I had a decent stay at Clinkmama, marked by a few ups and downs. The common areas were inviting, and the location was excellent, close to major attractions. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of my room and some noise from the communal spaces. Overall, it provided a fair value for money, but some improvements are certainly needed.

My room was a bit disappointing regarding cleanliness, as I found dust on the mirror and other areas. It was also noisy from the communal area, which affected my sleep. While I appreciated the unique cabin-like design of my room, the lack of windows was something to keep in mind before booking.

I stayed here for a few nights, and while the location was perfect for exploring Amsterdam, my experience was mixed. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made me feel welcomed, but I found the amenities lacking, especially in a so-called deluxe room. My shower was frustrating, only lasting for 30 seconds at a time, and I wished for better space to store my belongings. Overall, it was a basic stay in a convenient location.

My deluxe double room was clean, but it lacked essential amenities and comfort for a deluxe status. I didn't appreciate the absence of a safe for valuables, and the shower was quite inefficient.
