Anonymous Perfect location with simple style accomodation: 9 February 2012; 6.8; + Location, relatively low price; - Shared sanitary, payment during check-in

Anonymous Comfot hotel with a superior location: 3 February 2012; 8.4; + Location is excellent, only a couple of hundred of meters from central station Clean & warm rooms (remember to put heater on and keep window shut with a paper block). Considering this level of hotels, it could be horrible, but Crown was very comfortable; - No sink at toilet, cannot wash my hands there rigt away

Anonymous Very basic: 27 December 2011; 4.2; + location; - i never got clean sheets in 3 days , or the carpet hoovered , cramped , basic , i also asked for a canal view , but i got the back of an alley instead !!!!

Anonymous Good RLD hotel: 8 December 2011; 6.6; + Location....short walk from central station , close to Sam square and perfect location in RLD can smoke weed or hash in bar at lobby which also has a big screen and pool table.; - No elevator and steps are extremely steep, rooms are nothing more than beds with a sink in them, if all you are looking for is a place to crash for the night or a cheap stay in the RLD with a bar and smoke friendly lobby then this is the place for you

Michiel Smit Lovely little hotel in the centre of it all: 10 October 2011; 8.6; + Quiet, comfortble and cozy room. Lovely friendly resident cat

Anonymous Great location, budget facilities: 25 July 2011; 6.6; + Location; - Small rooms

PATRICK ASZODY Poor value for money, but well situated: 3 May 2011; 4.6; + Very well situated, close from the central station and in the heart of RLD. Very good starting point for a visit to the city, friendly staff knowing the district and the city, and able to give good advice. Bar open late at night, no smoking in the rooms.; - Extremely basic accomodation (which is OK if you don't expect more). For some reason, no water in the rooms in the morning, no safe (although the reservation said "private safe") Largely overpriced.

Darren O'Hare Comfortable, clean and central: 11 March 2011; 9.8; + not the most luxurious but definatly a great hotel for being in the middle of everywhere and the staff are so friendly and helpful... will most definatly be back!; - None

Jon Great location, clean but thin walls so loud: 15 February 2011; 5.8; + Great location and clean; - Coldish rooms, no hand wash, expensive. Thin walls so loud, take earplugs!

ANGUS S. LOGAN Interesting basic room - above - a pub experience !: 9 October 2010; 6.0; + I was surprised how basic it was but service was quite friendly ! It was basically a room above a pub with a friendly bar and bar man and a friendly cat !; - The shared WC had no top on the lavatory and the flushing mechanism had a piece of rope / string instead of a metal flushing plunger ! It was alright for me as a traveller on his own but I think you should make it clear how basic [ though it is an interesting experience just as a place to sleep and is very central !] a " hotel " it is !

Tim Fry Perfect location, basic, clean, helpful staff.: 7 July 2010; 6.0; + Location.; - Lots of steep stairs

Gavin Graham Close but not comfy: 7 June 2010; 5.2; + Central Location; - Small untidy rooms

Michael Colley Good budget choice: 26 May 2010; 7.8; + Rooms were spartan but clean and comfortable. Service friendly. Very convenient for station

Tim A disappointment: 12 May 2010; 5.6; + comfortable bed and pillow; - the room was not at all what was pictured on the web site. there was no wardrobe and private safe, the room was tiny, with a very small window, slanted ceilings made standing up possible in only half the room

qian yu: 2 May 2010; 4.6; + Good location; - No toilet in the room!!!!!

Dawn Taylor Clean , freindly , basic but in the heart of amsterdam: 6 April 2010; 7.2; + tremendous spot , really clean but very basic . Amsterdam is about exploring the city and if you want a hotel right in the heart of it with a value for money pint at the bar , this is the hotel for you

Anonymous Hotel in the center of Amsterdam: 29 March 2010; 8.8; + Nice and friendly staff plus the cute cat. Room with window and it was possible to open.; - No own bathroom in our room. No kitchen.

Anonymous Good place if you're not picky.: 3 February 2010; 8.4; + i had the whole floor to myself once the party-goers left at the end of the weekend. it was comfortable and the location was excellent.; - i chose this hotel because i was told they had wi-fi, i was not able to access the internet from the hotel. i also chose the hotel because they were "smoker-friendly," the signs on the doors of the rooms say hash and grass are allowed in the bar but when i tried to smoke in the bar they told me it wasn't allowed anywhere in the hotel. the first night i stayed, a saturday, i could hear multiple people in multiple rooms being loud, slamming doors, throwing up in the bathrooms, running up and down the stairs... the walls are so thin you can hear all conversation in all surrounding rooms. this went on literally all night until check-out the next morning.

