Viatges a Dearsum

You get what you pay so don’t expect much. It’s an old building, not fit for people that may have difficulty going up the stairs. The stairs to the first floor are very steep and long. The rooms are small and simple, old carpets, two electricity plugs, shared bathroom and shower, no fans. Perhaps not a place for those that cannot deal with hot humid rooms in the summer. The receptionist is excellent. Very helpful. Great location. Better than staying in a shared room hostel.

The hotel smells bad so the staff constantly sprays this air freshener around that smells like bug spray..the towels r frayed and have holes in them..my single room was very small and so was the shower..there is a big hole by the front steps that is dangerous..8 steps to get into the hotel..the breakfast was OK.

This location is good if you want an affordable hotel that’s walking distance from the canal districts and from the De Pijp neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and the room fairly well equipped. Unfortunately we got woken on the first morning, with “do not disturb” on our door, because the hotel plumbing had backed up and the plumbing access was in our room. Not a great start, our shower backed up with water from the sewers and smelled terrible. The hotel did give us a room to shower in for the day which helped and the staff were great. I’d like to have liked this hotel a lot more than we did, unfortunately starting a stay with a plumbing failure affecting the overall stay isn’t going to result in a five-star experience anywhere though.
