Hotel Max - Amsterdam    Share

Hotel is in an ideal location, 30 minutes walk to the centre. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Room was small but included a mini wardrobe, towels, and clean fresh bedding. Only downside was the TV didn't work!

Reasonable service for its money, given it's so close to the center. Good for a short-term stay. Beware of the stip stairs, which is a typical Dutch stairway.

A clean and neat hotel that just about cuts above the necessary requirements but leaves a lot to be hoped for. For the positive side, all the rooms were clean with a good fresh scent, good lighting and a very nice air flow that is credit for the original design of the building. After seeing two rooms, it was obvious that the furnishing was done in a sloppy fashion... One room had a tall mirror that hung uselessly above beds and I figured three better placements for it just in a few seconds looking around. The rooms could use some small tables, nightstands or shelves for small items. The showers are outdated and even though a two-knob system is nothing new for me it always takes a long time to get a good water temperature out of the faucet. Also the tiling in the shower is chosen badly and is downright dangerously slippery. Also the floor inclinations are carelessly done, leaving puddles around the floor with nothing to help dry it. And then there are the stairs. Very steep ones with a full floor carpet concealing a damaged, slanted step more often than not. Keep in mind if you have any mobility issues that this hotel is not for you aside from the first floor. Also the check in had to be done in another place, hotel Iris, not too far away but still something that would have been nice to know during booking confirmation. All and all, I won't say you shouldn't stay in the hotel, just be careful and don't expect anything than a locked room with very basic necessities.

It's bad here's why: Do you want to check in at the hotel? Well you can't you go to a different hotel to check in... You want the staff to send you to the right room? The staff at the check-in hotel doesn't know the layout of the actual hotel, sending us to the wrong floor. You want toilet paper? Tough, buy your own at the lidl across the street. You want to have a clean room? You can't, it's obvious why the staff doesn't know the layout, our bed was full (like from multiple people) of hair... So if sharing a bed with multiple strangers sounds fun then this is the place for you.

Ok hotel, easy check-in, but not all worth the price. No small table or chair to put small items or clothes on. Small room, but comfortable bed and great air flow.
