Everything was excellent, the staff very friendly. In Amsterdam in general the establishments are small. The stairs are small, fortunately I stayed on the first floor, if you have suitcases it can be somewhat complicated to climb

Communication with the hotel was great. Staff was very kind to upgrade us and was also very helpful and accommodating. Beds were very comfortable and I had a good sleep. Location is fantastic. Near to the central station, shops and attractions. The only downside was the steep stairs up to the hotel and the small rooms but I guess that’s the nature of the properties in this area. It did not bother us but it may bother older folks with mobility issues

The hotel location must be what makes this place rank so high because the other features are poor to average. It's near the central train station and ports of call for many cruise lines. …

The rooms are very small, basic. You have to make do with the space, but two people, if you don't have a lot of luggage, could be fine.It is located a few minutes from the central station, in a street full of shops and services (supermarket, various cafes).From there, in a few minutes, you can get around Amsterdam on foot, reaching the various museums.The rooms are cleaned and tidied up adequately. There is no breakfast, there is no hairdryer. The bathroom (choose the room with bath and shower) is basic but well-stocked. Hot water practically instantly, clean towels etc. The hall on the first floor is small, with always smiling and kind staff.You can enjoy tea or coffee on request, free of charge.The entrance consists of a very small door, and follows a very steep staircase of about fifteen steps, which is inconvenient with luggage or for those who have difficulty walking. The rooms start from the second floor, therefore a second steep staircase, with as many steps. The rooms are quiet, the beds comfortable.Basically an excellent compromise of quality, price, location and connections.

I stayed at Ciao Papa for two nights the first week of October. The hotel is very small (and cute) and other reviews are correct that the stairways are very narrow and steep. …

I wanted to sleep in this Hotel during ADE, i got various Messages from the Hotel telling me system was hacked. I never reached someone over Phone, at the end they canceled my booking althought i reached out for them. All in all a very negative experience.

We had a pleasant stay here for eight nights. It's in a great location near Central Station and makes getting around very easy. Lots of nightlife on the street below. Would stay here again when returning to Amsterdam

We came with a friend on a whim and we were able to choose this hotel easily at the last moment. More than perfect for our improvised night on Amsterdam. In the city center, and the staff at the reception was more than pleasant. Nickel room. I recommend.
