Guest Reviews
- marion (10/5): -
- Federica (8/5): - The room was very small, but I just appreciated that there was no moquette and also that the bathroom was good. The position is super close to the center and there are a lots of cute places and fully connected with transports if you have to move in the city. Nothing, was all fine!
- Beal (8/5): - Very lovely location! Very clean and helpful staff.
Beautiful view. Would definitely return!
- Sofia (6/5): -
- Marcel (7/5): Viel zu teuer für die Qualität der Zimmer. - Die Lage und Umgebung war toll. Baugerüste vor den Fenstern über die man hätte leicht in die Zimmer steigen können, da man die Fenster nicht sichern konnte. Auch haben Folien die ganze Nacht über Geräusche verursacht sodass man von ihnen ständig geweckt wurde. Die Bettwäsche war auch nicht wirklich sauber (fleckig). Aus der Dusche kam sehr wenig Wasser und das Wasser im Waschbecken wollte nicht ablaufen.
- Anna Rita (5/5): Avventuroso - La posizione strategica. Vicino alla fermata tram e in centro.
A piedi si possono raggiungere tanti punti belli dí Amsterdam. Pulizia 0

- Gianluca (1/5): Pessimo non lo consiglio - Niente ero in un sotto scala camera 83 Le stanze e i servizi
- laura (7/5): - La zona y era decente La recepcion estaba en otro hotel
- Shauna (1/5): - Wasn't told prior to arrival that we were in completely didnt hotel to one that was booked and prepaid for only informed by a letter stuck to front door. Room was drafty due to work being done on the building useless heating facilites and stubborn window scaffolding blocking views. Original booked hotel was fine no work being done, when i asked why the hotel had been changed i wasnt given an answer. Thought the cupboard door led to a cupboard but actually led to quite a dangerous open gap in the building with no window. This was clearly the same for the room next door as the group staying in the room climbed through and onto scaffolding around 0200am drunk etc which woke us up. Bed positioned under slanted roof area which resulted in terrible sleep. Tv and heating both didnt work. Downstairs area was messy and cluttered. Staff not around to speak to. If pre warned about this we would have refunded our stay and found somewhere else for the price if not cheaper with better conditions.
- Marco (9/5): -
- Monique (8/5): Mooie locatie als je Amsterdam wilt bezoeken voor een schappelijke prijs! - Locatie is perfect Kamer is erg klein en had een klein raam bovenin
- Florian (1/5): Furchtbar - Das einzig positive an der Unterkunft war das man relativ zentral war und schnell zu Fuß an verschiedenen Spots war Leider absolut nicht empfehlenswert – unhygienisch und enttäuschend
Ich habe zwei Nächte im Amsterdam Townhouse Hotel verbracht und war leider sehr enttäuscht. Schon beim Betreten des Zimmers fiel ein starker, muffiger Geruch auf. Bei näherem Hinsehen war deutlich Schimmel an der Zimmerdecke, in der Dusche und an weiteren Stellen zu erkennen – ein gravierendes hygienisches Problem.
Zusätzlich lagen Fingernägel auf dem Boden, was zeigt, dass die Reinigung sehr oberflächlich oder gar nicht stattgefunden hat. Auch das Fenster direkt neben dem Bett hatte keinen Sichtschutz, sodass man von außen direkt ins Zimmer schauen konnte – das war für mich extrem unangenehm. Man musste dauerhaft die Rollladen geschlossen haben.
Insgesamt war das Zimmer in einem Zustand, der aus meiner Sicht absolut unzumutbar ist. Ich habe mich in der Unterkunft weder wohl noch sicher gefühlt.
Ich habe den Zustand mit Fotos dokumentiert und den Vorfall auch bei Booking.com gemeldet.
Ich würde dieses Hotel definitiv nicht noch einmal buchen.
- Nicolas (3/5): Hôtel 1 étoile au prix d’un 4 étoile… - L’emplacement Chambre sordide, salle de bain partagée, équipement vieillot, le prix de la chambre scandaleusement élevé
- NURI MERT (4/5): -
- Balugyánszki (5/5): -
- Herma (7/5): Prima prijs/kwaliteit hotel op toplocatie - De locatie was top. De kamer was klein maar verder prima. Het bed vond ik wat klein en een beetje hard.
