“What stands out is undeniably its location-smack in the Red Light District and just a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal, though this also brings noise and some odors. Be prepared for steep stairs, shared bathrooms, and a very basic experience; still, if all you need is a place to sleep, this could work.”

Great Location and Friendly Staff

great locationfriendly staffclogged drain
The location was superb. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was included. The hotel is located just minutes from the central station. It was quiet on our side even though we were facing the street.
The shared toilets and showers were not very clean. The shower drain was clogged. The toilet seat was broken.
