阿姆斯特丹西南堡壘酒店 - 阿姆斯特丹 Bastion Hotel Amsterdam Zuidwest

The staff are nice. The rooms are of reasonable size and include all the standard utilities one would expect. It is in a nice location, near public transport connections to town, although quite a long walk to the centre of the city (which is nice coz we love a good walk).

Cleanliness was not up to scratch. Every surface in our room was covered in a thin layer of dust, and walking barefoot on the floor was uncomfortable. There were cobwebs on the ceiling, and a daddy-long-legs (spider) living with us all through our stay. We asked for the room to be cleaned but our request must have been misunderstood, because only the standard daily refresh was done, none of the study surfaces were wiped. I expected a bit more value for the money (although this was one of the better priced hotels we found).
