Comments: IF your going to Amsterdam for the coffee shops and the red light district then this hotel is in a great position, just next to the entrance to the red light district and a coffee shop two doors down.

Comments: Right in the middle of the city central, and less than a minute on foot from Amsterdam-Centraal station. Right down the road from The Grasshopper and Conscious Dreams. Maybe 2 minutes from Grey Area. 6 minutes to Westerpark. Really nice place - the staff are extremely friendly, and all speak English (most of them as a first language). Grab a pint at the hostel bar (the prices are among the best in the city!) while surfing the 'net. Plus the rooms are really nice. What more could you ask for?

Comments: Great location and security. Safe and close to city and red light district and train station. Small double bed room, very basic for the price. Would recommend.

Comments: The staff, though they tried to help, didn't know anything. They couldn't even tell me how to get online using their own service. The hotel and its rooms are very small and rather dirty. The best I can comment on the cleanliness was atleast there were no bugs. However, the location is pretty good for the cost of a bed, if you want to be very close to the Red Light District. I would only recommend this hotel to someone on a tight budget who's biggest concern is location.

Comments: Very good Hotel for those with small budget. I enjoyed my staying very much. The only thing is that they are missing a lift, so i would look for a room in the lower floors.

Comments: We only stayed one night so room size didn't matter to us, but it was a bit cozy. Everything was immaculate and clean. We had a sink in our room which was really nice for washing up. Only minor bump was that a staff member knocked on our door 3 times between 9:40-9:50am. Apparently they are pretty strict about check out time. Just something to keep in mind, if you run a little late like us. Otherwise, I recommend this hotel to anyone. Great location.

Comments: My girlfriend and I stayed in a private room. For that sort of accommodation the Travel Hotel provides good value. Although a thoroughly budget hotel, it was clean and comfortable.

Comments: Fine considering how cheap it was. Room was small but comfortable with laminate flooring. Shame the sheet didn't fit the bed and the mattress could do with replacing. Impressed with cleanliness of shower. Staff were rude on one occasion,knocking on our door at 9.30 am to tell us that we should be checking out. (check out time is actually 10)

Comments: Great Location but the staff didn't provide a very welcome atmosphere. You had to buzz to get up to your rooms and definately no guests. It's probably for good reason but if you're looking to hang out with a lot of your friends look elsewhere. The rooms were cleaned on a regular basis.

Comments: I recomend DO NOT TAKE, if it even cheapest one. The room pictures does not much. Do not believe those pictures. It is no much with them at least for us. This hotel has all very poor facilities and the funitures are all problems which look like come from street. It is simply rubbish. We could not sleep well. We have booked for 6 days for doulbe room, we have got serious health problem after 3 days we have got serious full and had to change different hotel. The room size is so small, the bed stays straight in middle of the room. it dosent suit normal way. The height of the room is quite short. We felt so tight in the room all the time. It is in octrober, but the central heatihg never be on. The window has small gaps, the cold window comes to room. it is so cold in the morning. We have got almost ill. The shower room has so many black spot all on the walls. The hook of the shower head has been missing. I had to hold the head all the time. We had to book another hotel after 3 days staying this hotel. Our health looked so bad, We had to check the flight to go back. We have wasted a lot money. SIMPLY, I RECOMEND, DO NOT TAKE THIS HOTEL IF IT EVEN CHEAPEST. IT IS NOT THE PLACE HUMAN STAY. This hotel is just for location. It is 5 mins walk away from central Amsterdam station.

Comments: It has a very good location, very close to the center and right on the edge of the red light district. We had a pretty cool double room, very small but had a sink, openable window and was cozy. The only bad part about the room that it really smelled bad with cigaret smoke. I mean I smoke myself but it was really stale. They do have a bar and a game area but I hardly ever saw anybody there.

Comments: perfect location right on the outskirts of redlight district (3 min walking). extremely close to centraal station (5-10 min walking) . staff very nice, but rooms are nothing special (actually kind of dreary for the price you are paying) BUT unless you are planning on staying in the room the whole time (prob not) then travel hotel is great.

Comments: Very basic hostel, shower was broken so you had to hold the shower nozzle (hose) the whole time. There was also nowhere to put your toiletries in the shower but on the floor. The drain backed up too. This would be the only real downfall though, everything else was fine. The room had its own was basin which was good and the beds were comfortable.

Comments: I just stayed here one night on a quick trip through Amsterdam. Great location, clean, secure, 24 hour bar, internet. There's no lift so be prepared for some steep stairs! Great place to stay.
