Worst hotel we ever had the opportunity to stay in. Besides the very smelly socks we found in the drawer next to our bed, the drains of this hotel stank like nothing else in this world. We dreaded to head back at the end of the night and after complaining about the filthy room we were put in, was told that: "the cleaning was done by an independent company, all the rooms were the same, and because the hotel was always fully booked, no room was ever cleaned properly." If you are thinking of going to Amsterdam don't waist your money or time on this one!!! It is not cheap for what you get and not possible to cancel when booked in advance.

Please do not ignore all the bad reviews they are all true ! This has to be one of the worst hotels ever, It is dirty and smelly. The staff are indifferent. The rooms are minute. Curtains do not hang prpoerly . Shower would be good if it drained well and the sealant around the bottom was not black with mould. I think even homeless people would be loathe to stay at here. I would advise any hotel booking site to remove it from their listing and the Amsterdam tourist board should close it down

We booked this hotel with some trepidation as we had read previous negative reviews. I did e-mail previously to ask the hotel management how they responded to negative reviews and had they addressed areas of concern - I should have known by the reply which was very bland that they didn't do anything . The place was dirty and dingy , the bathroom smelt , the shower sealant was thick with mould , the carpet and curtains were filthy - I have to say the towels were good and the water pressure in the shower was good (however didn't drain well)but they are the only good things that I can say . We had to change rooms as the first was so small - nowhere even to hang clothes (probably best left in the case anyway) and the second was not much better although at least we could open a window to let clean air into the room. The staff were disinterested is all I can say about them

As a group of friends we stayed at Hotel Paganini under the premise that we were getting a hotel. How wrong were we! The price is extortionate for the quality of the rooms. We were placed in a room on the fifth floor that had 6 beds crammed in with numbers above each bed like some of camp. The location is okay, but other than that I agree with the other reviews. I wish I had been on tripadvisor before booking our stay. What a horrible, grotty, dirty place.
Avoid! Even when we complained due to false advertising they had nothing to say to offer any consolation. Horrible.
