I really dont think there is a word to descide how much of a [----]this place is. Everything about the place is a joke: broken windows, dirty smelly rooms, [----] filled toilets and shower area shared between 12 or more people. by all means go for it if you want to stay there but you'll be lucky to come out... more

We wanted to saty somewhere central in Amsterdam, and this hotel seemed to fit the bill. It is located centrally on a canal, but when we got there we discovered it was also in the heart of the red light district. It is an old traditional building that has been renovated. his means it has the old steep stairs, which... more

Heart of Ams is definitely not for the family or elderly couple or anyone really. It is located in the red light district. Be careful of the drug dealers right on your door step, as well as the crowds of people constantly walking past the hotel which keep you up all night with their swearing and fighting.

This is by far the worst place I have stayed in my entire life, I had to sleep with the lights on and above the covers, Bedbugs and all! I have seen cleaner places in Afghanistan! They charged my card 1 month after I stayed there, and I still am battling with my credit card company to fix it. I... more

The photos are misleading. DO NOT STAY HERE. Our 3-person "hotel" room (which was more like a REALLY BAD hostel) was three twin beds with dirty, holey sheets stuffed into a 1or 2 bed room. The safe was broken, there was no privacy for the shower, the windows didn't even operate and there was all kinds of "stuff" on the... more

Although its quite a shabby hostel, not the cleanest anyway, its location gives an amazing insight to Amsterdam. Located right on the canal of the central red light district it will certainly open your eyes. Myself and two friends stayed here for a week and although we were nervous of the surroundings at first it was perfectly comfortable and safe... more

We arrived at the hotel and had a bit of a shock when we discovered it was acutally a hostel! We had booked a quad room, the room itself was small - a bunk-bed and two singles squashed in. We also were suprised to find we were sharing a bathroom with the next door room. Location was very good -... more
