8/10 Good

We booked an almost last minute trip to Amsterdam on a budget and this did the job.
Firstly, the hotel is located in a lovely area of Amsterdam, nice to walk around and close to the park. The tram stop is just a short walk at the end of the road and the number 2 will take you into central (around 15 mins). A short 10/15 minute walk into the museum part where there are loads of bars and restaurants too.
We stayed on the first floor at the front of the hotel. The room itself was fine, quite narrow but we weren’t stepping over each other. However, the room does get very hot in the summer (they do provide a selection of fans, which is good!) but if the window is open, you can hear the cars and trams. The walls are also quite thin and could hear our neighbours entire phone conversation! If you’re a light sleeper, consider bringing ear plugs!
The room was clean but found after our first day, they didn’t do a routine clean. We popped the ‘please clean’ sign outside the door the next day but they only changed one towel. We weren’t overly bothered but I would have liked the sink cleaned, at least, every day.
We didn’t have a lot of interaction with the staff, but check in and check out was quick and easy enough.
Would probably stay in a different hotel next time we visit but in general, it did the job fine.
Pros - cheap and good location
Cons - thin walls and rooms not cleaned everyday
