- Felix (9/5): -
- Doreen (8/5): - Die Lage war perfekt. Mitten im Zentrum, alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar.
- Hernan (7/5): Viviendo cerca del Barrio Rojo - Me gustó la atención de Gani.
Que el mismo Gani subió y bajó las maletas. Buen comedor y bien equipado hasta había café expreso a piacere La escaleras muy empinadas y yo con problemas en las rodillas.
El colchón, las almohadas de bajo estándar para un buen dormir
- Arcangelo (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto! Location e posizione top - Direi quasi tutto, dalla posizione centralissima e comodissima. Poi Daniel persona gentile, sorridente e sempre cortese e puntuale per qualsiasi dubbio o domande. Se dovessi tornare o consigliare ad amici sicuramente sarà da Daniel 💪🏼💪🏼
- Beatrice (7/5): -
- Marco (10/5): -
- İBRAHİM (6/5): Konum güzel, onun dışı vasat üstü - Konumu Odalar daha konforlu olabilir
- Fernando (8/5): Amsterdam encantador - La ubicación muy céntrica y Gani nos atendió muy bien en todo momento Muy ruidoso y el grado de inclinación de las escaleras del 35 %, exigen una forma física perfecta
- İsa (9/5): -
- Frédéric (10/5): Au plaisir de revenir ! - Situation exceptionnelle. Guest house au cœur d'Amsterdam à deux pas de la gare juste à côté du Damrak. La chambre est spacieuse, très propre et très fonctionnelle. Un petit frigo permet de conserver quelques aliments. Une cuisine est mise à disposition pour permettre de réchauffer des plats. Il y est possible de prendre un thé ou un café. L'ambiance est agréable et très conviviale. Gani est d'une grande gentillesse en plus d'être à l'écoute, serviable et réactif. Très bonne insonorisation des vitrages extérieurs. Malgré le passage, on entend pas les bruits des passants. En bref, une semaine très agréable passée chez Gani. Attention, il est à noter que, comme toutes les habitations du vieil Amsterdam, l'escalier d'accès aux pièces est très raide. Il ne convient pas aux personnes ayant des difficultés de mobilité.
- Julie (9/5): Superbe - Emplacement idéal au centre d’Amsterdam et hôte au petit soin
Nous recommandons !
- Stéphane (10/5): Parfait pour un grand week-end - L’emplacement , l’accueil, le contact avec le personnel, le coin cuisine …
- Monika (10/5): -

- Markus (10/5): Dani was so friendly and helpful. This is in the center of Amsterdam, in an old traditional house! - Great room, old house, steep stairs :-) great kitchenette everything was wonderful
- Julia (7/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Very nice stay! In the center of Amsterdam! - Gani was very nice! Our state was wonderful! Τhe place was very very charming! The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner. But still, the overall quality of the place was excellent!
- Çahatay (9/5): Good location , good design and everything is ok - Good location, good design You need to be sure for yourself ‘am i okey with stairs’ :)
- Antonella (9/5): Bella struttura per chi non ha problemi con le scale ripide - Il proprietario è stato gentilissimo, la camera e il bagno molto pulito e la posizione ottima. Purtroppo, come tanti appartamenti di Amsterdam, per arrivare alla camera le scale sono molto ripide.
- Emma (10/5): - Everything. Gani was an angel he was so helpful with everything and so accommodating. We will definitely be coming back here again, hopefully soon! Thank you Gani!
- HUAQING (10/5): 好 - 房东耐心细心热情
- Marta (9/5): - In primis la gentilezza dell'host, Gani, una persona estremamente disponibile e cordiale, riservato, paziente. Poi la posizione top che ci ha permesso di raggiungere tutti i siti principali a piedi. Pur trovandosi nel cuore della movida permetteva sonni tranquilli senza rumori molesti. Deliziosa anche la stanza e più in generale la casa; tutto molto pulito.
- Julia (9/5): -
- Sebastian (10/5): - TODO
- Dhiego (8/5): Good place and location! - Really nice, ambient super good! The stairs are a bit hard!
