Pros:

Központi hely, a pályaudvar, a Piroslámpás negyed, a Dam tés is csak pár perces séta.

Cons:

Keskeny, meredek lépcső vezet a szobákba, keskeny (70 cm széles) ágyak. A fiam az ágy alatt egy levél gyógyszert talált, a tisztaság nem volt az igazi.
Az utca végén egy kis tér van, ahonnan 3-ból 2 este hajnalig tartó buli hallatszott fel nagyon hangosan.
Az ablakok nehezen csukódtak, de légkondi hiányában megfulladtunk volna, ha egész éjjel csukva vannak.

Brilliant location. Hotel could do with some modern touches!
Pros:

Brilliant location. Easy find from station and easy to walk to the bars etc. You can leave your key with the desk which is great.

Cons:

Little room or areas for storing your gear in room. No hand towels in bathroom. Plug sockets halfway up wall making charging phone difficult.
