Hotel Pagi

From experience, Amsterdam is an expensive city, and I understand how difficult it can be to find a good budget-friendly hotel. Hotel Pagi is very centrally located, close to the train station and within walking distance of most of the places you are likely to visit during your stay. It is situated on a busy street, so noise may affect light sleepers. However, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept well. The rest of the property is very basic—and I do mean basic. There are no frills, limited storage space for clothes, and the bathroom is adequate at best. That said, considering the price, we did not expect luxury. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the staff. The reception team were superb—friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The housekeeping lady was also incredibly lovely and added a personal touch to the experience. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay in a prime location and do not mind simple facilities, Hotel Pagi is worth considering.

The first room we were put in smelled very strongly of mildew but we let the desk staff know and they immediately moved us to another room. We’re from the States, so the room and bathroom were extremely small compared to what we’re used to, but the staff was great and provided us with a floor fan (no AC) and helped out in every way! The location was perfect! We were close to every excursion we had planned, and only about a 15 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal.

Good location across from Metro. No elevator with several levels of steep stairs to rooms. Minimal amenities (hand soap and shower gel) and poor lighting in toilet/shower. Small triple room (3 twin beds). Nowhere to sit in room other than bed. No closet, but 3 hangers on wall. Luckily there was a standing fan (no guard cover on blade) in the room to keep air flowing.

The location is excellent. The steps are steep and scary. Only stay here if you can lift your bag up/down steep steps. That said, it was a great place for us. The staff even took our bags to our room - but even the reception is up some very steep steps. The rooms are small, we were in the loft so only had head room on one side of the bed. There isn’t anywhere to sit and relax. Despite all of this I would stay there again.

The people were very nice and the hotel was okay. The thing that bothered me the most was the cleanliness, the rooms weren’t all that clean, there were many bugs in my room and some dirt and mold in the bathroom. The rooms were also a lot smaller than the photos but that didn’t bother me as much as the cleanliness. Overall the hotel was very central and the people were nice.
