I came back from this hotel last night, after staying in this hotel with a female friend for three nights. The hotel was clean and in good condition. I had only two problems. When booking with expedia i requested a smoking room, only to find that I had a non-smoking room, when i complained i was told that they are unable to save ooms for guests. The hotel was also far. Although by bus it was only a 25 minute journey for 2.5 euros. However there are only two buses a hour and the last bus stops at 12.00pm. Taxi is very expensive. It was also scary for two women to travel on bus in amsterdam that late, espicially as in zaadam there is alot of bushs and greenery and water and hardly any street lights. It was dead out there, near an industrial business site and cremtorium. it also seems like no one leaves theres house after 6 as there were no one on the streets and no sweet shops. If you have the money stay near the heart of dam, if you dont still stay here as it is accessible to bus and train, youll just have to come home early or spend a fortune on cab. good luck, you will love dam, i did, can not wait to go back.
