Pros:

The comfortability of the room. The beddings were top notch so our rest was great

Cons:

The fourth floor was a stretch as there was no elevator. It was too stressful carrying the suitcases to the 4th floor

Adam Downtown è stata un’ottima soluzione per quanto riguarda la zona, ma l’impossibilità di aprire la finestra, l’esigu
Pros:

L’albergo è in pieno centro e in un’ottima zona per girare a piedi per la città. La zona è molto viva e piena di locali, senza però essere troppo affollata nè di giorno nè di sera. Il viale su cui affaccia è alberato e molto bello.

Cons:

Le scale sono davvero ripidissime, soprattutto quella che conduce dal livello della strada al primo piano; difficili da percorrere con valige pesanti o se non si è in piena forma (anche se probabilmente è così in un po’ tutta Amsterdam). La stanza era molto piccola, senza neanche un armadio, e non c’era neanche lo spazio per terra per aprire due trolley di piccole dimensioni. Nella camera era presente una finestra di tipo olandese che scorreva verso l’alto ma non si riusciva a gestirla in alcun modo, essendo davvero pesantissima e senza maniglie: siamo riusciti a sollevarla con fatica in due ma rischiando che le dita rimanessero schiacciate sotto, dal momento che nulla impedisce alla finestra di cadere verso il basso per il suo grande peso. Per tutto il soggiorno è quindi rimasta aperta per un dito come l’avevamo trovata, con un piccolo pezzo di legno a tenerla aperta. Abbiamo chiesto alla reception un aiuto sulla finestra e ci è stato detto che essendo una finestra vecchia era molto pesante di natura e che avremmo dovuto avere un camera un bastoncino o qualcosa per tenerla aperta. Inoltre la sera, pur affacciando la camera sul cortile interno, si sentiva della musica provenire dai locali della zona. Inoltre a causa delle elevate temperature durante il soggiorno, si sentiva il gruppo esterno dei condizionatori che andava a piena velocità, con un rumore davvero forte anche con la finestra praticamente quasi chiusa.

Central and well located, easy to check in and clean room
Pros:

Simple and efficient stay. Overall clean, comfortable bed and air conditioning in the room which was good for the very hot day during the visit.

Cons:

Very steep stairs, to be expected with an old building but something to be aware of if you intend to bring big suitcases or a lot of luggage. Bathroom was also showing some signs of wear with damaged screen and not such strong ventilation.

Quarto ok, mas apertado, local barulhento.
Pros:

A localização é boa, perto de tudo. Porém é numa praça extremamente barulhenta, muito movimentada e fica em cima de um pub.

Cons:

Não gostei de entrar no prédio e ter que passar praticamente dentro de um bar, de manhã a praça cheirava a cerveja amanhecida e tem um mictório na porta do hotel.

Great location, comfy beds but disappointing standard vs photos.
Pros:

Great location for central Amsterdam, in amongst the bars and shops. The beds were very comfy and the check in process convenient, as were the lockers for leaving luggage after check out.

Cons:

The shower was barely a dribble and the bathroom was poorly kept and needed some TLC. The coffee machine didn't work and had an old dirty capsule left in it. The walls were sloping over the bed so it felt very small.
