Klein maar fijn
Pros:

Klein maar toch Lux en schoon

Cons:

1 klein min puntje maar ik snap dat het een oud gebouw is
Dat de opstap om de douch te komen best hoog is en misschien men kan uitglijden of vergeten als je klaar bent met douchen

Nice Stay
Pros:

Nice neighborhood, about 15 min walk to Central Station. Lots of restaurants nearby. Nice included coffee and pastry next door.

Cons:

Like most Amsterdam hotels, be prepared for a steep set of stairs. The small double room was VERY small.

Pros:

Really nice and friendly staff! The hotel was clean and smelled good, and had a really good breakfast deal with the cafe across the street. I strongly recommend and would stay at Calisto again.

Great visit, great stay and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Amsterdam
Pros:

Really enjoyed this accommodation. Smallish room which for Europe is not uncommon. We were a party of 7/3 rooms of which only 2 were ready when we checked in. Our hostess was amazing, very attentive and accommodating. Very helpful getting everyone’s luggage up the narrow staircase. Kept in touch with us to ensure we didn’t miss the 11pm cut off to pu 3rd room key.

Cons:

Breakfast offered across the street opened a little too late, 9am, for our purposes as we were up early our first day so didn’t eat. 2nd day we waited until 9 and received our coffee and delicious chocolate croissants. Owner of the shop was very friendly

Perfect location to feel part of the Amsterdam culture. 
Pros:

The staff were incredible. They carried our heavy suitcases up flights of stairs, and were very attentive to our needs. They let us keep our luggage there while we waited to leave Amsterdam later in the day. The location is perfect with shops and restaurants all around.

Cons:

The room was very small but it was clean and comfortable.
