Clean, well designed, comfortable and amazing location!

Marija, Serbia

The receptionist is very nice. The room is very well decorated, very clean and very well equipped (espresso machine...). The location is very central (10min walking from Dam square) and the neighborhood is very alive. Highly recommended for couples and young people.

Rim, Lebanon

Bed was very comfortable and there was even a day bed - I was there for a layover so I wasn't able to use it. Location was amazing!

Arnold, United States of America

Great customer service cleanliness and location Sorina helped us with everything Thank you

Rodica, United States of America

The employees they were so helpful and accommodating. This hotel/hostel is right in the center of it all there is a club right downstairs and local bars are open very late. I would definitely come again but with friends not my children as this is the perfect location for enjoying night life and getting around to local attractions.

S-aakhut, United States of America

The location was brilliant as it was just next to Rembrandtplein that has lots of coffee shops to visit and if your looking for a night out, there is also the club 'Escape' which I would definitely recommend. The staff where very friendly and happy to help with luggage. The only thing I would suggest is, if you have difficulty climbing stairs is to request a room on the first floor and the stairs are quite steep.

Abbi, United Kingdom

If you want to stay in the heart of the city then the location of this place is the best thing about it. This is right at Rembrandtplein Square.

Uday, India

Great location and helpful staff. The hotel is in the city center, very close to many attractions. Staff is very helpful and kind. There's a Nespresso machine and a small fridge in the room.

Felipe, Netherlands

Quaint building, great location, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable, massive bed, very quiet in the room in spite of the pubs and clubs nearby.

i was expecting a bigger room, also the room is very dark. The worst part is that there are a lot of very steep stairs. Its very dangerous when you are carrying luggages with you and there is no elevator/lift. Won’t come back again.
The location is really nice, its right at the centre of amsterdam. There are a lot of restaurants around. The room and the toilet are clean.

They obviously can’t change this but it was very very loud from all the bars/ clubs around us and not just on the weekend. So be aware!! I probably wouldn’t stay here again only because of the noise levels
The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was really nice! Was in a great location and easy to get to all the main sites

As almost every place at the center of Amsterdam, they just have stairs and no elevator. We stayed at the fourth floor with a lot of luggage =/ also the room a bit small for three people.
Excellent location! You can eat and drink in nice restaurants near the hotel (few steps from the hotel!). Near to a nice square (during our stay they had a ice skating there). Also near to some stores and supermarket.
