This is a very expensive place for very low quality room. It was dirty and unsafe. All the previous reviews are correct. The only reason I booked this stay was because our Vrbo booking turned out to be a fraud and we were desperate.

Great location, mattress could be better

They were very accommodating and helpful. The room was small but fine for our purpose but it had a soft spot in the mattress and should have been replaced. Lots of hot water and a great location! Whenwe come again to Amsterdam we would stay there again.

Bed bugs - didn't care.

I mean, I knew this was a budget stay, so I wasn't expecting much. We just needed a place to sleep and shower while we got on the more important business of exploring Amsterdam. But the rooms were tiny, hot, dirty, dark, and even though they had heat pumps/air conditioning, we had no control over the temperature, so it made them way less helpful. Those things would all be fine, given that I knew it was a budget stay. The problem was the bugs. There was bed bugs. I'm no entomologist, but I'm pretty sure those are bed bugs. I showed reception, and all he said was "Sorry, man". Didn't care very much, didn't offer anything. So, I'd say skip this one, and gamble it with another place to stay.
