Guest Reviews
- Emanuela (5/5): - La posizione,era molto vicino al centro della città e ben collegato alla fermata autobus per spostarsi in aereoporto Poca pulizia e una scala strettissima per arrivare in stanza bisognava piegare la testa
- Likoudi (1/5): - Ήταν πολύ βρώμικο.τα σεντονια και οι μαξιλαροθήκη είχαν αίματα.επισης ήταν ασιδερωτα .Στο κρεβάτι υπήρχαν κάτι μαύρα Ζουζούνια!Κάτι τσίμπησε την κόρη μου στο μπούτι και έκανε φουσκαλα. Επίσης οι σκάλες για τον τρίτο όροφο ήταν πάρα πολύ απότομες και πολύ στενές!!Παιδευτικαμε πολύ να βρούμε το διαμέρισμα καθώς ο διαχειριστής του δεν μας έδινε την διευθυνση ούτε και μας έστελνε πινέζα για να ξέρουμε που να πάμε. Επίσης στην αρχή ήταν ευγενικός όταν όμως του είπαμε ότι το κατάλυμα δεν φαινόταν έτσι στις φωτογραφίες και ότι ήταν βρώμικο νευρίασε πάρα πολύ και άρχισε να φωνάζει!!Όταν δε του είπαμε ότι θα φύγουμε φώναζε ακόμη περισσότερο!!Ήταν αγενεστατος!!

- Erika (9/5): - The location is very good, close to everything. The room has everything you need. The smell in the bathroom that others were talking in their reviews is really present.
- Clarissa Ribeiro (9/5): Foi ótimo! - Localização ótima, muito perto de vários pontos turísticos. O Sr Chong foi muito atencioso. A acomodação estava bem limpa e era muito confortável. A escada que leva ao quarto é grande e íngreme, mas para nós não foi um problema, valeu muito pelo custo benefício. LGBT+ Friendly Minha única sugestão é que os hosts avaliem o mau cheiro que eventualmente sai do ralo do banheiro

- Amelia (3/5): -
- Eirini (10/5): - The room was really value for money specially for those days of ADE festival.
Mr Chong was extraordinary and kind with us.
Hope to see you soon
- Julie (8/5): Perfect location. Good value for Amsterdam if you’re not too fussy about luxury and steep stairs!! - The location is perfect, just outside of the main centre but easy walking to all the main areas. Tram stops close by too. Plenty of supermarkets close by.
The bed was comfortable and the apartment was warm.
The host was lovely and welcoming, even brought us some beers on the first night.
Lovely to see wild parakeets in the tree from the back windows.
We felt safe. Perfect for us. The apartment is dated and could do with some redecoration. The bathroom has a nasty odour but probably because the building is older, no fault of the host. Kitchen could do with a refresh and few more utensils/some bowls.
- Maria (10/5): Repetiría - Todo fue genial, buena ubicación, supermercados cerca, apartamento bonito, cómodo y acogedor.
El alojamiento ofrece entre otras cosas: toallas, papel higiénico, wifi, gel, jabón para los platos, café, té, ventilador y calefactor.
Chong fue muy agradable Lo único, las almohadas. Para mi no fueron cómodas, pero para mi pareja si. Quizás sea algo de gustos.
- Viladegut calvo (7/5): - Su ubicación Escaleras
- Maya (10/5): - I highly recommend staying at Frank & Chong's
The room is very big and very clean. The kitchen is clean and has everything. There is always hot water in the shower. The room is located in a great area, within walking distance of all the attractions of the city.
Mr. Chong is a very nice person, the stairs at the entrance are narrow and he helps lift the luggage. Always available to his guests. We would definitely love to come back again. The stairs are narrow
- Daniel (7/5): El piso está bien, pero es cutrillo para lo que podría ser. - La ubicación es muy buena. El trato con el dueño y en el checkin fue muy amable y nos guardó las maletas. De la ducha sale agua caliente, que se agradece. El piso en sí tiene potencial pero la reforma es muy cutre. La limpieza podría ser mejor también. No te metes a la cama muy cómodo por cómo es el piso en general. La cocina podría tener unos fuegos para cocinar.
- mishka (8/5): Value for money with best location - Good apartment in the city center with windows into country yard to spend a long weekend in Amsterdam. A lot of nice places and sights around. Spacious room. private bathroom, a lot of sunlight. The host is very friendly and ready to help. Definitely recommend this place to stay! Old building (I love them, but for someone it can be tough), a bit dusty.
- Ilson Claro (6/5): -
- Ana Belén (1/5): Pésimo - El anfitrión es amable y la ubicación no es mala Todo sucio, mal olor, sobre todo en el wc. Escaleras impracticables,una odisea para subir y bajar la maleta. Sin aire acondicionado,las ventanas de la habitación no se pueden abrir ,la cocina...sin comentarios.No lo han limpiado hace tiempo.Una estancia bastante desagradable en general,no lo recomiendo.
- alex_esp27 (10/5): - La atención del casero, responde rápidamente frente a cualquier duda o necesitar algo como un paraguas por si te llueve. Todo perfecto, tened en cuenta que todas las casas de Ámsterdam tienen escaleras muy empinadas.
- Olivia (8/5): Well located and comfortable - Chong was a really great host - responsive, kind and accomodating. The property was really large, well located, and very quiet for Amsterdam. Shower pressure was good and the hot water was quick! These are only minor concerns but still worth mentioning: 1) the stairs up to the accommodation are STEEP, narrow and long. I was only travelling with a backpack so it was fine for me but it would be very difficult to get a suitcase up there! 2) the bathroom is old and appears probably more dirty than it really is… a good deep clean would be a good idea; 3) the bedding needs replacing - the sheets are pilling and thus are quite scratchy on the skin.
- Roxana Servidio (10/5): Nice and short stay at franks place - Frank was a really sweet house owner, super warm, and really forward to help in anything we need.
No complaints at all, the room was huge, with really good natural light and really quiet, even though it was really good located near the city center.
If ever in Amsterdam again, i'll love to stay here again!
- Javier (5/5): Buena atención pero necesita limpieza - La ubicación es muy buena. La atención prestada por el dueño del alojamiento. La habitación y el baño no estaban muy limpios. Había algunas hormigas y la ducha estaba muy sucia.
- Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
- Divjot (9/5): It was really comfortable and the hosts are really flexible with checkin and also let me leave my luggage after checkout - Ease of transport and accessibility to main attractions.
Spacious Could have given some basic toiletries
- Gokhan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oğuzcan (4/5): We couldn’t get rest it was so cold and smelly - Location Smelly bathroom, living room and cold.
- Erick (10/5): Perfect Location and very cozy and beautiful place - Attention Please!!
I was positively surprised by this accommodation. Mr. Chong is very respectful and caring, he was completely available to help us and was very attentive in helping us get from the airport directly to the hotel (the best option is the bus that leaves directly from the airport and stops on the street above).
The location is excellent, perfect, it's outside the center and away from the hustle and bustle, but it's very close to the center - within 3 minutes walking you reach the canals, and in up to 40 minutes walking you can cross to the Red Light District. 8 minutes walk to the Rijkmuseum anda Van Gogh Museum.
The accommodation is very cozy, it's a typically European building, with a staircase that's intimidating at first, but later becomes fun to climb up and down, the bed is good, the room is beautiful... you can trust this place. Would come back again! My only reservation is that the bathroom had a very peculiar musty smell, which becomes more noticeable with the shower steam, but nothing that a combination of cleaning products and a good monthly cleaning behind the shower box wouldn't solve. This wasn't really a problem at any point, but I'm just mentioning it to show that the room was so perfect that this minor detail is the only negative point I could find.

