Great central hotel

The hotel is very close to the train station and perfectly placed for getting round the city easily on foot. I stayed in a double room which was small, but very clean and comfortable. The stairs up to the room are very steep and narrow, so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The only downside to my stay was the noise from the karaoke bar opposite. The bar is open until 3am and unfortunately there is no soundproofing on the windows. I would definitely stay there again - I would just remember to take ear plugs!

Hotel met my basic 1-night need for a comfortable room/bed and a hot shower. The option to leave large rucksack in bag room prior to check in very customer friendly.

Me and a friend stayed 2 nights, and we were in the building just down from the hotel as it's in 2 separate buildings. The part where we stayed was nice, beds were comfy and shower was good. Yes it's basic but we booked knowing that. If I'm being picky the room we had could have been cleaner. But we were out all day and only used it to sleep. Location was great. Near to Amsterdam Central Train station and trams. It was quite quiet too. We did go beginning of February so may have been different if we went during peak time. Over all our stay was good and I would go back again.

The thing I loved about this hotel was the young man bar tending at the check in desk. He was getting the runaround, from a woman from the United States. She had no idea how to work the heater in the room, which made it apparent that she had never been to Northern Europe before. I listened as she argued with him on the phone for 20 minutes about how her heater wasn’t working, and she had just turned it on. She then complained about the stairs. Then she complained about the size of her TV. To which the young gentleman replied, this is a very cheap two star hotel. You hardly paid anything to stay here, why are you expecting the Ritz Carlton? I love the brutal honesty. Overall, the room was OK. be prepared to climb stairs, as there is no elevator.

Okay but not staying again

Staying in this hotel was an okay experience. The only issue that I had was that the stairs leading to the higher floors were too steep. This can pose as a safety hazard and it was difficult to carry luggage up them. The place is close to the central station and lots of cool places outside that you can visit. There is a good chinese restaurant and a great breakfast place near the hotel.

This place is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood, conveniently near a metro station, making it easy to travel to various destinations. The staff was very helpful and friendly. However, I did have a couple of concerns: the room was quite small, and the bathroom was located right next to the bed, which meant you could hear everything, haha. Additionally, there were no hangers in the bathroom, making it difficult to place towels nearby; as a result, I had to put them on my bed.
