Guest Reviews

• Larissa (6/5): Fonctionnel mais sans plus - La localisation :à proximité des adresses touristiques, on peut tout faire à pied à condition d'aimer la marche. Le lit est très confortable. Présence d'un coffre dans la.chambre et système de badge pour entrer et sortir qui renforce la sécurité. Localisé sur une place festive avec une succession de cafés et de restaurants. Le plus problématique est la présence d'un café adjacent qui met de la musique a longueur de journée et le bâtiment est très mal insonorisé. La place est egalement nettoyée tous les matins à 8h. L'eau chaude était rapidement bouillante.
• adriana (5/5): - Ubicación Muy incómodo para entrar alas habitaciónes.
• Feliks (5/5): Поставить одну двуспальную кровать - Месторасположение хорошее Внутри не сильно уютно (особенно ванная комната) но самая главная проблема что кровати стояли две отдельно и каждую ночь сильно разъезжались, из-за чего было сильно неудобно
• Linnea (7/5): - Låg bra till. Vi hade som mest 30 mins promenad till aktiviteter. Så ligger väldigt centralt. Toaletten kunde ha varit lite fräschare. Städats oftare. Badtofflor är att rekommendera
• Migena (10/5): -
• Anna Karen (8/5): -
• lucia (8/5): Comodo - Ottima posizione.
• Pedro (9/5): Muy satisfecho con el trato recibido. - Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación y el trato del personal del hotel. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Repetiría sin duda.
• amparo (8/5): - La ubicación del hotel El baño, no hay plato de ducha
• Andrea (7/5): - Demasiado incómodo para subir y bajar, fui dos veces a recepción y siempre estaba cerrado. El baño se inundaba todo La ubicación es muy buena durante el día , de noche hasta las cuatro de la mañana se escuchaban gritos de bajo de nuestra ventana.
• Alba (7/5): Estancia buena y regular depende la habitación asignada - La ubicación estaba bien , para el precio que pagamos Nosotros fuimos un grupo de 10 personas nos asignaron una cuádruple y 3 dobles. La cuádruple y una de las dobles estaba genial, pero 2 de las otra habitaciones eran demasiado antiguas, muy pequeñas y no había ni plato de ducha
• Maria (10/5): Comodidad - La habitación amplia y cómoda. Excelente ubicación!!! Por la tarde al llegar al hostel queríamos tomar algo caliente. Y al pedir agua, la recepción estaba cerrada.

• Maria Cristina (7/5): Nella movida a due passi dal centro - Voglio offrire un punteggio medio a questa struttura per la posizione centralissima e la mia stanza pulita. Un plus e’ il lavabo con sapone in stanza, pur avendo il bagno condiviso. Inoltre lo staff che ci ha accolto molto gentile. Sicuramente non adatto a disabili o con problemi di deambulazione. La scala per accedere alle stanze è strettissima e molto impervia. Il bagno post doccia è un lago di acqua totale e la zona non adatta a chi vuole dormire o ha il sonno leggero, almeno la nostra stanza che affacciava accanto ad un coffee shop con gente a far casino fino a tarda notte.
• Brigitte (8/5): -
• AGUSTIN (10/5): Lugar con encanto - La ubicación es perfecta para conocer el centro de Amsterdam. Es un lugar mágico. Que la ducha de la habitación encharca mucho
• Silvia (10/5): Incantevole - Bellissima stanza. Accogliente ,eravamo in 4 siamo stati benissimo Nulla
• Ljupcho (7/5): - Comfy beds The room and view was not the same like on the pictures
• Paula (7/5): - O quarto era muito confortável e com ótima vista. O acesso ao quarto. O banho não tinha o resguardo apropriado.
• Laila (10/5): -
• Lasode65 (7/5): -
• Cyrielle (6/5): Passable pour un court séjour - L'hôtel est bien situé. La vue sur le canal depuis la chambre était parfaite. Le personnel était disponible et agréable. Les escaliers pour accéder à la chambre sont extrêmement étroits. La salle de bains est très humide. L'eau de la douche s'étale dans toute la pièce (pas de bac de douche). L'isolation n'est pas top (nous entendons les voisins et les passants dans la rue ; le froid passe à travers la fenêtre). Il n'y a pas de machine à café dans la chambre.
• Roze (9/5): -
• Nicolò (10/5): 4 notti nel centro di Amsterdam - È stato un soggiorno fantastico, camera di hotel in posizione centralissima a pochi minuti a piedi da qualunque attrazione in città. Staff gentilissimo e molto cordiale, se dovete venire ad Amsterdam e volete una camera con ottima qualità/prezzo vi consiglio assolutamente il The Veteran! .
• Andreas (1/5): Nicht empfehlenswert!!! - Einfach alles! Im Zimmer gab es überall Schimmel und es roch nicht sehr angenehm.
• Ruben (7/5): - Mi è piaciuta molto la vista dalla finestra e la posizione in cui era situata. Il fatto che la struttura era letteralmente storta
• Giorgio (6/5): Buono per un breve soggiorno tra amici - Ottima posizione, in pieno centro e praticamente affianco di Rembrandtplein. Ci sono diversi locali subito adiacenti al locale, alcuni coffee shop e altri locali che la sera si trasformano in discoteca. Accoglienza ok e check-in molto rapido. Possibilità di lasciare lì le valigie prima che la camera sia pronta. Camera sostanzialmente cieca, era presenta una finestra che però era bloccata (mancanza di maniglia per aprire/chiudere) e quindi impossibile far girare aria durante la giornata o dopo la notte. Il bagno (anch’esso cieco) non era molto pulito e il piatto doccia era intasato, abbiamo dovuto provvedere noi a liberarlo per far defluire l’acqua.

