Orange Tulip Hotel Amsterdam - Hostel

I booked a private room - 1 bed (with window), because I had a flight the next day and wanted a quick night in Amsterdam before heading home. I was surprised to see it was a 3 bed private room, with a window. Initially, I was happy about the space, although I didn't really need it because I was only staying for 8 hours. The window was big, but I left before the sun could rise so I don't really know how much light comes in.

Warning: this building has a lot of unavoidable steep Amsterdam stairs - like /really/ steep, and the doors/hallways are loud (depending on your floor and how many people walk by). The bathroom was alright, but after washing my hands, I noticed the pipe under the sink was leaking. I noticed hair on some of the folded "clean" towels, and on one of the beds. I was immediately grossed out. I've stayed in many hostels and I've seen hair everywhere, but at least their cleaning people can see the black curly hair on the white sheets and towels. I slept on top of the sheets that night.

Friendly staff and a clean bathroom, when compared to the rest.

The place smelled terrible, and the staff while being very nice and friendly didn't seem really clean... There was trash piled up in the hallways when I arrived at 6pm and it was still there when I left the following day at 11am. Also the place really lacked toilets, only one coupled with the bathroom in a 10 persons dormitory. The beds didn't seem very clean. The safes were too small for my laptop, and most of them need a lock (not provided by the hostel) so don't forget to bring your own.

I haven been stolen in this hustle abt 200 euro and the staff were not helpful and they refused to call the police. I am so disappointed

My room was not in the main hotel but i was asked to exit the building and go down the street to a 2nd building, the entry way was dirty, there were nails all over the floor and everywhere was splatted in paint. The main door to the building did not lock as it was broken. My room had no wall but a giant window looking into a storage room with old matresses propped up against the wall. I had a member of staff knock and tell me my fire alarm was going off and accusing me off smoking in my room - i had not been smoking nor was the fire alarm going off - very strange. All of this combined as a lone female traveller i did not feel safe. I returned my Key within an hour of entering the property , when speaking to the manager and asking if a part refund would be possible he became quite angry.