- Vivian (8/5): - It’s close to central Stairs

- Arnold (2/5): -
- Lindsay (4/5): Décevant.. - L’emplacement Chambres sales, porte de douche cassée, poil et tache sur les draps du matelas.
- SINTZEN (1/5): - La situation géographique est bien. Les autres personnes séjournant dans l’hôtel sont irrespectueux. En pleine nuit, ils crient, déménagent des meubles et fument dans l’établissement.
Le lit est très petit mais tout est propre.
- Simon (6/5): -
- Fernandes Gonçalves (7/5): -
- Lopez (10/5): Perfecta y cómoda estancias - Está en el centro hay muchas cosas cerca y me encanta tener todo cerca ver canales y muy tranquilo
- Jorge Humberto (9/5): -
- Anne Sophie (6/5): -
- Théo (5/5): Séjour passable, mais pour une courte durée car vraiment petite chambre - La proximité du centre-ville et la salle de bain récente La propreté des chambres est à revoir surtout sous le lit, vous pouvez trouver de la crasse et tous ce que vous voulez le nettoyage n’est pas fait correctement, voire pas du tout
- Armstrong (10/5): - Great property and convenient if visiting for a few days.
- Richard (7/5): -
- Deprez (7/5): Goed voor een nachtje of voor 2 nachtjes maar niet meer ! - De ligging is fantastisch! De trappen 😅 en er is bijna geen ruimte om te bewegen. Maar ja, we zijn in een grote stad natuurlijk …
- Adam (1/5): I wouldn’t tell anyone about this hotel, I was embarrassed to show anyone my room, shithole isn’t the word - Absolutely nothing I never staying in anything worse in my life Everything
- Svetlana (6/5): - No air conditioner, even though it said it did when I booked it.
No coffee, no fridge, no microwave in room.

- Giusi Valentina (9/5): -
- Jeff (8/5): Efficient, convenient, a good reasonably priced place for Amsterdam - Great location for where I had to travel in Amsterdam. Clean, efficient property with nice neighbourhood shops and cafes nearby. Try the small Italian place with home madepasta. Fantastico! I will be returning to the Townhouse for my next business trip to Amsterdam
- Darren (6/5): Basic, nothing special but did the job. - Location Had to pay a small fortune to park.
- Ruggeri (1/5): Bad - No hot water in the shower
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - the location -
- Bruce (8/5): Very good -
- Aleh (9/5): Superb -
- Clan (8/5): Very good - Location good, staff friendly, basic but expected that
- Amanda - Jane (6/5): - Great location near a tram stop number 4. Awful check in as we were sent to The Townhouse across the road. Room was really noisy with 6 rooms sharing a bathroom
- Murat (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shourjo (8/5): Very good -
- Dimitrios (7/5): Good -
- James (4/5): - Liked the location. Room was tiny and the shared bathroom on another floor.
Otherwise clean and good location, friendly staff.
- Eliška (8/5): Very good -
- Tzo. (9/5): Superb -
- Candice (8/5): Amazing sleep!!! - We didn’t actually stay at the townhouse, we were moved to another hotel called ITC which was opposite, the room itself was clean an tidy, the bed was amazing!!! Such a comfy mattress, lovely duvet cover, I didn’t wanna leave :( the room didn’t have any tea making facilities which was abit of a let down but the bed made up for it! No tea making stuff in the rooms :( they were 2.50 on the machine in the lobby
- Abigail (7/5): Comfy clean room, great base and location to explore - Location was great, lovely comfy cosy room and bed, good shower and the room was clean, had a TV on the wall with access to Netflix etc Not the hotels fault, as its in a beautiful old building it can get a bit noisy and you can hear people talking, getting in of a night as if they are in your room and footsteps, that was the only downfall for us.
- James (10/5): Happy - Quiet at night. Tram stop very close. Good shower. Very little clothes storage space.
- Jordan (2/5): SCAM DEPOSIT - Room first night wasn’t available due to toilet being fixed, was then moved to the room anyway for the rest of my tip all thought there was works going on from 8am everyday, toilet wasn’t fixed either for all of the stay, finally when I got there asked for the full payment although I had paid €150 online prior to my Arrival, I was told I’d receive my money back after my stay and 3 weeks later still no sign of it
- Justina (7/5): It was very nice. - I liked because it was close to the centre. It could be better.
