I had to book a hostel very last minute in the summer, no easy task. Heart of Amsterdam was available and in a good location. Located at the very bottom of the Red Light District, it was both close to Central station and to my friend's accommodations further south. It may be in the RLD but it is only a... more

I stayed here my senior year of high school and was prepared to party. You have to realize you are smack dab in the middle of the red light district. There are prostitutes in windows right across the street and drug dealers trying to sell you who knows what. Over all our stay was OK we booked a room with... more

Initially I was a little nervous about staying here considering its location and some unpleasant reviews that I had read, but any doubts were gone after the first day!! All the bad reviews seem to be from before they renovated! We arrived at 11 in the morning thinking that we would have to leave our luggage in the luggage room... more

"The Heart Of Amsterdam" was my worst hotel experience EVER! The "hotel" is situated smack down in the MIDDLE of the most disgusting part of the red-light-district. The Van Gogh museum is a good 40-minute walk from the "hotel." We booked a room with a twin bed and the price was 130 euros a night. We requested a non-smoking, quiet... more

We also appreciated the breakfast, the thematization of the rooms, the lockers in the room (with a 10euros... more

If one's done enough research will know that Heart Of Amsterdam is really a "hostel". As a frequent traveler who travels easily 30+ times/year. This is my very first time setting foot in a hostel... ALONE (I am a female). Not expecting much, the place is very neat and tidy, and newly renovated, quite decent for first impression. (For people... more

I really dont think there is a word to descide how much of a [----]this place is. Everything about the place is a joke: broken windows, dirty smelly rooms, [----] filled toilets and shower area shared between 12 or more people. by all means go for it if you want to stay there but you'll be lucky to come out... more
