Theaterfabriek Amsterdam

Nice rooms, lovely staff, free shuttle bus to the airport. However, there is not much to do in the immediate area.

I liked the art deco design throughout the hotel. The studio room had a very large shower area so the floor doesn’t get wet in the rest of the bathroom. There was kitchenette area plus and iron and ironing board.

I arrived at around 10:50 at the hotel and to my surprise, my room was already ready. This was great news. It was however the only good news. The rooms are extremely worn down. The first thing I noticed was a brown spot on the plastic floor which seems to be caused by the AC in the ceiling dripping onto the floor during summers. The next thing I was was the bathroom. Planning wise it was terrible. Sitting down at the toilet prompted the legs not to fit in between the chair and the condo and sink right in front of it. The walls had clear signs of pink and black mold build-up. The corners of the shower was filled with black mold. I went to take a shower and to my surprise it started to overflow. The drain would not take the water.Water starting pouring out on the bathroom floor. In panic I lifted the drain container and found a horrid surprise. It was FILLED with hair and dirt and junk from previous guests. I quickly put it in the toilet to avert a disaster in the room. IEW. During checkout I showed the staff the photo of all the gunk I threw down the toilet from the drain, their comment was that since I did not report it directly and let them fix it I was apparently satisfied with my accommodation. They would escalate to their manager as I told him I had no choice but to clean it myself when it happened. Let's see. This is a cheap and dirty hotel. If you can accept it it's great for the location. But a 3 star hotel? No way. I've seen hostels in better condition.
