I stayed at the hotel Monopole recently whilst in Amsterdam for a stag party. Usually, I stay in the Mercure (Arthur Frommer) which has always been excellent but, due to being part of a larger and less civilised group on this visit, we decided to try to find a hotel that could accommodate us all in a central location and...

The toilet and the bathroom was on the corridor and where used by other people because it was not possible to lock the room.

Lovely reataurants but with a good nightlife too. Clean room, drab decor but the private bathroom was what I paid for as there are... More

If you want somewhere cheap and central to shower and sleep then this is ideal but would say it is probably better suited to groups rather than couples as can be a little noisy. Generally the place is clean; bedding, toilet, carpet, sink etc but could do with a little extra eg. some marks on doors that could easily be... More

Same bad experience as "skymaster_172". Although, it is a great location, right in the center, this two bed-room apartment is no good value for money: poorly furnished, noisy (one of the room gives on the road by the canal and the other is right above a laundry...). And yes, the bathroom is smelly. We do not recommend this hotel and... More

Don't let the lobby fool you. We thought that we had booked a nice place when we saw the loby (albeit after climbing one of those famous Amsterdam staircases).
