Guest Reviews
- Peter (1/5): Bettwanzen! - Zentrale Lage Bis auf die Lage, leider keine Weiterempfehlung. Bettwanzen!!! Ich war dort vom 22. - 23.05.2026 und es krabbelten Bettwanzen auf der Decke. Ich kann das Hotel deshalb aktuell auf keinen Fall empfehlen! Wer es gerade gebucht hat, sollte umbuchen.
- Bharti (7/5): -
- Matthieu (8/5): - L’emplacement, la sympathie du réceptionniste, les matelas confortable, hôtel calme malgré le quartier plutôt animé
- Tatiana (8/5): Agradável - O atendimento foi ótimo! Chegamos antes do horário do check in e pudemos deixar as malas na recepção e no dia do check out também. O quarto é pequeno, mas tem várias prateleiras e apoio para as malas. A localização é ótima! Fomos no final do inverno e o aquecedor do quarto funcionou muito bem. Limpeza impecável.
- ivars nules (8/5): - Limpio y muy bien ubicado frente a Estación Central Habitaciones pequeñas
- Valentina (10/5): - The staff was super nice and kind!. The room was small but comfortable.
We will return!.
- Samantha (4/5): Many let downs despite convenient location. - Convenient location being close to the train station. Although it was close to the train station, it was situated on the edge of the red light district, no sound proofing meant you could hear partying until the early hours of the morning and hear people in the neighbouring rooms very clearly - if you’re wanting to get a good nights sleep I would look elsewhere. Also, as a solo traveller I booked a single room, however it was tiny. Think broom closet turned bedroom. Definitely not worth the price.
- Rocco (7/5): -
- Olha (7/5): -
- Gary (8/5): -
- Jamie (8/5): - Was perfect Was good right in the centre of town
- EHFts (4/5): Não recomendo! Quarto barulhento e com acesso difícil - Em boa .localização. o quarto estava limpo. Recepção é o balcão de um bar. Escadaria é muito estreita, não passa com mala, só mochila ou mala de mão, com dificuldade, pois é em curva, só o primeiro lance é reto. Quarto com mínimo espaço, sem vedação, estava frio e MUITO BARULHENTO! CHUVEIRO SEM SUPORTE, BANHO SÓ DE MANGUEIRINHA!
- Ernest (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente, justo enfrente de la Estación Central y cerca del barrio rojo. Tienen un pub muy auténtico. Nos guardaron las maletas antes del check-in y después del check-out.
- Mohamed Amir (10/5): Excellent - Emplacement propreté service Rien
- Daniela (8/5): - Super Lage. Kleines chices Zimmer Sehr hellhörig
- Faisal (10/5): It was excellent stay - Location , it was 5-6 minutes walk from central station Amsterdam Location
- Gregory (10/5): -
- Nonna (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): -
- Kane (8/5): Quick regroup in Amsterdam. - Great location near station central for early morning train. Comfy bed. Didn't like the yelling on the street outside our window until 3 am. Couldn't be helped.
- Hanane (4/5): Trop cher pour ce que s’est - Dans le centre, pratique , proche de tout Rien à voir avec l’image
- Jeff- (8/5): -
- Youkie (10/5): -
- Thiery (8/5): -
- Damian (10/5): - Location was great so close to everything, rooms were small but space was used well. Rooms kept very clean.
- John (9/5): A casual and warm atmosphere that suited me very nicely. - Lobby/Pub/check-in was great. Mike in particular went out of his way to ensure my kit got up the stairs and that my pub visit was a blast. Down to earth and very friendly place. Then shower was hot and the bathrooms sparkling clean. The stairs are steep and typical of these older buildings, but the staff will help haul your kit past the Khumba Ice-field!
- William (10/5): - Everything, staff, room, bar were all great! Not applicable
- Yvo (10/5): Cozy room with excellent view in top location - The room, the view, the price the location For me it was not a problem but the 4th flour means some stairs to climb
- Karoly (8/5): -
- Jonathan (7/5): Standard hotel, good location - but a bit noisy - Location is very central, I suspect noisy on the weekend. Room is small, but just enough space. Bathroom recently refurbished. I did not get any response from the hotel on a couple of queries I had. It is a bit noisy with people up and down the stairs
- Shelly (10/5): -
- JoAnn (8/5): Our stay was short and sweet - We liked the location There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
- laurence (8/5): - L'emplacement en plein centre et près de la gare .quartier très animé.
Le confort des lits. Un peu bruyant la nuit car on était au rez-de-chaussée.
- Pett (8/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Ideal for what I was needing. Clean room and near public transport. Would stay again. - Central for getting everything.
- Liza Claire (10/5): Excellent! - It’s close to everything , it’s central and a clean hotel . Just the stairs , but it’s fine .
