    No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. For 200 Euro a night, you would have hoped they could provide that. We were also on the top floor, so it was more than a little challenging for us to lug our bags up the ladder-like stairs. No one offered to help

    We were stranded in Amsterdam when the owner of the apartment we'd booked through booking.com didn't show up after several hours and numerous phone calls. Eventually we found out they had been shut down. We were left to find our own accommodation, and since we were on foot and travelling with luggage - this was the closest hotel. Unfortunately what we did not realise was that it was right in the heart of the red-light district! That said, the room was towards the back of the hotel, so it was actually pleasantly quiet.

    I didn’t realise I had booked a room with two beds, so me and my wife had to sleep separately on two single beds. This was the cheapest hotel in central Amsterdam on this weekend (the first weekend of the Tulip gardens being open), and the room was reflective of the lower price. It is very small and the bathroom and shower are shared.

    Central location

    Fine location for one, night, but a bit expensive for just a room without breakfast
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    room is smallish, bed isn't the best there is, rather soft to our liking and one side to the wall, so not as easy to get into bed when you're not 18 anymore :). it was clean, hence the faint smell of chloride i guess.

    Location is perfect open 24/7 looks clean has it's own bathroom friendly and helpful people running the place.

    Very basic, but decent and clean. Quite pricey for the quality due to location.
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The beds are not that big, we got one double bed to share, we were expecting 2 single beds. Not the most comfortable, but ok. The amenities in the room and bath are very basic, even the electrical plugs were few and high on the wall. No hairdryer.

    Location is very central, close to all the landmarks and on the lovely canals. It's in the heart of the Red Light district though so it gets very busy in the evening, but it feels pretty safe. The hotel lobby is really nice.