Jason Westlund A great place to stay in Amsterdam!: 15 November 2009; 8.8; + Location is perfect, rooms are nice and clean, staff is friendly and very helpful. A great place to stay in Amsterdam!!

Anonymous Not too bad: 7 November 2009; 6.2; + Very friendly service, quiet (thanks to other quests too); - chewing gum on the wall, worn out towels, tiny toilet, very worn out lock on the door of the room (I can't imagine that it didn't fall of)

Anon Really Gross and the Website is lies!: 29 October 2009; 4.6; + It is near the station.; - It is completely misleading on the website. They show a lovely room, the reality is much different - the rooms are shockingly nasty. A real Flophouse. This is the kind of place you come to sleep after partaking in some of Amsterdam's seedier attraction, not for people who want to feel safe and clean.

Jannie Hald Petersen A lovely stay!: 19 October 2009; 8.6; + I had a great stay in the crown hotel, cant remember when i last time met so friendly a staff. I had a small but lovely room on the top floor, and eve though the hotel is located in the heart of amsterdam i couldn't hear any noise from the outside! I'm defiantly staying there again next time i come to amsterdam!

Anonymous Great budget hotel in a great location: 9 October 2009; 9.2; + Clean and friendly budget hotel, the service was excellent and I was made to feel very welcome. Also a great location for most activities in Amsterdam.; - If you are on budget, no minus points.

lee cashmore The crown not bad really: 8 October 2009; 7.6; + the staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean and had sinks in them and the location was right at the heart of a great city location.; - some fo the stairs are steep and the rooms do not have en suites.

Anonymous: 28 June 2009; 7.2; + Located very central. Quiet. Wireless internet available.; - Basic comfort.

Someone: 21 June 2009; 6.6; + Kind staff and good location; - Small room and no breakfast

Adriana Moreno: 22 March 2009; 7.4; + Location; - The two bed room was very very small.

Alina Michalak Ms: 11 January 2009; 9.8; + Excellent localisation in town centre.; - steps too steeply

Thomas Wonderful Place to Stay: 11 January 2009; 8.6; + Location could not have been better. Very smoker friendly. Hotel staff very helpful. Mango juice at the bar.; - everything was very small (room, bathroom) but thats just amsterdam for you. :-)

Boris Levit What you pay is what you get: 16 November 2008; 7.4; + very central location, friendly staff; - the shower was quite far from the room, generally the hotels in amsterdam are too expensive.

Alex Good location.: 12 October 2008; 5.0; + Location is very good. Bar inside.; - Shared toilet. In your room you hear others in the toilet. Narrow steps to the rooms.

Stephen Mills: 27 August 2008; 8.4; + 24hr bar..

P. Munns LADS WEEKEND AWAY AT THE CROWN.: 22 July 2008; 8.8; + extremley friendly staff. good price, cheap, good location.; - stairs to upper rooms were very steep and narrow, would probably not suit older people.

Anonymous: 13 June 2008; 8.4; + The hotel is very close to Central Station. It was in the Red Light District, but it was very safe.; - My room was incredibly small. It was smaller than a dorm.

Gary Knox: 8 June 2008; 7.6; + It was exactly what we wanted, cheap and cheerful but clean and accessable to where we wanted to be. Staff were friendly and accomodating. I would recommend it to any group of friends going over for a weekend.; - There are no minus points - we were group of lads who wanted somewhere clean to crash that did not cost a lot and thats what we got

Kenneth Athy: 8 June 2008; 4.6; + Nice location.; - Stairs!!! He said two flights; it was three! There was to be internet access in the bar area; there was none and neither of the two gentlemen that I talked with had a clue. Very high price for size, stairs, and quality.

Zbigniew Choinski: 11 May 2008; 3.8; + Guinness at the bar; - steep stairs

Anonymous: 5 May 2008; 7.0; + good location in the downtown, still have to mention that its just near the red ligths district; - rooms are too small and not recent

Anonymous: 4 May 2008; 8.0; + Clean and very central; - suites singles, since the room was small

Anonymous Prima voor 1 nacht: 2 February 2012; 6.2; + Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren. Schone kamer en badkamer, in het centrum van Amsterdam. Ondanks de centrale ligging weinig last van geluid van buiten. Prima voor 1 overnachting, niet voor langere tijd.; - Het is behoorlijk gehorig doordat het een oud gebouw is. Daarnaast was de kamer erg koud doordat de verwarming niet goed werkte.

