Steep stairs

The hostel we stayed in in Amsterdam was called Hotel Amigo. It's pretty strategic, we only had to take a tram from the Central Station. But the instructions they gave weren't very clear; they said to get out at Zoo, but the stop was actually called Plantage Kerklaan (the name of the street) I missed the stop because of that, and I had to re-take the tram in the opposite direction to get there! There is a zoo near the hotel, that's why they also called the stop Zoo.

My first impression about the hostel was this: The stairs are steep!

See?

It was a good thing my bag was quite light, or else I would have had a lot of difficulty going up or down the stairs!

The breakfast was included in the price, and each morning we would have two pieces of toast (freshly toasted for us) and a cup of coffee or tea (freshly made for us as well). There was butter, jam, etc on the table. There weren't many tables, though, so if a lot of people were to arrive at the same time, they would have to wait a bit.

(We could probably ask for more toast/refills, but we weren't sure so we didn't try. After all, it was enough)

All in all, it was nothing fancy, but a nice convenient place to stay. Very close to the tram station (and not very far from the town centre either, since we could walk anywhere in Amsterdam :P)
