Don't expect much from this hotel: you get what you pay for. We knew it will not be the most romantic place on Earth, neither most comfortable one, but it was one of the cheapest and that is what made us choose it (it's more of a hostel really). No toilet/shower in the room, very steep narrow stairs (what do you do in case of fire?!), very small rooms and very outdated furniture. But you don't come to Amsterdam for the hotel experience. The area around is very lively with lots of nice cafes, bakeries, coffee shops and normal shops as well as the market street.
