This was probably one of the worst experiences ive ever had at a hotel. I will not return in the foreseeable future. Next time ill be more comfortable paying more for a better hotel than try to save and stay as such a terrible establishment. I arrived 40 minutes after my reservation and room still wasnt ready, i had to go bother reception to clean the room even though thier system said it was cleaned. I waited an additional 30 minutes to have access to my room. No apology from the staff just a is what it is attitude.

I was really disappointed to hear about your experience with us. Our housekeeping team does work hard to keep everything looking at its best for guests. Our policy is to monitor the rooms and clean any rubbish.If you require extra cleaning, you can always mention this to our team at reception. We would love for you to give us another chance next time.Generator Amsterdam