- Marco (8/5): Very good - The host is very kind and always available. The room is larger than others in Amsterdam! Cool.
- Wendy (8/5): Very good -
- Sarah (7/5): Good location, close to supermarket which was useful. The owner was lovely, helping us carry our bag up the stairs and o -
- Piotr (5/5): OK for few days - Good location, good price and that's it. The toilet needs a major renovation, there is an odor coming from the sewer system.
- Ben (9/5): Great value stay! Would happily stay again. - Great location!
- Coral (10/5): Exceptional - Chong was very nice and welcoming
- Alyssa (8/5): Great location and private room - Great private room, spacious and comfortable. Bed was comfortable and kitchen facilities were good. The host was lovely, let us check in early and check out late. The location is perfect, too. I’d definitely book again, the value for money is amazing Bathroom smelled a bit musty, but that could just be the storm water drain outside, I’m not sure. It also would’ve been nice to have some water on arrival, but no big issue. Just beware this property isn’t disability friendly - the stairs are extremely steep, and there are lots of them
- Lauren (10/5): We loved this location and would definitely stay here again. Hosts were lovely and so helpful. - Location Plumbing
- Sheryl (7/5): Good price and great location. - The location was great. Very central and close to many of Amsterdams main attractions. The price was good and the room was large. Chong was our host and he was very helpful. He was also easy to contact. He also helped to bring our bags up the three floors as there are no lifts. The property could do with a minor renovation and some repairs. It could be amazing with a bit of work but that may also lead to higher costs for the accommodation. The staircase is very steep and there are no lifts so pack lightly.
- Harry (9/5): I had a brilliant time - The accomodation was exactly what it claimed to be, and the host was brilliant I didn’t like that I spent so little time In Amsterdam
- Torres (9/5): Superb -
- Graham (10/5): Great stay at Frank's and Chong's - Lovely little apartment with everything you need. Host was absolutely fantastic and so friendly
- Antonios (8/5): Very good - Near the city center with a lovely host and affordable price. The general issue with all the old houses in the Amsterdam city center is the steep staircase that is not recommended for people with limited mobility.
- Jaimee (8/5): Very good -
- Suraj (9/5): Superb -
- Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennie (9/5): Quiet place at night which was lovely. - The location was great! The shower was super with no problem re hot water etc The pillows! I am very fussy re pillows and forgot to take one! There was an odour in the kitchen which was unpleasant. Think someone must have cooked something and the place needed airing.
- Bertemes (9/5): Superb -
- Aino-maria (9/5): Superb - We liked the space there were ants that came through a window :)
- Traveler1 (9/5): Really nice location and accommodating host - Great location, good size apartment. The host is very responsive, accommodating and nice to deal with. For most this wouldn't be a problem, but if you have some physical restrains or lots of luggage you have to be aware that there are 55 narrow stairs leading to the apartment.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrianna (10/5): good location! nice room! - The room was spacious. Quite nice equipment. The location is perfect. You can go almost everywhere on your feet. Everything was great!
