Amazing value for money, location is perfect and not as bad as you’d expect at this price. Small room but lovely view (room 211) of the highstreet. Warm room and comfy beds with good cleaning and sheet changes every day. Really friendly staff that didn’t charge for a slightly late checkout and are available 24/7. Perfect if you’re on a budget and don’t mind a couple of compromises like sharing a toilet/shower.
Not much, can be a bit of a trek up the many flights of stairs but not really a problem. Likely not accessible for people with reduced mobility.

It's in the centre of Amsterdam and really a budget hotel.
The receptionist. He was unfriendly during my check in. Even if it's not yet 3pm for check in, he should be at the reception all the time as that's the service from the hotel. The door was closed and I ring the bell. He was angry and told me, why you are ringing the bell. It's not yet 3pm for check in. I would rather excuse myself than to answer back as he was so angry and unfriendly person. Not suitable for hospitality industry.

The location is excellent, the beds are comfortable, the bed linen is clean every day, which is rarely seen even in higher-ranking hotels, the staff is friendly and tries to help as much as possible, low price
Too noisy from the street late at night, very small room, old - fashioned, we booked a room with two single beds and one bunk bed, and got two bunk beds.

Location is right in the middle of everything. So really easy to get around. The room was small but perfect for what we needed. Shower/Toilet tight but fine. Didn't eat at the hotel but you have supermarkets and bakeries everywhere around you
Front door was locked at 7pm one day, not sure why but was open when we got back.

The receptionist on the afternoon shift was fantastic when we stayed there! He was very kind and exceptional (unfortunately I don't remember his name). The cleaning was fantastic, even though we were a family of 4, it was impossible to keep everything organized, the cleaning staff did a good job.

The location was spot on the beds blankets and pillows amazing nice shower!! Staff were great too! Literally 5 minutes from the station too!
Can’t really say there’s anything I didn’t like although the stairs could be better a bit steep for my liking lol but all the good points overruled that

Mario was a funny and positive guy and very helpful, almost like a brother. Rizwan was very professional and punctual. One of the chinese cleaning ladies was also very nice and helpful. The hotel is very very central and close to the central station.

Phenomenal location, great friendly staff, stunningly quiet given how central the location was. Showers had great water pressure. Walking distance to the train station and all major attractions.
The building is obviously aging and the stairs are steep.

Coffee shop 3 doors down on the left on opposite side of the alley. Hotel easy found not far from station. De kroon coffee shop open from 7 Monday to Saturday
Smoking room needed in hotel. Wasn't given the option of breakfast but near McDonald's

The best part of this hotel is an excellent location. It is exactly in the centre. Pubs, takeaway, restaurants are next door.
The room is quite old but generally it's acceptable. We have quite good experience with the evening hotel staff and he is really helpful but the morning one was really rude. Instead of telling us politely to leave the hotel after leaving our luggages, he just said "only luggages, no people". It is terribly rude and I dont know what the service he does.