- Γιώργος (9/5): - Is was close to everything , polite staff , clean It could be warmer, the heater was medium
- Julio Fabio (10/5): - Excelente todo. Alojarse en una auténtica y típica casa inclinada. Tener en cuenta que tiene escaleras angostas y empinadas, pero Gani te sube las maletas. En pleno centro, lo que hace que haya ruido, pero Gani, te deja tapones. Amplia y cálida habitación . Se puede hacer uso de una excelente cocina, en donde Gsni te dejará café, té y dulces para comer. Nada. Todo perfecto, sabiendo en donde uno se alojará.
- Lorenzo (10/5): Fuga romantica ad Amsterdam - Bellissima camera in pieno centro ad Amsterdam. Posizionata nell mansarda di una tipica casa olandese questa camera matrimoniale con bagno é perfetta per una fuga romantica. Posizionata a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione centrale offre tutti i servizi a pochi passi. La ciliegina sulla torta é Gani, l’host, persona gentilissima e super disponibile.
- Anouardine (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Perfect hospitality, lovely place.
- taha (10/5): -
- murat (8/5): - Gani bey ilgisi ve yardim severligi cok iyi. Gece ayni saatlerde yuksek sesle küfürlü konusmalar
- nevin (8/5): güzel bir konaklamaydı - otelin konumu harika şehrin en cazip yerlerine yürüyerek ve hatta gün içinde mola için çok merkezi bir konumda, otelin otantik bir havası var hoşuma gitti, şehir ile uyumlu bir binada kalmak güzel bir his özellikle sevmediğim bir konu olmadı genel olarak beğendim
- Karolina (10/5): Nice, cozy, clean room, convenient location, great host - Gani (the owner) is super nice and helpful, the location is amazing (it is above an Italian restaurant you HAVE TO visit:)), the room was spacious and clean and cozy, there was coffee and tea and some snacks ready for the guests in the kitchen... the best accommodation we had in AMS (we have been 6 or 7 times) The bed is softer which might be fine for others but we are fans of firmer bed (but it didn't take away from our experience there:))
- cecilia (10/5): -
- Antoine (10/5): -
- Emre (9/5): - Temiz ve konforluydu. Konumu çok merkezi. Kahve ve diğer ikramlar çok iyi geldi. Merkezi olduğu için gece biraz sesli oluyor ama çok rahatsız edici değil.
- Pablo (10/5): Fantástico! - En el mismo centro de Amsterdam, a 5 minutos a pie desde Central Station. Trato inmejorable. Sitio pequeño pero limpio y acogedor. La zona es ruidosa por las noches, pero es lo que tiene estar en el mismísimo centro.
- Andrea (8/5): Gani has carved a lovely hidden gem in Central Amsterdam. - Centrally located, cleaned during stay, communicative. Access to room…very steep stairs.
- Simon (10/5): -
- Hasan Asker (10/5): - Rooftop Flies in kitchen
- Bert (10/5): Charming atttic in the center - I loved this place. Very charming. I would love to stay here again
- Dubouloz (10/5): -
- sofia (10/5): Recomiendo! - Gani fue super amable y atento. Limpieza: impoluto.
- Catherine (10/5): Couldn’t have been better - Just perfect for our short break, fabulous central location
Clean and comfortable, Easy access and communication.
Steep stairs, but typical of Amsterdam! Nothing
- Lindsay (8/5): Quirky comfortable room close to restaurants and station. - Our loft room was quirky and comfortable with a new bathroom - and we appreciated use of the kitchen to make tea and eat our breakfast. Our host Gani was very accommodating, friendly and helpful - including carrying our luggage up and downstairs. This is on the edge of the red light district - which may not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, it is very convenient to the station and restaurants. It also has many steep steps up to the loft room so it might not be suitable for elderly or unfit people. That aside, we enjoyed our stay and felt well looked after.
