Very Clean room. But the stairs are tough to walk. Only for young people to walk up and down with small luggage. No Lift.

Good and not so good

This is a mixed review because some of my stay was excellent, and some of it was challenging. The good: Great location… Close to everything! The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful… Going above and beyond. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The not so good: this was, I suppose a typical Amsterdam building… In that, there were very steep stairs and My room was on top of a very, very steep Spiral staircase. Fortunately, the Gentlemen at the registration was able to carry my suitcase up all the stairs for me and the staff was able to bring it back down. Also, although my bed was very comfortable, just know that it’s a very basic room… It Was the right place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep In a good location…And that was the case for me.

N elevator

Good location. There is no mention of no elevator i was given a room on the top floor and had to climb a ridiculously steep and narrow sets of spiral stairs with all my luggage. The desk clerk helped me with my suitcase on my arrival and I carried my own bags down when I left. Never again

The location was unbeatable, walking distance to most everything and to the train, which took us to the central station from the airport in minutes. Clean and comfortable place with helpful and friendly staff. FYI, there is a laundromat around the corner and ample coffee places for breakfast. planning on coming again.

We had other booing at other hotel, but decided to add one more day stay in Amsterdam, so we booked this hotel for just one night. Staff are friendly. Room is spacious compared with the other hotel we stayed. It’s very clean and comfortable, even with tea kettle and tea bags. Location is great, walkable to all attractions. The only thing we didn’t like was the stairs, which are spiral and narrow. We stayed on the 4th floor. That was difficult to climb. We wished someone would help us with the luggage dragging up to 4th floor. Besides the stairs we were very happy with our stay.

Simple, but very clean room. There was a nice mirror. Heater, toilet and shower work great. Excellent location, and 24h front desk. Friendly staff. You can leave your luggage if you get earlier than 1pm, or if your flight is way after the check out. My complaint is definitely only with the noise. Not sure if it is the same on the other floors, but if you can, try to avoid rooms on the 1st floor (#2 and #3). It sounds like you are in a basement and a bunch of elephants are coming down every time someone go downstairs. After 8am, they start hovering the floors, and they don’t care to bump on your door with. I stayed most of the time out, but 2 days I could wake up a bit later (most of the things in AMS open after 9am and later), but it was impossible with the noises. I’d like to get back, because price, location and cleanliness are great but would definitely try another floors.

A no-frills hotel choice. Functional and good location. Very tight quarters, but so is everything in Amsterdam. The staff are helpful and friendly, and provide fresh towels and room cleaning everyday. Other tenants staying here can be noisy, but this is not hotel's fault. Overall good, and I would use again. Very affordable as well.
