    Any of my foreign debit cards didn't work, I had to take the cash out of ATM. Hotel felt untidy for the price. The same for overall comfort and room size, but compared to similar rooms in the city it was standard I guess.

    Right in the center of the city, close to everywhere. Cat "porter" was funny and really beautiful.

    The stairs up to the bedrooms. Toilet and shower room tiny, Twin bedroom was just about enough room to get into our beds .. all the noise of the other guests can be heard all night long ..

    Location was excellent, staff were very helpful.. excellent value for money and near lovely restaurants for breakfast

    The staff was a bit rude and the payment method was pretty bad. ALOT OF RULES. I had to go to the ATM to take money to pay the reservation because the hotel hadn’t accepted my card for the payment. Also, they asked 20 euro for the keys.

    Very close to everything.

    The building is a classic building that develops in height, therefore make sure you are ok with carrying your luggage up the steep stairs (I do not think there is an elevator).

    The location is great. Very central and only a 10 min walk to Amterdam Centraal station. Very quiet, considering it is in the middle of a bustling road. The staff also let us store the bags at the hotel on the day of check-out until our train departed, which allowed us to explore the city a bit more :).

    We were on 5th floor and stairs are very steep. By the time you climbed the stairs to your room you had to have half hour to get your breath back.

    The hotel was situated in a good place just outside Central Station and close to town and everything you needed.

    The room and the bathroom were really small, especially the beds that were against the wall leaving no room to move. Attention to the stairs which are very steep. No elevator is present. Overall good value for money.

    Very good location, near the main train station and the center of Amsterdam. Excellent sound isolation, our room was facing the Main Street outside were people would pass by the below bar all night but I could sleep without any issue.

    Room was very small and basic with no facilities but in fairness to the hotel, i probably expected too much for a budget hotel. It was very noisy in the early hours.

    Only the steep steps to rooms could be a challenge if your not reasonably fit. Elevator could help in places with lots of floors with the steep steps which are found all over buildings in Amsterdam

    Best location 👌 and easy access to get around near central station

    The worker opening my door at half 9 the morning I was leaving. Where is the respect for me and my sons privacy, the beds where small for a single bed My 10 year old son taught the same, the toilet was very small I had to pull my pants down with the door open sit on the toilet then close the door, we where on the top floor 74 steps going around in a swivel and the last 10/12 steps where almost like a ladder.

    Location was 10/10 that's why it was that price in my opinion

    No elevator may not always be a problem but it is a problem if you must climb 90 degrees 47 stairs. There is a carpet on the floor so it cant be cleaned properly and it shows because they were too dirty. The room is very very small so it is hard to locate your luggages.

    The location was good.

    The bathrooms had a bad smell that got worse day by day, there was strange stains on the walls. There was a surprise €20 key deposit that had to be paid in cash, it was given back when key was handed back.

    It was a good location
