Avoid Galerij
Pros:

Good price and good location

Cons:

The hotel wouldn't reply to any form of communication in the buildup to the stay, and when we did arrive we were met with abuse from the guy at the reception because of the time we turned up, even though it was confirmed through the booking app.
The room itself was basic and didn't feel clean, the radiator leaked onto the bed, the shower had broken and was stuck at one temperature (thankfully hot)

Awful! Stay away
Pros:

Location only

Cons:

The room is so small, you feel like you are in prison. There are only two toilets per floor. The stairs are insanely steep and the steps are very small, so if you are older or you are drunk, there’s a risk you will fall. Depending on your room, you could take three flight of stairs, since there is no elevator. I honestly don’t know how the Dutch Government allows this place to stay open.

Galerij x ADE
Pros:

Cercavo un letto e una doccia ad un buon prezzo per il mio soggiorno durante l'ADE. Hotel Galerji ha saputo darmi tutto ciò. Inoltre la zona è super strategica essendo vicina sia ai mezzi sia per qualsiasi spostamento a piedi. Lo staff molto disponibile per qualsiasi richiesta/esigenza quindi consiglio!

Cons:

Come in ogni struttura olandese le scale strette e ripide ahaha essendo io alto 1.90 per me sono molto impervie però pazienza

That is the worst hotel that I've dever stayed in.
Pros:

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, and hte location was excellent.
However, the flights of steps were inordinately steep (no lift), the rooms were filthy, the electrics were dangerous and often not working, the security was non-existent (the front door was permanently unlocked, 24 hours a day!), and the shared shower was awful.

Mach ich nie wieder
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich, die Lage sehr zentral
Het personeel was erg vriendelijk, de locatie zeer centraal

Cons:

Das zimmer hatte exakt 5 qm. Es war massiv schmutzig, die Lampe war voll mit Staub (Fotos) das Fenster lies sich nicht öffnen, der Wasserhahn im Zimmer tropfte, die Toiletten im Flur sehr sehr schmutzig, die Dusche mit Schimmel, es war sehr hellhörig, ein öffentlicherKühlschrank der so schmutzig war, das man Angst vor Infektion haben muss. billig ok aber deshalb mus es nicht so schmutzig sein. ich hab in 5 Tagen Aufenthalt keine Reinigung jedweder art wahrgenommen.
De kamer was precies 5 vierkante meter groot. Het was er ontzettend vies: de lamp zat onder het stof (zie foto's), het raam kon niet open en de kraan in de kamer lekte. De toiletten in de gang waren extreem smerig en in de douche zat schimmel. De kamer bood totaal geen geluidsisolatie; alles was te horen. Er was een gemeenschappelijke koelkast die zo vies was dat deze een reëel infectierisico vormde. Goedkoop zijn is één ding, maar dat is geen excuus voor een dergelijk gebrek aan hygiëne. Tijdens mijn verblijf van vijf dagen heb ik helemaal niemand zien schoonmaken.

Localização impecável no coração de Amsterdã, limpeza e organização nota 10 e atendimento excelente! As escadas são cara
Pros:

Excelente custo-benefício e localização perfeita!

Minha experiência no Hotel Galerij foi muito positiva! A localização é excelente, bem no centro de Amsterdã, ideal para quem quer conhecer a cidade a pé e aproveitar ao máximo os pontos turísticos, restaurantes e atrações sem precisar depender de transporte público o tempo todo.

A organização e a limpeza são impecáveis, e o atendimento merece nota 10! A equipe foi muito atenciosa, e tudo contribuiu para uma estadia muito agradável.

Vi algumas avaliações negativas em relação às escadas, mas acredito que é importante considerar que estamos falando de um prédio antigo, algo muito característico de Amsterdã. Muitos edifícios da cidade têm escadas íngremes e estreitas por conta da própria arquitetura histórica. Portanto, vale a pena levar esse detalhe em consideração antes de reservar, especialmente para quem tem dificuldade de mobilidade ou carrega malas pesadas.

Para mim, os pontos positivos superaram muito essa questão. A localização, a limpeza, a organização e o atendimento fizeram toda a diferença. Eu me hospedaria novamente, com certeza, e recomendo para quem procura praticidade, uma boa localização e uma experiência agradável no coração de Amsterdã!

Pros:

Расположение просто лучше не бывает.

Cons:

Лестница просто Голгофа. Подниматься сложно, спускаться ещё страшнее. Номер как раз на этаже возле ресепшена и лестницы, слышимость оглушительная. В ванной ночью начал работать вентилятор,пришлось мужу вытаскивать его и утром вставлять. Благо, электрик. Мусор на полу указывал на то, что вряд ли его мыли. Холодильник пришлось включить, чтоб воспользоваться.
