Guest Reviews
- Dwayne (8/5): - This is not a true B&B. They have very limited facilities on site and do not keep their desk open for extended hours. It is a converted house, each floor is like a private suite.
There are limited amenities in the suite too. Bring your own soaps/shampoos and be sure to ask for extra towels!
It's in a very convenient location and is clean enough.
- Billy (10/5): - Excellent experience. Great room and well furnished. Amazing view from the second floor window. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Situated minutes from all the major museums.
- Barbara (8/5): - Hervorragende Lage! Freundliche Betreiber!
- Frederick (10/5): - The location is perfect, super quiet at night but still close to all the attraction in town. The place is super clean and all the necessary is there for you to have a good time there. I recommend! Just read the check-in request to make sure you will have a perfect stay!
- Andrew (10/5): - Conveniently located within walking distance of the historic city centre. Second floor apartment within a traditional narrow canal-front townhouse. It is accessed up communal steep staircase from a main front door and is annexed to the main hotel next door. The apartment overlooks a very picturesque canal, which is the best feature together with the sizeable open plan living / dining / kitchen area. It has a comfortable double bedroom and a wet room. The kitchen area could use some minor repairs to drawer fronts, handles etc, but this didn’t affect our enjoyment. The hotel staff next door were very accommodating with check-in, check-out and leaving luggage. The rear bedroom overlooks an internal courtyard which is also overlooked by bedroom windows from the adjacent hotel. No particular issues, but meant some conversations from neighbouring accommodation could be heard clearly in the evening / night-time if windows were open. Overall would recommend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Good location.
The apartment is not as expected, not so clean and not so comfortable.
- FARIBORZ (2/5): Do not waste your money. One star hotel worth 90$ - This place Is worse than motel 6. Do not expect anything more. Definitely not worth more than 90$/ night, and only because it’s near the center of town. Save your money and get a place 1/2 mile away , 10 times better. DOT NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Expect broken and dirty furniture, unsafe fifty stairs that are narrow and hard to clime. Lights not working. Heating doesn't stop..
They don’t even provide soap in the toilet. This is a clear violation of health code.
And after we paid EVERYTHING upfront, they asked for 50 Euros more for tax, as we checked in.
The following pictures show how terrible this place is:
Broken floors all over the place:
Broken furniture.
Ripped chair bottoms
Filthy sofas
Broken and unsafe, and dangerous ceiling beams
Unfinished paint, water marks on walls
Lights not working
Filthy mirror and furniture
They asked for 50$ more.
Front door of the “HOTEL”. The key broke as we were struggling to open the door.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place, friendly service, clean and comfortable.
Would definitely visit again!
- Alexandra (8/5): Beautiful - So spacious, canal views, and the nicest front desk staff you could ask for. It was so lovely to have a sitting area and a huge kitchen. I wish I could live there all the time!
My only issue was we could very clearly hear the people in the other apartments (there was a baby downstairs and a loud couple next to us...) but that’s not the hotel’s fault.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not ideal - The space is very large and on a quiet street in a very busy location. However, if you are booking for 3 people they will not allow it. The space is large enough to accommodate but there are regulations against it. It doesn't state this anywhere in the booking which is frustrating, but regardless they were very rude about it. Also rude when we had friends stop by to meet us, rushing outside to tell us no one else was allowed in the apartment. Not even to visit or sit to make a plan. Not really ideal at all for a group trip. One of our party had to find alternate accommodations the two nights we were there at great expense at the last minute.
- Stewart (10/5): Nice hotel and great area - We stayed in the apartment, which was spacious and comfortable. Service is good at the hotel and the smoking room is a bonus. Second time staying here and we'll be going back again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice apartment in a good, central location. Staff friendly and happy to help. There was refurb work going on in reception but staff were apologetic and it didn't inconvenience my trip. Only negative is walls are quite thin and you can hear other guests and noise from the street.
