2-Star Hotels in Amsterdam

Perfect stay for solo young traveller because the location is awesome and the bed is good for rest. Only things need to consider is their stairs that not good for luggage

The front desk staff were all very friendly, and the room was a pretty standard dorm. The shower had a bit of a drain smell if you showered for a long time, but it was okay. The bathroom, though, had a slight urine odor. The bed curtains were nice, but unfortunately, my perfume was stolen during my stay. You really need to hide your valuables well here.

We e-mailed them to ask if we could add an extra bed in the room and they said yes (obviously for a fee). When we arrived they forgot about this but when I reminded them and they saw the bank transfer they said it would have still been possible to add the extra bed. Beside this, location was perfect and the room was clean. A bit small but it’s fair for the price. Also deposit is 100€.

Excellent location, but severe noise issues. 📍 Pros: Location, Convenience * **Unbeatable Location:** For a transit traveler like me, it was incredibly convenient. It's only about a 5-minute walk from the Central Station, very close. The area downstairs is lively, and the Royal Palace of Amsterdam is right next door. * **Front Desk Service:** One of the front desk staff, who had darker skin, was quite enthusiastic. The other, a Caucasian person, was rather indifferent. Some online reviews mentioned the front desk isn't 24-hour, but my room this time was in a small room next to the front desk, which was indeed 24-hour, because the soundproofing was terrible, and I could hear everything outside. * **Free Hot Water and Coffee:** The coffee machine is the same as the one in the bakery downstairs, where a cup costs 2-4 euros. In Europe, where even going to the toilet can cost money, this is a rare and highly appreciated perk. Definitely a big plus. 😴 Cons: Noise, Space, and Facilities (Extremely Poor Experience) * **Noise Issues (Most Severe):** This was the most unbearable aspect. I was assigned to a tiny room right next to the front desk, and it was ridiculously small. What's worse, the noise practically never stopped throughout the night. * **Front Desk Noise:** I could clearly hear the front desk staff moving, working, and even sneezing. * **External Noise:** There was a constant stream of traffic noise and police sirens from the street. * **Facility Noise:** There was a continuous ”shushing” sound in the room (like a water pipe), and the air conditioning made a very loud noise whenever it started. To even attempt to sleep, I had to force myself to 'harmonize' with the noise, feeling like I was in some kind of meditative endurance. * **Cramped Space:** The room was extremely small, and the bed was tiny. It felt as claustrophobic as a prison cell you see on TV, even smaller than that. * **Outdated Facilities:** The hotel has very steep stairs, which are very inconvenient for guests staying on higher floors (like my friend on the 4th floor). 💡 Summary and Recommendation * **In a nutshell:** This is a classic example of a ”pay for location” hotel. If you're not particular about your sleeping environment, or just looking for a cheap place to crash for a night, then its prime location and the owner's Chinese language service are definite advantages. * **Advice for other travelers:** If you're visiting Amsterdam for a leisurely trip and are looking for a good accommodation experience, I strongly recommend you stretch your budget a bit and choose another hotel. The noise issues here will severely impact the quality of your trip.

Excellent stay! The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help. Their professionalism made our stay very pleasant. The hotel is very comfortable, clean, and ideally located close to all the main attractions and public transport. I highly recommend it without hesitation and would gladly return.

The location is excellent, very close to Central Station and the main attractions, making it easy to explore Amsterdam on foot. Plus, the price is quite competitive for the area. Most of the staff were friendly, and the rooms have air conditioning, which is a plus in summer. However, there are several areas that need improvement. The main issue is a serious mosquito problem: in our room, we easily counted between 10 and 15 mosquitoes on the ceiling. For someone with allergies or who is particularly sensitive to bites, this could be a significant problem. We were also surprised that the booking showed one bed per person, but the room had a bunk bed. We believe this detail should be clearly stated before booking, especially for older guests or those with reduced mobility. Another point that could be improved is that hand towels are not provided, only shower towels. Finally, although it wasn't an issue for us, it's worth noting that the stairs are very steep, which is typical of Amsterdam houses. Even so, it would be good to clearly mention this in the accommodation description so that each guest can assess if it's suitable for them. In summary: a good option if you're looking for a central location and a reasonable price, but they should address the mosquito problem and provide a more accurate description of the rooms and access.

It was nice but the only is they asked 50€ deposit and too late check in at 15:00 but at all it’s goo

Except for the woman at the counter front desk, who shouted at us for ringing the bell in our first night because we didn’t understand how to open the front door with our key. Apparently, touching one button was enough for her to be rude with us. We were not surprised to be honest because during checking she was also very disrespectful to us. She needs to learn how to work at the hospitality service.

The location is good, quite close to Amsterdam station and the city center. To enter the hotel, you have to go to the reception of the hotel next door and have them open the door for you, which is a bit of a hassle, but the location is good and the room is just up the stairs, so overall it is convenient. The toilet and shower are shared outside the room, but there is a sink in the room.

Ett bra hotell med bra läge. Lätt att ta sig till alla möjliga platser man vill utforska. Väldigt smidigt trots att det inte finns någon personlig reception på hotellet så är det väldigt enkelt att komma i kontakt personal både via hotellet och WhatsApp.
