Never stay here
The carpets were thread bare. The stairs were narrow and steep with no left, not suitable for anyone with a disability. There was mold in the bathroom. The window was damaged. The room was not properly cleaned. There was only one pillow each, I had to put towels undermine as it was to low and I woke up first morning with a pain in my neck. There was no hot water for the interiority of our stay. Quite frankly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

Avoid!!! The condition of this hotel is more than terrible!! That was the worst hotel I've ever been. I've paid £310 for 3nights and seriously it was worth it maybe 100pounds for 3 nights. Some hostels are in better condition than this hotel. Very disappointed...

Funtional rather than luxurious, this room was perfectly fine if you're not concerned about fancy things when looking for somewhere to stay. Very beige rooms and very small but bed, ensuite and room was comfortable and clean. Shower was great, and fab location - 5-10 minutes to the city centre. Staff changed sheets and towels every day and were polite in check in and out. Would recommend if you're easily pleased.

Location was good and staff were helpful. But hotel itself was very shabby with filthy carpet, chipped linoleum, polystyrene tiles in poor condition. We were placed in an Expedia room on third floor up very steep narrow stairs, no lift etc. The room was like someone's attic - really shoddy. Cheap bed but nice clean bedding, no other furniture but an old plastic chair. No toiletries or soap but clean towels. The staff kindly moved us the following day to the ground floor, also very basic but slightly better. Still no soap etc. Our advice - do not book this hotel! It should not be on Expedia's website.

Hostel that advertises as hotel
Not worthy of being called a hotel, if anything it's a budget hostel. When we arrived we were told we couldn't pay with card due to 'construction work outside disrupting the connection' which caused many complications for us, as taking that much cash out in one go proved difficult. We spent the whole of our last morning in the city searching for ATMs that would let us do so. After looking into more of their reviews, it became clear that the construction work excuse wasn't new and had been used multiple times since 2009. The worst part of my experience however, was the way we were spoken to by the manager of the 'hotel'. We found her to be extremely rude and patronising. She also seemed to be making up things as she went along and backtracking each time we called her up on it. On the other hand, the two younger receptionists couldn't have been nicer. The room and shared bathroom themselves felt unsanitary and were not at all comfortable. We were able to hear everything that was going on in the two rooms in our corridor as the walls were so thin. One of the only positives that can be drawn from this expereince was the Italian restuarant on the corner. Very convenient and very reasonable.

Bed Bugs
Bed bugs. Bed bugs. Bed bugs. The entire bidding musty be invested as they told us they only change the bedding after a complaint of bed bugs. I also have not yet received confirmation of my refund that is due to me.

Well located but basic hotel
If all you need is a bed for a few nights then this hotel is a cost effective option, but the rooms are small and facilities basic. There is no lift to the rooms which may be an issue for some. The staff were friendly, and I would consider staying here again. The hotel is located close to a tram stop with good access to the centre of Amsterdam.

If you’re over 25, forget it....
Nice friendly and informative check-in with lots of help to get around and explore Amsterdam, but the room.... well, student dorm probably describes it best. Iron beds from a bygone era, the wardrobe is actually just a rail, fuzzy TV, a towel the size of a pillowcase and they clearly don’t trust you with the tv remote because there isn’t one. I expect much much more. But, if you’re on a gap year and sharing with four friends bunking up around Europe then this might be for you.... but then if I were you I’d probably opt for a houseboat instead.
