The layout of Amsterdam can be a little confusing for the uninitiated. This spot certainly isn't in a _bad_ location, depending on what you're after. It is right in the middle of tourist hell, which wasn't ideal for us. Online maps indicated that it was ~1.5km from the center, near as I can recall. I don't know which "center" that was supposed to index, but as I said, this is the heart of the touristy part of town. The best thing about the location in my view were the surrounding businesses -- a well-known coffee shop, a cozy brown bar, and a Portuguese restaurant that far exceeded my expectations (I used to live in Spain and am a great lover of Iberian cuisine, so take it from me).

Hotel is very well located, within walking distance of almost every objective, the area is close to lots of restaurants and shops. Check-in and check-out went smoothly, the staff was very friendly and helpful, secured access in the hotel with the room card. Room was spotless clean, bathroom well stocked with amenities, apart from the access to the upper floors and maybe room size we saw no difference between this hotel and a 3 star rated one. The stairs were indeed a challenge, but there are plenty of warnings by other reviewers and we knew what to expect.

This place is not that clean, too bad. They need to do something about cleanliness. There are stairs that are difficult to climb, if its hard for you so Must be taken into account..... but I had no problem with that.
The location is close to the city center. The room is not so small so its greate for a single traveller, and the staff was Friendly.

“Good location, small & fairly expensive rooms”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
We booked 2 rooms - 1 was passable in terms of size of the bedroom and bathroom. However the other was like a dungeon, right next to the stairs and main entry. The staff were not at all quiet when preparing for breakfast and there seemed to be no soundproofing - so early wake ups each morning. The window in our room was tiny and couldn't be propped open so it was very stuffy and claustrophobic. Very disappointing to experience the difference in rooms when the same price was paid for each.
The location is quite central and allows easy access to most locations around the city.

“You can do much better for the price in De Pijp or another locals-only neighborhood near the center.”
- • Leisure trip

The problem with this place is that it is essentially a youth hostel masquerading as a hotel. The rooms are quite small, uncomfortable, and poorly adorned (the one piece of art on the wall was so hideous and creepy that we had to take it down for the duration of our stay, further exacerbating space limitations). Whoever drew up the plans for the bathrooms was clearly smoking some of Amsterdam's finest kush, because they are angular, messy, and guaranteed to leave anything you bring inside soaking wet. Worst by far, however, is the stairwell. This place has a quite typical Dutch staircase: steep, winding, and treacherous. We were on a mixed trip, business and holiday, and had a fair bit of luggage on hand. Without an elevator in the facility, getting that luggage up to the third floor and back down was extremely dangerous. One missed step could have meant a very serious injury. It's reason enough to avoid this place in my view, especially since I've stayed at other comparably priced places in the city where this wasn't an issue. The only thing I'll add is that no staff is present between midnight and 8:00. They just leave a number for emergency situations. This left me constantly anxious that if I were to misplace the room key I would be unable to get back inside the building. Without an active EU SIM card this could indeed have been the case, as it wouldn't be easy to contact the staff remotely after hours. Suffice to say, there is enough wrong with this place that I could only recommend it to a very young backpacker with expectations near to zero.
The layout of Amsterdam can be a little confusing for the uninitiated. This spot certainly isn't in a _bad_ location, depending on what you're after. It is right in the middle of tourist hell, which wasn't ideal for us. Online maps indicated that it was ~1.5km from the center, near as I can recall.

The bathroom was quite smally and the shower had a broken door. To access the room you had to climb a set of very steep stairs. Our room door wasn't opening with the keys so we had to get in with the help of the staff. This problem didn't allow us to stay out after midnight
The location was near the Museum Square and it's easy accessible by public transport

“Extremely disappointed ”
- • Leisure trip

This was a single room (27) that was minute. Walls paper thin, you can hear people talking in adjoining rooms, doors constantly opening and closing. Toliets flushing, showers running, floorboards creaking etc are so loud. Impossible to use toilet if you are over medium build as half of the wash basin covers it. Room wasn't swept in the three days I was there and the bed wasn't made up either. Duvet was just thrown over the crumpled bed sheet. If you have any mobility issues you will not get up the stairs (no lift) they are very narrow and extremely steep. Honestly hate giving bad reviews but this was a shocking stay, the price was €104 a night. At half that price it would not have been value. Sorry.

The window didn't close very well. Although provided, we didn't serve breakfast at the hotel, but by the looks of it the lobby would be too small to accommodate all guests. Rooms facing the street (us and another couple were stationed in the two rooms at the 3rd floor) are noisier. Noise insulation could be better. Also, there's the noise from all the planes landing at Schiphol, but obviously this isn't the hotel's fault and most centrally located hotels would be affected by this; just know what to expect.
Hotel is very well located, within walking distance of almost every objective, the area is close to lots of restaurants and shops.

It was our second stay in that hotel. First time was better. The dust was everywhere. Fingerprints on the closet and on the sink in the bathroom and the wooden roller blinds were really really dusty.(actually dust contains 90% of human dead skin cells) but otherwise hotel was good and we liked the area, it is located on quiet street and walking distance to the city. And hotel hosts were really helpful and friendly.
