only because I was in a hurry

I wouldn't stay here again. I needed a place on short notice to stay overnight, all I wanted was clean and safe and I got not very clean and not very safe. I got 'upgraded' from a twin to a double in the basement, which smelled like mold and the walls were dirty and banged up like a party happened in there or its just been ignored for years. At lower than street level there was no light, the shower didn't look clean enough so I didn't use it, and it was freezing with no space heater. I got no help lugging my bags downstairs and the elevator didn't go to that level. Im sure they werent sold out on a sunday night in march, but still I was pretty much ignored by the staff.

Bad hotel

More like a hostel than a hotel. Carpets stains,torn wallpaper no tea/coffee making facility's no soap or shower caps the window was broken so a cold room and the flat screen tv which was d only good thing about d room had a loud noise coming from it and only had 3 English channels.the free wi-fi we were supposed to receive wasn't working. No room service and no bar. There was also an elevator that did not work. All in all the only good thing about this hotel was its location

Weekend

Dark, poorly lit room half in the basement that needed a space heater to avoid freezing. Unspecified possible shower gel in wall dispenser instead of separate shampoo. One of the worst breakfasts possible for 10 euros. should be classified a 2 star hotel. for a 2 star it would rate " ok". They also charged an extra 10 euros on top of this site but this was not specified in this travel site. On plus side the room was clean. Easy walk to museums.

We were pleasantly surprised by the standards of the rooms. they have walk in showers and very modern equipment with a large flat screen TV on the wall. The hotel staff are very helpful and make your stay in Amsterdam very enjoyable. We thought it was excellent value for money and well positioned to see the sights and to eat.

It's a simple hotel with a very good location, in the heart of Amsterdam. But the service is poor. There is only one towel per person in each room. Despite the lift, there are a lot of stairs to overcome. Some rooms are located in the basement floor and the only things that you can see through the small windows are the wheels of the cars parked on street.

We arrived very early, about 9:30am

We arrived very early, about 9:30am after a long flight from Kuala Lumpur, and were allowed to our room straight away. Normally we would have to wait till 2pm. It was so kind of the reception staff to do so. A hot shower was there to wake us up to enjoy a very cold but always exciting day in Amsterdam. The hotel is close to the Museum Plein, with all the famous museums and close to the tram which takes you to all other attractions of Amsterdam. The staff of the hotel is very friendly and helpful. Thanks to their advice we had a very nice evening in the nearby Bar Helmer. Local meeting point. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet hotel and will be back again.
