Yes the room was clean, the staff were very helpful, but the big attraction was the very central location.

Everything was great for me! And when my bank in America shut my card off, the staff let me stay in the bar using the phone to fix my issues! They were great!

Right in the middle of everything. Great location! Read a lot of negative things about this hotel. But you can't book a 1 star hotel and expect 5 star service. I will say that my room when I arrived was not cleaned but the hotel sorted this out straight away and let me have a temporary room for the night until I got the room I had booked. The staff were very friendly and they made the experience very good.

best value for your money, not looking for a 5 star hotel, just a clean safe place to get some sleep and freshen up. They have a nice breakfast included in the morning and the bar is open 24/7. Location is right in the middle of all the action. Have been here before and will come again

Solo teaveller dream spot
Great location for solo travellers. The stairs are small and twisty so don’t bring large luggage or heavy ones to this location.

In the heart of the redlight!
The place was the best trip to the redlight yet, this hotel is located right in the middle of all the action, you can leave the window open and hear the festive atmosphere all night. Literally next to some of the best windows the district has to offer and right across the canal from Casa Rosso. Bar downstairs in open 24/7. Rooms are what you can expect in the RLD, it's part of the charm. Includes breakfast in the morning. I miss it already.

Walkable to Central Station (850m). Convenient to all kinds of restaurants. Staffs are friendly and approachable. They provide you with advice for visiting Amsterdam. Breakfast is good.
It's hot in the hallway and room, but you can open the window during the night to cool it down a little bit. Shared bathroom and restrooms are really tight. Stairs are steep for big luggage.
Overall, worth the budget for a place you want to visit.

Located in the red light district, the atmosphere is not ideal for staying. The room was small and located in the attic. There was no lift, and the narrow stairs made it hard to bring up and down luggage. However, the staff was nice.

Discomforts and Inadequacies Abound
Very basic rooms in a fun location in the heart of the red light district. While I knew the rooms would be basic before I arrived, I had no idea how indifferent management was to basic bathroom design (overflowing drains, shower curtains stapled to stay up, mold due to total non ventilation). Beside the bartenders on the ground level, there was no one in charge. The room got major afternoon sun and only one broken fan was available to circulate air.

I have mixed feelings about our stay. The staff was very nice. They made us feel welcome and safe as two females traveling alone. The street noise was very loyd until around 3 am nightly. Saturday night was particularly bad. However, this is to be expected in this area. The room wasn't posh or luxury by any means and could probably use a deep clean/paint job. There was no noise from within the hotel. We really appreciated the breakfast as it was one meal we didn’t have to worry about in the day. Overall the stat got the job done for a quick European jaunt. Id recommend to a night or two stay and for those that are looking for a party in the red light district. If you are looking for luxury and comfort this is not the place for you. Thank you to the kind and friendly staff!

DO NOT stay here if you want a good night’s SLEEP
On the plus side, the reception/bar staff were friendly. Also a fan was provided in the room.
On the minus side, the room was small, had a shared bathroom and toilet and the promised toiletries amounted to one small bottle of body wash - for my entire three nights. The decor was dated and the shelf inside the wardrobe was stained. The television was minuscule and placed at the head of the bed, making it impossible to view when in bed.
The main problem is the constant noise. I knew the “hotel” was in the Red Light District, so was expecting noise outside, and in fairness the windows blocked out most of it. It was the noise inside the hotel that ensured I did not have one good night’s sleep. The rooms are so crammed together that anyone entering a room is going to disturb neighbouring occupants as there is no way of closing the doors quietly. As a result I was woken throughout the night and every morning at around 07:30 by multiple banging doors. On my final day the cleaning staff appeared to have started at around 08:00 adding to the noise preventing anyone from sleeping in.
The “hotel” is more suited to be a hostel for backpackers. I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting a decent night’s sleep.

Quick stay in central AMS.
Central location, easy to get to. 10 minute walk from AMS Central station. There is also Nieuwmarkt Subway about 3-4 min walk that can take you to AMS Central or AMS Airport. There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. There is also a supermarket, Albert Heijn, which has the best prices for food and drinks on the next street over. Hotel wise, it is not the best, the plumbing had slight issues in the room, in-room sink would make a noise and drain slowly. Showers and bathrooms are shared and were clean. They are for men.women. The stairs are like all AMS hotels, they are steep, not recommended if you carry large luggage. We do fine as we only carry one bag/light. They have free breakfast, not fantastic, but great since everything costs money in AMS. Bar is open with beer and liquor. Plenty of people stop by for drinks and to chat with, very entertaining to people watch. Room has heater. Room was stuffy, but opening windows helped. This stay was for getting rest and ending our trip to catch a flight. Place felt safe, staff checks who enters hotel. We saw single women, couples stay at hotel. Most were ok with their stay. Staff were good to talk to and gave local info/transportation help. It was great location to have access to bathroom near the city center.
