I found the location, staff, layout and cleanliness all top rate. The establishment is having some renovations that were annoying, but can just imagine how very beautiful it will be once completed !! Will be back

The location is pretty convenient. And in general was ok. It’s an old building with difficult stairs if you have a big luggage. Furnitures are a bit old. There’s a lot of noises from the neighborhood buildings and when they are cleaning the hotel.

All the staff were so lovely, very accommodating and made me feel at home during my stay. Definitely recommend coming here as it’s right in the central. It does get abit noisy at night due to location but earplugs are fine (you can buy some from the reception). Thanks again for a great stay :)

I love how they gave the history of why the building is as unique as it is. Its also right next to an amazing bakery which is a welcoming smell when you wake up in the morning. Highly recommend this hotel!!

Adorable hotel, it does not have amenities, however it’s clean, safe, VERY convenient for food/shopping and the main train station. Staff was wonderful, rooms are small, but then the building is old/historical. There is no elevator, this is manageable. Didn’t experience any noise issues. I would definitely stay at the hotel again.

A real gem at a central location
This is hands down the best of Amsterdam's "budget" hotels. Location is amazing, rooms are clean and well equipped and staff are super friendly and helpful.

Best budget hotel
I think i was somehow upgraded, because i paid for single room but ended up in a triple. Anyway, it was great - big, clean, right on the street with a cool view but not so noisy. Really good for the price and area. I'd love to stay in this room again.

Great location
Great location, everything is within walking distance. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can conveniently store your luggage at the hotel after check-out. Only drawback is a tiny bathroom.