- Kai (10/5): Super zentrale Lage und alles was man braucht. - Tolles und gemütliches Zimmer in einem der alten (500 Jahre alt?) Häuser. Kaffee, Tee, etc… alles da. Sehr netter und unkomplizierter Host. Früher Check-in wurde möglich gemacht und ansonsten gibt es einen Gepäck Storage. Das Haus selber ist sehr ruhig. Super zentral und in Nähe zum Bahnhof. Sehr steile Treppe, die nicht für jeden geeignet ist. Im Nachbarhaus wird derzeit gebaut, aber die Ohrstöpsel lagen bereit. To Note: Kochen ist nicht erwünscht, aber Microwelle steht bereit.
- Paul (10/5): Lovely Stay Super Host - Let’s start with host outstanding from communicating to helpfulness from start to finish won’t find better. The room was clean and made use of the space well. Having a fridge in the room a super plus.
Where this place is it is on one of the main streets so expect a lot of noise throughout the night and early morning cleaning so you weigh up what’s more important being super close to the action (which is what I wanted) or somewhere quiet. Let me put here my experience this just NOT change from a 10 and that I would stay here again.
The loft was at the top of very steep stairs (no lift but host offers to help) the room is quirky has a slight slope on it. The bed I found very low to the floor maybe because of the beams so did struggle a bit to get up but bed super comfy. The bathroom was well fitted out there is a step up so have to be careful coming out especially in the middle of the night lol. But all super clean. What I put is about how I found the room not to criticise it.
- James (10/5): Fantastic host in an amazing location to explore - The location was absolutely perfect. It was very close to the train station and right in amongst the vibe of the city. Great atmosphere all around us. Gani was brilliant! One of the best hosts we have ever come across. Nothing
- Nevin Göksu (6/5): 500 yıllık evde konaklamak muazzam bir deneyimdi..otel küçük ve huzurlu.. - 500 yıllık evde konaklamak muazzam bir deneyimdi..otel küçük ve huzurlu.. Gani çok güler yüzlü ve yardımcı oluyor..asansör olmasa dahi Gani her şekilde yardımcı oluyor ve hallediyor.. ortak mutfak tertemiz..oturma alanı çok keyifli.. konumu Amsterdam'ın tam kalbinde..fakat barlar bölgesinde olduğu için hafta sonu aşırı gürültülü oluyor.. hafta sonu dışarıdan gelen gürültüyü.. her gün havlular ve nevresimler değişmiyor.. havluların her gün değişmemesini..
- valentina (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Perfect Amsterdam Room - Our host was extremely accommodating and friendly. The location is easy to find and close to all public transit. The room is very clean and is perfect for two guests. Nothing!
- Bruna (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): -
- José (10/5): ¡¡¡RIZZA ES UNA SUPER ANFITRIONA!!! - Apartamento ideal para la gente que quiere vivir una experiencia única e inolvidable.
Gani con sus indicaciones y Riza con su simpatía y amabilidad hacen sentirte como en tu propia casa.
La casa está en pleno corazón de la ciudad. Muy limpia y bien cuidada.
Ella hace que puedas viajar en el tiempo 500 años atrás y rememorar cómo vivía la gente en Holanda durante cinco siglos atrás. ¡Todo perfecto!
- MAYU (8/5): アムステルダムを知っている人なら最高の場所 - 立地がサイコー!アムステルダムを滞在した事あれば分かると思うけど、駅からの距離も遊びの拠点としても大変良いです。 思った以上の急な階段
- Rabier (8/5): - the rooms were great and the staff excellent Being in a very lively part of town, there was a lot of noise from the street, but ear plugs were kindly provided
- Virginia (9/5): - Gani was a wonderful host. The location is extremely central and the place was spotlessly clean.
- Teresa (10/5): - Everything! This was by far the best accommodations of our whole trip through Italy, Switzerland, France, and London. Excellent location, and all the amenities you could ever need. Clean, spacious, pleasing to the eye, and a very comfortable bed. Our host was pleasant and helpful. The room was even nicer than the photos depicted. We would definitely stay here again! The stairs were steep but that is normal for Amsterdam and Ganni helped us with the luggage so it was not an issue.
