"this place needs new beds carpets paint and plaster to hide holes in the wall and to tidy electrics"
what a great location and all this place needs is an update. i slept good in a single room . i was not allowed to view the dorm i booked and for a few euro more i was given a single room. after recovering from the anger of finding a flea on my bed and killing it after it bit me only to find it loaded with my fresh blood ; I slept on the other bed in the room in my clothes with my raincoat on top of me and the duvet under me. the beds should have been chucked about 20 years ago as they were old and frayed and awful but i slept in the back of the building so it was quiet and i was tired. i woke at 6am feeling refreshed and felt like i was a student again in a youth hostel . i was able to laugh it off and almost ready to apply for a job asking them if they needed help assessing and writing job sheets for the workers as i am an interior designer by trade. As for the breakfast it was a joke. bread ,sliced cheese,cheap sliced ham and some sort of tange styled juice drink but no water.i have traveled to amsterdam many times and enjoyed some lovely hotels but this was a sad hotel in need of major tlc . i would not go back there and really object to easy to book recommending it as it was not what a hotel needs to be

"Awful hotel"
Discusting curtains hanging of mattress with springs through sticking out shower and sink filthy communal toilet disgraceful had to buy own bleach only stayed as they demanded full anount worst experience I have had !
"Yep, before booking and going through the reviews, i was apprehensive of..."
Pros: Yep, before booking and going through the reviews, i was apprehensive of staying there, but once i reached there, i found it quite reasonable at least for the amount of money you are paying along with free breakfast. i found it a very good value for my money.the man at the reception during night time was very nice.
Cons: Once i reached the hotel around 1200hrs, the lady at the reception was not very cooperative and was busy in having chat with some one known to her rather than welcoming the customers.
Pros: Access from city centre was excellent
Cons: Stairs were dangerously steep, breakfast was provided on the cheap, room was very small, general maintenance work need doing
