Good experience
Nice, helpful employees. Perfect for our one night stay before our cruise. Easy to find, middle of everything and very close to the port and train station.

The hotel is very well located although the front desk clears was a bit unwelcoming. The room we choose was a the cheapest one since we were just staying 1 night, no windows, felt dirty and it smelled a lot of cigarettes and weed. Although it is not allowed to smoked, it felt like they did inside this room , considering the no window part. The check in was rough, gave us no information so we didn’t know if they served breakfast or not.

Great location and clean hotel.
The location was lovely, and not particularly noisy despite being very central. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable, the air conditioning and the internet worked fine. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful. The main drawbacks: the water pressure in the shower was quite weak. Also: couldn't guarantee a twin bed until we actually arrived there.

Clean room. Friendly reception. Breakfast served in the bar next door was reasonable. Great location for exploring Amsterdam - and close to the Central Station. For the price - was very pleased with the hotel.

Just a place to sleep.
Even that this was a single room the area felt extremely small. You could barely walk within the room. The place was clean but everything felt a little ware down, not a cozy room where you want to spend some hours to rest during the day. It works if you are only looking for a well located place to sleep.

Definition of Tourist Trap - Do Not Book
Don't let the nice lobby fool you, avoid booking this hotel. 1) You can't pay for this hotel in advance, and as a result, they increased the rate by about $60 from what they listed on booking 2) The staff was nice, but the guy checking us in (just shortly after 3) barely knew anything about the property. Not about the breakfast, luggage storage or even where the room was. 3) Turns out our floor (floor #8 mind you) was the basement. There was no elevator, just an extremely steep flight of stairs. This meant that our floor had no windows 4) The walls were incredibly thin. You could hear every noise in the hallway, and because most of the hotel's laundry and worker sections were also downstairs, you could hear a litany of random noises, from laundry machines to pipes, throughout the night. 5) How this is even a thing, I don't know. But any time someone opened our door, or one of the doors adjacent to our room, an alarm went off in the door. 6) Breakfast is in the pub next door and wasn't staffed by anyone it seemed. While the food quality was admittedly decent, it was an overall weird experience. 7) Their luggage storage room isn't locked and is located at the very front of the hotel. It isn't even in full view of the reception desk, meaning anyone could go in at will. To be fair, the hotel is well located. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. We stayed at another hotel in Amsterdam, for less money, one night due to plan changes and it was worlds better.

In the center so good night life
Pricey but expected for red light district. No view from window but lobby sees old church and on a canal. Easy walk from centraal station. Largish room for Europe and all features worked...shower had nice hot water and AC- heat fine. Can walk to lots of attractions. Good breakfast and dinner ribs at next door Molly Malones.