- Liam (10/5): -
- Riley (7/5): Amazing location, ideal for one night stay - Location was perfect! In the centre of the city, literally like 2 minutes walk from the central train station and could walk anywhere in the city. Near the tram stops too! Overall good for city breaks. The rooms were quite small and the bed setup was a bit weird for a double room, but it was really cheap so got what I expected! I would definitely recommend if you are staying for a day or two as we were only in the hotel room to sleep for one night.
- Maria Giuseppina (1/5): Un incubo!!! - Perfetta per vicinanza alla stazione ed al centro. Non fidatevi delle foto che vedete!!! Struttura pessima e caratterizzata da cattivo odore ovunque. Abbiamo pagato per due notti quasi 800 euro ma abbiamo trovato un buco a mo' di tugurio. Nulla che corrispondesse alle foto viste al momento della prenotazione!! Letti piccoli, scomodi e spartani. Nessun armadio, solo gruccette per appendere un paio di cappotti, tende strappate, muri sporchi e con pezzi di intonaco mancanti, niente aria condizionata. Per nn parlare del bagno, un buco nauseabondo dove anche sedersi al wc risultava impossibile perché nn c' era lo spazio sufficiente. Specchio piccolissimo e montato altissimo su una parete obliqua, mensole sul lavandino sotto le quali si rischiava di sbattere, il rubinetto era praticamente attaccato al lavabo, altro che lavarsi le mani, quindi!!! Senza contare le scale, sapevamo che nn aveva ascensore ma nn che le 4 rampe di scale erano quasi a chiocciola con gradini strettissimi... pericolo davvero!! Finestre che nn si aprivano bene e dovendo applicare anche una forza immane.... sconsigliatissimo e da evitare, sono truffatori!!!
- Sandrine (7/5): Chambre pratique et confortable - Emplacement propreté et confort Pas de débit dans la douche et parois de douche plus que faible.
- Dvorianchykova (10/5): - Хороший персонал, число, уютно, кровати удобные. Важно близко к ж/д.вокзалу
- Maimouzan (3/5): Mon séjour à été horrible - Honnêtement rien Il y'avait beaucoup de bruit dehors. Il y'avait des cheuveux sur mon lit. Ma chambre n'était pas comme sur les photos. Il n'y a pas de restauration. La réception se trouve dans un bar.
- Liam (1/5): Best Avoid - The location is excellent The photos are not true to reality. The single room was the size of 3 coffins and as about as charming. It was hot as hell, a sweatbox with condensation stains on the walls. The window was propped open with a toilet roll. A cynical establishment - happy to charge a lot for a room for SFA effort or care.
- Franziska (8/5): Würde es wieder buchen Hat ne schöne Bar unten drin und ist umgeben von feinen Restaurants ruhig un - Super Lage.
Das Einzelzimner war sehr klein, aber für 1 Nacht ok.
- Brian (8/5): Great location for everything. Busy area with lots going on. - Nice clean room with shower. Short walk from train station, also close to cafes and shops. So location could not be more central. Noise outside the hotel from discos and people drinking, was very loud making sleep very difficult as this went on well into the early hours.
- Cinzia (8/5): - Posizione centrale
- Kelvin Alejandro (1/5): - Letto abbastanza comodo La puzza di fogna proveniente dal bagno,lavandino minuscolo.Il rumore dalla strada.Staff inesistente
- Natalia (7/5): - Апартаменты в центре. Очень удобное местоположение. В душе сток не почищен. Из-за этого вода в душе всё время поднималась. Комната очень узкая
- Irem (2/5): -
- Joan (8/5): -
- Stefaan (4/5): Never again - Tv in onmogelijke positie. Afstandsbediening kapot. Douche zonder straal. Geen nooduitgang igv brand
- Genevieve (7/5): Great location for the last night in Amsterdam - Very close to Amsterdam Centraal Stairs are steep! But I did know ahead of time, so requested a room on the lowest floor.
- Matthias (5/5): - Zentrale Lage, mitten in der City Sehr kleines, spartanisch ausgestattetes Zimmer mit 2x3m
- Xavier (8/5): - The size of the room
Location
The pub just underneath it The hefty stairs
No sort of kettle or fridge available
- Lapslie (8/5): -
- Podshibyakin (2/5): -
- BARREAU (9/5): - Hôtel bien situé et très bon accueil Attention il y a un bar en face
- Y (7/5): -
- Marina (5/5): - Hay demasiado ruido fuera, al final hay dos karaokes en frente... Y había algunas manchas, por ejemplo, en el cabecero de la cama.
- Yaara (1/5): NEVER AGAIN - לא היתה ארוחת בוקר...
מיקום די מרכזי. מתאים לצעירים שרוצים לבלות. הכניסה אל "המלון", אינה ברורה ואינה הולמת. נכנסים דרך בר, שבו יושבים גברים ושותים.
