Stayed 5th Jan - 8th Jan, Down a very quiet street-handy for everything-out on main you have the casino, pubs, hard rock cafe, blue boat bus and vondelpark all with in distance.
Just a little walk to the muiesumplein-get a taxi to anne frank-I had blisters for days.
Just up a bit on main you have all the pubs/clubs-Jimmy Woos was great.
At the most room was ok for stay-yes u can hear everything-stayed in room 203-be warned if staying during week-and you want a lie in-kids nursery out back and u can hear them screaming while out playing, lol
all in all a good trip and room was fine-room was hoovered and cleaned everyday with clean towels

Upon arrival..... sheer disappointment, even the shabby outside sign couldnt prepare us for what was ahead. However upon entry we were plesantly surprised with the rustique tables, wooden floors and general ambiance.
We arrived a few hours before checking and so wanted to sore our suitcases. After being issued with the fence post key, my friend kindly took my suitase (being a fine blonde) down the stairs of death and into the dungeon basement, ignoring the suspicious smells.
Having stored our luggage we went out to enjoy the pleasures of the city. We returned to check in and were informed that although we had booked two rooms together we were in fact not going to be neighbours. I was condemmed to the top floor of the left hand side of receiption and my friends the right. Im no bear grylls, but even my friend who's a fireman was out of breath climbing the stairs to hell. Why didnt i take the lift you ask- because they dont have one. Oh and the floors arent linked so to visit my friends room i had to walk all the way down and all the way up again. May i recommend this place as a low class fat camp.

Having reached the summit we opended the gateway to hell!
It soon became apparent there was more DNA in these rooms than the brothels in Amsterdam! Mine came with an interesting patch, i think they must have moved the body a few hours before. I honestly dont know what it was but im sure it hand life in in. My friend saw the upside, 'oh at least youve got a nice big wardrobe' he said. He couldnt have be more wrong... the wardrobe was the bathroom/wetroom/beeding ground for lime disease..
Distraught my friend departed to discover the likes of his room. The only luxuary was the two inch window. It opened but not enought to abort the flithly smell of the DNA in the room. Safety is clearly very important here. My fireman friend soon noticed that a large stripy sock had been placed over the only fire/smoke detection in the room. Stay here at your own peril.

We hired bikes, we went out, partied and enjoyed the city spending nd much time away from armageddon as we could. Our good mood was quickly squashed as soon as we returned to the hotel.We had to shower in the dark as the bulb went, got eletrocuted by the light switch and were constantly examining the red bites over out bodies.

Concerns for our health growing by the hour we finally escaped but not unscathed. We are still discusing the whole experience one month later and are all still very much emotionally affected.

To summerise- If you havent packed your sense of humor, forensic suit and mountaineering equipment, you may not survive to type a review on here

It is really dufficult to find cheap hotel in Amsterdam. I was there in November and found only this one less than 80 Euros. My first impression was good, room is quite clean (not enough), but "OK" I wanted only to sleep there. Big surprise was breakfast. It's difficult to name it as breakfast because it's really small... Generally I recommend.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of December. We were upgraded to a better room on arrival. Room was very spacious. Hotel wad very close to Leidseplein and within walking distance of Vondel Park. Have stayed in this hotel before and would definately stay again. Much better value than the Quentin Hotel in the Leidseplein
