Elena Nechaeva Very nice hotel: 1 February 2011; 7.8; + Location; - No wardrobes,very little rooms

Michael Rosenzweig Great services, welcoming flexible staff: 13 January 2011; 10; + Gives more than others in same cost bracket. Substantial buffet breakfast, flexible friendly staff, visitors made to feel welcome.

Hugh Would stay here again but only for overnight visits to A'dam: 22 December 2010; 7.2; + Location, lively area with plenty of bars and restaurants, even a coffee shop next door Warm and clean Breakfast was adequate (cheese, meats, bread, coffee, tea and a breakfast drink aka 'juice'); - Room was tiny and no space to hang up more than a couple of shirts and a coat, so OK for an overnight stay

Mikelina Zimina: 3 December 2010; 4.4; + Excellent location; - Girl at the reception desk is not very friendly nor helpful

Mel Nice for a few days trip: 23 November 2010; 7.4; + The staff is nice, you're free to leave and come back at anytime. They don't even bother you if you d'ont leave the room a 11, but of course they don't clean it.; - Not particulary pretty, a lot of stairs with no elevator, small hotel

Anonymous Good price, bad quality: 27 September 2010; 5.8; + None; - Poor breakfast, no daily fresh bread. No jus d'orange. Room was cleaned very bad! There was a missing quilt on one of the four beds. And on three beds there was no pillowcase.

Tijana Stanic GOOD DEAL. GOOD LOCATION. NEEDS A BIT CLEANER ROOMS.: 23 September 2010; 6.2; + I am sorry not to find out the name of a very nice employee. He helped me to find out the price of lockers at central station and location of Bershka shop. He is doing his job with ease and he is very warm and pleasant person.; - The other employee. Not as warm. The same question if he knows the cost of lockers at cetral station was very simple. Just "NO".

Gregory Cooney Dont book this hotel unless you have no other choice available: 13 September 2010; 2.4; + none; - Rooms very poor, damp and mould on walls, furnishings are ancient, cost is outrageous for the quality this is a €100 max hotel not €300 per night.

Neil Tanner STAY AWAY: 21 August 2010; 3.2; + good location; - the hotel is very very noisy and probably could benefit by being pulled down.

kaisar majumder Phenomenal place to stay and savor amsterdam: 15 August 2010; 10; + location,comfort,value,super-friendly & efficient staff; - none whatsoever

Maneesh Shanbhag Would stay there again: 17 June 2010; 7.4; + Good location near Leidesplein and Vondel Park and a lot of night life. Very clean and nice views overlooking the city from the 4th floor rooms.; - A bit of a hike from the heart of old Amsterdam.

Richard Barnett Not a bad place to stay: 11 June 2010; 7.6; + Good location. We found it clean Would use again.; - Reception guy not the friendliest at first.

chuck renuhausay A Meal For Bedbugs: 11 June 2010; 6.0; + friendly reception. free internet, basic breakfast. elevator; - bed bugs, weak shower, no incoming phone connection in room

Boglarka Toth Comfortable stay in the best location where you can feel the city: 8 June 2010; 8.0; + Perfect location. Everything at your doorstep. The public transportation is 1 minute walk. The room (double room) was clean and normal. Bathroom also. They change the towels every day. You get free wifi with quite good speed. The breakfast - included in the price - was OK.; - The walls are extremely thin. The doors are extremely heavy, so every time one door was closing, the whole building heard it and felt it. There is quite vivid nightlife around the hotel, so I would recommend for only those who party and who doesn't mind the noise.

Raphaëlle I wouldnt recommend this hotel: 17 May 2010; 5.0; + The hotel is very central, and it is very easy to walk from it to most districts.; - The hotel had taken too many reservations, so we were first put in a tiny room and had to change rooms in the middle of our stay. Once in our new (and much larger) room, we were disturbed by the manager at 11.30 pm because he needed the extra mattress that was in our room! The double bed was actually 2 single beds put together. Breakfast was quite plain and lacked choice, given the price of the rooms in the hotel. There are quite a few cats in the hotel, which is nice but not very hygenic.

Robin Grimm Terrific!: 13 May 2010; 10; + Great location. Easy access to all of downtown. Very clean and well appointed. Elevator and free WI-FI a real plus. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nice buffet breakfast in charming cafe style dinning area. Really sweet view of the city scape from room.

