  : Loved the coziness of the room and the location. I also loved the dog that met us upon arrival.
  : The door handles were hard to unlock. Not the code but turning and entering.

  : Location, size, layout, convenience, well-appointed
  : Street Entry pad needs to be replaced;there was no advance notice on the reservation of the two flights of stairs to get to the suite (more challenging for seniors); received no ADVANCE notification of how to enter the property (we were expecting a Hotel with a reception) so this was surprising upon arrival. Bathroom has no windows and needs more lighting.

  : We stayed in the Studio Runstraat Suite and it was incredibly spacious. It is located on the first floor (there are no ground floor rooms) and is simply and nicely decorated with a great bathroom as well. The hotel is in a very beautiful location surrounded by shops, cafes, restaurants, canals and is a 5 minute walk to the Anne Frank House and tram stops and is around a 15 minute walk to the main train station (Amsterdam Centraal) and the red light district. The rooms are tidied up each day which was very nice. We met one of the owners and her doggy and they were both absolutely lovely.
  : * The safe in our room was locked by a previous guest and it took 2 days before the owner replaced the safe with one from another room. * The keypad doorlocks were a nightmare. While I got the hang of opening the door to the building, I never got the hang of opening the room door (Studio Runstraat Suite) and my friend had to open it for me every time. * There is no elevator and the stairs are directly in front of the building entrance door and are steep and narrow so you have to be very careful walking up and down them. Taking suitcases up the stairs is very difficult and you will need someone capable of lifting them. Some of the other rooms are up 2 flights of stairs. We met some other guests staying there and they had the same issues with the doorlocks and stairs, however, I still recommend the hotel.

  : Roomy, clean in a nice area
  : Finding the place and getting a code to enter. No correspondence from the owner/company ahead of time to even warn or tell that you need a code to enter. Upon arrival after an 18hour flight, I was unable to enter. Google helped to find a number to call (after calling Booking.coms offices and asking a number without success), and I was given the code. Not acceptable. I have sent 3x messages ahead of time to ask for an early check in which was not possible and I do understand that! I just mean that due to correspondence between us, there was enough time to alert me on what to expect and even to send the code.
