Great location for our one night stop in Amsterdam. Easy access from Centraal station. Room was tiny but we didn't need any more space. Great night rest and awesome shower. Staff was excellent.
I really loved this hotel - I booked it last minute because of the head wave, and the AC was perfect. All the staff were so nice and the location was great too. I would 100% stay here again.
Just be aware of no lift. 67 very steep steps to 3 rd floor room. Room itself was very narrow and tight, but comfortable. Overpriced for this room. Staff however was very accommodating.
The hotel is as expected, basic and simple. Selling point is of course the location, which was excellent.
Stay was mostly fine, the only complaint is that the bedding smelled funky and wasn't as clean as one would expect. No matter how budget friendly, this is not it!
Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Great spot and excellent location. Clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to friends looking for a budget friendly and convenient overnight in Amsterdam.

This place was clean inside the rooms nice staff and in a prime location and walkable to most places
Had a lovely time there and the staff were very welcoming and the location was amazing, will definitely be our first choice hotel if we come back to Amsterdam
Thankyou
Very pleasant and helpful staff. Hotel close to many spots we wanted to see. Long flight of stairs to get your bag up and down at check in-out time. Staff offered to help.
