Pros:

This was an excellent value for my stay. It’s a short walk (4 minutes) to the more touristy areas. Super accessible to trams. The room was a bit small - but I was alone and had no issues.
My one area of concern was the shower floor wasn’t separate from the rest of the bathroom - and there was no slope - so water got everywhere in the bathroom. Also - no ledge or shelf to put soap/shampoo in the shower. Lastly, the shower head in the ceiling didn’t work - but the handheld wand did - and the water was nice & hot. I would stay again - it’s so convenient & really got a great price.

Pros:

The shower head in the room could use descaling. The output was very poor from the ceiling shower head. The handheld one was great.

The bed topper was thin, but wasn’t unbearable. For a solo trip, great option. Would stay again. Great price for the area.

Pros:

Good location. Poorly lit room, bathroom design silly, with the loo situated halfway under the wash basin. No shelves to put your toothbrush and cosmetics on. Lots of dust and debris between mattress and headboard!
Sarah (not the owner) very helpful and friendly receptionist.

Pros:

Very close to area we wanted to be. Room was quite small but functional. Bathroom shower needs some attention - water goes everywhere from rainfall shower head and right out under bathroom door. There is no lip on shower stall to hold back the water.

Great location, helpful staff
Pros:

Another excellent stay at Sara. Very friendly, helpful staff, great location close to museum quarter. Single room was spacious by Amsterdam standards. Only drawback was unusually uncomfortable mattress which resulted in a disrupted sleep on first night. Management may wish to invest in new mattresses. But, overall, very positive experience on my fifth or sixth stay in Sara Boutique hotel.

Pros:

The location of the property is perfect. Easy to walk to the center or to the west and it’s right next to one of the best parks in Amsterdam, Vondelpark. The room I had was spacious and the staff were very helpful.

Great location but room needs an upgrade!
Pros:

We stayed for a couple of nights and whilst the location was great it was not a pleasant room to stay in. From the broken toilet seat and dirty bowl, to the stained bedsheets and towels, the room needed a much needed clean and upgrade to the dusty, old and stained furniture. The room could benefit from a mini fridge, basic shower amenities and better sound proofing. We could hear outside very clearly with noisy people until the early hours of the morning and neighbours too. Worth mentioning the stairs are incredibly steep and the lift very slow so not a safe option for navigating even when the fire alarm went off at 9am and we were on the top floor!

Pros:

Very beat up, neglected building, door handle broken, restroom door broken too. Blankets and pillows are stained. Could be so much better if they would put a little bit of effort. Was not clean enough. You can get better options at this price.

Pros:

Advertised with AC but there was none. We’re 78 years old and the elevator was non functioning when leaving the 4th floor. The stairway was extremely steep and narrow for older people. An enormous mouse, or small rat was found in front of one door. The location was very good however.

Pros:

Found broken pieces of glass in my room. No fan or A/C made it very uncomfortable to stay in, especially when trying to sleep. The floor was rough and uncomfortable. Couldn’t get a cold shower running, it always went hot, which was quite bad given the weather. Wifi was horrible and didn’t work most of the time
