Staff was very nice and helpful, they even give you a welcome card and complimentary drink. Location is just about close to everything you want to see. Love the Rock and Roll theme gives the place a bit of personality without being tacky. Only complaint about the room is the TV is a bit old. Also a heads up if you have large luggage or have any injuries or disabilities this hotel doesn't have an elevator so you'd have to walk potentially 4 levels up the stairs while carrying your stuff

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The main advantage is location - most attractions are within walking distance. Sadly, this is the only advantage of this hotel. Our room was in the basement, next to 2 public bathrooms and a shower. It is incredibly loud due to the street noise and people using bathroom all night long. The walls are very thin. The couple right next to us was engaging in intimate relations 2-3 times a day with energy suitable for porn actors. I had to keep TV on and knock on their door at night to avoid feeling like I was a participant in their romantic adventures. Iwas on vacation with my 13 yo daughter and it was a horrifying experience. Would not recommend to any travelers with children.

We were on the fourth floor. We had to tote nine bags up 5 inch wide stairs that narrowed never told about that, no lift-elevator, no ac, unaware that three roads under construction couldn’t get to our hotel, had to drag bags in from long distance, no parking. Couldn’t have been worse of a stay. Bathroom had a state of mold and constant mildew smell. You need to maintain your property.

Check-in was very smooth and easy, and the girl that helped us at the beginning was extremely helpful and kind. Loved the location of the hotel, but the stairs were way deeper than we had expected, even though we were warned. We had another female employee that was a little rude to us when we stopped by in the morning and thought we could have some yogurt that was out, but everyone else was excellent

This is a really cool hotel located in the center of the city in the historic area. Easy ride to and from Amsterdam Central train station and conveniently located. Walkable to every place you can imagine in the historic district of Amsterdam. The room was clean and on the larger side, however it had a weird shape, this made it challenging to get around. We were in the 3rd floor ( equivalent to 4th floor in the US) and the stairs were a killer. Very steep and dangerous looking if you have mobility issues this is not the place for you. Also pack light if you plan to stay with them. There is no AC in the building, Amsterdam weather was mild during our visit, but one day got to mid 70 and the room was hot, you could not open the window all the way so this made air trapped in the room and this contributed to the problem. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I would definetely stay here again.

Hip venue with hostel elements

I didn’t realize until they “reminded” me two days prior to check-in that I had booked a room with shared bathroom. Tiny sink and mirror in my room. Toilet was a few doors away on my floor. Shower was on the floor below me. Stairs are extremely steep and narrow (no elevator) so challenging to navigate even with just a wheeled carryon bag. Loved the music theme decor! On site bar prices were reasonable. Easy walk to bars/restaurants and Rijksmuseum

Fun & well-located place to stay

The location is great and the club-theme is fun. There is a cosy pub/reception area with a pool table, record player and a selection of vinyl. It's a traditional building in Amsterdam, so the stairs are steep! Our room was on the 3rd floor, which provided some opportunity to exercise. Worth bearing in mind if you have a lot of luggage or small children. The room continued the club theme and was clean and well serviced each day. Breakfast is available, but we didn't try it.
