Pros:

La propreté

Cons:

La porte qui s’ouvre en pleine nuit par un inconnu alors qu’il est sensé y avoir un système de carte personnelle, mais aussi l’amabilité du personnel qui laisse à désirer…

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Nous avons séjourner ici avec des amis, la chambre venait d'être finis donc toute neuve, l'équipement était parfait. La localisation de l'hébergement est parfaite et sécurisé au milieu de tout. Des restaurants sont disponible en bas de l'hébergement et le personnel a été super avec nous!

Cons:

L'hébergement était encore en travaux quand on est arrivée donc un peu bruyant la journée, on était également au dernier étage donc beaucoup d'escalier mais c'est normal à Amsterdam.

Extremely steep stairs, not suitable for people who can’t hike. But extremely good location close to central station.
Pros:

The rooms were clean, the promiximity to central station at this price was unbeatable.

Cons:

Extremely steep stairs, we were given 3rd floor but since we had one person with a knee injury we could not have taken the room. We requested for a floor but wasn’t provided one. Later we were given an option to upgrade from a quadruple room to a family room, by paying 160€ per night… so a total of 320€ on top of the 270€ we had already paid. Later the staff adjusted the amount as 160 additional for both nights.. so we technically paid 430€ for 4 people for 2 nights.

The accommodation also charges a deposit of 100€, but it was promptly reverted back during check out. But still it was a surprise and it would be good to know this in advance rather than at the property reception desk.

Ottima posizione per girare Amsterdam senza mezzi
Pros:

Ottima posizione. Camera piccola ma sufficiente per i nostri bisogni. Bagno esterno in comune sempre pulito.

Cons:

Unica pecca: un angolo di un piumone era macchiato sebbene pulitissimo.

清潔でリーズナブル。立地が良い。
Pros:

アムステルダム中央駅からすぐなので立地が便利。部屋にトイレとシャワーがついている。他に比べて価格が10月末1泊22000円程度と安い。スモールシングルなので最上階の屋根裏のような形の部屋。エアコン効いて、清潔。ベッドも悪くない。お湯もしっかり熱い。タオルもある。チェックアウト後も荷物を快く預かってくれた。

Cons:

ハンドソープと、なぜかボディ&シャンプー兼用のみ。もちろん歯ブラシなどのアメニティはなし。部屋にケトルや飲み物もなし。朝食もなし。部屋が結構コンパクトで寛ぐのは無理。そして禁煙。荷物はないけど急な階段のみで4階なので、部屋にもどるのがキツイ。

Can’t believe just how many steps there are and how steep they are! Probably shouldn’t have been surprised but I was!
