    The toilet was a tiny space, and the stairs to my room were very steep and windy

    It was a good location and one of the cheapest places I could find. The bedroom was spacious, and the shared toilet and shower worked and I shared with 2 other rooms

    For a very short stay and if you don't have too many expectations and just need to sleep, this is OK

    The furnishings of the rooms were old, not very comfortable and impractical (e.g. the bar with hangers for hanging clothes was placed in such a way that it could only be used partially). The hotel is located on a busy street next to a coffee shop. It is common practice that noisy people move under the windows until the early hours of the morning, and if you are not looking for marihulan smoke, you cannot open the window all night.

    The room was clean. Everyday there was a cleaning service.

    Since it is in the city center, it is very noisy until the early hours. Since there were two single beds together, it was not comfortable. The room space is very small, as is the bathroom. Also, the stairs are very narrow.

    The location is very good. It was easy to get to every place because it was right in the city. The staff was friendly however it's worth it to get such a place in the city center for that kind of money.

    The pubs below were open till 4am and the noise was ridiculous-at 4am the drunk choir and shouting began- we got very little sleep There is no air in so we had to have the windows open while ch obviously made it worse The noise is not the hotels fault and to be expected where we were but just to be warned- if you want sleep it won’t be here!😂😂 Also- the stairs are like mountaineering Everest so if you have any mobility issues or like a drink you may well visit Dutch A n E

    The location is close to the station and the main drag. Lots of places to grab food Close to boat trips Very basic room and a little tired but good value for a Saturday night in Amsterdam

    lot of stairs and they did mention in booking which is fine but others need to know it clearly

    Everyone needs to know that you have to use lot of small stairs and need lot of muscles to go to 4th floor and you never know what floor you get the room. They should mention in every booking what floor you are getting the room,. Mine was floor 4 so lots of stairs even though I dont have any issues with legs but still was tiring I was there for just sleep I was ok

    Didn't realise the rooms at the back of the hotel over looked a very busy and loud street,so some bars were open till 5am on the weekends. Beds a little small but no problem for our overnight stay

    Location was great. Clean and tidy. We got what we paid for.

    I liked that my whole family could share the room (although being budget) with no third parties. We had our own bathroom. The concierge was available 24 hours per day.
