Hotel de Gerstekorrel Ámsterdam  

Pros: Me ha gustado mucho la ubicación del hotel, pues está en una de las calles más animadas de la ciudad, llena de restaurantes y ambiente pero sin ruido.
Contras: Lo único negativo es que escogí este hotel por su ubicación y porqué me gusto la foto de las habitaciones, el problema es que la habitación que nos asignaron no tenia nada que ver con las de las fotos. era una habitación extremadamente pequeña.

On arrival we were told our room would be in another, unattended building a few doors down from the main reception building. The stairs are horrendous!!! Very steep and spiralling, I'm a 31 year old male in good shape but carrying the bags to the top floor was exhausting to say the least. If you're like me and travelling with the Mrs who likes to wear heels and get a bit tipsy AVOID at all costs!!When we got into the room the pillow cases and duvet cover were stained, the room was very dated, very small and looking rough, we were not happy at all, simply due to pre-booking and paying over £100 per night. We were told to use the phone and dial 9 if there were any problems... the phone didn't work!!We made our way back to reception to complain and were offered a room in the main building but again it was on the top floor. (There is NO lift in either building). The stairs were marginally easier to climb and the room was a little better.We had no towels on arrival and had to request them. The TV was tiny and not fixed on the wall appropriately to watch in bed. The bed had two single duvets rather than one double!!?? The shower/toilet area was tiny, with soap and toilet tissue dispensers worthy of a public toilet. The shower didn't get hot enough for me. My knees were pressed against the wall while taking a dump!! The walls are paper thin, everything from the landing and nearby rooms can be heard. Although the reception area and stairs looked very clean and smelled okay, the two rooms we seen were quite the opposite!! There is no tea/coffee facilities within the room, a coffee machine at reception costs €1.50 per cup and is not very nice at all. When going down to reception one morning I was greeted by a cat lying on the stairs!! We had to hand in our key every time we left the building, obviously previous guests have lost theirs, therefore trust in you with yours is lost too. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PICTURES SHOWN OF THIS PLACE, THE ONLY ACCURATE PHOTO IS OF THE RECEPTION!!!The only good things about this place; it's situated perfectly, it's right on top of everything and only a five minute walk from the central station. When you're outside you're literally two minutes away from coffee shops and Red Light District. The staff are well presented and friendly.If you're on a stag/hen party and using this place to sleep only then I suppose it would suffice. A group of young lads wanting to party all day and night would probably have no qualms with it,

Pros: Good hotel which has central location to dam square
Cons: None

Pros: Excellent location
Cons: Noise in the morning from the street.

Pros: The location is very central
Cons: The hotel doesn't have lift so we had to go to the rooms by stairs. and so, on the first day my friend felt from the stairs and broke her foot. the stairs of the hotel was terrible, they should put a lift on it.

Pros: Situated perfectly, loved our room. staff very helpful and met our needs via email request promptly.
Cons: Noisy corridors and lots of slamming doors.

Pros: Location! location! location! there are trains just around the corner but you really don't need them. its 5 min walking from the central station. the street is full of restaurants. its close to everything!!!!
Cons: You need to leave your key at the reception everytime you go out. is not allowed to bring someone to your room!!!!
they don't have elevator!!! and sometimes thats really hard to go up the stairs :)

Pros: Location. in the heart of city centre.
Cons: They could have changed the towels more often. changing every 3 days is not a good policy.

Cons: Would not recommend to anybody unless they was looking for hostel type accommidation
