Standard crap Amsterdam hotel. Ridiculously expensive for what it is, and the only plus is the location. Rooms are cramped and tiny, they’ve clearly walked off bigger rooms to create tiny ones, but that’s the done thing in Amsterdam. Shared toilets and showers, relatively clean, so don’t expect any peace or quiet on any level, but do expect the strong smell of cigarettes and weed.

I had the double with private bathroom. Fourth floor via very steep and narrow stairs. The furniture and curtains looked really run down. Had clean sheets and running hot water. If you just need bare basics and a central location, and 100 pounds a night to throw away, this place is for you.

Great location

Ok cheap hotel, friendly reception staff, great location for the city & station. Rooms not the best, very basic, lots of noise from outside. Very dark shower, light above sink didn’t work, minuscule towel provided, no tv. Get what you pay for I suppose, but adequate.

Disappointed

Upon arrival at Hotel Continental, I discovered that the deposit I had made (£71.74) was not being deducted from my account but instead was being held as a separate payment. The hotel representative informed me that a deposit was not required, but they provided me with a receipt indicating that my deposit would be refunded to my account upon payment of the full amount of our stay. Regrettably, two weeks have passed since our arrival, and the refund has not yet been credited to my account, which is quite disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness

Cheap for its location.

The location of the hostel is cool, as Amsterdam is quite an expensive city. I really appreciated the cleanliness, especially in common facilities (it is so difficult to clean them sometimes). Maybe the toilets should be equiped with automatic lighters as they stayed frequently lit (this problem is less present with the shower room). The stairs are really dangerous, this is a real problem to treat and the hostel does not announce it is not accessible to disabled persons!
