Beursstraat Hotel, Amsterdam

We went to Amsterdam on the night of April 29,the day before the Queen's Day. The hotel had hired (49 € with bath) room I canceled three weeks before, so I had to find something crazy was free, it was not expensive and if possible with private bathroom, an odyssey in this city and more this date. I found this hotel for 70 € the double room with bath, and the location could not be better (the only thing that saves); wanted to be near the central station because the next day we had to catch a train at noon and so take advantage and enjoy Queen's Day morning, and as it was for one night I was a bit alike. I expected the hotel as we found, so no surprise I got no par but still I can not help marvel at how it is possible that a well hole 70 € cost, and without breakfast, which does not, this city is worse than Italy and Paris together. Tiny, wooden pallets and were of heavy and uncomfortable, the closet one hole with two hangers. The shower curtain antediluvian and was not even on the floor, but at least the bathroom was clean clean together, have had to reform not long because the tiles were resplendent with white boards. The carpeted floor is dirtier than ever, here I did not want or watch. We were lucky and we had an interior room (I prefer less noise to have a view, go alone to the hotel to sleep) but still hear people each time it goes down the hall and I imagine that over that night drunks would shift of theirs, so between the discomfort of the beds and people are not sleeping much, really. The good thing about the 24 hour reception and the staff is really nice, and we could leave our luggage at no charge until we went to the station. The hotel canceled we would not be much better than this but at least it cost € 49,. it hurts me to give money for something as tacky as this. In return, we stay two nights in the city on the Acro Hotel, 68 € with breakfast and much better than this, near the Rijkmuseum. Only for one case of trouble such as ours recommend staying at this hotel, and for one night as much, if rain comes the day as we passed the other two do not want to even imagine going a while at this hotel to take shelter and rest little, as we did in the Acro ... impossible.

Pro : Clean and new toilet in the room. 24 hour front desk check in. Location close to station and shops. Cons : Small room. Old carpet and sheets. No lif, steep stairs to climb no recommended if you have lots of heavy luggage. If you are particular with furnishing this is not the best place.

This was more of a hostel than a hotel. Our room was 4 or 5 floors up very steep stairs. The walls were paper thin and there were lots of other young and loud people everywhere. Having said that the room was clean and the location was superb. Could do with updating, think our room and sheets were from the 70s. A bit steep price for what it was but great for young people who arent too fussy.
