Bed bugs - didn't care.

I mean, I knew this was a budget stay, so I wasn't expecting much. We just needed a place to sleep and shower while we got on the more important business of exploring Amsterdam. But the rooms were tiny, hot, dirty, dark, and even though they had heat pumps/air conditioning, we had no control over the temperature, so it made them way less helpful. Those things would all be fine, given that I knew it was a budget stay. The problem was the bugs. There was bed bugs. I'm no entomologist, but I'm pretty sure those are bed bugs. I showed reception, and all he said was "Sorry, man". Didn't care very much, didn't offer anything. So, I'd say skip this one, and gamble it with another place to stay.

Really lovely area, short walk to museums and vondelpark, nice walk into city too. Was expecting more in hotel for the price when you pay over £100 a night, entrance to hotel was very dingy in need of a re decoration, beds and bedding had stains on them, hairdryer didn’t work, room was very small but it was warm

The hotel is located just a block away from a tram station and the Heineken Experience. A couple of blocks from several Museums. Several dinning options close. Room was ok, but the bathroom was very small. Front desk is at a different location, but overall a good experience.

Below average hotel

Very average hotel, with many stains in the room carpets and stairwells, mold near the patio door, scary patio, ants in the room, burn marks on some of the outlets, no elevator, no AC. Not cheap either and not a value for the money we spent.

Stay away

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. Apart from that the hotel is run down, the towels full of holes, the key cards are constantly malfunctioning, the rooms are covered with dirt, it smells of mould in the bathroom and the toilet is of a strange design only interesting for weird people. The staff can be nice, but the manager who were present during our stay was a particularly obnoxious person.

Great location, lovely staff, nice cat! small room with a few hooks to hang clothes on, a few coat hangers would have been useful. window into the stairwell means its quite loud in the room at night but it was clean enough and a great place to sleep & shower whilst exploring Amsterdam. No problems with it but not a place to stay if you want somewhere to hang clothes/ spacious room.

Louisa

After reading all the awful reviews we were very stressed about what we would find on arrival. The hotel is dilapidated, the hallway is pretty gross but the actual room was ok. Its basic at best, dated and not amazingly clean. To be honest, we paid about £40 per person per night for a very central place to sleep and while i wouldnt queue up to stay there again it was cheap and budget friendly.

The room was very unclean, carpet was practically crawling and full of dirt. Bed sheets and towels smelt clean but we’re covered in stains, and blood stains on the wall of the room. Actual building itself looks derelict with blood stains on walls. Staff were okay & check in easy - note 50 euro deposit required and taxes per person on top of hotel charge. Would not recommend DO NOT stay here
