Well the review should be in 2. One for the personnel, they were great, fantastic, always open to help you. Now the property, well is in the middle of the red light Distric (depending what you coming for; could be convenient or not), that implies noises, people going around late, etc. It’s not a place for families; that’s for sure! The place is not the Caesar, the reception it’s in the bar downstairs; and I am not criticizing, I am describing literal how it is. Like I said, this is Europe, and it’s different. I travel solo, and I have been in different places, some worst, some better. One thing that they should work on is in change the pillows, beds, and bedsheets. Like I said before… depends what you are looking for.

Very basic rooms in a fun location in the heart of the red light district. While I knew the rooms would be basic before I arrived, I had no idea how indifferent management was to basic bathroom design (overflowing drains, shower curtains stapled to stay up, mold due to total non ventilation). Beside the bartenders on the ground level, there was no one in charge. The room got major afternoon sun and only one broken fan was available to circulate air.

Unfit for a hotel. This is a youth hostel!
This is not a hotel. This is a hostel. We booked this based on the 10/10 reviews which are RIDICULOUS. We checked into a bar and climbed very steep stairs to the attic where I couldn’t stand. The twin beds were very uncomfortable, the carpet had vomit stains and there wasn’t a bathroom in the room, only on the next floor down, shared with 5 other rooms. We spoke to the bartender who said we could leave now and get a refund on half of the nights (2) but we had to pay for the first two nights. $300 for nothing. I understand that he lost a booking but this place was really bad and we booked another hotel (Rho hotel) for the same price and it was SO MUCH BETTER. Do not stay here unless you’re in college and want a crash pad.

Good central location
Very helpful staff, very central location close to all the sighs and attractions, the room was excellent, but the very steep winding stairs to the upper floors may be a difficulty for some visitors. Overall a very enjoyable stay and I would use this hotel again.

The hotel is good located. The older receptionist (with long hair and beard) was very rude. The room is very noisy, I don’t think they have noise isolation. The bathroom was clean.

If you are looking for a good time out in Amsterdam and experience the nightlife this it the place to be. The amenities are all basic and there are steep stairs to go up to the rooms. The venue seems overpriced. Staff is mostly professional and friendly, and the breakfast was decent.

No in room bathroom/shower
This was my first trip to the Netherlands, I travel a lot for business and pleasure (I work for an airline), so I am used to nice hotels but occasionally do stay at hostels so I see a wide range. My issue is that this "hotel" did not make it clear that it did not have a private, in-room bathroom and shower. I paid around 90 euro not expecting to have to share a bathroom/shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and adequate (good wifi, ease of after hour entry, security, etc.) but it was basically a private bedroom hostel. I believe I could have stayed in several hostels (shared bath) for around 25-30 euro.

Hotel was in a fantastic location above a pub. It was very clean including the shared bathroom. The breakfast was sufficient. My only complaint would be the friendliness of the staff at reception. I believe the customer experience could have been better.

Not worth the money for the quality of accommodation. You are paying for location. Very noisy area. Rooms are equatable to a hostel. It’s not a hotel. No bathroom inside room. Shared space.
