Hotel was slightly out the way but there were plenty trams nearby. also there were no directions to get from the central station to the hotel,because of that we got lost by directions from the locals,so we had to get a taxiwhich cost us 15 euros

The hotel was priced well for the location that it was in.
The hostel room never got cleaned during our 3 night stay and we only got new towels once.
hostel staff did not have maps of the local area which made it hard to initially navigate about and they told us when we arived that their credit card facilities where down and that we had to pay cash up front for the 3 nights (which we had not expected).

The staff was very helpful; the hotel/room was clean.
The breakfast was too expensive and marginal.

Spotless clean despite work needed to be done in the rooms; very quiet (on a little street and no cafe or other noise possible); very well situated for whoever wants to be around this residential area of amsterdam
and a positive surprise: the room i was finally allocated was with ensuite shower/wc, for the same price of the one i booked (with no ensuite wc/shower).
internet available for 2.50 euros the 30 minutes
good breakfast for seven euros value (continental plus ham and cheese, and fruits available on a 'help yourself' basis without limits in servings)
The hotel needs work, but the price indicates it really. so people going there should not expect luxury three stars hotel facilities. but if one is not bothered by appearances then the hotel is perfect

Clean rooms, helpful staff and the location was quiet.
Although quiet, the location was quite residential and this showed with the facilities nearby to the hotel.
