The White Tulip Hotel Amsterdam

Pros: The staff are so nice and helpfull. the people at irish pub under the hostel has good food and you get nice discounts there! very good experience :)

Pros: The location was excellent.
Cons: The hotel itself is a hostel and it was expensive for this kind of acomodation. the place is very old and not very clean.

Cons: No wifi on the top floor

Pros: The room was clean as well as the bathroom. two of the three guys working at the reception were kind and helpful.
Cons: I was not told that there was no lift and that the stairs were so steep. therefore, i needed help in order to carry my bagage to the room. the reception area is tiny and not really nice. it looked messy because there was an old sofa covered with lots of plastic bags. the first guy i found working in the reception was not polite. he made a stupid joke saying "well, how can you expect more, this is not a 5 star hotel". i've been in nice hostels before so of course i can expect more!

Pros: The location of the white tulip is perfect, only 5 mins away from dam square, the red light district, central station, and the damrak! and for the price you pay i would have expected it to be a little more for such a good location. the room was clean and the beds were surprisingly comfy. the staff were great and happy to help us with whatever we needed including locations of various things, directions, suggestions on what's good to do and letting us leave our luggage there on the day we left even though we had checked out. very impressed with the it.
Cons: The only negative was the private shower in our room wasn't very clean; hair in the drain etc but the group showers were cleaned twice a day and were extremely clean so we used these instead but that is the only bad thing i have to say! other than the church bell going off quite early in the morning but this cannot be helped on the hotel's side so would recommend the white tulip hotel completely.

Pros: Clean for the most part.
Cons: There was no mention that i, a 20 year old female, would be sharing rooms with men upwards of 35 years old. it made the experience rather uncomfortable. it was also extremely loud, and even though it was technically a no smoking facility, everything smelled like weed.

Pros: The room was clean enough, fresh linens when i arrived. shared washrooms were cleaned twice per day. there was a vending machine with beer in it. it was very close to the red light district. hostel was above a bar and they give you a 25% discount on food and drinks. free lockers in the room (5 euro deposit for a lock but you get it back when you return the lock to reception). free clean towels daily, free wifi or you can use their computer for 1 euro.
Cons: Very loud, if you are a light sleeper you may need ear plugs. there is a church nearby that rings it's bells, it seems like every 15 minutes. jerks. lol

Pros: Amsterdam hotels are generally vastly overpriced and offer indifferent accommodation. the dorm was clean and i shated with a friendly group of americans. i am 58 and would rather save on hotel costs than pay amsterdam's inflated prices. if you don't mind sharing i would definitely recommend this to you. as i was/am traveling round europe by rail the location was excellent.

Pros: Staff were very polite and helpful.
Cons: I did not feel comfortable in such a big room with so many unknown individuals. would certainly go private in future.

Pros: Had a great stay in the white tulip. 4 of us in a quad room,so good privacy and a private toilet. highly recommended

Pros: This hostel was in a perfect location, our room was clean, we felt safe and the food that was served in the pub was really good. overall a great place to stay and would stay there again.
