Hotel De Stern

( 2 stars , Amsterdam , Netherlands )

+ Good value for money if you don't expect more than the basics. excellent location for people who enjoy the nightlife as rembrandtsplein is just round the corner. staff were friendly and helpful. - We stayed in room 26 on the top floor. the shower was inadequate and seemed to have a mind of it's own - either very hot or freezing. the tv didn't work. walls very thin. you could hear clearly conversations of people in the next room and the two rooms on the floor below.

+ At the end of the day you get what you pay for so don't have any expectations of grandeur. its central location is excellent and if you like kebabs then you're in for a treat as its actually located directly above one. if you're after somewhere to lay your head and wash then this will be ok but if you desire anything more than you'll need to be prepared to dig deeper into those pockets of yours. - There were 2 of us sharing a room with one towel and a bath mat to share. don't try and sit down on the trap unless you have legs as short as jimmy kranky.

+ Nothing to write home about. but value for money. we were just looking for a place to sleep for the nite and this place was fine for that. clean bathroom. - Would not stay here for too long. tv wasnt working. it is impossible to negotiate the steps with any kind of luggage - make sure you book this hotel only if you have no luggage.

+ Spot on location and value for money! ideal for stag/hen weekends.

+ What a welcoming staff! they upgraded our room and were very eager to please. - 5th floor walk up, bed bugs feasted on me, the bed was lifted off the carpet by random used machine parts (water pump etc.), head board was not fixed to anything and kept falling down on us, there is quite a bit of construction going on at the 8 story building across the street cranes & jackhammers were our alarm clock... but the staff was really nice

+ The hotel de stern was a great place to stay, the staff were very friendly & helpful. the room we stayed in was a great size and clean. the location was brilliant and central enough to be able to walk to all types of entertainment. - All of amsterdam is being renovated so expect noise wherever you stay.

+ Great location! - Extremely steep scary staircase to room!

+ Apart from the stairs we had a fantastic view of rembrant square were the festival was takin place room was clean and beds were comfy wot more do you want ?? cheap and cheerful staff are brilliant

+ Excellent and very friendly staff - Rooms could do with being updated

+ The location of the hotel is very good - The rooms are not very clean