- Consuelo (10/5): No puede estar más céntrico. Anfitrión excepcional - La ubicación, si quieres estar en el centro de la ciudad es excepcional. Gani, el anfitrión ha sido muy amable y nos ha facilitado mucho las cosas. Ha sido una estancia maravillosa No es una zona tranquila, está en plenisimo centro, muy cerquita del barrio rojo, por lo que hay bastante ruido nocturno, pero sabiendo donde vas, y lo que te vas a encontrar, no es un problema. Si lo que buscas es tranquilidad, este no es tu sitio
- Chi Mien (10/5): -
- Nefne (8/5): - Gani bey çok iyi bir ev sahibiydi, her şey ile yakından ilgilendi. Kaldığımız yer gerçekten çok Merkeziydi. Sonradan öğrendiğim Amsterdam genel problemi binanın merdivenleri çok dar.okonuda da bizim büyük valizleri taşımamıza Gani bey yardımcı oldu
- Adele (10/5): Je recommande +++ - Idéalement situé, la chambre est très confortable et nous avons été très bien accueilli! L’escalier est très pointue mais pour des jeunes il n’y a pas de problème
- Pamela (8/5): - Location Such steep stairs
- Jonathan (9/5): Je reviendrai ! - L’emplacement est idéal, proche du centre et facilement accessible.
La chambre était propre et confortable, avec tout l’équipement nécessaire pour un séjour agréable.
Le personnel s’est montré accueillant et serviable tout au long du séjour.
La connexion Wi-Fi était stable, c'est top. L’insonorisation pourrait être améliorée, car on entend un peu les bruits des bars, ma chambre donnait sur la rue, heureusement des boules quies sont prévue dans la chambre :)
Une offre petit dejeuner pourrait etre un vrai plus, meme juste un systeme de commande et de livraison le matin.
- Carlos (10/5): -
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Dmitrii (10/5): Feel like home close to the railway station - The host is a really nice man. Gani was very polite and punctual. We were lucky to be allowed an early check-in. Not suitable for people who have difficulty with stairs, but it wasn’t an issue for us at all. Since it’s in the city center, it can be noisy - but that’s to be expected if you want to stay in this locatio
- Pavel (10/5): A beautiful hideout in a heart of De Wallen. - Perfect location and authentic setting in a modernised house of 15th century. The host was very friendly and helpful towards us!
- Marcela (10/5): A charming stay in a beautiful old Amsterdam building — everything was excellent and truly memorable - I loved the location and the unique atmosphere of an old Amsterdam building — I really liked everything about my stay.
I saw some reviews where people mentioned the steep stairs under "What didn’t you like?" Personally, I actually enjoyed the chance to experience this classic Amsterdam feature.
I like the breakfest - coffee, tea and fruits.
Everything was excellent. I definitely recommend this place! Nothing comes to mind.
- Esra (9/5): This is not a hotel but an apartment with two rooms that the owner rents. He was super helpful and supplied us with mult - Superb location very close to central station and red light . The room was very clean and had a decent size. The owner Gani was very kind and informative. Extremely steep stairs but this is normal for the buildings in Amsterdam . The bed was not comfortable, it made sound when you moved around and also it wasn’t a queen bed but it was two single beds brought together so in parted from the middle
- Stephen (1/5): Disappointed - The bed was so uncomfortable
The stairs were horrible
The room in the loft was too hot
There was no fire escape
- Milos (8/5): Very good -
- Giorgi (10/5): Exceptional - Place and living space
- Hildigunnur (8/5): Really friendly and helpful host, Gani!! Homey stay in the Heart og Amsterdam - You really felt at home, so it did not feel like a hotel visit - which we liked alot!
Also the host was amazing and super helpful!! It could get really loud outside during the evening/nights but the location is downtown so understandable. We are heavy sleepers so it did not effect us at all.