Renate Kresin Der Preis ist der optimalen Lage des Hotels angepasst.: 15 October 2011; 8.2; + Für einen Städtetrip ist dieses Hotel optimal, da wirklich dicht am Bahnhof gelegen und um das historische Amsterdam zu entdecken. Das Personal sehr nett ! Es ist ein einfaches, sauberes,kleines Hotel.Ich brauch keinen Luxus und werde beim nächsten Amsterdam- Besuch wieder dort wohnen.

Anonymous Barely acceptable budget hotel: 1 October 2011; 5.8; + Erg centraal gelegen; - Wel heel erg budget

Anonymous Quiet and low cost: 20 August 2011; 7.2; + The reception is open 24/7, and the people in charge of it are nice. Our room was facing a canal, and it was very quiet.; - Beware of the stairs, they look like ladders !!

Anonymous Günstiger als andere Hotels - wenig Komfort: 12 August 2011; 5.4; + Das Hotel liegt im lebhaften Zentrum von Amsterdam und gleichzeitig sehr nah am Bahnhof. Für Amsterdamer Verhältnisse ist die Übernachtung günstiger, allerdings; - ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht korrekt, wenn es mit anderen Lagen und Städten verglichen wird. Denn an Komfort lässt es sehr zu wünschen übrig- (z.B. Dusche und Toilette auf dem Flur - gemeinschaftlich genutzt). Sehr, sehr steile Treppen (was natürlich den Grund in der Amsterdamer historischen Architektur liegt).

Arno Fellenberg Nichts für seichte Gemüter: 19 July 2011; 4.0; + Einziger Pluspunkt ist die absolut gute Lage im Herzen von Amsterdam; - Der Komfort dieses Hauses ist eher nicht erwähnenswert. Für die Lage ist der Preis aber noch annehmbar, wenn man keine Ansprüche stellen will und den Tag in der Stadt verbringt. An heißen Sommertagen ist das Zimmer untermÂ´ Dach nichts für seichte Gemüter, die mit Schlafstörungen zu kämpfen hatten (stelle ich mir vor). Positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass man in der Nacht noch lange auf der Treppe am Eingang sitzen kann, freundliche Nachtservice-Leute dafür sorgen, dass man noch das eine oder andere Bier mit Blick auf die Gracht trinken kann, das entschädigt dann doch für so manches...

anoniem Geen hotel voor de doorsnee reiziger.: 6 April 2011; 3.6; + helaas geen pluspunten. mogelijk is hotel veranderd van eigenaar, buitenlandse mensen bestieren het hotel.; - hotel was in slechte staat en je werd er met de nek aangekeken. beslist geen aanrader. als de deur gesloten is kom je er amper meer binnen, ondanks dat je er een kamer hebt. steile trappen en krakende vloeren, lawaaierige klanten op de gang. ik kom hier absoluutt niet weer. foto's op de internetsite kloppen voor geej meter. mijn waardering voor dit hotel?.....een 2, slecht.

anoniem Simpel hotel met simpele kamers en lekker dicht bij AÂ´dam CS: 2 March 2011; 6.0; + lekker op loopafstand van CS. Biertje drinken in de kroeg en de mogelijkheid om je blouse te strijken erg prettig.; - Nauwelijks contact met personeel, schoonmaker des ochtens sprak nauwelijks nederlands. KAmer 4 is te warm van radiator is stuk, lekt en is niet dicht te draaien, kamer stik warm

Reijer Klopman Budgethotel met gunstige ligging: 25 October 2010; 6.8; + Prijs, ligging, receptie altijd bemand; - Gehorig, vloer in kamers komt viezelig over

Harry Schellinx Net, rustig hotel in hartje Amsterdam: 23 January 2010; 8.4; + Midden in het centrum, 5 minuten lopen vanaf centraal station Rustig Goede verhouding prijs-kwaliteit Uitgaan op loopafstand; - geen

R.B. Bakels Puur voor een goedkope overnachting op een en cetrale over: 28 December 2009; 7.8; + Zeer centrale ligging t.o.v. station en oude centrum, voldoende kwaliteit voor lage prijs.; - Niet geschikt als je uit bent op sfeer. Dit is een plek om te overnachten, niets meer en niets minder.
