Budget Hotel Hortus

It's a hostel in Amsterdam. Smoking (all things) allowed. Bike rentals expensive at 16:00EUR/day. Cash only!! Have ear plugs and good thigh muscles, and its a good place to stay!

Prós: Breakfast until 10.00AM!! Location was very good. Staff was very helpful. I had a great beed, but my friends did not...not all rooms are equal. Ask for a room on the 1st or 2nd floor, double/single private.

Contras: Stairs....if you are on the top floor, there are about 3 flights of 20 stairs EACH. Really...put in a lift. Doors lock automaticaly, and slam loudly. That said-great security, and a safe in every room.
