Amsterdam hotels in De Baarsjes

Pros: Layout and rooms are cool and different, staff is kind and helpful and the Thai restaurant is very good.

Cons: It's called Not Hotel for a reason... this is more like a hostel, shared rooms, communal bathrooms/showers. We actually paid an extra fee to have a private bathroom but little did we know that did not include the toilet (!) this meant having to dress up and walk down stairs to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. There is barely any storage space and no drawers to empty/store suitcases. It was a cool experience but I would not recommend for anyone seeking a minimum level of comfort. Especially given the hotel-like room rates.
