“Amistad surprised me with its dedication to cleanliness and a breakfast spread that exceeded expectations for a 2-star hotel; Mike, the host, clearly makes a difference with his friendly and helpful approach. While the building's traditional Amsterdam stairs might be a concern for some, the central location and overall charm make it a worthwhile consideration for budget-conscious travelers seeking an authentic experience.”
