My room was at the top floor and was not very convenient if you have a big bag to carry with you on the narrow stairs. Room was average and there was dust under the bed.

Nice place, great location
Great place, friendly staff, great location. The stairs are a trek, but it gets the exercise covered. Close to central station. I'd be a bit concerned about how hot it can be in the summer, but I'd definitely consider it.

Good for the money. Very central. I didn't have high hopes at first, but once settled in was more than happy. Room was basic, but fresh, reasonably comfortable and cleaned out everyday. Staff were helpful. Shower and toilet worked. I've stayed in enough budget hotels to know one that is well run when I see it. This is a very well managed operation and although a bit of a maze is a good option for a single person or those on a budget looking to enjoy Amsterdam for a few days and given the proximity to the central station anywhere in the Netherlands.

Great central location
Hotel was very close to Amsterdam Central Station and very convenient for the city centre. Rooms recently updated, very comfortable and clean with good facilities. Only word of caution is the property has very steep narrow stairs so if you have any mobility issues request the lowest floor.

Stayed one night in downtown Amsterdam and this room met all my needs. Good shower water pressure, comfortable bed, and quiet for sleep despite being in the middle of a lot of action. Some rooms require going up and down steep stairs, like much of central Amsterdam hotels, so be aware of that when booking!

The location was great!! Five minute walk from Central Station. There are a lot of stairs which is difficult to navigate with luggage but we knew that before we booked. Lobby etc. is old and tired and room was small but very clean. Anywhere else I’d say this room was overpriced but Amsterdam is very expensive and because the location was so wonderful we felt it was a very good choice for us.
