Gay hotel located between the Kerkstraat and the Reguliersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam.

Since 1969, Hostel Hostel welcomes homosexuals from all over the world to explore Amsterdam. Very well located between the Kerkstraat and the Reguliersdwarsstraat, two very famous streets in the community, Orfeo offers a basic comfort where cleanliness is still assured.

Great location around restaurants and bars, however you will need earplugs to sleep if its a busy night as you can hear a lot of whats going on outside in the streets.

Didn't encounter bed bugs.

Overall what you pay for is what you get, not exactly the ritz but did the job

BEDBUGS! Book at your own risk. Not cheap and not clean.

I was on my phone lying on my pillow when a live bedbug crawled onto my pillow. We trapped the bedbug and brought it down immediately to reception. He told us that he will switch our rooms to the first floor and to leave the pillow in the reception area. It still had the live bedbug on it. I repeat, the bedbug was still crawling around under a loose bottle cap when we left the reception area.

We stayed the rest of the night in a different room. It was 3:00am and we did not feel like there is anywhere else for us to reasonably go to. We left in the morning and headed back to Canada a day later.

In the morning, another receptionist accused us (in front of a crowd of people checking out) of bringing the bedbug to the hostel because we traveled.

This situation also meant that we had to deal with the additional financial costs of cleaning all our clothes and our luggages before taking a flight in case of contamination.

Fun extras: garbage lying in giant puddles outside our first floor window. Dirty bathrooms that are so small your knees touch the walls. Bedrooms with no space to stretch your arms out. Horrible stairs that had absolutely no safety or accesibility built into them.

For three people for two nights, we paid over 500$ CAD. Regardless of whether this was a poor choice on our end, I would think twice about booking with them.

BTW, I'm still waiting for a response to my email alerting them to the situation.

Buenas, quiero compartir con ustedes mi experiencia de supervivencia en el Hostal Orfeo de Amsterdam, lo más parecido a una película de terror de bajos recursos!
Al entrar se respira un ambiente hostil, los “amables” recepcionistas holandeses te dan la bienvenida, mostrando su característica seriedad. Más adelante, entendería que la seriedad viene por el hecho de ser hispanohablante, ya que literalmente se quejó dos veces que los españoles y mexicanos no le dejamos trabajar porque “hablamos demasiado fuerte”, todo por conversar en el comedor entre nosotros. Antes de seguir describiendo el comedor, quiero exculpar al recepcionista de la noche, un chico español que al revés, nos ha tratado muy bien y nos ha ayudado con el idioma y nos ha facilitado nuestra estancia.
El comedor es la parte contigua a la recepción y es propiedad de un gato, se que es absurdo pero así es. Mientras comemos en los diferentes bancos, el gato se pasea por las mesas pidiendo comida y si te despistas se come tu desayuno! Por si no fuera poco, incluso ha defecado en el suelo ambientando el comedor con una aroma “especial “.
Seguimos con la cocina y lavandería un espacio que solo he utilizado para rellenarme café o té, no está muy bueno, pero no me voy a quejar porque es gratis. Para cocinar solo hay dos fogones que si los enciendes seguramente explota el hostal, así que no he cocinado ningún día de los 3 que estuve.
Seguidamente hablaremos de la habitación número 6, un espacio minúsculo que no desentonaría en un centro penitenciario donde coexistíamos 6 personas, algunos unos personajes dignos de película… El oxígeno es limitado por eso hay que dejar abierta la ventana, y es imposible tener frío pues el vecino de enfrente te calienta los pies con los suyos. A no ser que uses alguna substancia medicinal, es casi imposible conciliar el sueño; nosotros no hemos dormido a penas en 3 días, siempre con un ojo abierto.
Para terminar, hay que hacer una breve mención a los baños y duchas comunes, para entrar tienes que hacerlo de lado porque sino no cabes. Una vez dentro, te sientes como en una caja fúnebre, y te las tienes que ingeniar para ducharte o hacer tus necesidades y salir de ahí, una clara alusión a la película de Saw.
Para terminar este comentario me gustaría desearles suerte a todos los huéspedes que quieran ir, y animar a la gente que le gustan las experiencias de terror fuertes, pues este será tu lugar idóneo.

Si vous faites plus de 1m80 impossible de dormir sur le lit il n y a vraiment pas d’espace pour les pieds

Worst place in Amsterdam, no lockers, dirty bathrooms so tiny you can't even fit between the sink and the toilet, the rooms don't have anything in them, not even a chair you just have to put your things on the floor. Receptionist is extremely rude. On the last night I wasn't allowed to wait my friends in the common area and was forced to leave in a cold and rainy Amsterdam at 5 pm. You will be better off under a bridge or something.
