menomale la posizione
Pros:

l’unica nota positiva é la posizione: vicinissimo alla stazione centrale e alla fermata del tram che porta ai musei. vicino ci sono anche negozi, supermercati e tantissimi bar/ristoranti. c’é un dolcissimo gattino alla reception.

Cons:

camera doppia con bagno privato, minuscola, letteralmente due letti. armadio assente, solo qualche gruccia e un tavolino. non ci sono comodini e ha una sola presa di corrente sopra il letto.
non ci é mai stata rifatta la stanza e non sono stati cambiati gli asciugamani quotidianamente (lo hanno fatto solo quando dopo due giorni li abbiamo chiesti noi). viene fornito un solo asciugamano a testa.
nonostante la nostra stanza fosse al 3º piano, si sentivano tutti i rumori delle altre stanze e del bar di sotto.
sono cose che ci si può aspettare da un albergo a 1 stella, ma per quello che ci é stato fornito, il prezzo era un furto.
va bene solo se dovete starci 1/2 notti al massimo.

Pros:

L’hotel ha una posizione strategica, sei praticamente ad un minuto da molo da cui partono le crociere sui canali, da Amsterdam central e dalle principali attività commerciali.
Il personale è super cortese, mi hanno fornito un piccolo asciugacapelli e custodito i bagagli al check out.

Cons:

La camera è un po spartana. Non c’è aria condizionata, da poter convertire in calda o fredda.
Il bagno è molto vecchio e fatiscente. Cambierei lo specchio con uno più grande e magari aggiungerei del mobilio anche in camera come appendini da muro, specchi interi e altro per migliorare un po’ l’aspetto. La moquette è vecchissima e poco igienica a mio parere, e il letto molto molto scomodo, soprattutto perché è fatto da due singoli attaccati.

Sicuramente nel complesso curerei un po di più le camere e la pulizia.

Wenn man nur dort übernachten und Geld sparen will, kann man das schon machen.
Pros:

Man bekommt, was man bezahlt - nicht mehr, nicht weniger. Die Lage ist gut, genauso wie der Preis.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, das Personal nicht gerade unfreundlich, aber auch nicht bemühter als unbedingt nötig. Die Temperatur der Duschen lässt sich schlecht regulieren, die Betten sind schmal, die Ausstattung eher spartanisch und man sollte zum Schlafen Ohrstöpsel mitbringen, dann aber geht es gut.

Great location, comfy beds
Pros:

Perfect location. Comfortable bed and pillow. Clean sheets, clean towels. Nice staff.

Cons:

You need €20 in cash to be paid at check-in as a key deposit. We stayed for two nights, and although we kept the window open the whole time, the room still had a strange smell. It may have been coming from the carpet. There was no AC or fan, and the room was quite warm at night.
There were also no glasses in the room for drinking water. There were only two power sockets for 3people. We were given exactly 3towels, one per person, so there was no extra towel to use for drying hands in the bathroom.
On the day of checkout, someone knocked on our door before 10am to make sure we were leaving. Extra comment: There was also a lot of noise coming from the neighbouring rooms and the hallway. This is not necessarily the hotel’s fault, but it’s something to be considered.
