World's Worst Hotel in Amsterdam, Hans Brinker Budget Hotel, Embraces Its Title

For a mere $25 euros a night, you can stay in one of the worst hotel's in the world, The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel in Amsterdam. Of course, the title for world's worst is debatable, but there's even been a book about the infamous hostel called, "The Worst Hotel in the World."

The hotel however understands its reviews aren't stellar and embrace the title. "The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel has been proudly disappointing travellers for forty years," states the hotel's website. "Boasting levels of comfort comparable to a minimum-security prison, the Hans Brinker also offers some plumbing and an intermittently open canteen serving a wide range of dishes based on runny eggs."

They state their appealing amenities as the following:

• "A basement bar with limited light and no fresh air.
• A concrete courtyard where you can relax and enjoy whatever sunshine is able to pass the high buildings on either side on the extremely infrequent days when it's actually sunny.
• An elevator that almost never breaks down between floors.
• A bar serving slightly watered down beer.
• Amusing witticisms and speculations about former guests' sexual preferences scrawled on most surfaces.
• The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel, Amsterdam Luxury Ambassadorial Suite (featuring the Hans Brinker's one and only bath-tub).
• Doors that lock."

ABC News reports that the hotel's clienteles are mostly young backpackers and students who relish in the cheap suites and the fun, albeit, budget atmosphere.

"It's an experience," says Tijmen Receveur, a manager at Hans Brinker to ABC News. "Most of our guests are pleasantly surprised when they arrive at the hotel. They love our humor and sarcasm and they have diminished their expectations to less than nothing."

A sarcastic not posted on the hotels website states that guests that decide to book at Hans Brinker do so there "at their own risk and will not hold the hotel liable for food poisoning, mental breakdowns, terminal illness, lost limbs, radiation poisoning, certain diseases associated with the 18th century, plague, etcetera."

"I've stayed in a lot of crummy places, but I like to think the Hans Brinker is the best of the worst," a Belgian student named Eleanor said to ABC News. "It's the perfect place for teenage travelers or people in their twenties, who are likely to fall asleep in one of the bars around the corner anyway."
