Guest Reviews

• elena (8/5): -
• FabMal (8/5): - Situé a moins de 15 min du centre, cest parfait. Chambre spacieuse.
• Steven (7/5): A fairly good hotel over all - Good location Rooms too small
• PETER (5/5): Poorly maintained, disappointing hotel - The location is close to the Centraal train station. The Coffee machine in the foyer is good. Most staff were friendly, particularly Shery. The first room allocated to us was small, hot, stuffy and had a very low ceiling height. As I am 6 foot tall, Shery was very kind and arranged for us to move to another room. The second room allocated to us was even smaller (tiny) with barely room to move around the bed and no room for bags. This room was also hot and stuffy and the windows were difficult to open. The shower room was poorly maintained and needs to be updated. Cups in room were turned upside down and never washed by cleaning staff each day. The decor was very tired. The bed and one square pillow were lumpy and uncomfortable. The stairs are very steep and quite scary. There are even steep stairs up to the front door. There is a lift inside the building but you have to hold the button down the whole time to make it work. The online photos do not appear to be accurate.
• Alexandra (8/5): -
• Abderrahim (8/5): جيد - أولاً أعجبتني معاملة الأشخاص في الاستقبال، كانوا لطفاء ومحترفين. ثانياً موقع الفندق كان جيداً جداً. ثالثاً النظافة كانت ممتازة. أما الغرفة فكانت ضيقة قليلاً، والسرير لم يكن مريحاً بالشكل الكافي. لكن بشكل عام كل شيء آخر كان جميلاً السرير
• JorisV9 (9/5): -
• Susanna (10/5): -
• Harun (8/5): -
• Ricardo (10/5): - Very well located. Staff is super nice. Breakfast is simple but very good.
• frank (4/5): not worth the price - Location was within walking distance to Central Station Room had no air conditioning, no english tv channels, no windows to outside
• Diana Carolina (8/5): -

• Chesley Lloyd (8/5): -
• LAURA (8/5): -
• Ana Maria (4/5): Nao repetir - Localização e simpatia dos empregados As fotografias são enganosas. A cama era muito má. Pequena para duas pessoas e o colchão péssimo
• Mauricette (8/5): -
• hillmer (9/5): -
• trn (10/5): - Lokacija super, blizu centra, ali mir i tišina, osbolje vrlo uslužno i pristupačno. Hotel ispunio sva moja očekivanja
• Leonardo (10/5): Estadia excelente com localização perfeita. - Tudo
• Julie (8/5): Parfait pour être près du centre ville tout en étant au calme - Très facile de le trouver, il est à 10 minutes à pied de la gare centrale et donc du centre ville mais suffisamment éloigné pour pouvoir dormir au calme. Le personnel de l'hôtel était très sympa et la literie vraiment bien. Un petit rafraîchissement des chambres serait bien même si tout est propre, l'hôtel est un peu vieillissant.
• Schettini (8/5): -
• Daniela (9/5): Muy bien - La ubicación es perfecta por que vas a todos sitios andando, estaba limpio y cómodo.
• Gina (7/5): Quirky with a lovely view - It’s location was perfect. The building was quirky. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. It was an expensive stay for not to have breakfast included.
• Chris (10/5): - Great location, and a perfect stay, had everything we needed, and great value also, definitely would stay again in future
• Najoua (8/5): -
• Adrian (9/5): -
• Dominika (6/5): - Perfektní místo, krásný výhled. Možnost udělat si kávu/čaj kdykoli během dne. Malý tlak vody ve sprše/umyvadle. Voda nebyla úplně teplá - dlouhé čekání než se voda vůbec ohřeje. Dost měkké matrace, ale to záleží, jak komu vyhovuje.
• Roberta Adami (7/5): Pelo preço não vale ficar nesse hotel. - Os funcionários muito prestativos e sempre dispostos a ajudar O quarto muito desconfortavel para 4 pessoas e para o preço que cobraram.
• Gilles (9/5): - We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel library. The location was great, near to everything yet quiet in the night. The staff were very accommodating and upgraded us from a tiny room to a much more comfortable room. That was so appreciated. The continental breakfast was very good. Overall, very happy with our stay and we will stay there again if need be. Can’t see there was anything I didn’t like about the property.

