Location, location, location. That is what you get. After staying at hotels our previous two cities in Europe, this was quite a change in experience for us. As other reviews mention, the doorway is small but we found it as all part of the adventure. The sink is also small but you can make do. The bathroom runs on a pump so it does “talk back” to you after a flush or a shower and can have an odour due to poor ventilation but some Febreeze fixed that. The upstairs neighbours are courteous about walking around but even if the tip toed you are still going to hear them walking up the stairs. You can even hear the tv sometimes. However, If you want a central, easy to get to place in Amsterdam with character and you don’t care for all the luxuries of a fancy hotel and you plan to spend most of your day out on the town (like we did), this is the spot for you. It’s not a hotel and we did have some hesitations when we arrived but it did grow on us. We would like to see some upgrades made like basic soundproofing and ventilation and then we will be back in the future for sure! 7/10
