23 August 2010

Liked: The beds were comfortable.

Disliked: We arrived before check in and they told us we could wait outside with our luggage until check in. They wouldn't allow us to enter the building if we wanted to wait inside we had to pay ten euros for each piece of luggage. The man who works there in unbelievably rude, however the young girl is very helpful and sweet. The breakfast was gross and they shut it down 40 minutes before it was suppose to end. My advice: don't stay here unless you don't care about customer service. I felt like an inconvience to them.

Liked: Location was really good, close to bars/museums/canal boats and trams

Disliked: The stairs are a nightmare, practically vertical - pretty scary getting luggage up and down 3 flights. Also ensuite doesn't mean you get your own toilet

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: The steep stairs, the sauna-like rooms that made you drip with sweat upon entering them, the disgusting en-suite toilets and showers where the whole room was flooded with dirty water and also the fact I had to move rooms - albeit to a slightly nicer one - after my first night!

Liked: We liked the free internet offers, the breakfast was quite good compared to other hostels and each room has got their own bathroom.

Disliked: There was not a common room, instead it was rather like a big room, where people gathered for breakfast or information. The payments were too expensive and the location was on the fringes of central Amsterdam.

Disliked: they have very steep stairs, that are very hard to get up they are always doing some kind of work on something, and the property isnt very well maintained (windows, blinds, showers...)
