Exellent english speaking.reasonable price, beds are comfortable. Breakfast. proximity. location. Located very close to the Leidse Plein, practically everything you wantto see in Amsterdam is within walking distance. There is a breakfastbuffet, so you can have a decent breakfast before exploring the city.Breakfast finished at 10, though, so you can't have a real lie-in. Good sized family room. Friendly staff. Able to leave bags during day. Good breakfast. Central location. The location of the hotel was very convenient for our stay in Amsterdam. 2 entrance cards to room would be useful as they are used also as a house key. the hotel is totally grand for a budget hotel. clean, and comfortable, no bad points to tell about - unbelievably cheap compared to other hotels at that time of year - dec 27 - dec 31. defo would stay there again. a lot of reviews arent great about this hotel - but we had no problems at all during our stay and had a great time here - 392 euro for 3 people for 4 nights....you cannot get cheaper. i'd quite like porridge as a breakfast choice but it was good. no, anything. This is an authentic Dutch experience so need to be aware thatstaircases are steep and toilets are cramped. We found this ok but maybe difficult for older or bigger guests. Finish in rooms is basic. Stairs are too stiff. TV is not functioning well and faucet inside the room has no cold water, or it did not function well to give us cold water. The Shower
We stayed in a double with shared bathroom and the shared shower is just a room with the shower. What this means is the entire floor get wet and your clothes.
It is also very hard to get dress (with out getting your clothes wet) after your shower as the floor is wet.
I would recommend installing shower curtain and basin to create a changing area where your clothes don't get wet.the toilets were really really small!. Showers and toilets incredibly small.bathroom. The walls were a little 'thin', I could hear a lot of what was going on outside.Breakfast very minimal and not enough when the room was full. Room key card gave us some trouble but there appeared to be "a knack" for this.The toilet in the hall and shower were a little dingy as was the hallway. The room itself was nice though. They didn't clean our room after our first night there. the room was tiny and overlooking the other room´s window, wc and bathroom were in the corridor, the furniture was old...but all in all we got for what we had paid. No - you get what you pay for. Shared bathroom facilities (but we knew this in advance and is reflected in the excellent price). It was ok for its price. Rooms where clean, but very simple. have to cross several doors or climb the stairs to get to the toilet or the shower; no TV remote control; conditions of toilet and shower should be better. Beds. too many stairs to get to the room without an elevator. the dog!. Keep your windows closed at night (difficult when the sun has beenshining inside all day long during a hot summer), because rats and micewill come into your room. Speaking from experience, I had to chase awaymice that were nibbling on my lunch for the trip back, but the hotelstaff kindly offered me a different room, even at 3.30am. Apparently,mice are a common problem in Amsterdam.Entrance rather off putting, with a smell of smoke. Wires for lights in bedroom held together with tape, would have been a concern with small children. The front desk was often unstaffed, making it necessary to search for a staff member if any problems or questions arose.