- Christian (8/5): Very good - Very good location Everything was ok
- Zacharias (4/5): Disappointing - It smelled like cigarettes
- Megan (1/5): Bad - Location If you read reviews at all before booking a place which I didn’t, I’d look anywhere else.
- Sonya (4/5): - Very noisy, power unreliable. Narrow stairs for suitcases and locks on doors seemed rather weak. Staff was extremely helpful tho, going above and beyond where they could.
- Jemima (5/5): Passable -
- Ρένος (9/5): Superb -
- Luke (10/5): Perfect central hotspot - It's in a perfect location i came on my own and the room was absolutely perfect couldn't ask for better value for money staff over in the reception are very welcoming aswellcwill definitely be using again Not much as a lone traveler it was perfect location is great staff are great I honestly loved it rooms are spotless
- Isabelle (10/5): - Good location
- Talita (1/5): We booked a double room and when we arrived they had no more options for us and he gave us a room with two single beds. -
- Lottie (9/5): lovely jubbly - shower was good too hot in the room
- Onat (9/5): Good location but not sure about cleanness. - The location was really good, and the room was even better than the images. The bed was comfortable,The shared facilities were clean and the staff was helpful. The bedding had some stains on it.
- Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Thé location we perfect and staff was amazing Not too much! Very happy with my stay
- Tony (8/5): Very good -
- Gabriel (8/5): Very good -
- Elizabeth (4/5): Dissapointed with the need to walk up flights of steep stairs. - Comfortable beds. Friendly staff on duty who ensures things that we needed are provided for in the room like Kettle. Walking distance to many eateries and the Tram stop 1 minute walk from the hotel. We booked The Townhouse Hotel upon reaching there, the signage on the door requested us to proceed to ITC Hotel for check in as the reception was there. Despite informing of weak knees and unable to walk flight of stairs, we were given room on the 2nd floor. The duty manager said the stairs is OK to walk up but upon reaching the stairs, it was steep and narrow and difficult for the elderly to walk up with heavy luggages. The steep stairs is dangerous for the elderly with weak knees and it can cause injury if not careful. The Hotel should notify Booking.Com that guests will have to proceed to ITC Hotel for registration and check in.
- Marius (9/5): Superb -
- Christian (5/5): Passable - Near to the central and near to the canal, but also they had bike rental which was very convenient. The staff are very friendly. We can hear what is happening upstairs and the front door when people close it, we hear a big bang and we end up waking up at night time. Was difficult to sleep. The heating wasnt working properly, it doesn’t warm up well even though we put it ip to max.
- Gabriele (10/5): Exceptional - every thing
- Theo (7/5): Good -
- Tulip (6/5): Great location. Friendly staff. Wildly steep stairs (as typical of the old Dutch townhouses) - Perfect location. Friendly staff. Staff changed our room after two nights due to mosquitoes in the room with the windmill wall sticker. When we were given the room initially the member of staff said in passing that there is another room free tomorrow if we are not happy with to room provided. Which hinted that the staff knew the room was not good. Following two nights at the hotel we finally gave up with the mosquitoes and asked for a different room. By this point we were both covered in bits. When I told the receptionist the reason for wanting to move they cut me off mid sentence and said that they are aware of the problem. This lead me to believe that this is a common complaint from guests which makes me wonder why they are still putting people in that room.
Once we moved the room was great. So thank you to the hotel for the service.
- Matraxhi (1/5): Bad - Shower It was under lever floor which was not shown on to the boking
- Leah (5/5): Passable - The property itself was nice and the staff was lovely too There was sooooo many mosquitoes in the room, I literally got eaten alive
- Ainars (9/5): Superb -
- Gavin (2/5): Very poor - The location was the only redeemable factor. Bed bugs.
We got put in a hotel opposite where nothing looked the same.
Rude staff.
The vending machine had different price for the same beers.
Uncomfortable rooms.
- Jeremy (8/5): - Ideally placed for exploring Amsterdam. Tram stop 1 minute away. Room was adequate and a bit of a challenge for a 6 foot male! Would use again.
- Marius (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christ'l (10/5): Affordable and convenient - Location None. ☺️
- Niko (2/5): - Bed bugs and stains everywhere
- Adam (7/5): Good -
- James (9/5): Superb -
- Nausheen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mclelland (2/5): Very poor -