Pawel Bombrych Good for short stay for one: 13 May 2010; 8.2; + Location, service, price; - very small room and thin walls - you can hear door slamming all night long. not for a romantic gateway :)

Emily Goh Good Location: 3 May 2010; 4.2; + Good and friendly service from staff. Quite convenient to move around the museum area and downtown. Tram stop is very near.; - As expected, room is small and narrow stairs. Breakfast is minimal.

Arran Sagoo Great Hotel!: 22 February 2010; 9.4; + Small hotel with friendly atmosphere and staff who were always helpful and understanding.

josep Good, simple and lovely accomodation: 22 January 2010; 9.4; + location, simplicity, price, service; - Check in, taxes, Neighbour's noise

Thomas Petersen The 3 L's Location location location at a reduced price: 30 November 2009; 6.8; + nice and friendly staff location -close to god areas got a good deal, full price would have been way too much for the hotel standard free internet Â½ the time (free internet available in sex shop down the street); - Narrow and many stairs sound travels easily -depending on other guests it can get noisy small rooms Basic breakfast lack of free internet Â½ the time

kalman harcsa Value for money: 27 November 2009; 8.8; + cleanness, friendly services; - tiny room, steep chairs

Anonymous Top location, but don't expect to sleep: 16 November 2009; 6.0; + Comfortable beds, Location very ideal for a tourist (close to Leidsiplein, Museumplein, and shopping districts); - Management doesn't seem to be able to control its guests, not the best place to get restful nights sleep

DIDIER Pourrais mieux faire !: 8 November 2009; 5.0; + Bon accueil avant que la chambre soit libre par un personnel sympathique et une bonne tasse de café. La situation de l'hotel est idéale pour visiter la ville. La rue est calme; - Hôtel très mal isolé phoniquement, hygiène de la chambre limite (sauf S de B OK), même pas une table ni une chaise pour se poser, juste le minimum. La literie mériterait d'être remplacée. Bref, on en a pour notre fric (200 € 3 nuits avec Petits dej, c'est pas trop mal.

Ilario: 5 November 2009; 8.4; + Location definitly, rooms are clean and a toilette also. They change the towels every day.; - Rooms a little bit small and a breakfast a little too poor, but for the price that you pay it is ok.

MIke Gilders Close to everything but not in a noisy area.: 25 October 2009; 9.2; + An excellent location near pleany of shops and restaurants. Great service from everyone there. Tram stop close to hotel 2min walk. Quiet. Breakfast was standard but always good. Would definitely stay again.; - Stairs might be a problem for older travellers but staff are helpful with bags to your room.

Stephanie Friendly but small hotel in downtown Amsterdam: 6 October 2009; 7.0; + The staff was very friendly.; - The room was VERY small. Could barely fit the 2 twin beds we requested in the room.

Katya September 09: 29 September 2009; 3.4; + - Located in the city-center - Good public transport connections - Easy to find; - - Rooms smell badly - Breakfast choice is really poor - Our luggage was stolen (nobody took care about it since they suggested to leave it in the hotel after check-out) though they haven't told us that's it not on their responsibility and that they do have a locker for valuable things.

Anonymous Bare basics: 27 September 2009; 6.0; + Loved the two "house cats".; - Beds are increadibly noisy. The light from the hotel sign shines in through the windows and makes it hard to sleep. Also noise travels easily from outside into the room.

Anna Korzeniowska Great location and value for money - highly recommended: 19 September 2009; 9.2; + - close to the centre and major tram lines - big comfy room with a king size soft bed - large clean bathroom - TV and wireless internet connection - good continental breakfast (great coffee machine); - - no lift and steep stairs - staff somewhat intimidating (they never smiled!) - with open windows it can be a bit noisy in the evening (byt hey, it's Amsterdam! )

Anonymous Confortable and clean: 12 September 2009; 9.2; + Good location, friendly staff, very comfortable and clean place.; - In the days we stay in, the beds were never changed neither replaced the toilet paper.

Colin Shirley Good low budget hotel: 12 September 2009; 8.2; + Great location, friendly staff. Clean and tidy. Great for the low budget traveller.; - Small room, but what I expected for the price.

