19 April 2012

Liked: It was in an excellent location

Disliked: The room was cramped, they added an extra bed into it and it made it difficult to walk around, there was 1 bathroom for 10 people with no separate sink. Nowhere on the building does it say "Dam Hotel" reception is at the "orange tulip" next door. The reception was not helpful and not knowledgeable about the area.

Liked: The central locations to the hart of Armsterdam and the closeness to the train station

Disliked: Although I knew it before I arrived I didn't like the narrow staircase. It also surprised me that the reception was located in the sister hotel which meant that you had to go up a narrow stair case to check in then go down and go up another narrow stair case to get to your room.

29 June 2011

Liked: It is right in the city centre, right near the train station and on the main street. Everything is literally a minutes walk away.

Disliked: We booked to stay at the Dam Hotel. They booked us into their Orange Tulip hostel next door. My problem with this was that they put us on the first floor where they were doing renovations of the hallway so we had to walk through a tarp curtain and through the worksite to get to our room which was the only one on the floor. When you opened the bathroom door the toilet was in the doorway so you had to basically sit in the door way to go to the bathroom. Also, outside the bedroom window were syringes. I complained and we finally got moved to the Dam Hotel where we had booked in the first place. The lady at the counter said they were the same hotel but in different buildings but i did not feel comfortable staying in the first one so was glad to move. The rooms are very small but when your travelling you dont need to spend that much time in them so it was adequate. The bed was so soft that it dipped in the middle but i guess its better than sleeping on a cardboard thin mattress

Liked: It is really central to Amsterdam central station, Dam square, coffee shops and the red light district.

Disliked: Small, over priced room for a private double room. The main hallway was being renovated so it was an inconvenience. If you're only in the room to sleep and get ready it's the best location - minus the price tag.

Liked: Location is superb!! Only about 300 meters from centraal station where you can catch all city buses and trams, or catch the Euro Rail to your next destination. Coffee shops and tons of shopping are literally at the bottom of the stairs!

Disliked: Not much to dislike. For what you pay the hostel is perfect!
