I have read some of the reviews describing this place as dirty, I found it 'shabby' but clean. Great location and quiet considering where it is. Murphy the cat was a lovely addition to the crazy staff team. Taz, the old guy who generally oversees this hostel was a mine of information and purveyor of copious free cups of tea... More

This hotel was actually better than expected having been to Amsterdam and stayed in the centre quite a few times. Stairs are steep as they are anywhere in Amsterdam. Room was small but when your on holiday it's just somewhere to sleep, which was CLEAN! :) Taz and his Cat made the stay even better with friendly random banter as... More

Inexpensive, central 'Hotel' with a slightly run down air. I guess you get what you pay for, so don't expect too much and you'll find the experience quite acceptable. Rooms really are on the small side, but they're clean enough and the communal facilities on the landing (each floor) are adequate. Has a sister Irish bar, The Blarneystone, if you... More

Of course, when choosing this hotel I did not have expectations of finding the best accomodation in the world, since it was one of the cheapest in the neighborhood (still, not CHEAP, only cheaper). When entering the hotel it was so dark you couldn't really see all the dirty around... but then, when opening the window of our room, we... More

The good: The location. 10 minute walk from central station, Anne Frank, right great in the middle of downtown. The bad: I booked The hostel online for 70 euros a night for two in a double room. This seemed WAY over priced for what it was. I heard people stopping by and the manager was quoting them 100 euros for... More

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.
