| the quietness of the room wasn't a problem for us even if I put 5/10. The hostel is placed in the center of the city so it is normal. |

| Once in Amsterdam, you must be aware of the fact that you'll have less for your money than in other major European destinations. From this point of view Gesterkorreel is a nice stay for people on a budget. My room was tiny and with poor furnitures, but clean. The staff is friendly and attentive, something which is not usual in Amsterdam, where service is often of poor quality. Very steep stairs indeed, not suitable for people with bulky luggages. The hotel is located on a street full of restaurants (which don't seem to be very good)and coffee shops: a bit of noise in the rooms must be taken into account. Just round the corner you will find a nice bike rental, among the cheapest in Amsterdam. |

| This hotel is a standard Amsterdam hotel - not bad, not good, but with the big bonus of a good quality-price-ratio. I've also been in 3* hotels there and can tell you, the rooms there are not cleaner or that spacier. This hotel is directly in the center near RLD. Lots of Restaurants and (coffee) shops around. |

| Great location for city centre / Dam square / red light district. Also only a short straight walk to the train station. Taxi from the airport cost 45euros for 4 of us (but agree first!) Was my first time in Amsterdam and really enjoyed it, if you like a drink move away from the main streets adn Dam square especially, it's too expensive. All round pleasent hotel, we were only really after a bed for the night which was great and though the rooms weren't huge that didn't matter to us. Superb service on the 24 hour manned reception, always friendly and willing to help. |

| All the restaurants around are handy but the steakhouse across the road was horrible.the room is alot smaller than it seems in the picture but at the end of the day, al you are doing is sleeping in the room. Also no life, we were on 2nd floor which meant 4 flights of stairs. Enjoyable stay though, would recommend it and stay here again especially as the location is right in the middle of Amsterdam |

| As we were at the end of september, i have been very disapointed because the room was too hot (it was not possible to open the window more tant 5cm). The room was also too noisy. It was very difficule to sleep well during the night and it was also very inconfortable to stay in the room during the day. And there were not other place to stay in the hotel. One Quality : The location of the hotel. |

| Camera piccolissima, lavandino piccolissimo, se scegliete questa struttura non portatevi troppi bagagli, sarebbe impossibile gestirli. Rapporto qualità prezzo pessimo! Unica nota positiva vicinissimo a piazza Dam e alla Stazione Centrale. |

| The location of the hotel is excellent but other that that its awful. We were there in Summer and the room was like an oven. There was one piddly fan and that was it. It really was unbearably hot and ruined our stay. |

| The beds and pillows were the most comfortable during our 30 night stay in Europe. The reception was friendly and helpful. We had a room on the second floor that faced the street. It was quiet. The only bad thing was that the windows didn't open very much, so the room remained very warm. Unfortunately there isn't a lift, but the stairs aren't very bad. |

| We were in Europe for the World Cup which might account for some of the negatives of the hotel. The prices were a little high for the quality. Also, it has a great (but very noisy) central location. Also, we were on the top floor and the stairs were very, very steep (no lift). One comment about the service of the hotel: we were a bit surprised when we found out that the hotel gave our key to my brother, who was visiting Amsterdam at the same time. Under the circumstances, it worked out okay, but I'm not sure it's a hotel's place to give a key out to a friend/family member. I don't think I would stay here again, but I think it's an acceptable property. |

| The location of the Hotel is excellent for those who want to experience the excitement of Dam square and the Red Light district. It is not for the faint hearted - the stairs alone could see you off - we were in the attic and it was not an easy climb for persons of a certain age - 40 upwards. There is no assitance to your room, i.e., baggage etc... and after six flights of very very steep stairs an oxegen tank and mask is required. Noise at night can be a problem if you are at the front - a few beers should sort that and you will sleep like a log. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I would go back again - only I would insist on a first floor room next time. |
