This apartment although well located this is not a cute house, it is a typical old renovated apartment building. The elevator was broken, very steep and dangerous stairs to drag up and down. Bed, linens, dishes were poor. The owner was friendly and helpful. He thankfully offered us a fan due to the record breaking hot weather. The room was very small but had big windows that overlooked gardens. Below Motel 6 standards.
Decent comfortable conveniently located apt w/o AC
The owner/manager Gerald is a very friendly & lovely man. Thereâs no person at the front desk, so we made arrangements to meet him for the keys. He wrote out a map for us & gave us tips. The place was basically a studio, fairly clean but outlets were dusty, no a/c (which might be common for many hotels in Amsterdam), linens were all mismatched (more of an aesthetic thing vs functionality) The water pressure was very low & It always took multiple flushes to get the paper down regardless if it was #1 or #2) It was loud as there was construction going on outside. There are VERY narrow flights of stairs to get to the apt, they lift only transports luggage. So do not book if you canât handle 2 flights of stairs. The door leading to the hallway with several of rented rooms was left wide open several times we came home. The street itself is a narrow one way street, so not much traffic comes in & out. Fairly safe neighborhood, close walking distance to places but not much to do in the surrounding area other than a handful of shops & restaurants.
no es lo que contratamos. era otra habitaciĂłn. la descripciĂłn de la pagina decĂa que tenia una Kitchenette y nos encontramos solamente con una mesa con microondas y pava electrica. el baño super chiquito. la bacha fuera del baño, siendo poco privado. la verdad que no dejaba de ser una simple habitaciĂłn..y no tenĂa relaciĂłn con el precio que pagamos. el tĂtulo de excelente le es muy grande.
Been there before. It's within walking distance of most sights. A small apartment (one of four, I think) and not a hotel as such. Everything works fine
Vi behövde vÀnta utanför en halvtimme innan vÄr vÀrd kom ut och slÀppte in oss, men utöver det var vÄr vistelse trevlig. Det kÀndes mer som att hyra en lÀgenhet för nÄgra dagar Àn ett hotell, vilket passade oss bra.
The location of this apartment is great, and for the price it really is about as close to the action as you're going to get, plenty of bars, cafes and shops nearby and all the touristy stuff can be walked to.
It can be a bit noisy in the street late at night (we had a front facing room) but if you're planning to be out until the small hours of the morning then it's porbably going to be you that's causing the noise! The windows aren't double-glazed so even when closed the street noise can still be heard. It's also easy to listen in to what's going on in the next apartment too, as the walls seem to be quite thin! If noise is going to be a problem for you to sleep then this might not be the best place for you.
The room is very spacious, with a private bathroom across the hall, although the hall door doesn't lock (the room and bathroom doors do!) The bathroom is spacious and clean with a lovely big walk in shower and a jacuzzi bath (although this wasn't working when we were there) there's also twin washbasins which is handy. Lots of hot water too!
The kitchen is a bit dated but functional and could do with a bit more cutlery - two complete sets isn't really enough.
Couple of other things I would add; a bedside table and light on each side of the bed, a bed headboard, some more large glasses and some coffee mugs.
But for the price and the location it's not bad at all.
Good central location. There must have been a sewer leak as the smell was bad. Thin walls do not provide much privacy. Multiple locks on doors had the effect of feeling locked in not more secure.
Good size room, great location (close to everything; museums, shopping and site seeing). There is no full time concierge so you have to call in advance. Things you need to know and ask: 1 - the stairs; if you travel with bulky luggage (like I did) ask for assistance there is an elevator that can be used, and 2 - the toiled for the room I stayed is accessible through a common hallway, that was a bit of surprise. It is only for this room, so it "personal" just a step across the hall. Over all the feeling is if you stayed at friends house at a spare bedroom. I would recommend if staying in the city for some time, or easy going. The place is clean, all you need is there and plenty of hot water. If you need a hairdryer they will provide just ask for it when you check in.
