Great location for solo travellers. The stairs are small and twisty so don’t bring large luggage or heavy ones to this location.

Good central location

Very helpful staff, very central location close to all the sighs and attractions, the room was excellent, but the very steep winding stairs to the upper floors may be a difficulty for some visitors. Overall a very enjoyable stay and I would use this hotel again.

In the heart of the redlight!

The place was the best trip to the redlight yet, this hotel is located right in the middle of all the action, you can leave the window open and hear the festive atmosphere all night. Literally next to some of the best windows the district has to offer and right across the canal from Casa Rosso. Bar downstairs in open 24/7. Rooms are what you can expect in the RLD, it's part of the charm. Includes breakfast in the morning. I miss it already.

Shared toilet and showers, lots of street noise, beds was hard but clean. the security door is in the middle of the stairs so don't stay here if you have any luggage. Overall overpriced for a city as walkable as Amsterdam. No need to stay in the Red Light District when it's a 10min walk to some much nicer areas. Included breakfast was typical European fare: breads and cheese and jam, not bad.

It is in a good location but it is quite loud, always smells like urine outside. The stairs are ridiculous. Breakfast is bland and tasteless. It would be fine for <€75 night but it is not. Rooms need fans and modern TVs, they are maybe 300mm ? People smoke in rooms though they are nonsmoking. I would not stay there again if given the option.

Located in the red light district, the atmosphere is not ideal for staying. The room was small and located in the attic. There was no lift, and the narrow stairs made it hard to bring up and down luggage. However, the staff was nice.

The only good thing about this hotel is its convenience, it is in the heart of the Red light district and few minutes walk from the Amsterdam Centraal. The hotel stairways is very steep, not good for 50 years old and above or anyone with some disabilities, its a struggle to go up the stairs and nevermind if you have luggage lol. Our room sink is blocked, informed the gentleman when we arrived and i have been told it will be fixed when the cleaners come in the morning, but did the cleaners actually cleaned our room ? i would say NO , the good thing is we only stayed there two nights just to sleep , we were out all day. When you come out from the hotel you can smell strong disgusting smell of urine, male urinal situated directly in front, there is a thai restaurant underground of the Hotel wanted to eat there but discouraged due to the smell. The room we slept in was warm no fan or air conditioning , you can open the windows but the noise is too loud at night, bars and sex theaters just oposite the hotel so expect drunk and loud party goers. Will never go back to this hotel. And btw its a shared toilet and shower 🙁

DO NOT stay here if you want a good night’s SLEEP

On the plus side, the reception/bar staff were friendly. Also a fan was provided in the room. On the minus side, the room was small, had a shared bathroom and toilet and the promised toiletries amounted to one small bottle of body wash - for my entire three nights. The decor was dated and the shelf inside the wardrobe was stained. The television was minuscule and placed at the head of the bed, making it impossible to view when in bed. The main problem is the constant noise. I knew the “hotel” was in the Red Light District, so was expecting noise outside, and in fairness the windows blocked out most of it. It was the noise inside the hotel that ensured I did not have one good night’s sleep. The rooms are so crammed together that anyone entering a room is going to disturb neighbouring occupants as there is no way of closing the doors quietly. As a result I was woken throughout the night and every morning at around 07:30 by multiple banging doors. On my final day the cleaning staff appeared to have started at around 08:00 adding to the noise preventing anyone from sleeping in. The “hotel” is more suited to be a hostel for backpackers. I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting a decent night’s sleep.
