Para una o dos noches si solo vas a dormir
Pros:

Los baños solían estar bastante limpios y la ubicación era excelente

Cons:

La habitación tenía las paredes sucias, los muebles eran muy antiguos y se iban de lado a lado, las escaleras eran las típicas inclinadas de Ámsterdam, pero en algunos tramos los barrotes estaban rotos y era todo en general super antiguo

Camere sporche, letti e lenzuola imbarazzanti. Bagno pessimo con doccia senza cabina, bagno senza asciugamani.
Rampa molto ripida di scale per arrivare alle camere e porta d'ingresso della camera rotta(non si poteva chiudere a chiave facilmente)

Pros:

The hotel is in a good location. The hotel and facilities were as expected for the price, reminded me of my old student digs days! It was quite clear in the hotel's description that the toilet facilities were shared and there were steep stairs, so I was prepared for both, unlike some reveiwers!

My room was very very small, however no problem for me as I had only a backpack and it was only a stopover stay. The room and bed linen were clean.

If you are looking for a central, cheap accommodation, do not mind sharing facilities and tackling steep narrow stairs, and you are travelling light, I would recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Staff did try to change my booking when we arrived, from two single rooms to a twin room. When I said we wanted two rooms as that is what I booked, I was told there were no single rooms available! However, this was resolved very quickly. I thought this was a little cheeky, as I had paid for two rooms.

I was a little concerned about security as the large sash window in my bedroom could not be locked.
