The only one advantage of this hotel is location. Rooms are terrible, very small and not clean. No promised wifi. I'll never suggest this hotel to my friends. More

I am all for budget hostels and sparse rooms, but this was DISGUSTING! horrible shared bathroom, noisy, smelly stuffy room with NO WINDOW! and 100% heard mice scratching around our room during the night! horrifically overpriced for what you actually get...should be a lot cheaper... like about £5 a night! I am really not fussy and have stayed in lovely... More

Well, when we turned upto hotel tamara (my brother and I) I was shocked for words...I like others thought that I was in hell.... Dark stairwell, everything extremely old, beds and bedding looked older than my grandma. We decided to stay a night and see what happened. Checked the beds, no bed bugs but decided to sleep in our sleep... More

We had a great time in Amsterdam and really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Tamara. The rooms weren't that big but they were clean and cozy and safe. The staff are really helpful and you can get a cup of tea or coffee free at any time. We loved it here and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone... More

Located within a 5-10 min. leisurely paced walk to the train station. The original room they showed us needed some major cleaning, had mud stains and the mattress looked pretty gross from the previous occupants, but the room they actually gave (the 3 of us), after checking in, was perfectly fine and clean enough to lay our head down at...

The moment I stepped into reception, I knew this was a mistake. We were told at reception that there were 3 shared toilets in the building, but only 1 of them was working. Yes you heard right, one toilet for the whole hotel (say 30 ppl?). The toilet that did work was tiny and utterly disgusting. When we walked into... More
