On the plus side, the hotels location must definitely be mentioned, which is 10/10 - at the end of the Herengracht, which in my eyes is the most beautiful street/canal in Amsterdam. In addition, of course, there are quite a few tourists, canal cruises, etc., so the sound level is also accordingly. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The first night I got a room which was right next to the reception/bar which is open 24/7, which also resulted in a lot of noise and a sleepless night. The next day I asked for a new room, which I quickly got without discussion - but no compensation for the first night. In addition, it must be said that the hotel is located in an old town house, so it is noisy, very noisy (!) and you can hear everything - conversations, snoring and people enjoying themselves. So if you are looking for a hotel without too much noise, I would suggest another one. But apart from this, Max Brown is a cozy hotel, with friendly staff and a 10/10 location.
