Eve's Guesthouse, Amsterdam, Netherlands

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Eve's Guesthouse is not identifiable at street level. The initial shock of finding the accommodation accessible only through a rather in-your-face gay sex apparatus shop was quickly allayed by the excellent reception and overall service at the site. The room was more than adequate with a large en suite bathroom. The very steep stairs are not for everyone, but assistance with our luggage was really appreciated. The noise from the street below took a little getting used to, but by the fourth night, we had adjusted pretty well - keeping the window open made sleeping more comfortable.
We enhanced the typical Dutch breakfast, which is heavy on bread, cheese, and cured meets, by adding our own fruit bought at a nearby deli-fruit stand (Moussaique, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 88).
We had a wee visitor who loved rustling plastic bags in the wee small hours, and urge others to use the provided plastic food storage box to prevent disappointment and to protect your stroopwaafels).
Hans and Stefan from the shop on the ground floor could not have been more helpful.

Eve's guesthouse was recommended to us by a friend who had stopped there and is a lovely place to stay. Me and my friend (both in our early twenties) stayed for four nights and both really liked the hostel. It was in a great location, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the room itself was spacious with lots of additional items we wouldn't automatically expect from a hostel (towels, tv, hairdryer, lots of information leaflets in the desk). The bathrooms are clean and spacious.
Breakfast was served between 9 and 10.30 so you don't have to rush to get up and tea, coffee, water, beer and cola are all available in the fridge in the kitchen at all times, with an honesty jar to pay for them.
The room got very hot so the windows had to be wide open whenever we were in, which meant it could be a little bit noisy at points in the night but not constantly and not compared to the city centre.
We didn't really use the trams as we preferred to walk and the station is a ten minute walk from the hostel, if that. Trains to and from the airport were frequent and cheap (just over four euros).
The only slight negative I would have about this hostel would be that we stayed for four nights and the bins in our room and bathroom weren't emptied once. I usually find this is done at hostels and was a little disappointed it wasn't. Other than that, I would highly recommend Eve's hostel and would stay there again if I plan a trip to Amsterdam!
Like another review said, you don't really see the owners at all once you check in but they let you know they are in their office if you need them.

The host is very nice and the price is reasonable. The room is clean but the air in the room is bad because of the toilet. Except for the breakfast is late served, everything is fine.

Having stayed in Amsterdam before it was easy to find Eve's with the directions supplied.
We were warmly welcomed and helped up the stairs with our cases. Yes they were steep but that had been pointed out before booking.
The room was clean, lovely big opening windows and a great selection of English TV channels.
How many places can you just open your door and walk straight into the Breakfast room and kitchen where you could help yourself to cold drinks from the fridge for a small fee.
Very handy central location, a few minutes walk to tram stop. Suggest you get a travel card which allows 24,48,72 hours use of public transport.
On checkout it was no problem to leave cases for pick up later.
Amsterdam in the Spring is stunning. the blossom falling from the trees like snow, and Keukenhof Gardens the Tulips are totally amazing.
Would certainly look to book at Eve's again when planning our next dutch trip.

Very friendly staff. Really nice room, bathroom, really nice breakfast. We had a great time. The little token of a tiny pair of clogs as a gift was a small but memorable one. We would thoroughly recommend Eve's Guesthouse.

Room was a good size. Carpet was badly stained, but the room was clean. Once you get your room, you are on your own. There is no contact with anyone, except at breakfast if you are there when they are there. There were two flights of very steep winding steps that led to the room.
