportation connections. The rooms, though clean and with necessary amenities, were small for a group of four. The staff was helpful, ensuring a smooth experience during my stay. The dining options were good overall, despite some inconsistencies. The facilities provided were satisfactory, if not overly impressive.

My stay at the Iron Horse hotel had its ups and downs. The lack of a mirror in the room made getting ready a bit awkward, but the communication was top-notch. The room size was on the smaller side, though.

I stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The room with four twin beds was spacious but had some cleanliness issues like old bird feces on the window and spiders. The broken safe and wardrobe door didn't make me feel secure either. On the bright side, the view of the rental bikes and bins was interesting.
