Guest Reviews
- Michel Hunziker (9/5): - Plein centre dans quartier sympa Rien
- Donna Marzan (10/5): - Location location location None
- Loreta (10/5): 10/10 - Really nice and friendly staff! The hotel was clean and smelled good, and had a really good breakfast deal with the cafe across the street. I strongly recommend and would stay at Calisto again.
- Geronimo (10/5): - Muy práctico todo y todo de buena calidad
- anne (7/5): It was good but expensive for what you got - Good location Very small room not even a chair to sit on
- nanna (6/5): Small, central, charming, bit noisy - noisy when on first floor due to the restaurant beneath. Thin walls, they provide ear plugs
- Robyn (10/5): -
- Heather (9/5): Great visit, great stay and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Amsterdam - Really enjoyed this accommodation. Smallish room which for Europe is not uncommon. We were a party of 7/3 rooms of which only 2 were ready when we checked in. Our hostess was amazing, very attentive and accommodating. Very helpful getting everyone’s luggage up the narrow staircase. Kept in touch with us to ensure we didn’t miss the 11pm cut off to pu 3rd room key. Breakfast offered across the street opened a little too late, 9am, for our purposes as we were up early our first day so didn’t eat. 2nd day we waited until 9 and received our coffee and delicious chocolate croissants. Owner of the shop was very friendly
- Kimberley Ann (9/5): -
- Julie (9/5): Ideal comfortable stay - All that was needed for a 1night stay . Thankyou Just noisy
- Viktoria (8/5): -
- Kathleen (9/5): Perfect location to feel part of the Amsterdam culture.  - The staff were incredible. They carried our heavy suitcases up flights of stairs, and were very attentive to our needs. They let us keep our luggage there while we waited to leave Amsterdam later in the day. The location is perfect with shops and restaurants all around. The room was very small but it was clean and comfortable.

- Lisa (4/5): I do not recommend staying here. - The bed was very comfortable but the pillows were like bricks. The room was clean when we checked in for a three night stay. The next day, house keeping left two bath towels and took the wet,used ones but
did nothing else. The the next day our room was untouched by house keeping😣 Totally unacceptable. Very small, poorly furnished room. Loud all night long. I asked for a hairdryer and was told to look harder in the room because there was one. There was not. No housekeeping services. Incredibly dangerous stairway up to the third floor.
- rosa (7/5): -
- Priyanthi (9/5): Location was very convenient and room very restful. - Location and the room was airy, clean and large. The staircase to access rooms are narrow and winding
- Guest (9/5): -
- Jessica (8/5): Great location, would stay again! - - Located in a great neighbourhood with lots of nice cafes, shops and restaurants near by.
- In walking distance to city centre.
- Supplied with vouchers for free coffee and pastries for the Good Beans Cafe across the street. The stairs to the room were extremely steep however the staff took our bags up and down from the room for us.
- A (1/5): -
- claire (10/5): Fantastic little hotel. Close to everything you'd need and more. We will definitely be staying here again. - We most liked the location. It is close to the station
And the local area is lovely and well stocked with all you would need and a lovely supermarket just two minutes walk away. It was a nice touch to have the blanket in the room and the ear plugs. Although you could hear other people in the building, it didn't disturb you like some buildings in Amsterdam. We would have liked to leave our bags with reception as we didn't need to leave Amsterdam until 2ish, we needed to wait for someone to arrive - In the end we ended up taking the case with us as it was getting on near 11am so just to have the option earlier would have been nice.

- Stefania (8/5): - Molto carino l' hotel, posizione buona,ma la nostra stanza un po' rumorosa , perché affacciava sulla strada.Ma lo consiglerei ugualmente Il rumore,della strada
- Andrea (9/5): Fijne plek! ❤️ - Geweldig stekje in de Jordaan, heel fijn bed en superlief en behulpzaam personeel!
- GISELE (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel entre amis - à 10mn de la gare, dans une rue vivante, emplacement idéal.chambre spacieuse.lit immense.accueil et aide performants(notamment pour monter les bagages au dernier étage)
restaurant délicieux, expérience gastronomique, je recommande cette adresse.
Nous n avons pas utilisé les bons pour le petit déjeuner ,on a préféré aller dans le café d'en face ou ailleurs avec de bonnes viennoiseries ou des crêpes.
Réactifs à nos messages sur place et par booking. la salle de bains est bizarrement conçue, (on ne peut pas mettre les affaires)mais ce n'est pas un vrai problème
- Mila (10/5): -

