DON'T STAY HERE
DO NOT STAY HERE. Worst hotel experience of my life. Upon check in at the Kebab Shop (don't ask), we were taken to a neighbouring building, a building being used to house carwash workers. We were then taken through the workers living room, through scary corridors, into a dump of a room. Toilets/showers were disgusting, with used razors being left around, along with other gross toiletries. We knew this was one of the cheaper places to stay but I can't believe how bad it really was. It was like a saw movie and nothing like the images you're seeing on the advert. We checked in at 11pm and therefore had no option but to stay one night. We checked out early next morning and the owner is refusing to refund us. DON'T STAY HERE.

The room itself was spacious with a couch and beds, with heating. The toilet was cramped with a barely closing door. Okay for one night. Wouldn't stay for two.

The manager made us pay an additional amount although I had the full receipt from you (Expedia). In addition, he asked us to pay another additional amount for keeping our luggage for 2 hours until the check-in although I called him the previous night and he didn't mention it.

Cheap but generally bad
- This is not hostel but guest house - think about it as cheap airbnb - The check in and check out went smoothly - Cleanness was basically bad with rats running through my room during night - It was very cold there, windows in room weren't providing any insulation at all

Properties in our price range were very limited during this period, and so I felt fortunate to have found this listing. I was wrong. I felt misled by the listing. I was under the impression that by renting the entire room that we would have our own dedicated bathroom and shower. We did not. The "restaurant" mentioned was not open at anytime during our stay, nor did it appear to have been open anytime recently. The "laundry access" was a open-air kiosk a block away. Our room was cramped and hot, and did not cool well with the one fan provided. There were two chairs in the room, and one small knee-height table, not nearly enough for a 6-bed room. Lastly, there were hairs in the bed prior to us using them. ...I will say that the fridge operated well, and there were two grocery stores within a 5 minute walk. I would not rent here again.

Un poco acorde con el precio, pero si el personal fuese más atento, estaría mucho mejor, al llegar hay que llamar para que vengan a hacerte el Check in y entre que llamas y llega a alguien a atenderte puede transcurrir entre 30 min y una hora… es buen sector a solo 30 min caminando del centro de Ámsterdam y a unos 20min caminando de la estación central de Amsterdam, lo incomodo del alojamiento fue el el baño de ducha que no tiene cortinas y el baño W/C que está separado del otro, pero es muy chico, una persona que mida más de 175 de alto no entra en el W/C…

Preferimos pegar chuva a ficar no Hostel
Lugar extremamente ruim. Um quarto com 3 beliches, sem banheiro. Não há área de convivência externa. Não há banheiros ou chuveiros dentro dos quartos. São 2 lavabos e um banheiro coletivo para todos os hóspedes, de todos os quartos. As mulheres que estavam conosco, incluindo minha esposa, ficaram muito inseguras e desconfortaveis ao tomar banho sozinhas, pois todos tinha acesso aos chuveiros. O dono, aparentemente estava nos fazendo um favor, pois não fez nenhuma questão de ser educado. A rua é barulhenta e no quarto que ficamos, se a cortina ficasse aberta, a sensação é de que era uma vitrine.
