This hotel is right in the red light area so can be a bit noisy but has the advantage that everything is at your doorstep. The rooms are very basic but adequate - the all-day movies were a bonus!

This hotel is perfect for singles or couples that need a simple crashpad from which to explore all that Amsterdam has to offer. 3 of 5 points Bed: 0 points - The very soft foam mattress, along with hard wood boards underneath was very hard on my back.

Good hotel with reasonable prices... for gay lads, leathermen and skinheads... friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Central location is great if you're heading out for the night to the nearby leather clubs. Shared facilities, plenty hot water and clean, a bit dated but does the job.