• John (9/5): Great base for a few days in Amsterdam. - Comfortable, clean, good location and friendly staff. N/A
• Elizabeth (7/5): Beautiful hotel, great location, rude staff member - Beautiful hotel in a very old well mentained building. Location is excellent. Close to central station. Walking distance to most of centre attractions and boat trips. The hotel itself inside is very nice. Its clean but beware of steep steps and a very strange elevator system. We were on top floor. It was extremely lopsided. The shower was great. Towels very nice. Nice aromatherapy shower gel and hand-wash. Free tea and coffee at reception. One young male staff member who wasn't very approachable from the beginning. We arrived early as I already contacted property to say that we have an activity booked, so if we could drop off bags. Everything seemed to be a problem and he wasn't keen on helping . The older man at check-in was very pleasant. To my surprise, he said you've had an upgrade. Breakfast is included. That's what I thought I heard. So anyways, the next morning, we excitingly went to the desk to mention breakfast. I knew that, more than likely, we would pay for breakfast, but the smell and handiness of breakfast at the hotel I didn't mind paying. I regret my decision. So on mentioning this to the young male he became smarky and even laughed at me in a very condescending manner. I said thats OK, we will pay, but the man yesterday at check-in did say it was included. He kept smirking and making me out as stupid . He was very hard to understand and spoke very low. But his attitude was definitely not cut out for the hospitality industry. I rarely write bad reviews, but this young man needs reprimanded for his behaviour. I definitely would not return here if I was to see him there. Breakfast certainly wasn't worth 43 euro for me and my 2 children. Continental choice was nice BUT the cooked breakfast option was beans, scrambled eggs and bacon. None of us eat meat. So we were limited to cheese coffee and sweet options. I wish I had of went up the next street for Dutch pancakes .
• ELENA (9/5): -
• Vigdís (5/5): -
• Lorella (9/5): - Hotel situato in buona posizione per raggiungere sia la stazione centrale, circa 10 minuti a piedi, che piazza DAM (Piazza del centro). L’hotel è ubicato in una zona molto tranquilla e senza rumori. La struttura è molto pulita, dotata di un piccolo ascensore per raggiungere il 2^ piano, mentre per arrivare al terzo piano ci sono le scale, abbastanza ripide come penso in tutte le abitazioni di Amsterdam. Ottimo il materasso! Buona la colazione, sia dolce che salata. Tutto ok.
• Caroline (9/5): A lovely stay! - All was inviting and comforting. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the room and bed where comfi and the hotel is very well located in an area where you are isolated enough from the busy city streets yet a few steps away from the center. It is an Old World renovated building with traces of the past. Simply a lovely stay.
• Muhamad (7/5): -
• leilah (10/5): - Great location, staff are very helpful and everything you need when in Amsterdam
• Peter (9/5): Een aanrader en zou het zo weer boeken - Het is een geweldige locatie, mooi gebouw en een schitterend kamer De kamer was wel warm, maar was niet heel erg
• Sonia (9/5): - Location, staff, size of room and cleanliness Hot room but we could open the windows and there were 2 fans in the room
• Zoltán (10/5): -
• Daniela Rodrigues (10/5): - A localização, a limpeza e o quarto em si são muito bons. Fora o café que é liberado. 😁 A pia do banheiro é bem pequena e no box poderia ter um apoio para sabonete,shampoo e condicionador
• EZEQUIEL (10/5): Excelente 10 - La ubicación es excelente , las instalaciones están muy bien y completas pero sobre todo debo remarcar las instalaciones muy buena predisposición de Rayid en la recepción ya que llegamos muy temprano y nos permitió ingresar a la habitación y estuvo muy atento a cualquier pedido . Muy recomendable
• Giuliana (8/5): Veramente piacevole. - Buona la colazione e ottima la posizione. Mi è piaciuto molto che si potessero fare gratuitamente the e tisane ad ogni ora. Ottima la marmellata di fragole a colazione. Buona la pulizia. La grandezza del bagno che è più piccolo di come appare nelle foto. La mancanza dell'ariatore in bagno. Consiglierei di Ampliare la parte dolce della colazione.
• GONZALEZ RUBIO (7/5): - La ubicación perfecta Habitación nada aislada de ruidos de habitaciones cercanas.
• Beisari Rossi (7/5): Correcto para una noche, pero mala relación calidad-precio - Es bastante caro para el nivel de habitación, que se ve un descuidada.
