Simply okay but not as expected...

Good and simple breakfast, friendly hosting, newspaper, clean and very well located.

In the picures you see a single bed but they have none, it's all "bunk" beds (on top of each other). I Wouldn't have booked if I had known. WIFI does not work in the rooms (Do not advertise if it's not working, please).

It's nice to feel that the employees care

I was so happy with the girls at the reception. Friendly and smiling, willing to help when asked. Immediate service (I only remember the name Jeanine, but the other girl was also quite nice). Quiet place, comfortable stay. I appreciate that I was allowed to stay at a 1st floor room instead of a 3rd floor, because I hap a heavy luggage, without extra charge. The best part was the already-marked map, which showed the sights and the bus number that would take you there. Cool!

I know you hear this all the time, but isn't it possible to install an elevator? It was almost impossible to bring my luggage down - and quite dangerous. I kept thinking 'what if something happens now, who will be paying for the hospital?' And I also think that there were some stains on my bed cover.

Lovely staff and can rent bicycles from the hotel. Quirky and sweet place to stay.

Very simple/basic, but has a charm.

A lovely,clean little hotel with friendly staff and great breakfasts!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were excellent (the shower and toilet were shared between 4 rooms but I never had to wait to use them). The breakfast (included) was great and consisted of a range of cereals, cheeses, salami, toast and jam, tea, coffee etc. The bicycle rental was amazing - the hotel is a little out of the centre (but not far) and having a bike to get into town and then get around the whole city for the rest of the day was amazing. The staff have maps of the wider area in case you want to leave the city on bike for a day trip. You can also use the secure garage if you arrive with your own bikes. The hotel is on a quiet street and is calm at night. There is wireless internet available for free, and if you don't have a computer with you then there are two computers downstairs you can use (again, free). Overall, a lovely little establishment! Highly recommended.

None.

Pleasant and cosy hotel suitable for spending a night in Amsterdam. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Wireless connection works quickly and steady. Great breakfast.. Simply, we recommend it to young pairs or unpretentious businessmen.

Good value for money but don't expect too much

Very nice people, friendly and helpful. Good location on a nice, quiet street, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. Bicycle hire on site. Free use of internet.

Rooms quite small, especially on the 3rd floor. Try to get a room on the first or second floor if possible! Shared toilet and shower were not great.

Clean and Safe with Helpful Friendly Staff

The staff people were incredibly helpful with maps and directions,recommendations and advice. The many steps to the higher level rooms are rather taxing for ordinary folks, but probably a breeze for cyclists. We chose the hostel for the bike rental feature, didn't have time to use bikes, but liked the hostal and would definitely stay there again. It was a little more expensive than I would expect for what it is,but it does have an OK free breakfast and wi-fi and a connected computer in the lounge area and felt very secure and was also clean and very friendly. Recommended.

Not too far from town that it's hard to come and go but far enough for no noise pollution. Very friendly and very helpful staff -they even give you a map:) The shared toilet was always clean and the shower was really good (especially seeing as we were on the 4th floor) You get loads of TV channels in the rooms!

The stairs were a big strain on the legs. The double bed was a little disappointing as it was just two single beds but still surprisingly comfy.

1.) Situated not far from the city center at a resonable price. 2.) Breakfast time is excellent. 3.) The staff speaks good English und auf Deutsch konnte ich auch Reden.

1.) In the bathroom I faced with a pluggage regarding the shower. 2.) The staff missed to inform the guest, there is a painter working and going for room to room with own key. 3.) During the night was unbearable noise due to some group of drunked youngs. (group of guests) 4.) Without coins quite heavy to solve the parking problem for a day (for example 22x1Euro from where?) The stuff did not have coins for the guest coming from other country and have no info about need to have at least 20x1 Euro in coin (!) per day. 5.) The breakfast table was full of jam around my plate. 6.) Please indicate with capital letters at your homepage that the guest must pay in advance with cash. I must have phoned my bank to make sure whether the money transfer happened or not. 6.1) In case I use my VISA card I want to make sure about the transferred money is on Your bank account. Not just a chekcking happened by You. It was very very incomfortable to phone the bank, because I thought the money transfer already happened!

