    Expectations were low but they exceeded it. You have to ask the front office for the air conditioner remote control.

    The hotel is a clean room in the heart of Amsterdam’s red light district. No frills but decent. Very good price. If you are looking for a clean stay to sober up after a night of drinking, you might consider hotel 83

    Everything was good for us.

    The Hotel is in the Red Light District and close to shops, restaurants,... We didn't have problems with the noise outside. Inside was very quiet. We parked in a Q-park nearby.

    The steps to the room with a suitcase was very difficult, no lift, but it’s Amsterdam so to be expected.

    Lovely staff, very friendly. The area is in red light district and did not feel safe late at night.

    The price is definitely too high for a hotel of this level. Note that the stairs to the second floor are very narrow and very steep, so it might be difficult to have larger luggage. There is no hook or shelf in the shower room to hang a towel or put a toothbrush, there is also a glass for water missing.

    The hotel was surprisingly quiet despite the location (it's a red light area :)). The room was relatively spacious and clean. Staff was responsive. Breakfast is not offered, but there are a few cafes and restaurants nearby.

    No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. For 200 Euro a night, you would have hoped they could provide that. We were also on the top floor, so it was more than a little challenging for us to lug our bags up the ladder-like stairs. No one offered to help

    We were stranded in Amsterdam when the owner of the apartment we'd booked through booking.com didn't show up after several hours and numerous phone calls. Eventually we found out they had been shut down. We were left to find our own accommodation, and since we were on foot and travelling with luggage - this was the closest hotel. Unfortunately what we did not realise was that it was right in the heart of the red-light district! That said, the room was towards the back of the hotel, so it was actually pleasantly quiet.

    I didn’t realise I had booked a room with two beds, so me and my wife had to sleep separately on two single beds. This was the cheapest hotel in central Amsterdam on this weekend (the first weekend of the Tulip gardens being open), and the room was reflective of the lower price. It is very small and the bathroom and shower are shared.

    Central location

    Fine location for one, night, but a bit expensive for just a room without breakfast

    room is smallish, bed isn't the best there is, rather soft to our liking and one side to the wall, so not as easy to get into bed when you're not 18 anymore :). it was clean, hence the faint smell of chloride i guess.

    Location is perfect open 24/7 looks clean has it's own bathroom friendly and helpful people running the place.

    The beds are not that big, we got one double bed to share, we were expecting 2 single beds. Not the most comfortable, but ok. The amenities in the room and bath are very basic, even the electrical plugs were few and high on the wall. No hairdryer.

    Location is very central, close to all the landmarks and on the lovely canals. It's in the heart of the Red Light district though so it gets very busy in the evening, but it feels pretty safe. The hotel lobby is really nice.
