"Good enough"

It was a nice stay. We had the room on the backside so not much noise from the streets but more the fact you could hear the rest of the guests. Its a gay hotel but its more like a male gay hotel so if your lesbian you would rather find another place. Seems its the older gays staying there to say it like that. But beside that location was great and the staff was really helpful and nice. I had some questions and they answered with a smile. I wouldnt mind stay there again.

"Pics are different!"

When we arrived at the hotel we noticed the hotel does not look like it does in the pics, however it is a lil dated but well worth the price, very great location, friendly staff, the hotel os clean, coffee shop next door and stairs are very steep but thats the same everywhere in amsterdam! Overall a very great stay in amsterdam! Would stay there again

"Location"

Pros: Location
Cons: When we first arrived we wanted to go straight away but were told thr full amount had been paid for and that it was non refundable. but we got used to the hotel after the second day. it's mainly men that stay in this hotel, and we were two girls who had to lumber our suitcases up some very, very narrow steps. but you do get used to them. the shower was in a poor state, and the toilet always had skid marks in them (shared toilet). the staff were ok, the decor of the hotel is very gay, my room
had fur for wallpaper!! when we separated the beds we found that the carpet was ripped and other stuff. it's ok if you are tough, if you are not and enjoy luxaries do not stay here. and try to ask for a room at the bottom near the back!!

Pablo Pinzon United Kingdom Spouse/partner September 2010

Cons: The breakfast was rather poor for a 95 euro per night, you need climbing skills for the stairs, way too steep. the staff was ok. should be offered as a 100% gay hotel. the shower used to be the hall's closet and as you get out fo it you'll meet the guests coming in or out the hotel. i'm not tall and i almost had to sit sideways on the toilet, too small!!

Pros: The staff were very professional and friendly. the room was private, quiet, and clean. you could not ask for a better location.
Cons: Sharing bathroom and shower worked out ok - i think next time i'd book an in-suite private bath. (it would have been 100 euro more). the breakfast was good the first day, then we got tired of it.
