Pros:

They lie and make your pay an extra 70 euros if you have 2 people even though on the listing on booking.com it says the price is for 2 people. I booked and paid for a single bed and they gave me 3 smaller beds in one room that were horrible. The Stairs going up to the rooms smells very bad of urine. The staff is extremely rude and make up rules that are not listed anywhere when you book. There was a group of guys that were very drunk and loud slamming doors and yelling the walls are so thin you can hear everything and when I told the staff that was working over night they didn’t do anything about it.

Excellent location and beautifully appointed rooms
Pros:

This hotel has a fantastic location. Easy to get almost anywhere either by foot or by street car. We loved the cozy breakfast and our family size room with lift was beautiful and the perfect size for our family of 5.

Cons:

Maybe a few more hot breakfast options would have been nice.

Pros:

We loved the location and the character of the building. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

We were at the top of the building with a lot of steep stairs. It wasn't a problem for us, but it wouldn't suit everyone.

Buon 3 stelle in Posizione super ma un pò sporco .
Pros:

Posizione super per visitare amsterdam a piedi .
Struttura tipica molto caratteristica
Receptionist eccezionali simpaticissime disponibili
Colazione discreta ma non super
Per un 3 stelle + che buono

Cons:

Camera sporca , sotto i letti molta polvere , la camera puzza di moquette sporca suggerisco di pulire i gradini della scala . Nonostante la camera familiare sia carina soppalcata però non mi sembrava i 30 mq e passa che dichiarano , molto tetra con tetto di 2mt appena .
In generale la struttura è vecchia sporca con vecchia moquette alle scale e con gradini invisibili .

Alloggio super comodo per visitare a piedi la città, personale super cordiale!
Pros:

Semplicemente i letti sono un pò morbidi per i miei standard, ma direi che è una cosa soggettiva. Il resto tutto ottimo

Cons:

Nulla
