Guest Reviews
- Josh (6/5): -
- kevan (9/5): Fab can't wait to see you again. - No breakfast included. Because tourists abourist it,ate like pigs then left half i simpothe with the hotel I say this about all hotels in nl,shower cubicles need slip matts especially for the elderly have tripped twice but not put in a claim. Maybe....
- Javier (7/5): - The place is very centric
- Tetiana (3/5): -
- haim (8/5): - אחלה מלון במחיר סביר קרוב למרכז בעיקר לתחנה המרכזית צוות מסביר פנים חדר לא גדול אבל נקי נעים ומיטה נוחה יש חדרים שממש פונים לתעלה מסביב מלא בתי קפה ומסעדות
- Fatima (9/5): - Staff were lovely, very affordable, good location and good value for money the bedpost was stained and the shower curtain was very dirty
- Fatima (5/5): Wait for the renovations to end for access to better rooms - Location is a 5-min walk from Amsterdam Centraal which is a bonus point. Room lacks a window and it felt a bit suffocating. The fridge is just like a tiny cupboard with a blue light - no cooling, whatsoever. Staff can be more helpful. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and maybe there will be better rooms after July

- Kemppi (5/5): -
- Carla (5/5): Disappointed - Location was excellent. Staff were amazing. Disappointed with room & cleaning(in the process of remodeling) . Glad I had disposable sheets . Cleanliness is a must. Location & staff was amazing!

- Aziz (10/5): Great hotel -
- Sonia (7/5): - Struttura centrale , posizione perfetta, stanza molto piccola e pulizia non proprio perfetta . Personale gentile e posizione perfetta .
- Balthasar (6/5): Preis im Vergleich zu hochpreis Hotels zu hoch - Unkompliziert, gute Lage Nähe meines Ziel Ortes, zentral, freundlich Zimmer klein und kalt. Musste für zusätzliche Bett Decke fragen, die ich anstandslos, aber erst beim zufälligen Antreffen von Personal, erhalten hatte.
- Cornet (10/5): - Très bon rapport qualité prix, proximité imédiate avec la gare et les lieux d'intérêt ! le personnel de l'hôtel a été très arrangeant et aimable avec nous. Nous avions pris les chambres sans fenêtres qui constituaient un très bon compromis
- Eva (9/5): - Ubicacion excelente

- Reuben (8/5): An excellent place to stay when visiting Amsterdam centre, only let down by the warm room. - A great location in the city centre. Very adequate wifi and very helpful and cordial staff. The room was too hot even though outside it was around 5-7 degrees C and the heating was turned off. However the staff provided a fan which eased the heat considerably.
- Thierry (10/5): - Hotel superbe et personnel aux petits soins
- Annette (8/5): - Right in the middle of Dam Square Location
- Alice (6/5): Good - Good location. Fridge not working. Some Lights in the toilet and in bedroom are busted. Pillows are not comfortable, it's a big throwpillow not pillows.

- reda (8/5): -
- ANDRZEJ (9/5): Pobyt bardzo udany, spełnił moje oczekiwania. - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja w centrum starego miasta. Dużo knajpek w okolicy, chińskich i tajskich. Blisko pieszo do najważniejszych galerii i muzeów w Amsterdamie, które były celem wycieczki. Głośne towarzystwo na ulicy do późnych godzin nocnych (czasem do 3-ciej w nocy). No, ale to w końcu centrum starego miasta...

- Francesca (7/5): -
- Ludovica (10/5): -
- Heath (10/5): - Amsterdam hotel with a lift and the location would stay there again Nothing
- Olaf (5/5): -
- Bohdan (10/5): -
- Thomas (5/5): - L’emplacement La télévision ne fonctionne pas. La fenêtre était petite et situé a la limite du plafond, la pièce était donc sombre et claustrophobique.
- Jerome (8/5): Super, Amsterdam est une super ville - Emplacement très bien placé juste à côté de la Gare. Manque Gobelets carton dans la chambre
- Miriam (8/5): -
- fadi (6/5): -
- Nathan (10/5): Wicked! I shall be back. - The hotel was brilliant, perfect location. I shall be back. And the black lad on the front desk. Was a credit to the hotel. Really is very good at his job. Nothing
- Begüm (8/5): - Receptionist Ahmad was really kind
- Hanya (6/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): - La ubicacion es genial cerca de todo
- Steven (9/5): -
- Ignacia (8/5): - Personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar. Ubicación excepcional, a pasos de la estación de trenes y de los principales puntos turísticos. Faltaban enchufes en el baño para poder conectar artefactos. Una de las camas estaba al lado de la calefacción por lo que era un poco incómodo.

