I'm afraid that yet again my stay was ruined by a group of out of control kids playing football in the room above until 3 am while their adults drank in the bar. Each time I have stayed with you similar things have happened. No member if staff was around or answered the bell. I then had a long cycle with my kids and we were too tired to enjoy Amsterdam. I won't be coming back as clearly there is a problem with the management here.
