Liked: Best rooms!
Disliked: The receptionist was very respectless for no reasons! But don't go just because of the people there, the place is awesome!

Liked: Closely located
Disliked: lift was not working, my room was on 3rd floor, carried 30kg and room was next to the stair case so I could hear the steps. I left a message with the receptionist a request to refund 50% of my hotel charges for the inconvenience, so far no reply. I still want a refund.

Liked: The location of the property is brilliant, 2 minutes walk from Central Station and other attractions are easily accessible. The bed was huge, and the bathroom was spacious.
Disliked: On the first night of our stay the whole building smelled of weed - while it is Amsterdam, hotels are supposed to be non smoking and the smell was irritating. The bathroom also smelled unpleasent. While breakfast is included, it is not actually in the building, but in the Irish pub next door. There were cigarette burns on the furniture and old stains on the bed linen and towels. Overall it is questionable whether the location benefits overcome the lack of cleanliness and character of the property.

Liked: It is close to Center Station, reasonably easy to find, and the staff were helpful. Breakfast had a great selection. We felt safe and secure.
Disliked: It could have been a little cleaner. We had read complaints about bedbugs so we looked carefully and there were none.

Liked: The location is fantastic. Walking distance to pretty much all the main sights.
Disliked: Our room was very basic and the shower was blocked which we told them about twice but nothing got done about it. Apart from that, beds were comfy and room felt secure.

Liked: It was clean - we had a private room so they offered towels, clean bathroom, TV in the room and cheap internet. Location was good as well. Close to red light district and a few fun bars, but far enough away so it wasn't too loud.
Disliked: My roommate and I entered the hotel at 2:00am - and we were able to walk straight in to the elevator and no one checked our keys nor was the door locked. As two females staying in Amsterdam - I would not recommend this hotel based on safety alone. There also wasn't a place to meet fellow travelers.
