The only good thing about this place is the location everything else is very poor. Our room had really poor lighting and not much room for four people sharing. Even though we didn't smoke in our room but you could strongly smell that the neighbouring rooms from their smoke especially those smoking pot! Very noisy so don't expect to get... More

We were in a quad for 2 days, I recommend it especially to countrymen Italians who choose to save money to come to Amsterdam  from Eindhoven since it is located just opposite the railway station and the bus terminal .. excellently positioned to reach coffee shops (almost all in the area) and redlight, but also cultural sites such as the...

Great location and really cheap, but that's about it. High and narrow stairs, no elevator. I wouldn't recommend it for a family as it is very close to the red light district and above a coffe shop. It was OK for a group of friends though, pretty good value for money.

I recently stayed in the hotel Ben and it was an all in all great stay. The location of the hotel was perfect as you are right in the center near to central station, dam square and attractions such as the grasshopper and red light district! The staff where also very helpful by coming into room everyday to empty bins... More

Clean, good location, you get what you pay for. Stayed twice no complaints. The steps are narrow and steep so be ready to drag your luggage up..,,,,,,,,,,,,right in the center of the red light,,, can be a little noisy if you are at the back of the building but nothing that would keep you awake at night,,,

Stayed at this hotel last year for about 3 or 4 nights. The hotel is small but comfortable, it might not be the best hotel in Amsterdam but it satisfies an individual's basic needs. Some of my mates didn't really like the hotel but I think it's really good value for money. I would strongly recommend this hotel for a... More

The only little issue was that our room was facing an internal courtyard,... More

This is a very basic hotel but is ideal for a short holiday in Amsterdam. We stayed here for 3 nights, and were very happy with our choice. We took the train from the airport and its only a 5-10min walk to the hotel. Upon arrival, we were told their card machine wasn't working and that we'd need to pay... More

The best thing to be said about this hotel, other than I am no longer there, is the location. It is a few minutes walk from the station, shopping area and RLD. Everything else about it was pretty horrible. It has all the characteristics of a dingy youth hostel, which is fine if you are paying peanuts, but this hotel... More
