The up side is being very close to the Centrall station. The downside is that ** is generous because the rooms are spartan. The stairs are horrific!

Amazingly quiet, great location by Centraal Statuo

Amazingly quiet given the location. Much nicer than the “fashion” hotel a few doors down which was loud. Steps from Centraal Station but somehow as quiet as the country.

Perfect stay

Great little hotel right in the centre of Amsterdam. Our room was on the top floor, and yes the stairs are extremely tight but this is typical of all old dutch buildings. We were in room 18 which has just been refurbished and the place was immaculate. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. 5 minute stroll from the train station so really accessible. We would definately stay here again withiut any hesitation.

Great central location and handy to the central railway station. Loved that we could walk out onto the busy street area with plenty of eateries and shops. Staff were very helpful, English wasn’t a problem. Just be prepared with strong arms to lug your suitcases up the stairs. 😊 The small room we chose worked well for us. Overall a great place to stay.

This hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a short stroll from Centraal Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Amsterdam's attractions. Nestled in the heart of the city, it offers easy access to numerous sights and experiences. The staff were exceptional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. My room was peaceful and comfortable. While the bed could have been a bit softer, that’s just a matter of personal preference. Overall, I would definitely return and stay here again.

As others have mentioned, this hotel had the basics and was fine for us for what we needed for the night. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful. Great location in city center. We had the quadruple room, so 4 twin beds and a basic bathroom. There was no ac in our particular room, so we had to choose between opening the windows for a cooler room (which meant listening to the noise of the streets below for most of the night), or having the windows closed and being too warm. We wouldn’t have slept great either way. It was fine for one night, but I don’t think I’d want that for an extended stay.
