Hotel Il Giardino アムステルダム  

Pros: Very near from the central station!
very friendly staff!
however,that is all.

good place to stay some days.i spent my time in a quad room with 3 girls.it was average clean, breakfast good, 24h always open, bosses always kind.great place exactly in the center of the amsterdam life!!!

The only good thing was the location, the room was very small and pretty dirty. No one cleaned it for 3 days. Definetely not a good place to stay, the price compared to quality is absolutely unjustified. Just choose another place

There where no smoking rooms witch we where disappointed about .There was also builders in during the day witch was fail to be mentioned to us. The best thing about it was are room didn't get robed and it was open late .. About 4am we got back and the guy was still there !!

well where do i start?! when we arrived we found that they had no information detailing our arrival! no hot water, tiny tiny room with three beds just crammed in and damp on the walls!! WOULD NEVER GO AGAIN!!!!

2€ a can of soda, all is expensive in this hotel... The room was dirty, traces of vomits on the wall beside the beds, we normally reserved a room with 4 simple beds, and it was bunk beds.. Bathroom was the worst : the sink was broken, no door at the shower (all the water on the floor and no evacuation...) only the bedding was clean. Was a trip of friends, so as the bed was clean, and it was a little table with chairs in the room, it was nice. But for the low comfort, it was exorbitant. 160€ for one night included the tax.

4 nights in this hotel and no cleaners in room at all , no towels and sheets exchange, no toilet paper exchange wen is empty, soap and sower gel available (well done) room door don't give any noises protection- sad truth breakfast until 10;30 :) everyday the same 2 slice of toasted bread, fried egg, 1/2 slice of ham, jam, butter, tee or coffee (not much but tasty and fresh well done) restaurant nice small clean good location cross the street Starbucks and train station 5 min walk to red light and coffeshopsgood choice for young people who don't care about room quality room prices not bead but fore this quality should be cheaper

I know what you're going to say: "Well what do you expect for 20 Euros a night?!" and you'd be right of course, but hear me out...I booked this hotel because 6 of us were attending a dance music festival in Amsterdam so my thinking was that we'd only really need a place to crash, wash and securely store our stuff so quality and aesthetics were not high up on the list of priorities at all! Price, convenience and location certainly were and on all three metrics, the Il Giardino fitted the bill. It's a short walk from Centraal Station, within easy reach of all the main... "attractions" and it's the cheapest I could find. However...When we first arrived, I was a little surprised to find that 'reception' was behind a glass food display cabinet. You see 'reception' was also where you ordered your food because the hotel doubled as a kebab shop! At this point, suspicions were starting to be aroused but I reserved further judgements until I saw the rooms. Check in was fairly painless and once keys were distributed, off we went to our rooms. The first shock we discovered was that the toilet and shower room for the twin room was outside the room and accessible to anyone on the hallway. We also discovered that the light didn't work in the toilet so one was forced to sit down whether one needed (or wanted) to or not! The next shock was in our main room (for the 4 of us) the smell of sewage almost overwhelmed us as we walked in. There must have been either an open drain or a broken pipe because the stench was unlike anything I'd smelt outside of a developing country. The third surprise was that the bed configuration was a child's bunk bed, a single bed and a 'Z' bed, totally unsuitable for 4 adults.To his credit, the manager didn't try to argue about the smell or beds; despite telling us he was fully booked he moved us to a room at the front of the hotel. OK, it was smaller and it only contained a double and one single bed, but it was warm (OK boiling hot!) and the shower/loo was clean (although the shower and loo faced each other within the 'wetroom'). The bedding was clean although annoyingly they kept the plastic wrapping around the bed bases so that every time you moved the bed made a rustling sound!So overall, a pretty mixed experience! The bedding is clean, staff are friendly and it's very easy to find but the rooms are shabby, the carpets are in need of a deep clean and there are way too many scary looking electric wires hanging around. 1* budget+!

Location is near center station and convenience for my tour. Sevice is OK for such price.The boss of the hotel is very kind and enjoy this period there.

Location very convenient for visiting Amsterdam, hotel very simple but beds very good for one night . More appropriate for young people

I don't recommend any others for this hotel.- No daily room cleaning service. Even don't change the towels- Breakfast no good. Same stuff for three days...-Price is very high compare to others. I spent three nights which i booked online. Later i moved another hotel which is cheaper than this hotel and very good service, very good room, very good breakfast......- Only good point is ... It is very close to central railway station.......

good location near central station. allowed us to leave bags in the kitchen, and we returned later to check in. Not impressed by the standard of cleanliness, stair carpet very dirty, and smelly , walls stained and bedroom and bathroom came with tins of air freshener. Walls stained with ?? Hairs in the shower tray. Smell of urine in the room. We left the room and secured alternative hotel, returning to collect our bags an hour later, so can't comment on the service and sleep .

Well located, rooms were cleaner that i had imagined, bed was not big but was comfortable. I wouldn't really recommend it but it's fine.

The hotel was very well located, however, it semmed to us quite expensive given the conditions of the place. The bed we share was quite small and the room service was not included. We paid 50 eur/ night!Despite those factors, we did have internet in our room and breakfast was very good.

Ideally situated by Central Station so hence the expensive price for what it is.Outside the hotel is a very busy traffic lighted junction and the traffic is relentless.So not good if you actually want to sleep.The staff were helpfull,the bedding clean but the room it was in need of decorating/updating.The room is something you'd find in a Blackpool back street run down hotel.The walk in shower/toilet was adequate.Like I said,the big plus is the location and that's the only plus really.

The name of the hotel is Il Giardino (which in Italian means the garden), there was no garden as far as the eye could see.Arriving to the hotel in the so called reception the personnel were unable to find my booking reservation. They reassured me that I would be offered a room if I could come back 30 minutes later. Doing so, and when entering the room (first floor) showed an uncleaned room in a complete mess. Returning to the reception, they offered me a new room (third floor), also this room turned out to be in a chaotic state.After some additional waiting a woman (normally working in the restaurant) came and cleaned the room.The toilet and shower had no separation what so ever, resulting in a flooded floor (if less care would have been applied also the room would have been drained).The stay at this hotel lasted two nights, normally you expect the room to be cleaned every morning that did not happen here.The breakfast was OK, even if the selection of offered beverages depended on the individual waiter/waitress.The hotel was situated next to the street and a major crossing which of course resulted in a lot of noise. Being extremely hot and without air condition required a window to be kept open. The curtains for keeping the light out were hung in such a way that there was always a gap, after some effort (from us - the guests) of rearranging the curtains enough darkness was reached. The beds were fairly comfortable.The major reason for the choice of hotel was the nearness to the railway station.The price for the offered dreadful conditions was outrageous.

Dirty hotel With trash in the room and out of the Windows. No reception, the reception is the kebab restaurant near the stair of the hotel. The room was little and the bath out of the room. Bad hotel

Great location close to station. However, the room was tiny with no storage at all. The furniture was broken and I counted 3 lamps, without bulbs hidden in the only cupboards. Could really have done with a wardrobe! View was of an air-conditioning unit and nothing else. My friend got locked in shared bathroom as lock/handle was broken and it took 2 days before someone fixed it. The breakfast was not as described. Staff was friendly and restaurant/shop is handy.

overall was what was expected staff was first class helped as much as possible room was adequate but a bit cramped
