The Bulldog is really better described as a hostel than a hotel - there are some private rooms but the majority are dorm style rooms; however there is a bar/lounge downstairs and the staff were very friendly and helpful - as well as having overt security everywhere which was quite reassuring.

I stayed with a friend in a dorm room - they are bunkbeds, so be aware if you're going on your own that you might not have a preference as to top or bottom bed (Although I'm sure people in the room would be flexible)
Good spacing between the beds in the room, about 6 feet between each bed, with two lockers in between - the lockers didn't seem that secure, but good enough for leaving non-valuables in.
The room I stayed in was en-suite, with separate shower/wet room. Room was clean and warm, as was the en-suite. Only three power sockets for a room of 10 though!

Great location, only about a 10 minute walk from the train station and in the heart of the tourist area, so made getting around very easy.

Only downside is the service at the bar - they do serve food and snacks but there seems to be a disconnect between the bar and the kitchen; I was brought the wrong order on two occasions, and on the third the food never materialised! Drink service was good however, and plenty of places to eat outside of the hotel, so not a big deal for me.

Nice perks - free (fast!) wifi throughout and free 'breakfast' (toast, sliced meat/cheese, juice and coffee basically)

The rooms are very average and its location in the Redlight isn't the best, lots of sketchy-types and creepy older men around. The service was very cold and as one of the more expensive hostels in town it was a poor value. I think it's popular for it's name and frankly, undeservedly so. I've stayed in many hostels and suggest looking elsewhere first.

This hotel is what it is. It is cheap, clean, and close to shops and the Red Light District. There is a bar/ smoking room in the back of the lobby; but don't order food from there. Go out and explore the city!
It's a great place to meet young travelers and I always felt my belongings were safe. There are lockers in the rooms and the hotel staff were very friendly. I always felt comfortable speaking English and had a great time here!

I have stayed with 2 friends at the new apartments at Spui Street and say that it has been worthy of it. The place is brand new, is located above The Bulldog Lounge Coffeeshop and close to restaurants, bakeries and other places to make your stay very comfortable. I recommend foe sure !!!!
