Gute Lage und saubere Zimmer aber Probleme bei der Rückzahlung der Kaution
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist tentral, vieles ist zu Fuß erreichnar. Die Sauberkeit der Zimmer war in Ordnung.

Cons:

Leider ein sehr enttäuschender Umgang mit der Baukaution. Beim Check-In wurde eine Kaution von 100€ verlangt. Beim Check out wurde mit versichter das ich den Betrag Bar zurückerhalte. Vor Ort hiess es dann plötzlich der Safe sei defekt und es gebe kein Bargeld im Hotel. Mir wurde eine überweisung innerhalb weniger Stunden zugesichert.

Diese Überweisung ist selbst nach wochen nicht erfolgt. Trotz mehrfacher E-Mails, Telefonate und klarer Zusagen gab es keine Rückzahlung. Kommunikation

Dieses verhalten ist inakzeptabel und lässt zweifel an die Zuverlässigkeit des Hotels aufkommen.

If you don’t care about comfort or convenience then give it a try
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The property is an old Dutch house. The stairs are not for adults with luggage to handle. Absolutely horrific. The rooms were uncomfortable. The beds kept sliding apart. Very little room service. One small step above a youth hostel.

Pros:

El chico que nos atendió fue muy amable con nosotros, muy buena ubicación al lado de todas las tiendas, todo limpio.

Cons:

Las escaleras, pero no es algo con importancia. También una tarde no nos funcionaba la calefacción y hacía muchísimo frío, pero se solucionó a la noche.

Clean but very small and basic
Pros:

The location was good and the property was clean.

Cons:

The room (10) was extremely small and we were unable to fully open the bathroom door. There was also no mirror in our room.
The building was next to a cafe and with our room on the ground floor, we could hear the music and feel the vibrations until the early hours.

Soddisfacente
Pros:

Mi è piaciuta moltissimo la posizione che consiglio vivamente. Il receptionist della sera, Rodrigo, veramente gentile, disponibile e preparato.

Cons:

Un po' fastidiose le scale perché veramente troppo ripide e strette, ma è tipico delle costruzioni di Amsterdam. Non puliscono la camera e il bagno ma cambiano gli asciugamani ogni giorno.

Improvements needed
Pros:

Staff were excellent

Cons:

Spiral stairs were extremely steep.
Single glazing made outside very noisy to sleep through as you could hear everything including regular trams.
Main frustration was due to the odd shape of the room, the curtains did not cover half of the windows so in the morning it was very bright in the room which you couldn’t prevent

Vriendelijk personeel

Heel smal bed, kleine kamer, geen schoon hotel en gedoe met de boeking.