• Alessandro (10/5): Tutto ok - Camera comoda, posizione ottima
• Cristopher (8/5): Lindo hotel volvería - Si me gustó estaba bien, tiene café gratis no es poca cosa! El tamaño de la habitaciones
• Zoe (5/5): -
• Ilya (6/5): Great location, beautiful area, decent place - Good location Not the most comfortable, quite bad noise insulation
• Deniz (10/5): -
• Ingeborg (7/5): -
• Alessandra (8/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Pulito. - Pulizia Scale molto ripide, ma tipico ad Amsterdam
• Veerle (8/5): -
• Eleni (7/5): - Η τοποθεσία, το μέγεθος του δωματίου και ο καφές που πρόσφερε Το ασανσέρ ήταν πολύ αργό, οι σκάλες απότομες και το ντους είχε μόνο καυτό νερό. Η τιμή είναι υπερβολική γι' αυτά που προσφέρει.
• Fernanda (10/5): Muy buena - La habitación y la ubicación El ascensor era muy muy lento y algunas habitaciones eran muy pequeñas y no tan cómodas.
• Monica (8/5): Personale cortese ma andrebbe rinnovato - Posizione comoda Ambiente e arredi un po’ vecchi.
• Jaime (9/5): - Aseado y cómodo
• MARCO GIUSEPPE (8/5): Amsterdam : dal Library cominci bene ! - posizione e pulizia hotel/camera : eccellente. Staff : competente,gentile, disponibile: Bravi! Letto con materasso o.k., bagno senza bidet (si sa) un po piccolino e lavandino un po' datato. il lavandino , ovvero anche pulito sembra un po' sporco , soprattutto nello scarico dell'acqua.
• kim (8/5): Net hotel, fijne lokatie - Vriendelijke man bij de receptie. Herkent zijn gasten na 1 keer gezien te hebben. Prettige locatie De kamer zat naast een algemeen toilet, wat erg geluid gaf bij open en dicht doen.
• Micaela (10/5): - Alles
• Katarzyna (8/5): Location Greta location, Basic room. - Location, comfortable bed Poor light in the bathroom, hair dryer was not working, issues with hot/cold water in the shower.
• Allyn (9/5): The location was very convenient, great breakfast buffet included in price and a very good value for money spent. - It was a great value & so well located near the train station making it easy to travel to Haarlem, Delft & The Hague and also to & from the airport. It was warm in my room, but luckily I had a window and could open it to get some fresh air.
• Tudor (7/5): -
• Ramos (10/5): -
• Ana Paula (8/5): -
• Emrah (8/5): -
• Madeline (1/5): Overpriced, uncomfortable, and misleading from start to finish - The location was great as it was within walking distance to everything. The hotel was very unique with library books all around the front lobby The hotel stay was terrible and nowhere near worth the price being charged. The elevator only goes up to the second floor, yet we were placed on the third floor. To get to our room required us to climb steep, narrow stairs that felt like you were climbing a ladder while carrying your luggage which can be unsafe. The issues didn't end there. The room itself was noticeably uneven, to the point that walking across it felt like you were off balance the entire time. Cleanliness was a concern too as the shower was not properly cleaned. The beds were uncomfortable, hard, and we woke up with a sore back. The hotel also has free coffee in the lobby, yet you are required to bring your own cup. An odd and misleading detail that reflects the overall lack of consideration for guests. For the rates being charged, this level of quality is unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere.

• Linda (8/5): Good for short stay. - Not too far from the Centre of Amsterdam so easy to walk there. Staff very friendly. Comfortable beds. No plug in washbasin so difficult to have a wet shave. Milk, coffee & sugar supplies in bedroom not replaced for the second day of our stay so had to ask for more.
• Davide (7/5): - La vicinanza alla stazione ed al centro Nulla
• Lindsay (6/5): Small room for price- great breakfast - Great breakfast . Good location. Room we were given was very small. Not good value for price paid

• Dianne (8/5): Very enjoyable, central location. Good hotel facilities. - We were on the second floor with lovely views over the canals. Very close to the central rail station and all attractions. Excellent location. Great shower too. Clean towels and lin each day. Very slow lift, and the street could be noisy at night. But that’s not the hotels fault.
• Kateřina (8/5): výhodná poloha,čisté pokoje, žádný luxus leč uspokujující,kávovar na Recepci - poloha hotelu v blízkosti nádraží je skvělá, kávovar na Recepci k dispozici 24 hodin byl skvělým benefitem k pobytu,pokoj čistý a na přespání vyhovující, personál ochotný a paní u snídaně velmi ochotná