- Verified traveler (10/5): BRILLIANT!! - Such a lovely place to stay wasn't to far from main part! The apartment was lovely inside the bed was really comfy, the cleaness was perfect not a dirty mark anywhere. Everything was great made myself and my partner very pleased making our experience in Amersdam even better. Only bad thing was the view wasn't that nice from the window other then that would recommend to anyone!!
- Molly (10/5): Cozy B&B, Would stay here again - We stayed in a cozy one bedroom loft, it was very comfortable and well furnished. The staff was very gracious and welcoming. Location was great, quiet street and easy walking distance to attractions. I would definitely stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfectly situated - Lovely apartment, perfectly situated within walking distance of all attractions from museums, art galleries, designer shops, dam square, central etc. Tea, coffee, Coke Fanta sprite all provided. Supermarket and restaurants on the next street. English channels on tv. Wifi perfectly accessible from room. I could imagine the steep stairs posing a problem for a few people though & the bed weren't the most comfortable but don't let that put you off. I would deffo recommend 👍
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay! - Great location, good and friendly service, a spacious and cozy apartment, well equipped kitchen, good value for money. We felt very welcomed and will definitely stay there again.
- mikki (10/5): Wonderful! - Such a lovely room, with beautiful views! Right in the centre by Rembrandt square. I love the beams! The only confusion is that you have to check in next door at the Rembrandt hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were amazing and had a lot of information for us. Location was perfect!
- Brian (8/5): Great stay - We used one of the apartments in the building next door. The bedroom is very comfortable with LOTS of storage. We walked from the train station, and had we not gotten lost (our fault!), it would have been about 15 minutes. Plenty of food, shopping, bakeries, coffee shops, and sights nearby, and it's far enough away from the extremely busy areas near the train. Overall very quiet, although there was some early boat traffic along the canal which is a problem for a light sleeper on the extra bed (in the front room). But, on that note, there's a canal outside with a wonderful view!
- BY101 (10/5): Amazing stay. - Dont listen to any negative reviews. The place was fantastic, the Wifi Worked, the area was amazing you are surrounded by everything. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They let you enjoy your stay without any disturbances. It is a nice quiet road where you can get the best nights sleep especially after partying. We came for Kings day 2014 and Ajax winning so the atmosphere was brilliant. I recommend this hotel to anyone that is wanting to come to Amsterdam. Tico you are the man! Your staff are brilliant. See you again soon.
- melissadingmon (4/5): It isn't a Bed and Breakfast. - When I searched Expedia for a Bed and Breakfast with wifi, that's what I wanted. Rembrandtplein did NOT live up to the terms and conditions.
They explained that they only call it a B&B to save money on taxes and skirt regulations, but that actually providing breakfast was out of the question because food is expensive.
Wifi was not available and they said that I could go down three flights of stairs and into their Internet cafe for 30 free minutes on their computer.
They gave us filthy towels that had sizeable holes in them. There wasn't even a bar of soap to wash our hands with. There were no hand towels. There wasn't a bathmat, so we had to use one of our towels on the floor.
The owner's attitude was awful. He sat in his bar drinking and acted put out when we arrived and when we checked out.
The couch had so many stains, it almost resembled a pattern, until you stepped closer to realize that it had never been cleaned.
The bed is in a loft, so the owner doesn't want to climb up and clean it. The bed had someone else's hair in it (quite disturbing when you are crawling into the bed). That same hair was all around the bed, mixed with dust and grime. They only provide one blanket.
Rembrandtplein B&B is in a good location, but the owner's attitude, the rooms condition and lack of "amenities", combined with their lies about being a B&B and offering wifi made this place pretty awful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great location - This was a good hotel for the price. excellent location but did not have shampoos, soap, etc so remember to bring. Very roomy.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Weekend at Amsterdam - Good hotel, nice staff. Big apartment, a little noisy but it seems all the buildings at Amsterdam are like that.
Missing towels. It should have more available towels.
There was a delay on receiving room.
Overall, nice hotel. Recommend!
