From the time that I arrived to the time that I left, they really treated me as best they could, also managed to find a room on the first floor due to my health condition. Alway was extremely professional and friendly. A modest place but clean and well located. Comfortable bed, breakfast was fresh every day. I can definitely recommend it including family. Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. Def I'll be back.

This place is awesome, was there for 4 nights with my teenage girls. The breakfast, location and family run. It truly was a treat, 3rd time visiting Amsterdam and glad we found this place. Also huge plus is the 397 airport bus stops at the front door.

Great Place to stay
Location, Location, Location.......right near the bus line and all of the museums. Direct bus right to other parts of the city as well as the airport, as well as stores and restaurants. Staff is very friendly, accomodating and helpful. The breakfast room is adorable and every afternoon and evening there are cookies, chocolates and cake available any time as well as tea and coffee.The breakfast is the same every morning, but it was very good. All 18 rooms were full the week we were there and yet it was very quiet, except the sound of the street cars and buses and even though each floor has a shared bathroom and shower I never had to wait to use them. Great place to stay, but make sure you can climb stairs. Oh, there was always a bowl of oranges and apples on the stairs for the guest. What a nice gesture.

Amsterdam Funk Hotel
Place is basic. Bed and sink. Shower and toilet in the hall. But somehow that was OK. Not sure how to describe it. People who ran the hotel were great and the location is perfect. Steepest set of stairs I have ever seen. Not recommended for anyone with any mobility issues. 3 blocks from Vondelpark (running, biking, etc.) and a couple of blocks from the Rijks and Van Gogh Museums.

How does this a one star property?! Yes, it’s semi dorm style with a sink in the room and the bathroom and showers down the hall, BUT EXCELLENCE!!! The staff was great, provided a lovely breakfast, and easy check in/check out process. LOCATION WAS FANTASTIC. Right next to the Musemplein AND tram station for effortless traveling. I will be returning:)

Honestly for the price and location I was expecting a rundown place probably not so clean. The location is unbeatable. I didn’t experience any noise. The place is a hidden gem, absolutely gorgeous. The steep and narrow steps? Historical! The free breakfast on such a charming room? And my single room after 4 days of backpacking at age 57 with only little time to spare to get to the museum and train station ? Unsurpassable! This is a rare finding at this price and location. Spoke to other customers about higher rooms and they were all very pleased

Small family run property just behind Rijksmuseum. First thing that greets you is a staircase that is very STEEP and covers 3 floors. No elevator!! Not for older people and hard slog with bags. The rooms are clean and good but older. No TV in room. Breakfast same every day but good. Free tea and coffee after breakfast in breakfast room. Close to museums and transporttation - bus and tram stop just outside.

The hotel is in a great location! It’s very basic and the stairs are extremely steep, but the price was worth it. Sharing a bathroom was okay, probably my least favorite part. Free breakfast was simple and nice.

A view to a stay
A lovely and well maintained property away from the city center. The staff is polite, helpful, and diligent. The ample and tasty breakfast perfectly compliments the jaw dropping views from the dining room. The twin bed single room was superbly clean and well suited for the solo traveler. The room had a sink with plenty of mirrors, lighting, a closet, desk, and extra seating. I did not use the WiFI and the heat worked perfectly in freezing temperatures. The shared WC and shower were spotless and standard size for Amsterdam. Overall, it was a great experience!

It's a lovely hotel in the heart of the museum district and handy to the centre of the city. The accommodation is comfortable and the service excellent. It's not for anyone with mobility issues as there are steep staircases.

The hotel is an old hotel. In practice, this means the room was small. I expected this. The stairs up to reception are incredibly steep and wouldn't suit people with mobility issues or heavy luggage. There was no TV in the room. WIFI was "pedestrian". The big plus is the location at the centre of the museum district. That was what I wanted. Transport links were great with both trams and buses near the front door. No hotels in Amsterdam are cheap. It's an expensive city. Overall it was fine.

If you would like to stay in a characterful and quirky hotel within yards of the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, then this is it. 'Yme'-super nice guy is the Manager and runs the place-was more than kind and helpful. This without even being asked. It is a steep climb up the stairs, which is not a problem...unless your are older and not so fit.

Hotel is very conveniently located in front of the tram station and there is also a direct bus to Schipol airport. The stairs were daunting as everyone else mentioned. Would appreciate if staff could offer help (which they did only when we departing). Breakfast provided every morning was great and rooms and shared bathrooms were kept clean. Would appreciate if they provided new towels everyday and not place our items (like neck pillows or jackets) on the floor as the carpets are very dusty and dirty.

If you think about this hotel more as a guest house than a typical hotel, you'll have the right idea. It's kind of (and I mean this in the most positive way) like a youth hostel for those that have grown out of youth hostels. The place is impeccably clean, and run with a very family atmosphere. The breakfast is generous, and the vibe is very friendly. That said, you are meant to be more self-sufficient than at most hostels. I would absolutely stay here again. There are quite a lot of steep stairs (typical Amsterdam) and no lift, which is worth bearing in mind (though the staff will help if needed).

A quaint getaway
We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to travel around the city as local transportation was right outside the door. Beautiful views. Our only issue was the steep steps with no lift. But after a few days it was a non issue. Also, the shared shower and bathroom were always clean and not crowded which I was worried about.

Perfect if you're done w/hostels but aren't a wimp
I dug this place. Too clean and quiet to be a hostel, but a nice compromise, and Dutch personality. Yes the room was tiny, but you're in Europe. And yes there were 79 steps from the street to the room, but you pay for a gym membership for that back home (and no one made you bring that much stuff). And yes the shower was tiny but if you complain that much, travel might not be for you. The guys who run the place were very nice, the breakfast was above average, and the location was incredible, right there on Museumplain and the tram/bus line for easy access to/from the airport and city. I would/will stay there again.

Very convenient location. Because the hotel was used to be an old Dutch house, the bathrooms and restrooms are very small. Breakfast was very good and staff are helpful. The man in the front desk helped me with my suitcase. Will stay here again.

Lovely (if you're prepared for stairs!)
I was there for 3 nights/4 days, and had an exceptional time. The provided breakfast is nice but not great for those with any dietary requirements (1 of our group was vegetarian and the other was vegan, and the breakfast consists of toast, a boiled egg, cheese, and ham). The room was clean and though the bathrooms and showers are shared they're clean and there are never queues. The hotel is directly across the road from the famous "I Amsterdam" sign and a five minutes walk from a lovely Irish bar, the club Paradiso, a sports bar, several food places, and two museums (particularly the Van Gogh Museum which is just across the park from you and absolutely lovely!). You can get the 5 or 2 teams from Centraal Station to Museumzicht which run really frequently. My only criticism of the hostel is that there is an extremely steep staircase leading up to the front door, and then from the front door to reception, and they are not only steep but also extremely high. If you're okay with walking up loads of stairs (including with your suitcase!) you'll be fine. You can also store your bags in reception for free and they don't mind. No curfew and they have coffee facilities to make yourself some until 6pm which is nice! It's really lovely, honestly check it out!

Go and find better one than this.
For the price i've paid, this hotel should be much better. Double room without double bed, tv and any table, small and smelly. Breakfast - well that's just toasts with jam and tea. Not worth to pay this money. Not recommend for any one.

mixed feelings about this hotel
The breakfast is good however the area is very noisy and if your a light sleeper then sleep will not be easy here. The beds are quite small and all singles. The area is close to a lot of the museums and is easy to access by the bus get the 197 bus it cost 5 euros one way.
