Old Observatory

The hotel smells bad so the staff constantly sprays this air freshener around that smells like bug spray..the towels r frayed and have holes in them..my single room was very small and so was the shower..there is a big hole by the front steps that is dangerous..8 steps to get into the hotel..the breakfast was OK.

Checked in was very quick and I arrived at noon and booked for 2 nights single room and they didn’t have single room on first night so I got to sleep in triple bed with private shower and bathroom for one night and moved to my original reservation at single bed room the next day. No problems everything was quick and got to check in early. Location is amazing 20 mins walk from central station and beautiful Amsterdam and the bathroom is very basic - I guess it’s typical bathroom in old Amsterdam houses. Be careful with the stairs and overall great stay and it’s very basic accommodation so don’t expect luxury
