I had a mixed experience at Max Brown Hotel Museum Square. The location was absolutely fantastic, with easy access to major museums and beautiful canals. However, the room I stayed in was pretty cramped and not as clean as I would have liked, while the breakfast options were somewhat basic and lacked variety. I appreciated the friendly staff, but there were moments where the service could have been more efficient. Overall, I enjoyed my time in Amsterdam but wouldn't say the hotel entirely met my expectations.
