Room is spotless and good location not to far from dam square and a couple of minutes from Vondelpark

Great location, many local restaurants within walking distance as well as Vondelpark and the museums. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is a well-located hotel but I was staying in a less than optimally located room, right next to a very loud elevator. Otherwise, the stay was fine.

Maybe not as bad as some reviews but still not great. For me, the main use of a hotel is to SLEEP. We had no sleep here. Our room was on the first floor at the front of the hotel on a street with cafes. We couldn't keep the windows open for all the noise an cigarette smoke. Next to our room was the "front desk", just an open space for the staff to hang out in. All night we had to hear the comings and goings of other guests and the staff chatting to each other. At one point I had to get out of bed and ask them to keep their voices down so we could sleep. There is no ventilation or air circulation. If you take a shower it turns the room into a sauna. I asked for a fan but was told it was "only for staff". I guess it's more important for the staff to be comfortable than the paying guests. Typical European shower, not enclosed, got the whole bathroom wet, and water an out the door and onto the floor of the main room. Way too expensive for what you get.

Things i expected: Small room as a single traveller, steep stairs - the norm for Amsterdam. Things i didnt expect : Room 9 is next to the slowest and nosiest lift in Amsterdam and of course guests are going to use it late into the night to avoid the steep stairs. Tiny bathroom ok. But power shower shouldn't leak all over bathroom floor and into small bedroom. Additional charge if you want room serviced. I expected as a minimum a clean room but wasnt great. Suggestions : Maybe some carpet on stairs, if allowed, to damped noise. A proper reception area. Change shower screens so enclosed. Positives : location for museum area and park and bus too and from airport. Negatives: Needs to be cleaner, more welcoming. No tourist information available ( only a free map on a table ).

I don’t understand the poor reviews. This is Amsterdam, and Sara’s B is a budget hotel. Clean, basic, good location. This isn’t De L’ Europa. I was very happy with this being a new option for my stays. I must have been to 10 hotels over 20 yrs in AMS. The value here is good. If you want better, you’ll pay for it. Whatever the case, I’ve already booked my next reservation there for 3 weeks away.

The shower isn’t drain, flooded the whole bathroom, instead of moving us straight away they just gave us towels. No fridge and the water was freezing the first day but boiling the next day. Staff were nice and location was good

Clear that this hotel is perhaps in the middle of a management change? Let’s start with the lobby…if you could call it that…single desk with a check in computer, no place to sit, full of construction crap. The room was OK but under the bed had clearly not been cleaned as there were garbage wrappers and an old box of cookies…gross. The mattress had stains. Which brings me to my next point of contention - the day before our arrival we were informed that on either “the 20 or 21st of April” that all the beds in the hotel were being changed. Happy to have a brand new bed (and it was comfortable) but without an actual scheduled time it was getting delivered made it disruptive. Lastly…the bathroom drain did not work, it was impossible for me to wash my hair or use the rain shower as the water would have overflowed into the room where the bed is. On our last day there was a flood and the water had to be turned off (in the middle of brushing my teeth) but the guests were not informed. This hotel has potential - it’s in a good area and has a great coffee shop and Italian restaurant across the street. Perhaps in a couple of months they will have it figured out.

City centre walkable, tram system is very close, in a safe, quiet neighbourhood. Staff welcoming, check-in quick & easy. My generously sized ‘double room with balcony’ was on the 1st floor (stairs are steep). Bed was large, clean & comfortable. Seems to be going through a renovation (good in principle). However, it feels like cost-cutting means it’s devoid of the ‘home comforts’ expected – even in Amsterdam – such as a chest of drawers, mirror, in-room beverage facilities; means to contact reception, a chair for the desk, & fire/safety instructions. The armchair rested insecurely on wooden blocks. The balcony was unwelcoming & hardly the selling point suggested. There were superfluous lamps and sockets high on the wall above the bed and the wiring arrangement was weird. Though clean and tidy, the bathroom was poorly thought out. Shower head poorly placed, & insufficient shower screen, so when used, the room flooded. An electric socket had a cover missing. A poorly placed ceiling lighting meant my face was in dark shade when shaving. I’d argue it’s better to get jobs finished BEFORE taking bookings to avoid negative reviews putting off potential future clients. All that said, if all you need is a base for sleeping, storing & washing, Sara’s serves that purpose well. The staff are pleasant and always seem willing to help and rectify incidents.

First day I arrived I wasn’t informed of any maintenance or repairs at the hotel and they didn’t present this information on their website The room had two wires hanging out the wall with a peice of tape stuck over them. Bathroom had no storage no where to put bathroom toiletries The wardrobe was no bigger than 40cm with 4 Hangers a very small desk No room amenities no kettle or iron no air con etc In the reception area their was a kettle that I had to fill in my room due to broken taps but was only allowed to boil it in the reception asked for cups and told yes but they are not clean On one day one staff member told me to keep the kettle from the desk in our room then on arrival back that night I was told abruptly you can’t keep the kettle in the room even though I didn’t ask for it I was told to put it made the room the staff member denied telling me I pad for a garden view / balcony and the view I got was a storage shed with a small patch of stone we were informed that smoking through those doors was prohibited however their was cigarette butts on the floor The door only opened foward a tiny bit and our room was the accessible route to their storage shed Only positive was staff were lovely