- Maxim (6/5): -
- João Victor (9/5): Muito boa, mas precisa melhorar a qualidade do ambiente e melhor distribuição do espaço. - O formato de hotel B&B é ótimo. Tivemos acesso a café da manhã gratuito nos 2 dias em que estivemos por Amsterdam, além do atendimento da recepção ser excelente. Localização muito boa também. Próximo de pontos de metrô e ônibus, fácil acesso à toda cidade e estação central de trem. Tudo bem limpo também. O quarto é absurdamente pequeno e fechado. A cama é grande demais para o pouco espaço que tem, poderiam aproveitar o espaço de uma melhor maneira. A umidade também é um ponto complexo. O banheiro não tem box e molha por completo, e por ser todo fechado, não seca direito. Tivemos que deixar a janela aberta (no frio de 7° em Amsterdam), porque ficamos preocupados de a umidade acabar passando para nossas roupas.

- Siobhan (9/5): Overall I would stay there again. V good value for money. Charming building above a very good restaurant in a really nic - The location was excellent. The staff were lovely. The room was simple and stylish. The bed comfortable. The toiletries good quality.The vouchers for coffee and pastries for breakfast which was an unexpected bonus. Easy check in and out, able to leave our bags for the day. Just a little bit noisy. Not traffic or outside noise. The building is old and creaky and the walls thin. You could hear people in the other rooms, but ear plugs were provided.
- Jocelyn (8/5): Amazing stay, would highly recommend. - Very nice neighbourhood, vibrant and close to really good vintage shops. Room is very comfortable with heating and nice decor pieces. Bed is also comfortable. Space is quite small and the stairs are very steep, but staff are happy to help with luggage as I stayed on the top floor.
- Ludovic (8/5): -
- Tobias [Toby] (9/5): A great hotel find - Calisto is very well-located and made for a really comfortable stay. The team were extremely friendly and helpful. The included coffee and pastry breakfast (at Good Beans across the street) was a great way to start the day. And the food and drink in the restaurant were terrific, too.
- Carissa (10/5): -
- Elif Ece (9/5): Keyifli bir konaklama geçirdik memnun ayrıldık - Konumu, temizliği , odası, personelin ilgisi Valizleri taşımanız gereken dar merdivenlerini
- Jennifer (10/5): Perfect in every way! - Such a lovely welcome from the woman in the restaurant where I got the pass key for my room. And wonderful Roy who heaved my luggage up to my room and promised to be there when I left to take it down. Also no problem keeping it for me while I finished my sightseeing before my late flight —perfect.
The room was exactly as advertised and very comfortable with lovely touches like the tea bags and kettle , hairdryer and soap/shampoo. Fabulous shower and such a comfortable and enormous bed.
The location is excellent, not far from Central station and 2 minutes from a supermarket, 10 seconds (!) from the Coffee Bean where the hotel breakfast vouchers provide coffee and 2 pastries. Lots of very close places to eat including the Calisto restaurant on the ground floor.
I will be returning to Amsterdam and will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommended Leaving!
- Paola (6/5): - Emplacement agrèable.
Pas de personnel à disposition.
Bâtiment très vieux et très très étroit.
La chambre au derner étage avait de l'eau chaude le soir mais pas le matin ! Les escaliers pour y accéder ne sont pas des escaliers. Plutôt une échelle améliorée.
Il faudrait le souligner un peu plus csr dire simplement que les escaliers sont étroits est loin de la réalité.

- caitlin (8/5): - Loved the simple but chic design, fantastic location, friendly staff, complimentary coffee/pastries at Good Beans, and the view from our room was quintessential Amsterdam! Shower/WC was a bit moldy but generally clean
- Meng-Rong (9/5): - The staff were all very kind and eager to help. The room is beautifully decorated with retro-style posters and warm yellow lighting. My absolute favorite part, though, was that big window! None.