- Ingo (10/5): - Perfecte locatie ! Al jaren ons plekje voor 2 dagen feesten in Amsterdam
- Nickos (6/5): -
- Roger (5/5): - Lage ist bestens um die Stadt zu besichtigen. Zimmer war ruhig. Neben Hotel gibts gleich ein gutes Irish Pub. Zimmer war wie eine Abstellkammer. Kalt und ungemütlich. Teilweise defektes Inventar und Radiator bluberte ganze Zeit, obwohl er gar nicht warm wurde. Duschstrahl ist auch eher schwach. Bett ist durchgelegen und im Zimmer gibts nur Vorhänge, welche nicht richtig abdunkeln. Alles etwas schmudelig.
- Benathmane (4/5): Prix trop exagéré pour ce qui est proposé. - Très bien placé, en face de la gare centrale et à 5min à pieds du quartier rouge. Chambre très petite, pas de fenêtres, pas de prises, chambres en sous sol, prix extravagant. Pas de possibilité de stationnement.
- Sami Al Mojtaba (5/5): - Location Very small room
- salvatore (10/5): -
- Hussain (2/5): -
- Aziz (10/5): Exceptional Stay Thanks to Khaled and Ahmed - My stay was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was due to the incredible hosts, Khaled and Ahmed. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel genuinely welcome and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Both were friendly, professional, and always available to help with anything i needed whether it was recommendations, quick responses to questions, or simply making sure i was comfortable. Their hospitality truly stood out and made the experience feel personal rather than just another hotel stay. The hotel itself was excellent, but it was Khaled and Ahmeds warmth, attention to detail, and kindness that made this stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would gladly return just because of the outstanding service they provided. Thank you, Khaled and Ahmed, for such a wonderful experience!
- Sheridan (8/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): - Excellent location, friendly staff and clean
- Callum (7/5): -
- Maxime (10/5): -
- Grant (3/5): Great location, dirty room full of stains. Definitely needs a revamp - Location was right by the central station and easy to get to, just a few hundred meters from the station. The rooms looked nothing like the pictures. Dirty walls and floors- the towels were old and all had probably not been replaced in a decade (full of holes and marks). The bed was fine- but thin blanket- freezing for a cold week in Amsterdam.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Peter (5/5): War ok. - Die Lage in der Altstadt, Sauberkeit, Zimmerheizung Preis-Leistung passt nicht - Hilton Doubletree gab‘s zum gleich Preis 300 m weiter. Für den Preis war die Erwartung ein charmantes kleinen Innenstadthotel. (Leider enges Zimmer, enge Dusche, zum Innenhof, stark abgenutzte Teppiche) kein Charme, keine Nebenleistungen (Snackautomat an der Rezeption)

- Jonathan (7/5): -
- Giuseppe (6/5): Bene - La posizione
- Sturla (3/5): - Hotel is very worn out. There were broken ceiling plates in the hallways. Black spots in the shower and in bathroom ceiling. Mattresses were lumpy and worn
- Sienna (8/5): -
- Yves (7/5): - Emplacement Confort
- Valérie (10/5): Nous avons beaucoup bougé et nous sommes pas trop restés dans la chambre mais nous l’avons trouvé agréable. - L’accueil était agréable, la chambre et la salle de bain étaient propres, les serviettes et le gel douche sont disponibles.
- Bile (10/5): -
- William (7/5): -
- Michele (8/5): - Gostei da localização, muito próximo a Red Light e bem no centro da cidade!! Perto de tudo! Além disso um dos funcionários foi super simpático e atencioso. Um ponto que eu senti falta foi a plaquinha de “não perturbe” ou “ favor arrumar”. Além disso o banheiro tem cortina de box, isso faz com que toda vez que use o chuveiro o banheiro fica com o chão molhado.
- Melissa (7/5): Good location! - Good location, close to train station which is what we needed for the night. Spacious enough for two people.
- Lewis (10/5): -
- Leon (8/5): -
- Ingo (9/5): - We komen er al jaren. Ideaal kwa ligging. Schoon, lekkere douche.
- Andrea (7/5): Un buon rifugio dopo la cancellazione del volo - Vicinanza alla stazione. Reception 24h. Doppi cuscini. Stanza fredda con spifferi
- Lähdesmäki (9/5): -
