“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.”

helpful staffconvenient locationstreet noiseinadequate lighting
The staff were indeed helpful and kind, a very positive aspect of my stay. Breakfast featured fresh eggs and a simple assortment of items. I found it quite filling before a day of exploring. The location proved convenient. Many attractions are nearby.
Street noise was quite noticeable at times. Sleep quality suffered a bit. The bathroom lacked adequate lighting. The shower head was fixed, not allowing for flexible direction of the water. This proved a bit inconvenient.