- sara (9/5): Weekend magic - Posizione super. Pulizia. Atmosfera magica dalla finestra .. Arredamento . Camera piccola ma perfetta per le nostre esigenze. Bagno comodo , arredamento di ottimo gusto. Letto molto molto comodo. Profumatore e dettagli apprezzati.
- Michele (9/5): - Camera molto accogliente e posizione ottima per visitare Amsterdam senza l'utilizzo di mezzi di trasporto. Stanza un po' piccola e qualche lenzuolo non proprio pulitissimo.
- dane (10/5): - Proche du centre Rien😉
- Stephanie (10/5): Very nice staff and beautiful room - Amazing location, very clean, super nice staff.
- Halldórsdóttir (7/5): -
- Maria (9/5): Great value for money in the centre. - Very central. The room had everything needed was very quiet, it was clean; the bed was extremely comfortable; the staff was friendly and helpful. They brought up my luggage and brought it down because it was two flights up. It was a 15-minute walk from the station. Very convenient and perfect for what I need. Lighting in the bathroom, not ideal to put on your make-up, but hotels rarely get that right.

- PANAGIOTIS (9/5): - Ήταν πολύ ωραίο, το προτείνω
- Amandine (9/5): -
- Renee (10/5): - De locatie, is super goed. Gelegen in een leuke straat en dichtbij het treinstation. Het Brabantse ontvangst was heel leuk. Goede tip: als je hier verblijft, ga dan eten bij het restaurant beneden.
- Amelie (8/5): -
- Fiona (8/5): Mooi hotel op een goede locatie in Amsterdam - Mooi boutique hotel op een prachtige locatie in Amsterdam. Het is stijlvol ingericht, schoon en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. De bijgeleverde oordopjes waren erg prettig, omdat het wel wat lawaaiig is in de omgeving (maar dat is ook logisch in hartje Amsterdam!). De ontbijtdeal met het koffietentje tegenover is top, we hebben genoten van de lekkere koffie met croissants. Het bed en de kussens zijn vrij hard maar wel lekker ruim.
- Natalia (9/5): -
- Giancarla (8/5): Location was worth it 👏 - Great location. Lovely staff. Tidy room. The bed was very far and none of our side lamps worked (they needed to be charged).
- Steven (10/5): We loved our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again! - We would absolutely stay at hotel calisto again. The room was lovely, clean and the staff were so friendly. The location is my favourite in Amsterdam and we found it very comfortable and good value for money! The only downside is that the room was very small and there wasn’t a great deal of space to leave our things/ hang our clothes. But it is clearly stated that it is a small room so this was to be expected.
- Jasmien (3/5): -
- Clare (10/5): An excellent stay in the Jordaan District. - The room was lovely and in a really quiet part of town with hardly any traffic noise. The hotel is very clean and warm and there are friendly, helpful staff in the restaurant downstairs. Highly recommended. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
- Rémi (10/5): - La propreté et le très bon accueil Tout était bien.
- Maximilian (8/5): -
- Tiziana (5/5): - Colazione semplice posizione buona L’arredamento non c’era nulla per gli abiti praticamente tt in valigia niente tv
- Quentin (9/5): -
- Roland (8/5): Locatie is super en hotel is netjes en fris - Was minimaal Ontbijt
- Bede (10/5): Amazing stay! Trendy hotel in the best neighborhood. - Cant recommend this hotel enough. The location is amazing - close to inner city and trendy neighborhoods, Jordaan and De 9 Straatjes. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating to all your needs. The rooms are fitted out nicely with modern amenities and nice details - the Tekla soap was amazing. Also they have bikes for hotel guests to use.
Lastly i would highly recommend their restaurant below, amazing food and natural wine list - i also visited their sister restaurant Café Binnenvisser - equally as good.
Thanks to the manager Roy, and staff Cece and Malle(?) it was an amazing stay!
- Merve Nur (8/5): - The hotel was very nice, we were allowed to leave our luggage even though we went early and our luggage was carried to our room while we were away. The location was very nice and safe. We were also able to get free breakfast and coffee from the cafe next to the hotel. I would definitely choose it again. The windows were very difficult to open. Other than that, the stairs were small, yes, but that's how it is in Europe in general, it wasn't a problem for us.

