Cons:

The worst experience.
First of all, the room did not match the photos I saw on Booking. It was dirty everywhere, there were spiders, and the room was located in the basement, something that was not shown in the photos. The bathroom smelled bad, and the tap was broken and leaking.
The worst part was the mouse we saw in the room, as well as the trap that was there.
It is unacceptable that this hotel is offered for rent.

Great expectations were unfortunately not met
Pros:

The location was great, it was definitely cozy and cute. For the activities we had it was a great place to be. Nice bed, clean towels, nice shower, warm room.

Cons:

However, I had requested another room which I did not get. We got the basement room which was ok but right next to the street….we were woken up three or four times by screaming drunks through the night! I am a light sleeper and even with earplugs it sounded like people were in our room! Also the sink in the bathroom was broken and it make a very high beeping sound ( the pipes) when turned on and off. We had to find the trick to shut it off. It really should be fixed. So the location and price seemed reasonable and we are looking for a place to regularly use during our visits to Amsterdam we were hoping this could be our place. I am sure it would have been different in another room. We had bad luck.

Pros:

Posizione, dimensione e comfort della camera eccezionali. Tim è stato veramente disponibile (e paziente) nonostante le nostre numerose richieste e Brian celere nell'assecondare le nostre necessità. La stanza si trovava al 2 piano per cui bisognava fare 2 rampe di scale, strette ma assolutamente fattibili.
Nei dintorni della struttura ci sono un sacco di bar e ristoranti carini.

Fabulous stay
Pros:

My partner and I had such a great time staying here for two nights. It’s in a fantastic location, close to bars, restaurants, and a convenience store two doors away. The room was absolutely gorgeous and great value for money. It was tastefully decorated, had a huge TV, beautiful bathroom with bath, and a comfortable lounge area with microwave and little fridge.
Tim was such a great host and made us feel so welcome.
We will definitely be back!

Cons:

We are regular travellers who have stayed in all types of accommodation all around the world and visit Amsterdam 3times a year. We have never ever experienced anything like this place. We stayed in October and it’s actually traumatised me and I’ve found it difficult trusting other listings now knowing places like this exist and are on a trusted platform like booking.com. I’ve also found it hard to bring myself to leave a review because I still feel very upset about it and don’t want to relive it so I’m not going to go into too much detail. My experience was very similar to the other reviews (the good ones I can only imagine are made by bots). Below acceptable hygiene standards that made us leave feeling dirty and very worried regarding bed bugs as we were covered in bites and bed area was so dirty. We stayed in the top room and it’s so dimly lit so you don’t see how dirty everything is when you first arrive if in winter as it’s dark. We needed the owner as we had an issue non of the numbers for him worked until 10pm he then arrived at our room after midnight drunk, condescending and being very intimidating. I did not feel safe here at all. Horrible experience that even a refund wouldn’t compensate but I had no luck with this either. Wish I had seen the bad reviews before booking but I booked it back at the beginning of the year when the reviews were still good, perhaps under different management then.
