The location in the lively Jordaan neighborhood was a definite highlight, with plenty of cafes, bars, and shops nearby. However, the service left much to be desired, often feeling abrupt and unorganized. My room, while clean, was quite small and had a few issues with the bathroom layout that made it less comfortable than expected.

My stay at Hotel Calisto was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, nestled in a charming neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. However, the room was quite small, and the bathroom setup was inconvenient. Service ranged from accommodating to frustrating at times, which made my experience a bit uneven.

Rooms

5.0

I found the room to be quite small with limited space to put my luggage. The bathroom layout was awkward, with the toilet in a closet next to the bed and the sink inside the shower, which unfortunately led to water pooling on the floor. This was definitely a letdown.

Service

6.0

I did have some good experiences, like the prompt responses from the staff and their flexibility. But there was a frustrating moment during check-in when I encountered a rude staff member who seemed dismissive about a considerable late check-in issue.

Location

The location of the hotel is great! It's located about a 10-minute walk from the city center and surrounded by lovely shops and restaurants. The area felt calm and less noisy at night compared to the bustling center.

I really enjoyed a delicious dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, complete with freshly squeezed orange juice. The food was good, and nearby eateries offered a variety of options, enhancing my dining experience.

Facilities

7.0

While the hotel had charm, it lacked some modern amenities, like a lift, making it tricky to navigate the narrow stairs. However, the presence of a cozy cafe next door was a nice perk for guests.

Rooms

The room was quite small and not as clean as I expected, with a dirty bed and towels upon arrival. There was also no lighting in the bathroom, and I experienced a strong sewage smell coming from it. I found the overall cleanliness lacking, and even the carpet felt unkempt.

My stay at Hotel Calisto was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic, allowing easy access to central attractions, I found the room to be exceptionally small and not as advertised. The service varied, with some staff being friendly, but there were instances of disorganization. Overall, it met basic needs but definitely fell short of expectations. 😅🌍