- Roberta (8/5): - Posizione, cordialità del personale, comfort della stanza Senza ascensore e con scale così ripide meglio farsi aiutare a trasportare bagagli
- Michael (7/5): -
- Susana (9/5): Hotel pequeño muy bien ubicado - Lo que más me gusto fue la temperatura confortable de la habitación, la comodidad de la cama, la amabilidad del personal y el rico café del desayuno cortesía. También el detalle de regalar tapones y unas infusiones (no las reponen, solo una vez)
A pesar de aspectos mejorables, nos han encantado el hotel, el personal y su ubicación. Gracias por vuestra amabilidad constante . No me gusto la limpieza diaria. En 4 noches solo nos cambiaron una vez las toallas, cuando no hay sitio para secarlas en la habitación.
No limpiaban muy bien, solo estiraban la cama. Había pelusas y suciedad evidentes. Teníamos llena la bolsa de basura, y no la cambiaron ni una vez.
La ducha+lavabo dificulta el uso de ambos simultáneamente, entraba agua en la habitación.
- Victoria (9/5): Muy bien - La localización Las escaleras al último piso
- faiza (10/5): -
- Adam (10/5): -
- Maria (9/5): - Location, atmosphere and attention to details! Lovely place. We only got hot water from the tap and there was no heating in the bathroom.
- LucioReis_br (9/5): Cosy apartment with a good location. - Location in excellent. They have a partnership with a coffee shop with provides a nice mug of coffee and some pastry. Steps to the bedroom are steep but it wasn´t a problem for us. They don't have a front rececption for checking-in so we spent some time trying to locate the hotel (go to the restaurant at the corner). It took some time to figure out how the shower works and how to prevent water getting out the bathroom.
- Marta (8/5): Central location 15 min walk from central train station, but not in busy noisy area. Clean. Be aware of steep narrow sta - Stayed 1 night midweek in November. Room on second floor overlooking main street. Good location; not noisy at night; clean. No breakfast available but voucher for cafe opposite is a nice touch (check opening hours). Be aware of narrow steep stairs up as in many locations in Amsterdam. No lift. I did not have any issue as I was travelling with small trolley case and I do not have mobility issues.
- Albert (8/5): -
- Leandro (5/5): Super Lage, nachts sehr laut! - Die Lage ist super. 3 Nächte gebucht für 400€ die Bettwäsche hatte schwarze Flecken. Der Boden war verdreckt (Teppichboden) wenn man mit barfuß gelaufen ist hat man Haare zur Fuseln im Bett.
Die Wasserflasche neben dem Bett ist vermutlich 3 Jahre nicht gespült worden. Sie hatte ein Braunen Rand.
Auf dem Bild sah alles sehr geräumig aus. Wir hatte wohl das kleinste Zimmer bekommen obwohl 1 Jahr im Voraus gebucht!
Ahja 2 Feueralarme in 2 Nächten einer um 3:15 der andere ca 2 Uhr Nachts dafür gab es keinerlei Entschädigung!
- Marianna (10/5): Εξαιρετική !! - Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ ήσυχο και άνετο !!!
- Heather (6/5): Decent, simple, centrally-located accommodation for short stays - The room was ultimately quite cosy for one night, with nice linens and furniture, and our brief interaction with the staff member who gave us our key and explained the check out process was lovely. The instant coffee was delicious, and it was fun to get vouchers to check out Good Beans just across the road, a super nice neighbourhood cafe. There are a few instances where it didn't meet our expectations. While the furniture was quite stylish, there was no bedside light in our room, which meant only very intense overhead lighting. Nor were the windows double glazed, which honestly for such a busy corner in Amsterdam, I would have expected. There was lovely shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, and other nice scent additions from Marie-Stella-Maris but there was no soap / body wash in the shower. It just felt extremely barebones, almost like a hostel instead of a hotel. The tap in the bathroom was also very loose and we could only get very hot water. I think with a bit more attention to basic details, it could be a really chic little spot.
- Kim (10/5): Amazing stay and our new favourite! - It’s a great small hotel in a very bubbly area.
Roy was great upon our arrival and made us feel very welcome. We also got a lovely upgrade and made our stay even better! The room was great. Also to mention that the bed is a 10/10. I’ve never slept so well in a hotel. We come out to Amsterdam for a night on a regular basis and this is definitely our new go to hotel! Nothing
- Engelina Maria (8/5): -
- Romi (8/5): -
- Nancy (8/5): Super toffe locatie - Super schattige kamer en de meest gastvrije mensen die je beneden in een heel leuk (en lekker) restaurant ontvangen. Vouchers voor een heerlijke koffie en croissant bij good beans aan de overkant maken dit een top verblijf Niks