Your staff is very friendly! the common room was also lovely to use, and the fact that you have internet is a great thing. Otherwise i didnt find it inconvenient to use the toilet and shower even if they are located outside of the rooms. it was just around the corner...maybe you can stress that in your announcements, since i didnt know whether i would be walking very far to get to a toilet or not... I will definitely recommend your hotel to others travelling to amsterdam. I also loved the area - it was so vibrant...a little off the beaten track, yet central, and convenient with public transport.

would have wished that the toilets were a little cleaner. The sink in my room also had not been washed in ages i think...should be done when a new person moves in.

Very easy to find, just a 3 minute walk from the nearest tram stop. Free internet access, very nice breakfast (bread with jam, cheese and salami) and very comfortable beds. Nice view from the balcony over a quiet park.

The door on the bathroom didn't shut properly so we all had to wait outside the room on the balcony when someone was using the shower.

I think what I like about this place is its cozyiness not some "loud" budget hotel where backpackers mingle and drink I like it for its FREE wireless internet, also the professionalism of the staff and also for my gratitude to the staff for finding back the bicycle (that i thought was stolen) but Bicycle Hotel managed to find it back and not charging me :) THANKS ALOT... :)!!! basically to sum it up, if i have a chance to go back to amsterdam, I will like to stay this place again and also if I have friends going there, will recommend this place.

the staircase is steep (however i heard that this is the case for dutch buildings), perhaps another thing is that they might want to install a vending machine to sell drinks or snacks cause at night some people might go hungry or thirsty

Good sized room excellent service and staff my boyfriend got sick and they were really good about the fact we had to use about 4 towels to clean his spew! great breakfast good quiet location and not to far from the city centre let us use their fridge for our things. Would recommend if you are not planning to self cater

we were charged 80 Euros for our room although it was booked at 40 pounds (about 60 euros). were supposed to get clean towels every day but only got them on the first night. no self catering available

- kind and perfect bicycle rent, maintenance at the own garage of hotel, correct price

- poor, 'economy' breakfast. We needed to ask salami and cheese, it wasn't automatic. Bad taste of coffee. - the room painting on 4th floor is ugly. very simple, weak furniture. - high price for this quality

The staff were very freindly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and I liked the area very much, and that It was abit outside the central tourist area. Staff helpful with neccesary info about the trams. I felt very relaxed and at home there, just what I needed after very stressful journey to get there from Paris.

The stairs were abit scary when desending. Not everyone is fit and agile.Needs to be info on website, that the hotel has no disabled access which I don't think there was.

Really nice folk; Gerrit was especially friendly and helpful. Free internet was a godsend. Brekkie was yummy, the bunks were comfy enough, and the place was pretty quiet on the whole - even with a million fireworks going off! I really enjoyed my stay and will return if possible and willo certainly recommend it.

Those stairs! (Actually they just take getting used to). It would be helpful to have a payphone that accepted credit cards, not coins only; no good for overseas calls.

We had a wonderful stay at the bicycle hotel, one of the fond memories of Amsterdam. The breakfast was fun, with cerials, yogurt, cheese & salami, etc. Internet access was very convenient. The staff was great, we sat in the lobby area and had long conversations with 2 or 3 people in particular, and went to them for many questions. We also rented bikes for $5 a day and that was fantastic. Its not directly in the center, but the neighborhood is great- next to restaurants, bars, cafes, shopping, trams, the amstel canal, and a great daily market! Much less touristy than the city center. Some of the rooms are small but have character- not a luxury hotel, but perfect for traveling with a budget and a charming nice place to be based out of on your stay. We loved it!
