Charming Stay Near Vondelpark

I appreciate the excellent breakfast. Vegan options were clearly labeled, I safely ate the bread despite a dairy allergy. The mushrooms and grilled tomatoes stood out. The staff were also quite helpful, the hotel changed my room after an incorrect bed layout. The new room have all standard amenities and toiletries.
The minibar fill completely with drinks. There isn't any space left for my personal use.
