Perfecto.
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel, esta cerca del barrio rojo, cerca de la estación central. Estaba los bares a los lados, alguna tienda de supermercado para cualquier desavío.

Cons:

Se escuchaba todo lo que pasaba por la calle, enfrente pero enfrente hay un karaoke, y estaban la gente cantando hasta las 4 de la mañana, se escuchaba todo, la cama era de matrimonio pero creo que no tenia corchas grandes y eran de 90 las corchas pero bien, para dormir estaban apañadas y allí son muy típicas las escaleras muy cortas y empinadas y para ir con maleta no lo recomiendo, y es verdad que por la ubicación del hotel el precio no estaba mal, pero yo lo vi caro por la habitación que era.

Pros:

It’s in the very center of Amsterdam.

Cons:

The room is rather small and the reception is in the bar. This information is not available. It’s not really a hotel, more like rent-a-room
