After reading past reviews for the sphinx hotel i was dreading going there but once shown to our room i couldnt have been any more amazed and relieved! Despite being named a hotel it is a hostel, so its nothing fancy. Travelling with a group of 7 people, it was hard to find a 7 dorm room but thankfully we... more

Do not stay here. The place itself is terrible, the carpet in the rooms looks like someone recently died. They billed my credit card twice, once before we had even arrived and not for just one night, for all 3 nights which is not the agreement I made booking it. Then I had to fight to get that taken off,... more

We were there for the football and we booked last May through easytobook.com. When we arrived we were told that they did not have rooms for us and they had e.mailed the relevant people last September to notify them of the cancellation, we did not receive that e.mail. There was more than one party who they did not have rooms... more

Not recommended. Can find better place closer to center. Cheap though. Room was basic, the window was broken, bathroom awful, good that we stayed only 1 night, so we managed not to take showers (!) would have been a mess. Breakfast in the morning was basic, in a very small room. Do not come here. more

We were on the fifth floor with no lifter and incredible stairs. We booked a suite room expecting al WC and a shower in ther room(as the web site sais) but de WC... more

It is not expensive to be clean and polite: So why is the Sphinx hotel so dirty? Mold in the bathroom shower, stains on the carpet, dust everywhere; our room smelled awful. So why was the hotel staff rude and unprofessional? Yes, the Sphinx is a cheap hotel in the center of Amsterdam but fails to meet minimum expectations. more

On arriving at the Sphinx, our party of 5 were told that all three of our rooms had allegedly flooded and we had to pay extra for a large single room if we wanted to stay. The staff were exceptionally rude and argued that it was not their problem and we could go elsewhere if we did not wish to... more

I was initially nervous to stay in such a cheap hotel, but as a student there was not a lot of choice, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Sphinx. I stayed with my friend and booked a twin shower room, we got a big six bed room with toilet and shower as well as a small step out balcony... more