• Noah (7/5): Bien malgré tout - L’emplacement dans la ville Les toilettes et la douche dans une même pièce et hors de la chambre. Si une personne prenait sa douche, on ne pouvait pas aller aux toilettes

• Flavio (9/5): -
• Batuhan (10/5): MUHTEŞEEM - Konum olarak muhteşem Odada kişisel banyo ve tuvaletin olmaması kötü ama genel olan tuvalet ve banyo temizdi. Odamda bi kaç tane böcek gördüm bence odalara genel bir böcek ilaçlama yapılması gerekiyor
• Sheridan (10/5): - Good location Have to call to give the key. I do not have international calls
• matteo (10/5): -
• Marco (5/5): Naja. Für den Preis sehr basic. - Lage Preis/Leistung. Das Zimmer wäre absolut ok für 70 Euro, ohne Komfort und Bad und mit mittelmässiger Sauberkeit. Aber nicht für 120 Euro.

• López Toledo (8/5): Nice stay - The location is great, also the room was cozy and warm with nice views. The sink in the room was very handy We shared bathroom, there was only one, and wasn't too tidy and clean besides the stairs was too narrow
• Conti (9/5): -
• Giuseppina (9/5): strategico, comodo, ci ritornerò sicuramente! - Posizione fantastica! In circa 30 minuti puoi raggiungere qualsiasi punto di Amsterdam, anche la Stazione Centrale. Abbiamo soggiornato in una camera quadrupla,letti comodi e bagno spazioso per 4 persone.Proprio accanto c’è un ottimo coffeeshop e ad un minuto c’è un supermercato Albert Heijn.Lo consiglio per la colazione o per acquistare l’essenziale(0il cappuccino della macchinetta è sorprendentemente buono (solo 1,10 €!) e c’è anche una panetteria con brioches fresche a ottimi prezzi, soprattutto rispetto al resto della città.Le stanze si trovano su scale strette e ripide in perfetto stile Amsterdam. A noi è piaciuto, ma potrebbe essere complicato per famiglie o persone con difficoltà motorie. In quel caso, meglio parlarne con il proprietario: ci sono anche camere al piano terra.Per quanto riguarda la movida, a noi non ha dato nessun fastidio. La zona è vivace ma comunque tranquilla. Magari portatevi i tappi per le orecchie, giusto per stare sicuri.Ci tornerei sicuramente posizione super strategica e il proprietario è davvero gentile! Amazing location! You can get anywhere in Amsterdam in about 30 minutes, even Central Station. We stayed in a quadruple room,comfy beds and a spacious bathroom for 4 people.Right next door there’s a great coffeeshop,and just a minute away there’s an Albert Heijn supermarket. Highly recommend it for breakfast or essentials,the cappuccino from the machine is surprisingly good (only €1.10!) and there's a bakery inside with fresh pastries at great prices, especially compared to the rest of the city.The rooms are up steep, narrow stairs typical Amsterdam style.We had fun with it, but it might be tricky for families or people with mobility issues. If that’s the case, talk to the owner:they also have ground floor rooms.As for the nightlife, it didn’t bother us at all. The area is lively but still chill. Just in case, earplugs at night might help. I’d definitely come back here super strategic spot and the owner is really friendly! Sinceramente quello che scrivo son solo consigli per lo staff e il proprietario: avendo soggiornato per 6 giorni avrei lasciato a nostra disposizione il materiale per pulirci da soli la camera(in 4 si sporca parecchio!) e se proprio devo trovare un difetto c'era un po' di polvere, ma niente da segnalare in modo urgente!sono solo consigli per migliorarvi, nulla di più! To be honest, this is just some friendly advice for the staff and the owner: since we stayed for 6 days, it would’ve been nice to have some basic cleaning supplies in the room so we could tidy up ourselves (with 4 people, things can get messy!). If I had to point out one little flaw, there was a bit of dust here and there but nothing major or worth complaining about! Just small tips to help improve the experience, nothing more.

