Comments: Hostel is ok, with a good location, floor wasn’t horizontal, it was leaning to one side, but that’s maybe normal in Holland. Bed was too soft and was falling down in the center.

Comments: The hotel was across the street from the train station like the ad says. We were taking a mini-break on our big move from the States to Italy but it is a nice part of town which made up for having to walk past several other hotels on the way. And if you get there before 14:00 leave your bags at the station there is no baggage storage.

Comments: The staff seemed quite rude to be honest and the hotel didn't seem to be very secure, no safes, and people could get room keys without any identification. The room also said en-suite, but the toilet/showers were actually shared on a corridoor basis. The sound for our TV didnt work either, even with the €20 remote rental. However, the location of the hotel was quite good being in central amsterdam, and the 24hour availability was pretty good.

Comments: A nice little place, toilets a little small and not the cleanest place ever, but clean enough for a place to get your head down. Wouldn\'t go there on me honeymoon if you get what i mean but fine for a few lads having a few beers etc.

Comments: When we went to check-in the receptionist was highly un-friendly and unhelpful. Our room was ready and she didn't want to let us into our room just because we were there an hour before the official check-in time but another staff member told her to let us in. The room smelled really bad of smoke and the showers and toilets were not the cleanest. It's a great location and is the cheapest we could find but I would recommend paying a bit more to stay somewhere nicer.

Comments: The hotel was stinking and the staff wasn't so nice... The first and the second day, they didn't ask your names and gave us the key straight away... They could give it to everybody! But the location in great! You got coffee shop just besides and in front of the hotel, and 8 minutes walk from the central station! The hotel was renovating.

Comments: The location was the only redeeming fact about the "hotel". Don't let the name fool you, it is a bad excuse for a hostel, not a hotel. The owner was rude, would not refund our money when we tried to check out 2 days early to move to another property, and is quoted saying "Our policy is not to be convenient for you." By far the worst experience I have had in hostel/ hotels throughout all of Europe. Please, if you want to go to Amsterdam, DO NOT STAY IN THE QUENTIN ARRIVE!!

Comments: Such a great place to stop, best location in Amsterdam, right in the center but just down street, so its quite when you want it. Three coffee shops right outside the front door, we had the private room, only downside was no lift, but defo stop here again.

Comments: remeber the check in is a 2 pm while the check out is at 11 am.. no flexibility!.. so if you come from a 20 hours flight in the morning you have to wonder around for several hours before taking rest in your room.. and since they're renovating the hostel no luggage storage!!..

Comments: If your after a cheap place to stay the arrive is the place for you, it definitaly has character and is opposite 3 quite nice little coffee shops. It is also only a very short walk from centraal station and other touristy spots.
