Fun areas around it, close to the metro, clean, cool views from out the window. A fan in the room would have been helpful and some barrier around the shower so the entire bathroom didn't get completely soaked with each use. People complained about the steep stairs, but we saw them as a fun challenge.

Dirty Rooms

This hotel was not very clean. Room had mold on the ceiling. The shower didn’t drain and it over flowed onto the bathroom floor. Hotel was one of the cheaper ones in Amsterdam, but I would still consider very poor quality for the price. As it was still over $300 a night. The staff was very lovely and helpful.

Not a hotel we would recommend. The room Was located in the basement, a pretty dark and humid room With only one Window which Was Right out to the pavement, so you couldnt actually open it unless you wanted to see People’s feet walking by and it also felt a bit unsafe, people standing drinking and stuff Right outside where you slept. A lot of nosse during the Night from both hotel guests and people outside. Not the cleanest place and the staff seemed to be very little interested in service to the guests. I dont understand why this hotel has three stars.

Overall, I recommend this hotel. Like many others, I picked this hotel based on reviews so I want to provide one. It’s located in a safe and relatively quiet area of Amsterdam very close to the Heineken brewery and Rijktmuseum. It’s about a 35-40 minute walk from the train station so we took an Uber since it was raining when we arrived. I liked the location because Amsterdam is a small city and we could easily walk or tram to places. The staff is very friendly and helped us with our luggage (see why below) and allowed us to leave our bags after checkout as we went out for brunch and to the Rijkt. I gave this hotel 4/5 stars in a few areas. First, while my kids and I found this charming you should know the stairs to the levels with rooms are very steep and there’s no elevator. We had a small suitcase which they brought up for us but if you’re traveling with large and heavy suitcases this could be a problem. Also, our room was small They tend to be smaller in Europe and that’s fine but we were 3 so if we had large suitcases it would have been tight. Finally the room was clean and had fresh linens and towels but I gave a 4/5 for cleanliness given its age and overall condition So I do recommend this hotel but you should know about the stairs and room size.

Hotellet minder mest om et vandrehjem. Personalet er meget imødekommende. Lobbyen er slidt og hipsteragtig. Ingen elevator, meget stejl trappe op. Værelserne rene og med udmærkede senge. Der er lydt! Vi savnede morgenmad og køleskab på værelset. Men man kan hente kaffe fra en maskine i receptionen. Det er langt fra luksus. Men det fungerer.

Okay hotel - tæt på byen og alligevel så langt væk, at vi undgik støjen fra byen. Man skal være obs på, der ikke er elevator og trappen op er meget stejl. Pak let, så går det. Ikke velegnet til gangbesværet. Kaffe og te i receptionsområdet.

Die Gegend ist ruhig & das Zentrum ist zu Fuss vom Hotel her gut erreichbar. Dafür haben wir nur wenig bezahlt. Allerdings war das Zimmer unglaublich klein. Wir konnten nicht mal ums Bett laufen & es hatte nicht mal ein Schrank. Mehr als zwei Tage hätten wir nicht ausgehalten. Die Treppe ist sehr steil & schmal, einen Lift gibt es nicht. Das sollte man wissen, viele Leute (ältere Personen, sehr grosse Personen, Personen mit einer körperlichen Einschränkung,…) hätten keine Chance zum Zimmer zu gelangen. Soso - lala, würde es nicht wieder buchen.

Tolle Lage, günstiger Preis und nettes Personal

Für einen günstigen Preis bekommt man ein großes, sauberes und komfortables Zimmer. Das Bad weist ebenfalls keine Mängel auf. Das beste aber ist der Frühstück, der im Preis inbegriffen ist. Durch Corona-Maßnahmen wird es gut getimed, wer wann am besten in den Essraum kommen sollte und dann gibt es genug Vielfalt für jeden, sodass man gut satt wird. Würde auf jeden Fall wieder buchen, da es bis zum Zentrum kein weiter weg ist und man in der Gegend nicht von lauten Geräuschen gestört wird.

Нормальный вариант для дружной компании

Хорошее расположение рядом с остановками трамваев и метро. Относительно неплохое состояние для центра. Традиционный лёгкий завтрак - тослы, джем, ветчина, сыр. Мне достался 5 местный номер на одного! Вот если бы путешествовать компанией - оптимально.
