The hotel is located right at the center of the city, accessible by tram, train and car. Shops, restaurants and cafes are right at the hotel location. It's walking distance to the Amsterdam Centraal Station and the canal cruise stations are just across the street. The room is clean and provided with amenities. The service is good with a special mention to Mario at the reception who is very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable.

It was located literally at the city centre. However, because of this. It was slightly noisy. Even up till 2am in the morning. Luggage storage was literally just at the lobby, we didnt feel safe having our bags left there so we rather pay and store them at central station.

Showers and washrooms outside the room. It is a dorm inside the city. Cheap and that is what you get for that price. In all honesty; the Amsterdam Marathon was on and all hotel prices were incredibly inflated. You go for cheap, you ride it out. Staff was great though

Tiniest room

The smallest room I’ve ever had to live in, so ridiculously small you could hardly turn around and there wasn’t even any room for us to put our suitcases so had to have them at the end of the bed and in the bathroom!!?? Awfully steep stairs and rude staff. Hardly any sleep as you could hear everything going on in the hotel. Only good thing is the location. For the price I paid I’d rather find a more expensive hotel and actually be able to move around in the room

I’ve stayed here multiple times over the years. The location is great and staff is nice but they really need to clean better. So much trash and debris and cigarette butts people have thrown out of the windows. Can’t beat the price at least

What a great older hotel! The staff was so kind to put us in a high floor room, which in itself was a fun adventure to get to! It was cozy and comfortable and so quiet! I slept better than I had our whole trip. Small room at a great price perfectly situated between the central train station and Dam square- a comfortable walk everywhere we wanted to go. Check in and check out were friendly and efficient!

The only reason we gave 2 stars for the “Staff” is because the cleaning ladies were accommodating and friendly, the rest of the staff were not like the front desk. This experience began with us trying to call and message the hotel to see if we can up pay for a premium room as it was our honey moon but never had a response nor did they ever answer the phone. When we arrived we were hoping for an early check in but didn’t have expect it honestly and were met with a late check in with no explanation (1 hour late)… Then when asking if we can potentially check out 1 hour later, we were met with an abrupt “NO”… How fair, right? We didn’t make a fuss. Then we had to lug out suitcases up 100+ extremely narrow stairs to arrive at the very top floor (we nicknamed the “Birds Nest”) and open the door to a room where I could almost touch all the walls standing on the bed (as it’s in the middle of the room) and I’m far from tall lol Anyway, to pay nearly 200€ for a hostel style room was not what we expected nor were led to believe, so we would not recommend this hotel to our enemy (well maybe).
