La ubicación. Cumple con la función de ser base y pasar todo el día afuera

Cons:

La cantidad de escaleras empinadas. Que no hablen español. Que guarden las maletas solo hasta las 18hs. Lo diminutas de las habitaciones

Es war gut angebunden aber etwas überteuert für die Ausstattung. Rezeption war aber nett!
Pros:

Es war nah zum Bahnhof und Bett war Bequem und es war einigermaßen Sauber.

Cons:

Die Straße, die tausend Treppen die sehr einfache Einrichtung und die verschleißten Farben. Auch war Preisleistung echt nicht das was ich mir vorgestellt habe aber ja könnt an Amsterdam liegen.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

They obviously didn’t clean the room because it’s no smoking but we checked in and there was a plastic bag over the smoke alarm from the guests before us and the room smelt terribly of cigarettes which didn’t leave the room during our stay. A new room or reimburse some could’ve been nice but.
