Hotel was clean, washrooms clean, shower okay wear flip flops. Breakfast was really good, staff okay, not overly friendly, not unfriendly. One staff member was really nice and helpful, the rest did not want to be bothered at all. Would I stay here again, only if I got the first floor, very steep stairs and they do not help you... More

The Hotel is very good located and you reach the old town easy by feet, but the hotel itself is in a safe, calm neighborhood. The price is very good, so don't expect a 5-Star Hotel. But it's clean, nice and small. The breakfast was also ok, nothing to complain in this price range, above average. We took a room... More

The hotel is decent considering that in Amsterdam in general the prices for lodging are very high. a perpendicular staircase (but I've heard that it's a common problem for Amsterdam:) Quite a small room. We were living 4 of us in 1 rooms and didn't expect it to be so small Decent breakfast Great location! It's not in the heart... More

We (4 females) stayed in a quadruple room for about 135 euros each from 26/8/11-29/8/11. The room was clean and tidy, and had a decent sized bathroom and a big window. There was A LOT of steep thin steps, so I wouldn't recommend the quadruple room (top floor) unless you're steady on your feet! The hotel is a 5 minute... More

This hotel was really terrible, the stairs are extremely steep and the staff doesn't seem to have been very professional or friendly. They gave us a top floor room knowing we had a 5-year old with us, which was very small and so hot we could barely sleep because of the heat. We had to keep the window open at... More

The hotel is well located in the city. It is near the vondelpark as well as most of the museums. Staff are accomodating! Will be back there next year. More

I went to Amsterdam this year to (quietly) celebrate my 21st. I went with a friend of mine and decided that considering we'd only be there for 4 days/nights we might as well share a double room as most of the time would be (and was) spent out of the room any way. The room was affordable, very clean and... More

It's Europe on the cheap, so we weren't expecting much, but our expectations weren't met. This was by far the worst hotel on our European adventure. The hotel is central enough. The #5 and #1 trams would take you all the places you'd want to go, and it's an easy enough walk to Van Gogh, Reiksmuseum and Vondelpark. There was... More
