Hotel The Globe Centre - Amsterdam, Netherlands     

Dont even think ov staying here. Ive been to Amsterdam 6 times and go at least once every year. Ive stayed in some shabby hotels, but this HOLE has got to be the worst..!! To make it even worse it was the most EXPENSIVE hotel accom ive paid (the only reason i stayed her is because it was a large party and most had already booked here) It sells itself by having a 24/7 bar, which is good and looks good on the site. But the drinks were over priced and theres no atmosphere. You may aswell wait till like 10am and go somewhere else. We had no electric in our rooms for 3nites..!! When we asked at reseption this was our reply by the fat beast sat at her perch...: Do i look like a electrician?? DO NOT BOOK HERE.

We booked 2 beds in a shared dorm so our expectations weren't too high. Our shared dorm had NO lock on the door and the padlocks supplied by the hostel didn't keep the lockers shut. We asked to be moved and after a lot of pressure and disbelief from the staff that the lockers didn't work we were moved into a different shared dorm. This was an improvement but there is a real shortage of showers/toilets here and they are not at all clean. The location is excellent, right in the red light district and very convenient for the station. Overall, not recomended at all.
