LATEST REVIEWS FOR THIS HOSTEL

May 12, 2017 - Great place, quiet and clean rooms, helpful staff, 15 minutes from city centre by tram and less than an hour to walk. Only bad point is very steep stairs and no elevator for the disabled.

Sep 25, 2015 - We loved the room, even though it took 64 stairs to get to it. Angel was very helpful. He stayed up until after midnight to let us in after at 10:30 flight from Spain, carried our suitcases up the endless stairs and was there for us whenever we needed him. Due to the stairs I don't think we would stay there again, but we'd miss Angel.

Jul 15, 2015 - We received a room with a view to the river but after a few minutes the landlord told us that an even better room with balcony freed up, so we took that one. It didn't have an own bathroom, we used the shared one, which was big, comfortable and clean, just like at home. Sometimes we had to wait for the bathroom, but then we could also use the one at the 2nd floor. The landlord?/owner? was really helpful, he made us feel as valued customers.

Be prepared, the stairs are really narrow but it's typical for these kind of dutch houses. It is located in the edge of the city center, close to the Albert Cuyp Market and a few tram stops from the Royal Palace. The room didn't have an air condition though (as most of the dutch houses don't) and the room was really hot when the temperature outside was above 30 degrees.

Nov 11, 2013 - So I arrived at the Amstel river view for a 4 night city break. To be greeted by the steepest stairs I've ever seen. - if you're not good with walking up staircases (elderly) then this place is not for you! The owner is very friendly and has obviously tried to decorate the place but the paint is cracked on the walls and it just looked a bit half done. ALL the rooms on each floor have one toilet and a shower room between them. When booking I was led to believe I had an en suite room. There is no breakfast included although some sites may say bed & breakfast. The twin single room I was in was tiny for two people to stay in and contrary to the 'info' part about the hotel rooms- we did not have a river view..this was extremely disappointing as we instead looked into peoples back yards. Also if you book at this hotel you will need to take the tram to get into the city center everyday which takes about 15 mins.

It is a nice area but quite quiet and there arent any restaurants or bars around the corner.

I wouldn't suggest staying here if you're going to be in the center a lot. Also when I arrived the owner had me and my partner pay 'tourist tax' which we feel was absurd considering friends of ours were paying less than us for a more central, perfectly nice hotel with breakfast included.
