Leonardo Boutique Museumhotel
Bathroom was tiny and room was cold with no way to set the heat. It was also noisy. And had to pull my luggage through 3 doors to get to my room. On the upside, it was clean and everything worked well. Bed was comfortable. And a great location.

De Bedstee Boutique Capsules
Not the cleanest place I've stayed in. Feels like a hostel too as you can hear your neighbors loud and clear. The location is great though to my taste and staff members are very nice.
