Beautiful building and inside yard, apartment also very pretty, everything required was there
As we so in other reviews - windows, you cant easily close/open them
Doors between buildings, its a funny one, but with a stroller, as we lived in clock building we had to go through 3 inside doors some were pretty heavy

The apartment was spacious and very clean. Near to tram stop.
I thought I had booked an apartment with a washing machine. However it was a pay machine which was difficult to download in a community laundry area. Staff not that helpful.

Location was excellent, very convenient yet quiet.
The bedroom had an unpleasant foul smell, like milk that went bad. They can only offer to spread some air freshener which would have been very temporary. We bought some scented candles to cover up the smell.

Staff and the fact they put is in a studio with window to other room, and we stayed for a month!

The apartment had no air conditioning, and most windows could not be opened. The few that did open only opened a few centimetres, leaving the apartment uncomfortably hot throughout our stay.
Housekeeping is provided only once a week, something Wittenberg presents at check-in as though it were entirely standard. While that may be acceptable in Amsterdam, it falls well below expectations for many international travellers, particularly given the premium rates charged.
At check-out, the receptionist—hood up, appearing thoroughly disinterested—asked how our stay had been. When I replied, "It was OK," in a tone that clearly signalled I had reservations and invited a follow-up question, she simply laughed dismissively, said, "Oh, OK," shrugged, and moved on. It summed up the gap between the premium price and the overall guest experience.

Location and size of the apartment
Small beds, no space in the bathroom to hang towels, no decent closet space, had to use a desk and ironing board for clothes. Weekly cleaning was useless. They didn’t vacuum clean ( if they did, it didn’t look like it), they left our dirty towels, they removed the dirty towels of the kids but didn’t replace with clean ones. They only changed the sheets on one of the 2 beds. They didn’t clean the kitchen. Upon arrival to the room on day one I killed a cockroach.

Property is conveniently located to many major sites, restaurants, and stores. Apartment buildings as roomy.
It was very warm during our stay, and only a few windows in the apartment could be opened, which made it very hard for the rooms to cool down in the evenings. Pillows were comfortable, but the beds were not. Television was very dark, but settings were not functional to allow us to brighten it.

Great location.
The gym had the essentials.
Comfortable bed.
Not enough air flow in the room. Very stuffy even when temperatures cooled down. We had the portable fan running the entire 2 weeks.

The size and the condition; washer & dryer in the apartment.
Lack of hangers in the bath room and hand towels in the kitchen.

We stayed at the Wittenberg by Cove for 8 nights in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with kitchen facilities, including a washer dryer combo.
The location was very nice – we appreciated how quiet and peaceful it felt while still being conveniently located near restaurants, cafés, museums, and public transportation.
Overall, it was a comfortable stay and a good option for a long visit, particularly if you prefer apartment-style accommodation over a traditional hotel.
Also, a special acknowledgement to the housekeeping super attendant Elvis, who was extremely welcoming upon our arrival and helping us to settle into our apartment.
While the kitchen was convenient for light use, it was not fully equipped with enough dishes and glassware for 4 adults. Also, the pots and pans showed noticeable signs of wear and would benefit from being replaced.

No Breakfast at facility
We were set in the room with basement, that we particularly asked not to be placed!!
Our friends, who traveled with us had to move and change their room 3 (Three) times during 6 day stay

The room was a good size with all the basics you need in the kitchen and bath. The room was clean and the staff was helpful. Everything was good, but not exceptional in any way. The area felt safe and was quiet even on King's Day. Access to public transit was reasonably close (5 minute walk to most of the key tram lines and a metro). If you want to go to the zoo or the botanical gardens they are very close.
We traded off price for centrality with this hotel and it did make a difference. You had to walk an additional 10+ minutes to get to the action which did add up over the week we stayed in Amsterdam. Also, we were in the furthest section of the hotel which meant walking through two courtyards every time you went to your room. This was a bit of a pain. Finally, you could also hear the people walking around upstairs.

Beautiful location next to a canal and close to public transportation and also various attractions. Walkable to the center for some people. Staff on hand to answer questions, replace towels, etc.
A little spartan as to the kitchen and beds, for the price paid. Our unit became very hot and no A/C available, but we figured out this was due to solar gain and made sure we kept the windows covered when we were out for the day.
No major complaints, other than the 21% national VAT on lodging and the surprise additional 12% city tax on lodging. The latter was collected upon check-in which we weren’t expecting. The ownership can’t control the tax rates, but ownership or Booking.com should be required to more clearly disclose the additional 12% tax required to be paid upon arrival. After paying all the taxes, this stay was vastly more expensive than our roomier apartment in London (across the street from Buckingham Palace) last summer.

It’s a great location near the University, trams and grocery store.
Description of accommodation not accurate. Description stated a king size bed. Separate page description stated a queen size bed. Bed is actually two twins pushed together. Some of the furniture was stained.

The location, the amenities in the apartment and ability to rent bikes from the Wittenberg was wonderful. The apartment was spacious
The rooms initially weren't very clean - there was hair on the counters and in the shower, the couch had a stain, the tables were sticky. We had to ask 3 times before there was a proper cleaning, but the staff did ultimately rectify the situation. The only other problem is that the kitchen sink was backing up from someone else's apartment. We asked multiple times for someone to come look at it and no one came. We didn't need the sink that much, so it wasn't a big deal, but we didn't feel like asking multiple times was not ideal if we had needed the sink.
