I can't understand how this is called a hotel, this is a hostel by all means! I had a horrible experience staying there, smelly bathrooms that didn't lock properly and tiny rooms with very steep stairs that made it very difficult to carry my hand bag even! the is no phone in z room for reception so I had to...

The overall impression is: shabby. Toilet was smelly. Rooms are carpeted and this gives you the usual dusty and smelly carpets, if they are not properly maintained. Breakfast: essential, not much variety if you stay more than 1-2 nights. Firstly, I would like to say that I am not a person with a delicate stomach. Unfortunately, my friend and I... More

I stayed there back in 1997 and it was a nice hotel, sadly my image of the hotel was from that time and I made the big mistake of not reading other peoples reviews of the hotel. the hotel should be renamed HOTEL STINX. its nothing more than a 1 star hostel and 1 star is being generous. rooms are...

The Sphinx Hotel should be renamed as The Hotel Stinks.... Myself and a friend booked a private twin room. The room we were given was poorly decorated, with holes in the wall and a wall light that was held together with a piece of string. curtains to short for the window offered no privacy from onlooking buildings.

Conditions of the rooms were slightly more warn then pictures may have shown. It's a little far from the action packed night life of Amsterdam, however bikes made that an easy fix. On a positive, they did what they could to fit us in on a weekend with no reservations. It wasn't the worst place we could have ended up,... More

WORST HOSTEL I'VE EVER STAYED IN. Unfriendly staff, dirty bathrooms, breakfast = slice of bread with ham and cheese. But worst: only one key per room, so you have to wake up others to get in, or run up and down four sets of stairs to check if you can get in or not (and once you are allowed to... More

went in 2009 and from what iv read, its not changed at all! To call this a hotel is an insult to hotels. We arrived at 9am after traveling since 2am, couldn't get in our room until 3pm, the couldn't accommodate us to wait in there but allowed us to leave our bags (which were chucked on a pile with...

No, no ,no .don't stay in this hotel! The service is bad so as the attitude of the hostel staff, the rooms are filthy, even the so called "breakfast" is horrible. First, only children and to be specific children with very small feet can go up the stairs, this is unsafely for people in general , especially when they are... More
