This was surprisingly a great place to stay. I got this hotel last minute. Cheapest lodging around, unless you want to sleep in a room with six to 12 other people (and one of those people is always sick. You think you've got the 'good hostel', until in the middle of the night, you hear that ominous cough, cough, cough and you want to go all Full Metal Jacket on them).
Service was a little questionable, but ultimately got what I needed. Room wasn't amazing but I got what I paid for. If you need a little space in between you and the insanity around Amsterdam Centraal, this is the spot. You can actually use the far less crowded Lelylaan Station instead as a launching point; there is a tram outside of the hotel that takes you right there.
And, not a bad thing, but these folks have a policy where you have to leave your hotel key at the front desk every time you leave. I guess that's fine, just, interesting. read more
