Hotel Not Hotel is a truly unique and refreshing experience in Amsterdam. The entire concept is delightfully quirky, making the stay an adventure in itself. Beyond the fun design, the staff were absolutely fabulous—incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. It’s also fantastic value for money, offering a great price for a one-of-a-kind stay with exceptional service. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again!

Checked in late to find my mattress was not only filthy with large stains & loose hairs, but smaller stains consistent with the presence of bedbugs. I took a photo of this horror show of a mattress & showed the late night staff, saying I did not want to sleep in that bed. They told me they wouldn't want to sleep in it either & that there were no other rooms available. They told me I should speak to the manager when he arrives in the morning about a refund. As it was late & I didn't want to walk around all night, I tried to sleep on the floor to avoid the bed & possible bugs. The floor was hard, the room was freezing and I couldn't stop worrying about bringing bedbugs home so I slept for about 20 minutes. When I spoke to the manager, he told me that their rule is only to issue a refund if I have any bites; the fact that they have a bedbug refund rule indicates to me that this is a regular issue. Another hotel guest noted that many recent reviews mention bedbugs; the manager said "you should always read the reviews before booking". How's about just not having bedbugs at your hotel so I don't need to read all the reviews to know to avoid it? Also lots of leaks from pipes in the common area. Despite all of the bedbug reviews elsewhere, somehow there are none on this site so let me be the one to tell you if you are reading this - take the manager's own advice, go read the other reviews and DO NOT book this hotel. It looks cool & would be fun if it was clean, but sadly it is NOT.

The staff was hit or miss. The lady who works the morning shift isn’t the most friendly or helpful and was rude. The room wasn’t the cleanest and the bar was not even open majority of the stay.

Bedbugs galore; woke up with bites everywhere on the body. Feet and lefs swollen with the bites. Met a couple on 2nd night that let me know that key unlocks all the rooms. Room has no air circulation so woke up with sore throat in the morning. I've let the 2 gents at front know of the issues when checking out, and while they were sympathatic to the issues raised, it didn't quite seem like news to them, unfortunately.

Although the staff was friendly, our room was not one we would stay in again. While the overall facility was clean, our room had strange little bugs found in the bathroom and twice in the bed. Not sure what kind, as we checked for bed bugs and that was not the case. I did leave with some little bites though, so not the best experience. Upon arrival the storage compartment for luggage under the bed would not open, and the staff could not find the key or figure out how to open it for us. In an already small room, this made the living quarters even more tight. They did offer to continue to store our luggage, but we would have to keep asking for it whenever we would need to access something, and this did not seem very realistic for a trip where we are in an out exploring and needing to access our luggage somewhat frequently. I will say that multiple staff members were very pleasant and kind, and it’s unfortunate at the few issues with our room. Probably would not stay here again.

A good stay at this hotel. The room itself (the bookshelf) was nice, spacious and comfortable. The shared bathroom was okay, it was mostly clean but clearly depends on who used it last. The staff were very friendly however most times there was no one on reception and when clicking the button for attention no one arrived. It made the experience a little poorer.
