Hantumhuizen Holidays

Ok, this hotel had some horror stories on Google reviews (though not on Expedia for some reason). I'll address this by saying--I didn't see problems that would justify those reviews. No rats, no errant animal traps, no leaking plumbing. I wouldn't be surprised if the rat issues were seen outside the building or on ground floor and sorry to break the mystique of Amsterdam for people but there are A LOT of rats in the city. Saw more than a few while I was out at night. It would make sense to see one in a trap once in a while. That being said, this place is a dive. It's an older UNESCO building (as much of the city centre is) and it shows inside. Decor is older, bad carpeting throughout, bathrooms are pretty rough with the worst shower I've ever seen (shower head poking out of ceiling), lights that don't work, rust stains setting in. Not surpised there may be a mold issue but my shower curtain seemed brand new. The stairs are horrible. Thin, tall, winding staircase with unevenly sized steps and you may very well be on the 5th floor (I was the 4th) and there is NO ELEVATOR. I don't mind taking the stairs but these ones are hard enough to navigate without 25kl of luggage. I saw some older couples that were having a very hard time on the steps so I warn anyone over 50, get a different hotel. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2 is the location. It is close to Centraal Station and every tourist site and the price is right.

Great property and location!

Amazing experience clean rooms and central to everything
