The Alfa Hotel

Martelaarsgracht 14 (opposite the Central Station)

DON'T EVEN THINK OF GOING THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a shared toilet, wash basin, and shower for the entire landing (6 rooms). My room, Room 30, stank of acrid, stale, skunk. The bedding was clean, mercifully, but that night I could very clearly hear the sound of someone vomiting up their soul. The stench of the toilet was so bad the next morning that I waited until Schipol airport before even thinking of going to the loo, or having a wash.
