Probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, although location cannot be beat. 5 minute walk to Centraal train station, shops, coffee shops and Red Light district. Stayed here March 31st - April 2nd with a friend, still cannot believe we paid almost $200 Euros/2 nights for this dungeon. The stench of weed is everywhere in this "non-smoking" hotel. Rooms...

I stayed here with a bunch of friends and it's very definitely a budget style place. The only positive is the location. The rooms are tiny.

I have to admit when I first arrived here I was not impressed. Hotel is definately too good a description, it really was more like a hostel. The decor was awful and the reception area really was more like a waiting room at a train station reception then a hotel reception. There was no lift either and the stairs were... More

This hotel is close the railway station from/to the airport /5min walk/, good location close the center and the stuff was really very friendly - this is positive. The negative part was the room itself. It was very tiny, just the bed, small wardrobe and minitable and looked poor. The bathroom also small, but quite clean. What was maybe the... More

I stayed with three other people, it was my idea to go down the cheap road and pay £20 each to stay at this hotel. Hotel staff where great, no problems, one person travelling with us sprained her leg spot was hard for her to get up the stairs, but anyone who hasn't done their research will not know that... More

Went to stay in amsterdam for a short break, visit the red light and some coffee shops ect. The hotel is right by everywhere really. Right in the centre , about 5 mins walk from the station. Staff are friendly and even let us leave our bags after we have checked out. We would stay here again. If you want... More

Cheap place, rooms are what you'd expect for a cheap room. We had a room for 6 on the 2nd floor. Bathroom really small , bit cramped but what more do you want for 54Euro for 2 nights ! Literally 100 yards away from The Grass Hopper pub/club which is the place to be :o) The staff were lovely, let... More
