    Bed was a bit uncomfortable and the stairs are a workout!

    The hotel is upstairs a bar in the historic red light district. The room was clean but the bed was a little uncomfortable. Close to all the action and walking distance to the railway. The staff at check-in (Jess) was extremely helpful with places to eat and keeping track of the weather! Thank you for your help! Overall, good value for money.

    My knee got injured while dragging the luggage up a flight of very very steep stairs, that are a few cms wide, meaning, you have to be on your toes. The location is in one of the dingy streets of the red light district.

    Cleanliness. Soundproof.

    The price was expensive, yet it is Amsterdam, and everything is expensive regarding the accommodation.

    The location was the best, right in the middle of the red-light district. Also Katerina who was working at the bar downstairs was amazing, super friendly, and very polite.

    It was quite loud at night, and there was no free wifi. Also, the location is unbelievably packed at night.

    Perfect little room for a solo traveller. I could've happily stayed in the room for a week or so.

    The main things I didn't like about the hotel were more to do with the building itself and not so much the business. My room was at the front of the building and at night, you could hear all the noise from the street outside and with it being busy until the early hours of the morning, it was hard to get to sleep on the first night, after that I got used to it. The bathroom was across the hallway meaning you had to leave the room to get to it. Finally, the stairs were a little smaller/steeper than I'm used to. All these issues I was aware of before booking due to reading the reviews so I had a fairly good idea what to expect and it was not a major issue for me, I only mention it so people know what to expect.

    The hotel was easy to find right in the heart of the red light district, I arrived late but check-in was smooth and hassle free. The guy working the bar seemed friendly and helpful and the room I was given met my expectations based off what I had seen on this site My room had everything I needed and I especially liked having a fridge and coffee machine. The location was one of the best aspects as not only are you right in the middle of the red light district but it is only a short walk to the main train station and Dam Square.

    The mood was a little bit spoiled by the manager on the last day. He came off a little bit insensitive and condescending. He knew I was a solo traveler with my dog, who wasn’t 100% at the time. Yet he talked down to me when he knew I had a lot going on. The female bartender was fantastic, and I couldn’t fault her attitude. I feel the manager could undoubtedly learn a bit from a course in customer etiquette.

    I had A Lovely time at the hotel, and the staff was excellent, especially the female one who watched my dog when I ran an errand.

    She nice the bathroom is across the hall, we had to keep it locked separately, which is fine, but makes another thing to think about if you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. But, we understand the reasoning and we’re happy to have our own private bathroom regardless.

    The room had great lighting as we were on the top floor and was very charming overall. It was clean and cozy but still had plenty of space. Our bathroom was across the hall from our room, but was for our private use only. The downstairs bar was great to have right there and all the staff we interacted with were warm, friendly and helpful with recommendations and any other questions we had. We were very pleased with the location of the hotel and could easily walk to explore most areas of interest in the city.
