On arrival the place looks nice from the outside but inside is a joke. At some point they have had a leak and its made the wallpapper in the hallways peal and some spots of black mould. The 1st room i was put in was gross, dirty sheets, no carpet on the floors and the flooring was dirty with dust gathered in the grooves. Not to mention the layer of dust over the entire room, the limescale all over the shower heads and someone had picked their nose and wiped it on the window frame also where the leak was in the hallway the wall connected had bubbled pealing paint. When asked to move to another room i was moved i to the room above, it was slightly cleaner. Dust layer over everything, bed sheets still unclean and bathroom while nicer than the other room was not worth the price of the stay. The hostel- because thats what it is, also required a €50 deposit which gets refunded when you check out. Staff while friendly were useless to fix any issues. It felt like having a bad landlord who thinks a paint job is a repair. There is a tv- but doesnt work, there is heating but too 3hrs to warm up and then sounded like a trickling stream the entire time. Location is great but this place should be taking no more bookings before its repaired and up to code. The black mould alone should take it out of commission.

The hotel is in an ideal spot, a short walk to Leidseplein. The staff at the hotel were fantastic. My phone broke and the lady at reception helped me print my tickets, give directions and overall was really kind and understanding.

Yes this hotel could do with a refresh but the location is perfect. The staff are helpful and it is an ideal place to stay if you just want a bed for the night and a decent shower. Lift is slow but works. We walked to all of the attractions and shops. Restaurants close by, sandwich shop over the road. Definitely served its purpose for a long weekend away. I was worried by others reviews but honestly there is nothing to worry about. I would recommend this hotel.

The staff were friendly and helpful but this hotel is in desperate need of a deep cleaning or a fresh coat of paint. I stayed in a single room near the elevator that the hotel acknowledge is the slowest in Amsterdam. The room is very small but served my purpose. The twin bed was comfortable but the topper kept slipping off the bed. The sheets and towels had stains and were dingy grey. The shower had good pressure but flooded the bathroom every time you used it. The toilet is so close to the sink that you could sit on toilet and brush your teeth- not that would want too but it’s the best way to describe it. My room had strange brown smears on the wall and the wall paper was ripped and peeling off. The hotel has cats running around which didn’t bother me but if you have allergies be aware. Location is convenient to trams and museum district. Neighborhood is quiet.

Room was filthy, a pile of dust on the floor under the table, skirting boards grubby and thick with dirt. Sheets on the bed were off white, the pillows were just cushions lumpy and off white.

The room was too small. It was impossible to sleep at night because of the noise. It was the super loud elevator if it wasn't somebody talking loudly. The room was not super clean (my sheets had stains), and the walls desperately needed a fresh coat of paint. I do not recommend the property.

Nice, clean, somewhat simple hotel. The room is basic, but modern and clean. Very helpful staff. Great location not far from the Leidseplein. It's my go-to budget choice in Amsterdam.

I was very aprehensive about staying here after reading the reviews but it is nowhere near as bad as people make out. Staff were very friendly and on hand 24/7, we were on the first floor so didn't use the lift much but it wasn't as slow as expected and we didn't hear it during the night at all. The location of the hotel is great, it's close enough to the centre to be walking distance, but far enough away to get a good nights sleep. We stayed for a week, including on a Friday and Saturday night, and slept with the window open with minimal noise issues. There are a handful of shops and restaurants just a few minutes walk away. Was it dirty? No. Did the paint need a freshen up? Yes, but it does not affect your stay at all. The double bed was massive and SO comfortable. The room and bathroom were both decent sizes. The shower doesn't have a door or curtain so some water does go a little around the bathroom but put the mat down that they provide and be a little careful and its not an issue. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would stay here again. It's a great budget hotel and nowhere near as bad as people make out.

After reading the reviews I was hesitant about my stay at this property. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The location of the hotel was perfect, only 30 min walk till you’re in the city centre. The hotel has bikes to hire as well as numbers for taxis etc. The room was satisfactory for the price you pay. The balcony was lovely, the TV had Netflix & Prime available. The bed was comfy. Big bathroom and mirrors. 24 hour reception was perfect. You cannot go wrong for the price. The only criticism, would be there was no soup/toilet roll, however we did get some after asking. Overall, the reviews are not accurate and the hotel is perfect for a budget stay. Thank you very much!

A small but functional room. The thin mattress kept slipping off the wooden base, and the shower oddly had no curtain or door, so the water would spread out into the bathroom and the room itself. But the floor was made of a material that eventually absorbed the water. The elevator is indeed the slowest and loudest I’ve experienced (as advertised) but the room is reasonably priced, the location is great, in walking distance from the van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, and near several good restaurants. The staff is nice and the front door stays open throughout the night.

Room 17 is not a room I would recommend to anyone taller than 5'4 or over 140 lbs, you simply won't be able to maneuver in the bathroom. The window can't open because the cubbard is in front of it. The head of the bed is against the loud elevator wall. The stairs are whimsical yet treaturous. Staff were friendly and helpful.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This is a warning to all potential guests to steer clear of this hotel. Do not believe the Expedia average review of 7 out of 10 stars. The room will only be cleaned if you demand in advance, you will be charged fees for requesting fresh towels (which their resident cat lies on all day - hello allergies!), and the amount of audible noise from other guests (because it's an "old building") is insufferable. The towels, bedsheets, wallpaper, etc etc is in such a state of disrepair it's disgraceful this place still makes money.

Comfortable location
The location is quite comfortable and in a walkable distance to the main attractions. The outside of the hotel is not bad but the entrance is very dirty, the rooms are dusty, showers are not very functional as you will flood the floor. Rooms are spacious but the forniture not arranged properly as you will have to jump over the bed to reach the balcony.
