Location & Hotel Perfect
Location right in the heart of Amsterdam, 5-10 min walk from Train Station. The staff were really helpful and polite. The hotel might not be the Ritz but it’s not claiming to be. The rooms were basic but the beds were comfy. Bathroom was tidy and the shower was hot and powerful. Towels were included. If you do struggle with stairs then this place isn’t for you because there is no lift.

If you want something super cheap and in a really good central location then this is definitely your place. But if you care about the quality of a place than you just need to spend more money.

Got the last room in town
Location is great, right between Centraal Station and Dam and many shops. However also being near Redlight district means quite a bit of roudy street noise. Nevermind that though. My woe was the pricing was expensive for the no frills value recieved. The old dingy nonsmoking room smelled of stale smoke and no breakfast included to soften the experience. While Ben Hotel served the purpose of somewhere to sleep, next time I'll book earlier to try for any of the other accommodations in the area.

Substandard. We were disappointed.
Stayed in an extremely small double room with private bathroom. Room looked onto a courtyard with pigeons nesting in it. Multiple times pigeons tried flying into our room. Because of this we had to keep our window closed all weekend and in 30 degree heat this was unbearable!! The bathroom was tiny and my 6ft6 partners legs touched the wall when using the toilet :( we asked to move rooms but were told there were no others available. The room had no clothes storage and just one electric outlet situated above the bed. We had to pay a €20 returnable deposit for tv remotes but the tv had no signal anyway! The WiFi didn’t work. Only good thing I can say about this hotel really is that the location is brilliant. Cheap hotel for the location but still substandard in my opinion. Have visited Amsterdam 7 times (always on a budget) and unfortunately this was the worst hotel yet. It was my boyfriends birthday whilst we were there and we were disappointed to say the least.

Good hotel in a central location. Ideal for trips with friends and an ideal base to go and explore the sights of Amsterdam. Accommodation was basic but that was fine.

Best Hotel for value!
Hotel is in a fantastic location and it was very cheap also, we chose private room so we had our own shower & toilet. Receptionist was very helpful and informative on local trains for certain sights to visit. Highly recommend this. This is my third visit to the Dam and i shall look to stay here again.
