Hotel Zandbergen - Amsterdam, Netherlands     

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights-Only returned home yesterday! We stayed in a nice double room overlooking the back of the hotel. Room and bed very comfortable and the bathroom looked pretty new-Very clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Stairs are quite steep so probably not best if your mobility is not 100%. Would recommend this hotel (book a room at the back otherwise you'll be overlooking the busy road).

I recently stayed at the Hotel Zandbergen. Arriving at night there was no one but a young girl to assist us up two very steep flights of stairs with our luggage. The manager was not around on the two nights that we stayed but was certainly very courteous on the morning we departed. Our bedroom was very small and the fittings overall were quite basic and aged and even though we asked for the faulty phone to be checked, it was never fixed. The ensuite was clean but minimal. I believe that to write a good review on this hotel it would depend on the type and size of the room you stayed in. It was also a distance out of the central area even though it was a short tram ride in. For these reasons I do not understand how it could have been given such a high rating on the website.
