Michael Blackwell Good value, quiet and convenient location.: 12 June 2011; 8.2; + Good location; competent staff.; - Expensive breakfast.

Carlo Bernasconi Not acceptable: 5 May 2011; 5.4; + Location, kindness of the lady at the reception; - Quality of the room: booking several weeks in advance and several times in the year for being offered a choice of tiny and "blind" rooms in the undergrouns or ground floor is a shame

Weaver Weaver This hotel is located central. The rooms are dirty and small.: 30 March 2011; 4.0; + Staff was friendly and helpful.; - It was dirty (e.g. carpet). The room and bathroom were very small. Breakfast was not included, but after we looked at the dark breakfast room in the cellar, we were happy about that.

Barrie Higgins Excellent value for money, very helpful staff and a perfect location: 20 February 2011; 9.2; + This hotel has many positive points including value for money and very helpful staff, but the single factor which probably means we will use it again is it's location. Just outside the City centre with trams every 10 minutes made it perfect for us. The local, traditional cafes were great for an early morning coffee or late night wine after a day in the City.

Tony Dutch Inn: 28 November 2010; 6.0; + The room was comfortable.; - Drainage of bath was poor.

Miklo Ok, but not geat...: 24 October 2010; 4.2; + Close to the center of the city. Only a 15 minutes walk.; - - Pourly quality beds! - Very unreliable Internet connection. - Room (espacially bathroom) to small.

The cooked food at breakfast was poor, but the cold things were of good quality.

Excellent location for the superb tram system for easy access to the city complemeted by local shops & bars; - Even with a cheap deal from the internet a bit too expensive

Richard More like a dungeon than a room: 19 July 2010; 5.0; + Nice people.; - More like a dungeon than a room. No air or air conditioning. Very small room. One person only!

Maria Buena relación precio/calidad: 25 June 2010; 7.6; + Limpio y con muy buen servicio.; - El costo del desayuno es algo elevado y las habitaciones son pequeñas. El uso de WiFi en las habitaciones tiene un costo asociado.

Anonymous Room for improvement: 20 June 2010; 5.0; + Clean; location handy for business school; some nice staff; - No free internet in room; small room; no ventilation in bath room; door to bath room not fitting; some not so nice staff

Irina: 16 June 2010; 4.6; + great location, close to the city center but in a quiet neighbourhood; - tiny room, no space for luggage. didn't think we would be living underground when booked the room (windows slightly above ground level, the view of somebody's feet passing by was not enjoyable); extremely noisy.

Lesley Ewing Dirty room: 15 June 2010; 3.6; + location; - dirty room floor was filthy room too small for 2 people too expensive breakfast too expensive would not stay again. very disappointed

Wayne Willcox The small 'Eden': 13 June 2010; 4.4; + Hotel was generally clean and tidy and the within approx 15 to 20mins walking distance to the centre. Hotel is very close to the zoo and was also within 20mins walking distance to central station.; - Well after paying over 150 euro's a night with no breakfast, i would definatly not stay here again.The room was very small and the toilet / shower area were tiny (you could hardly move when in the toilet area). The staff were ok but generally did not acknowledge you. We were also suprised that there was a stealth tax charged (for amsterdam city tax 17 euros)which we did not expect and also thought that when booking through hotels.nl, all costs had been included. Not the best value hotel in Amsterdam and would suggest that anyone considering booking this hotel looks at others as well!!!!!

Marion Great location, fresh air with openable windows. Walkable/ train C: 8 June 2010; 9.0; + Walkable to Central Station. We rented bikes from CentralStation. Hotel is on tram line 9 and 14, reachable from central station . Located accross Artis Zoo. Clean and Quiet. Great for ones who do not want to be right in the middle of the action, but want to see it up close!; - Did not use the breakfast, which I believe had been lowered to $12 per day. Good breakfast for cheaper just beside hotel at English friendly coffee bar.

Ann B. S. Quiet location near zoo,on tram line: 19 May 2010; 7.2; + Right near the zoo and The Resistance Museum.Clean, friendly and helpful staff. Free computer/internet in lobby. Pay for acces in room.; - I thought a little pricey for breakfast at 15 Euro each.

JJ We would stay here again: 14 May 2010; 8.8; + Wonderful shower. Very comfortable beds. Good selection of food for breakfast buffet in a very nice and cheery room. Staff was friendly and accomodating.; - More vanity space in the bathroom would've been appreciated. Trade the large sink in for more vanity space. Dresser drawers would be a good addition - even just two would be very useful.

Milton Steiger Good for the price: 6 May 2010; 5.4; + Recepion service very good; - Room carpet very dirty - breakfest to expensive

Kate Hooper Fab weekend!: 26 April 2010; 9.4; + The staff were very friendly and informative about day trips and the area. The rooms were very clean and comfy.

Rosaline Nice and quiet hotel at 10 mn walk to historic center: 10 April 2010; 8.4; + near a station tramway line 9, historic centre and zoo.

Anonymous Big room but cold: 9 March 2010; 6.8; + Close to everything. Big room. Nice people working there.; - Very cold room and even though the heat was on, the room temperature was ice cold. The bed was without top mattress which hurts in your back.

Ursula Peaceful and green accommodation in the city centre: 11 October 2009; 8.8; + Well equipped, friendly staff and comfortable beds lovely room and good price; - We could hear people walking up and down the wooden stairs to and from the restaurant from our room - may be good to out some lining on the stair so less noise, especially with high heels

Gareth West Average - could be alot better: 29 September 2009; 5.6; + The decor was nice Staff were friendly and helpful; - Cost was high - Room was tiny! The double that I asked for was two single beds pushed together which had single covers on them (Which really winds me up!). I'm 6ft 1 and I was far too big for the bed and stuck out the bottom. The toilet was broken in the room. I told the guy on reception the first day we were ther and I didnt see him again for the rest of the time I was there. Nothing was done and I had to fix it myself.
