I had a mixed experience at Hotel The Exchange. The unique room designs offered a quirky atmosphere that added some fun to my stay, though I faced issues with the room size and bathroom layout. The central location was perfect for exploring Amsterdam, with plenty of dining options nearby. However, I found the service to be inconsistent, which affected my overall satisfaction.

My stay at Hotel The Exchange was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences.
