Super nice people! Very patient and helpful, too, and the nurse practitioners are very thorough…read more The facilities are very clean and there's a ton of cookies and drinks to keep you feeling well. They have forms in English, btw. I felt really appreciated, safe and grateful throughout the whole process. The process is very different from the one I went through in the US. First you must call the 0800 number to be screened. If all goes well you make an appointment so they can take blood samples and further interview you to ensure you're eligible to donate. If all that goes well you get a letter telling you you can donate within 2 weeks. I think it took about 1.5 months from my initial call till I got my letter. Totally worth it to help save lives :)

A nice experience and right in the heart of the centrum! Free coffee and thee. Also a kids corner…read more They do everything here except surgery. Also an apotheek is on premise. Wonderful friendly staff. Right near the Kalverstraat and centraal station. Bike parking too on the street. A nice alternative to trekking all the way West but both are good.

I guess it makes the wait more palatable although the wait wasn't all that bad. Talk to the lady behind the counter to begin. Give her all the require information and ID. Then, have a seat and wait until your name is called.

Fresh Health & Fitness is a small fitness club in the 'Tolstraat' in the Pijp. When you come inside…read moreit looks very nice. Clean, nice interior, place to sit and relax and it seems to have anything you need (at least, what I need.). The staff is friendly and helpful. They also sell coffee and juices which is nice. The big downer about this place is the price. It is very expensive. You pay 45 euros or something for 'dal-uren' (you can't get inside after 5 PM). I pay 50 euros each month for the student membership so for a regular membership its even more. I think this is very expensive, especially since the club is so small and a lot of the machines are always taken and you have to wait. Which is annoying.

Came here for my sanity during a torturous conference so only used for 3 days…read more Staff are lovely - no problems at all. Be mindful to bring your own towel as these are not provided. The two big problems with this gym are; It's tiny. Really really small. So if you are in anyway claustrophobic or don't fancy waiting for one piece of equipment I would avoid. The opening hours are restrictive - sat 9-7 and sun 9-5. Not so bad during the week though. I probably wouldn't return - the lack of space is an issue for me. Aside from that though it is a nice clean fitness centre. I guess it depends what floats your boat. No booming shitty music - I really appreciated that.

One of the worst eyeglass stores in Amsterdam that should in all honesty be shut down…read more Staff is lacking in basic knowledge concerning eyes, eyeglasses and contact lenses. They are incredibly rude if you ask questions and get very defensive rather than providing you with an answer. I have worn the same prescription for years and when I got my eyes tested at this store the outcome was completed different. I suppose this could happen, but naturally I was shocked, because I had an eye exam not that long before visiting their establishment. I asked how this could be and the person just started yelling rather than providing me with an explanation, which one would expect from a company claiming to specialize in eyewear and expecting customers to spend hundreds of euros on something designed to improve their vision. Following this I had my eyes examined at two other companies and these were in line with what I typically have in terms of prescription. Long story short this company uses outdated methods to establish the INCORRECT prescription for eyeglasses and contact lenses. Not only that, but if you question their methods they refuse to explain or provide any guidance. In short: A very unprofessional company, which I would recommend everyone avoid. There are many other better stores in Amsterdam with much friendlier and knowledgeable staff. See other stores reviewed on Yelp for a suitbale alternative.