• Mark (8/5): We more than got what we paid for. We’ll be back - Excellent location, and great value for money. There was some work being done that shook the building, but that wasn’t their fault. To be fair the building shook when two of my fellow travellers started snoring.

• Mahim (2/5): Great location, but facility was quite poor - The location was great, but the hotel is very old and not maintained The bathroom light kept flickering, and the soap provided was of poor quality. The walls were quite thin, and no water bottles were provided in the room. There was also no fridge. The worst part, however, was the shower — the drainage was blocked, and the water took a long time to seep through.

• Frankie (8/5): Perfect location, clean, just needs a kettle in the room - The location was fantastic. If you are a smoker it’s great as it’s next door to a coffee shop There was nothing we didn’t like. It was basic and small but we just needed a place to rest our head. Only thing that was an inconvenience for us was no kettle/tea coffee for when we woke up in the mornings.
• Marco (7/5): -
• Alberto (2/5): Better to avoid - The location is very central and full of bars and restaurants. The downside is that in the evening it can be very noisy, especially on weekends, and sometimes shady people approach you offering substances – though I think this is quite common in all central areas of Amsterdam. the room is small and very dusty, with little ventilation. The blankets weren’t very clean. The bathroom is shared between several rooms and is very old, with some moldy areas. The stairs are extremely steep and uncomfortable. For the price, it’s definitely too expensive for what you get.

• Anida's Food Journey (4/5): The Sad Veteran Hostel - The Owners /Managers of this establishment were very kind. They were very helpful. It is central. If we knew it was literally situated on top of/next to Coffee Shop, we would definitely not have booked at the Veteran. Our room was on Thorbecke Square, not on Herengracht. The weed fumes filled our room all the time ...very difficult not to open your windows in the heat of summer. I also watched how other guests entered the establishment smoking weed. It was like living in weed shop. The bathroom needs a complete makeover. Really a very tired Hostel.
• Amanda (2/5): A minha pior hospedagem até hj. - O pior lugar que já me hospedei na vida ! Nem acredito que paguei 140,€ por uma diária num lugar como esse ! A localização é boa , mais o lugar é tão ruim que n dá pra ter ponto positivo! Tem escadas imensas super difíceis de subir , ainda mais com malas , por causa do peso. Perigoso até cair e morrer , sério , a experiência foi um caos ! O banheiro parece banheiro público de buteco , ainda por cima é for do quarto e é compartilhado .
• Wendell (7/5): -
• Catalina (8/5): Ubicación perfecta - La ubicación es perfecta, con vista al canal y muy cerca de bares. Buena relación calidad-precio. Buen lugar para ir solo a dormir. Buen precio. Un poco pequeña la habitación por decir algo, y el desagüe de la ducha un poco lento. Tiene una pequeña escalera empinada y poco espacio para ingresar pero nada grave. Lo demás favorable
• Anna (7/5): Camera grande ma poco pulita - La posizione centrale è comoda con i mezzi Non era pulito
• Jitka (5/5): - lokalita super room 2 : plíseň v koupelně, slabá wi-fi, velký hluk v noci z okolí
• fiasco (7/5): Week end - La posizione della struttura era molto comoda per raggiungere velocemente il centro La mancanza dello staff quando ne avevo bisogno

• Mark (1/5): Absolutely terrible AVOID - The location was good, near the areas I wanted to be around The hotel itself is awful, I do not recommend cost us £381 for 3 nights and was bitten by bed bugs and the room unclean and bed speaks for itself with having bed bugs in it and being bitten all over!

• Fatih (9/5): Superb - Good location, clean room, hor room temperature (for cold season)

Very good for a group of friends. The stairs to get up are very steep, my friend fell down the stairs. So i do not recommend this place for elderly.
• Cillian (8/5): Very good -
• Katie (10/5): lovely place to stay - it was clean and tidy, nice location to everything we needed. hotel manager was very friendly and very understanding when we had to call because we left it on the table by mistake the stairs was a little hard for me to walk up