Also the stairs up to the room are not for the weak and would not recommend if you have alot of luggage like we did - but Gani was a soldier and helped us up and down the stairs🙏🏼
- Alessandro (8/5): Very good - Everything was clean, in great condition and the host was super nice and welcoming. Our room was facing the street above a club, so no sleep until 4am due to loud music and drunk people.
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient location We stayed 3 nights, our last night was Friday which was noticeable noisier at night with outside noise until 4am. Room has earplugs though.
- Lubomir (9/5): Superb -
- Mandy (8/5): Nothing was too much trouble for Gani 👍 - Very very friendly host 👍 Everything was lovely 👍
- May (9/5): Very good place, we enjoyed the trip. - The location was excellent, the host was very pleasant and always responsive to requests. The room was in good condition and was cleaned several times a week. Water heater wasn't working properly, but it got fixed really quickly, appreciate that! Also stairs might be quite dangerous.
- Steven (10/5): Wonderful place managed by a wonderful host. -
- Refika (8/5): great hospitality and nice place. thank you - location of the room is really good. very close to train station, tramway and touristic places. also there is a nice kitchen for common use there is a club very close and it was really noisy at night.
- Diana (10/5): Get ready to enjoy the nightlife in city center here! - If you want to be in the middle of the action, and live like the locals do, this is the place to stay. Out host was very accommodating and helpful and provided snacks, coffee and fresh fruit daily. It was loud all night and most of the day, however earplugs and a comfy bed allowed for sleep 😴 Make sure you are fit enough to navigate the steps up to the attic before you commit!
- Anikó (10/5): Last week-end of March - Central location, kind host. Affordable price. Glad to have found it.
- Krisztina-evelin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jason (8/5): Very good -
- Josefina (9/5): Superb - Excellent location and the host was very friendly <3 The pressure on the shower was a bit low, but everything else was great!
- Georgios (10/5): Thanks Gani! Everything Top! Cu next time 😀✌🏼 -
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional - I really enjoyed my stay in Amsterdam Central Guesthouse. I was kindly welcomed by Gani who showed me to my room: a charming room in the attic of an authentic Dutch house with lots of stairs. The central location of the guest house was very practical for visiting Amsterdam.
- Eylem (10/5): Excellent stay - The location is unmatched. It has just 5-10 minutes walking distance from Central station and Dam square. The room is big enough for 2 people. Also, it was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed in. Last but not least, Gani was very friendly and helpful. Me and my friend want to thank him again. The stairs are very steep but you get used to it after one day.
- Giorgi (10/5): Exceptional - Horrible staircase
- Albert (10/5): 20 steps and you are in the heart of amsterdam - The room smells so nice and clean the sheets were so crisp Nothing
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lottie'sluck (9/5): Cute and cozy hole amidst the chaos of the street below. - Cozy, quaint, warm, good facilities. The very steep and narrow stairs would be a struggle for some people, but we found them fun.
- Oksana (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this place. The greatest advantage – is the location just in the centre of Amsterdam, close to the railway station and lots of tourist attractions.
The room is quite spacious and we could also use the kitchen with coffeemaker/kettle and grab some fruit and candies. The host was very welcoming and even let us check -in a bit earlier. It can be a bit noisy outside because it is located in the busy street.
The stairs are rather steep and narrow.
- Raghunandan (8/5): Would come stay here again when visiting Amsterdam! - The host is very friendly and helpful!
Everything is maintained in great order!
The room cleaning was top notch! -
- Jean-françois (9/5): Superb - Very central and charming house, in the very center of Amsterdam, and friendly host. A bit noisy during the night
- Shawn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): A quirky room in an historical building - A lovely historical building on the edge of the red light district. That means very steep narrow staircase, low ceilings and sloping floors, not for everyone but i loved it! A comfortable bed and compact en-suite, all very clean. You have use of a communal dining area for making drinks or heating takeaways. And the host is wonderful too, very pleasant and helpful Nothing, it was a perfect stay.