Julie LECLERT Great location, quiet, but basic confort: 11 September 2009; 7.8; + Nice, welcoming staff.; - poor breakfast

Anonymous Stay Away!: 30 August 2009; 3.0; + The staff were very friendly and helpful which was a bonus.; - The only positive of my stay were the staff. The room I stayed in was totally gross- dirty bed linen, condom stuck on the roof and the carpet floor was filthy. I would never stay here again!

Anonymous OK not great. Small and rather dirty: 25 August 2009; 7.2; + Relatively close to the city center. It would be walking distance but I took a cab b/c it got late and I wasn't familiar with the area. The cab cost 15 Euro and dropped me off at 140 Kerkstraat rather than at the hotel (25 Kerkstraat). The driver assured me it was only 20 more meters, when it was probably closer to a half kilometer. I wasn't happy! Breakfast of cold meat sandwiches was filling and adequate.; - room was quite small. I had a basement room with only one window to a fire escape so I left the TV on all night so it wasn't so dark. I had to ask for more toilet paper (there were about 2 squares on the roll in the room). The door wouldn't open all the way b/c the bed was in the way. This room would have been nearly impossible with two people or with much luggage. It worked OK for me b/c I was alone with only a small backpack. Bathroom was nice (albeit small) and recently remodeled. However, the room wasn't remarkably clean. There was a booger on the wall (eew) and the sheets weren't very clean.

Henrik Bech Jøgensen Disapointment: 25 August 2009; 4.6; + Good location.; - We got moved to another room without being asked. When we came home one night someone else was in our room and all our things had been thrown into our bags. We then got moved to a room just like the one we had before! It is really not ok to let someone else into a room where our bags were still on the bed. Also every single day our keycard for the door did not work and we had to get a new one. All in all we had a very bad experience. Calling this a Hotel is not correct as we are really talking about a poorly managed hostel.

Paul: 18 August 2009; 6.2; + Close to coffee shops + tram stop. Not far from city center.

Jay This is the friendliest and more attentive staff EVER!: 17 August 2009; 9.4; + The staff was unbelievably attentive, friendly and overall amazing. Both guys I talked to and Janet, who just started, made me feel right at home. I would suggest this hoitel to all my friends! Thank you!; - Air conditioner did not workrnBathroom door hits the bedrnBut the staff made up for it with their amazing service.

Emma Like a youth hostel but far more expensive: 8 August 2009; 3.4; + they let us store our suitcase before check in and after check out. Location good for shopping areas. Good shower.; - Very basic accommodation, similar to a youth hostel. Staff were not friendly until we left (?). Breakfast was very poor and fruit / fruit juice could not be identified. Room wasn't serviced during the day but towels were changed.

Dhafer Malalla Nice stay in Amsterdam: 6 August 2009; 8.6; + Very nice personell with top service.You can get all the help if possible.Walking distance to the whole centre of Amsterdam; - As with most of such hotels u can hear what happens in the rooms s besides and above you.

Sune Hugerud Good location, bad breakfast, no internet in the room: 1 August 2009; 4.6; + Location; - No internet in the room as promised. Breakfast medioker, be there earley or you find yourself witout food

Cristiano Testi Great value for money and top location: 20 July 2009; 7.2; + Great location, generous breakfast, friendly staff, clean environment. Although it's a far cry from the Ritz, for the money you will not find anything remotely as good - certainly not in a smelly, noisy and overpriced hostel. Overall, very good value for money and would definitely recommend! The location in particular is incredible, very central but on a quiet street near a canal.; - There was some dog crap outside which got on my suitcase! Not really the fault of the hotel, but it was a bit unpleasant so I would recommend keeping an eye on the outside as well...

csaba Great location,good price!!: 13 July 2009; 9.6; + Recepcionist's were very kind to us ,especially Vanessa!! Everithyng in a 15 minute's walk.; - The breakfast was boring after a few day's.

Trudy Amsterdam Downtown Hotel certainly recommended: 2 July 2009; 8.4; + Very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower; - Small room

leemor bogin: 28 June 2009; 9.4; + All the workers at the hotel were very very nice. evrytime we needed help they were there to help us. The hotel was in perfect location, it was close to all the good stuff. The room was cleand evryday and the room itself was nice.; - At breakfast there was no water to drink. Only juces and coffie

emma lakin Very enjoyable stay.: 25 June 2009; 8.8; + very clean with very pleasant and helpful staff. good location and 24 hour reception.; - no minus points really. would stay there again. rooms are basic but thats amsterdam in general as far as accomodation goes.
