The place is not ready for a summer season and hot weather. The rooms don't have A/Cs and the ventilation is not good. Place is probably perfect in cold season as they have heating. The staff especially the old woman, is terrible. She is rude and full of complaints about the guests. There was only one staff who was a good guy.

Good Cheap location for friends holiday trip

Excellent location at a 5-minute walking distance from Amsterdam Centraal, which was quite suitable for me since I was only going to stay for 1 night in Amsterdam and had to catch a train very early in the morning. Cheap option for Amsterdam standards. The receptionist was nice and serviceable man. Apart from that, it was what I expected for this price and location in Amsterdam. It was very noisy, you can hear everything that happens in the corridors and rooms nearby, and it's obviously filled with people who are coming back from partying, so not a good option if you're a light sleeper and you need to have a quiet night. Furthermore, the hotel is not clean at all, some corridors smell of urine, and there's also a foul stench in the room. The rooms are quite small, although not very different from other hotels of this type in Amsterdam. The stairs are narrow and somewhat steep, so take care if you're carrying heavy luggage.
