“Budget Hotel Ben's central Amsterdam location certainly scores points for convenience; you're right in the mix of shops and transport links. I've read reports of helpful reception staff too, which always smooths a trip. However, it seems some rooms don't quite meet basic cleanliness standards, and that's a serious concern to consider.”
