“For solo travelers and vacationers on a budget, this could be a smart pick. The property places you steps from Amsterdam's pulse near the Red Light District and Dam Square. I like the character of its Irish pub and easy access to major tram lines.”

the location was excellent! i'd say it's a three star, perfect for what we needed. lots of restaurants were around, convenient. the central station was also nearby!

the rooms weren't very clean and i found old snoring nose strips stuck to the ground from a previous guest. there was also a fridge, though no logically accessible socket was present to plug it in. the kettle was located under the tv. the socket was half way up the wall!
