Aalburg Vacations from $1,012

The hotel room was very tired with chipped paint, cracks and mould in the bathroom and the door number half torn off. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine. Good location but really hard to drive to as Google maps takes you via restricted roads.

From experience, Amsterdam is an expensive city, and I understand how difficult it can be to find a good budget-friendly hotel. Hotel Pagi is very centrally located, close to the train station and within walking distance of most of the places you are likely to visit during your stay. It is situated on a busy street, so noise may affect light sleepers. However, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept well. The rest of the property is very basic—and I do mean basic. There are no frills, limited storage space for clothes, and the bathroom is adequate at best. That said, considering the price, we did not expect luxury. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the staff. The reception team were superb—friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The housekeeping lady was also incredibly lovely and added a personal touch to the experience. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay in a prime location and do not mind simple facilities, Hotel Pagi is worth considering.

It took quite a while to finally get the circuit breaker fixed for our room. My husband says you should create a map of circuit breakers because they are scattered all over the hotel & in fact ours was in a locked closet in our room so that’s what caused the delay with getting it fixed. I certainly didn’t mean a 1 star rating. That was a mistake. I’m not sure how that happened. I give a 4 star rating. And other than this delayed response to getting out circuits fixed I give a high rating for the staff. Comfortable mattress. Full wall of windows. Beautiful full length velvet grey drapes, spacious room. Pretty breakfast room. A month later we are missing you all from California!

The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Close to everything but tucked away for quiet nights. Fantastic.