מאחר ולא רציתי ללון בקומה שלישית בגלל המדרגות, הועברתי למבנה אחר.
המדרגות תלולות (ידעתי זאת והסתדרתי עם התלילות), אבל בקצה העליון, יש סיבוב, שבו המדרגות הולכות ונעשות צרות, אין מעקה להחזיק. הרגשתי מאד לא בטוחה ופשוט פחדתי. עבורי זה היה סיוט.
- Markus (10/5): -
- Irina (10/5): -
- Anabel (8/5): Séjour agréable - Hôtel proche de la gare et centre ville,
Lits très confortables, petit chambre comme sur la description, si voisins bruyants cela peut être problématique ( sur 4 nuits, 1 réveil en pleine nuit)
Dommage qu’on ne puisse régler le chauffage, donc pas de chauffage pour nous. Chauffage
- Laurentiu (10/5): -
- Yenifer (10/5): -
- Jan (5/5): Decent enough for one night - Friendly staff Very small room, window didn’t close
- Andrew (7/5): -
- Niklas (6/5): -
- Marlies (8/5): Faciliteiten prima, maar teveel straatgeluiden en - geuren. - Niet iets wat er uit sprong. Het was op zich allemaal oké. We sliepen aan de straatkant. De ramen van enkelglas en de kieren tussen de kozijnen, waardoor geluid en geuren (wietrook) dermate intens de kamer binnen kwam alsof we alle ramen open hadden gezet.
We hadden ons voorbereid op rumoer van buiten, maar dit was té. Vooral omdat er wat aan gedaan kan worden door dubbel glas te plaatsen en de open kieren te dichten.
- Pietro (8/5): Ottimo per un week end ad Amsterdam - Posizione Stanza un po piccola
- Aki_Helena (8/5): -
- Krzysztof (9/5): Polecam polecam polecam - Zaangażowanie pracowników było na wysokim poziomie i ta kawa z rumem jak za młodych lat na środku Pacyfiku. A do tego kajuta czysta a koja mała jak na naszym rejsie z Robinson Crusoe Island do Antofagast w Chile. Łza w oku… Okna …
- Colin (9/5): Old nickel hotel in April 26 - The staff were very attentive and very helpful The stairs are narrow and steep, but for a short stay it is doable
- Morgane (8/5): Simple mais efficace - Très très bien localisé ! Notre chambre était pour 3 personnes mais extrêmement petit. La localisation était parfaite mais pour la qualité et la taille de la chambre, le prix était très élevé.
- Manuela (7/5): -
- sophio (8/5): -
- Carlton (3/5): Unbelievably small room, loud street, no AC - I guess the location was okay, and the staff were very kind. First of all, I've never stayed in a smaller room in my entire life. It was smaller than a walk-in closet, I am not exaggerating and have pictures to back it up. I looked at the floor plan, and of the three rooms per floor, I was in the very smallest, I had no idea it would be that small or I would have never rented the room. Also it was on a very loud street and there was no AC so the windows had to be open even in April, and the noise was deafening at times and cigarette and pot smoke came into the room continuously. I had to put headphones on in able to sleep.
- Tobias (4/5): - Personal freundlich und gut erreichbar Laute Lage direkt an einer Touristen-Straße. Fenster kaputt und musste mit einem Stock festgeklemmt werden. Haare auf der Bettdecke. Unklar, wo die Rezeption war.
- Adeline (7/5): Une nuit sur Amsterdam - Emplacement
Prix
Accueil Odeurs désagréables dans la salle de bain
Traces
D humidité sur les murs
Fenêtres peu isolées (donc on entend beaucoup la rue....même si cela ne m'a pas empêchee de dormir)
- Danjela (10/5): -
- Lucille (8/5): -
- Judy (6/5): Good location but not recommended if you stay for one night - Location good but noisy . Lack of space .
- Eddy168 (4/5): To reconsider - Location, proximity to train station, nice reception personnel. An extremely small room with very outdated amenities charging extremely high prices for what can be described as a storage size room in an old building no elevator. The noise coming from the rowdy drinkers outside on the street kept me awake well into the night.

- Darren (9/5): - Frank! Michael and the gang were amazing! Great location, I will definitely be going back there! They have the best beer selection in town, 60+ amazing beers to choose from. Frank is very knowledgeable about the selection, so go down and see them. 60 beers on tap! 70 would have been better
- Zhulian (8/5): -
- Laura (8/5): Essenziale, posizione perfetta e centrale - Posizione centralissima, molto comodo per raggiungere le varie attrazioni principali.
La nostra camera era piccola e stretta ma nel complesso ci siamo trovati molto bene! La camera era dotata solo di due asciugamani, mancava il tappeto per la doccia.
