We found bed bugs in the room. We woke up covered in bites. The guy at front desk just shrugged and said “of course we have bed bugs what do you expect? Travelers are dirty.”

We booked it because we thought it had a good location, but people are partying on the streets below, so it’s very loud late at night. Our window didn’t fully close. There was AC, but you could t not adjust it and it barely works.

It’s difficult to rate hotels in Amsterdam because you don’t get much for your money. Hotel is a bit worn. Rooms are small but comfortable enough with remodeled bathrooms. The hotel had a hostel atmosphere due to the condition of the building and the cramped front desk with luggage piled up on the floor. No elevator with narrow spiral staircases. Rooms facing the road have trolley noise which didn’t bother us. The coffee machine in the lobby was very welcomed. Hotel is halfway between the train station and Dam Square making it easy to walk most anywhere. Overall, the hotel was sufficient for our needs. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good luck choosing a hotel in Amsterdam.

The hotel is in a prime location very close to the city centre and pubic transport including the central station. My room was close to the reception desk and faced the main road so it was noisy especially at night. I stayed in a single room which was small however, was ideal as I was staying alone. The bathroom was very clean, but the shower tray did easily flood if you were in the shower too long. I would stay again if I was visiting Amsterdam due to the location of the hotel and compared to other hotels in the area it is cheaper.

Unfortunately there was a considerable amount of dust above the headboards and the floor. The window was left open prior to our arrival, which meant that we found the stay to be really cold and it didn’t warm with the lack of heating. We found a joint in the room too. There wasn’t any mirrors except in the bathroom, which was too high up to see properly. The shower also flooded the bathroom, which wasn’t ideal for a group of 4 girls trying to get ready.

The location of the hotel is near Dam Square, is a very popular tourist location, very dirty and noisy. The hotel itself doesn’t have an elevator, so we had to climb 3 floors in stairs, with suitcases full and heavy. The hotel is on top of a Steakhouse restaurant, if you open the windows just a little bit the whole room smells like smoked meet. And there isn’t any air conditioner or fans in the bedroom, it is also so small and the bedsheets had holes in them. The sink in the bathroom was clogged and the water took a long time to drain. The shower was very small and the water splashed all over the bathroom, because the shower glass had a crack in it. We used the bathroom rug to try and dry it but it didn’t work very well. The maid left the wet rug there and didn’t change any of the towels and there wasn’t any face (hand) towels. There wasn’t a mini fridge for water. The lighting were very poor. The location was in the city centre, good thing because it’s a walking distance from every main point of the city.

Definitely a no frills kind of place, if you're fine with that. Perfect location for exploring Amsterdam, just steps away from Centraal and within walking distance of many of the major attractions in Amsterdam.

Like the other reviews have said though, this place is quite old and run down. It isn't clean (lots of dust on the floors, stains on the sheets and towels, and the bathroom smells because of the old plumbing). We brought our own sheets though. 😅 The stairs are steep, so keep in mind if you have a lot of bags. Also, it's very very loud at all hours with very thin walls so bring earplugs!

Location was good for downtown Amsterdam but street noise didn’t die down until about 2 or 3 AM. Lots of narrow stairs to rooms. Room was very small for two people even though we had a double bed. Paying for location here, room was a place to sleep.

I liked the location near the station. The street outside was filthy and very busy… there are much nicer parts of Amsterdam! Room was very tiny, basically just a bed. Bathroom was very small but reasonably well updated. The room was very noisy with constant banging of doors closing and voices of other occupants. Steep narrow staircases with no elevator. Luckily I’m fit and healthy… many people would have a hard time negotiating the stairs I’m sure, especially with luggage. Overall the price was very high for what I got!

Black mold in bathroom

Comfortable and spacious room near everything, but there was visible black mold in the shower. The room’s air quality felt compromised as a result. We didn’t use the shower, tried not to spend time in the bathroom, kept that door closed as much as possible, and tried not to be in the room except for sleeping. Not ideal at all. We hate leaving bad reviews, but this should be remedied before being offered to guests.

No frills hotel but wouldn’t have an issue staying again. You don’t get much for your money hotel wise in Amsterdam because everyone want to go there!
I had a room that was basically in the Reception so I could hear all the phone calls, the radio, and everyone wandering in and out and their conversations - so unless you have a pair of noise cancelling headphones (which I did) then you’d maybe won’t to request not getting one of those rooms.

It’s not a five star hotel or anything, it’s right by the train station and right on Damrak which is an insanely busy street which is what makes this hotel great for convenience. But what made it great - my husband and I had just taken an 8 day cruise and a 6 hour train to get to Amsterdam from South England and we were both not feeling too great due to motion sickness, when they saw how poorly my husband was doing they gave us a room on a lower floor and were very kind and tried to keep our spirits up because we were doing BAD. Bathroom was nice, the room was clean, just a little noisy but was to be expected. Thanks to everyone at Manofa!

Amazing place, but far from perfect

An absolutely fantastic location right in the heart of it all. The price affordable and the staff was super helpful when asked.

That being said, there was too much furniture for that tiny/cozy room. The minuscule pillows were very comfy but also the size was of Chicklets. While it was manageable, no fitted sheets? I mean really, I’m mean it’s 2025.

No refrigerator. Not a dealbreaker, but inconvenient. Also oddly no food allowed in the rooms, but enforced as well as building security. (See below). The television was medium to terrible, though fellow current events junkies would appreciate that 97% of available programming was news.

While I am not a fearful person, being on a the lowest level but above the street, the security was unmistakably poor. The often wide open, and never locked front door, anyone from the street could easily get up the giant flight of stairs to nearly any spot in the property. So, it’s more like a motel than hotel— so not even really is not buyer beware— just buyer be aware.
