Hotel Croydon, Sint-Oedenrode

To Whom It may concern I really would like to describe my experience with CROYDON Hotel in Amsterdam. I was supposed to be there with four friends from 21th to 23th April 2007. We agreeded in advance with owner that we arrived at 11 a. m but he got us waiting for the room over 6 hours! We had to wait outside with our luggage and we felt like cheated. Specially when the non-friendly staff (that also didnt speak english) threatened us with charging my credit card for the whole amount of the two days if we cancel reservation. I guess none of you have visited the place before promoting it in the Web page but this place is the most unhealthy hostel I have ever been (and believe me, I have travelled a lot). To get the room (dirty by the way) you must climb dangeorus stairs. The room is small and stinks. The carpet is dirty (not a surprise) and electrical devices in the room are old and not safe. I would rather forget about the so-called toilett... Finally we couldnt stay there.- The dust in the carpet and the scarce of fresh air in room almost got us sick, so we found a new place. Anyway, we had to pay for both nights and owner overcharged us again with 20 euros for no reason threatening us again with charging the credit card. All I hope is that none will have to cope with the same problems I had to fight with in CROYDON Hotel. Dissapointing experience.
