Budget Hotel Barbacan  

Free WiFi.

Warning! This place is a horrid. It ruinined our trip. First they said we dont accept card (main reason for choosing) then I had to pay to withdraw money on my credit card, staff were very rude and shared toilet did not lock! The to top it off they blocked our key cards everyday! So we had to keep getting them activated.

The hotel desk staff was friendly and accommodating, giving helpful information for transportation and local dining. Were will to address noisy floor neighbours. The location is good and very close to tram stop and a Hop on Hop off stop. Several attractions in the Holland Pass are located nearby - Portugese Synagogue, Artis Zoo and the Hortus.

The hotel is very tired looking. Everything looked as though it needed a good scrubbing and some bleach, a fresh coat of paint and carpets cleaned. Our bed was broken and repaired and squeaked every time we rolled over. Sheets were never changed, pillows skimpy and towels few. The bar and seating lounge, adjacent to the hotel desk, was unavailable to guests which is important because the wifi works best in the lobby. The shared bathroom was dirty-looking with blackened grout on the floor tiles, the sink didn't work and there were numerous cracked and broken tiles in the shower. This could be such a lovely little hotel overlooking a pictureque canal in a quiet part of centre Amsterdam with just a little bit of effort.

There was very little to like. The room was spartan, there were 3 flights of narrow stairs with no lift. The credit card pay facility was out of order - so I had to take out cash to pay.

The members of the staff were really rude; services like breakfast and payment by cards advertised on the web were not available. The room was really poor for the price.

good beds, clean bathroom, nice bar on the ground floor.

this hotel was nice and simple.. staff where really nice and helped me out. The hotel is about a 20 min walk from the city centre which was awesome! the rooms where clean and tidy and suited our needs. The hotel has free wireless internet and the tv in the rooms worked fine.

The only bad thing i can say about this hotel is that the toilet door on our floor didn't lock which was abit of a pain for getting showers ect. so we just went to another floor and used that shower so we could lock the door.

Very nice hotel

Stayed here with 7 other women for a 30th birthday weekend away. We all stayed in the double ensuite rooms . The rooms are compact but neat and tidy, price and location was good. Would recommend for budget hotel option.

Receptionist is helpful. Close to Tram.

Rooms are not clean. Noise isolation is not good. When I turn back in bed, it makes noise (bad furniture).

Price was reasonable the staff were courteous and helpfull and hotel was well situated

The stairs were steep and hard to climb with luggage.Shared bathrrom was very spartan. Mattress was hard

The room was nin poor state of repair,mould on the walls which was quite a lot, flooring poor,wardrobe in a poor state.No facility for making a hot drink.

Close to city center

Very disgusting place. Small numbers. All is ragged. A place for addicts. There is nothing to do there.
