Guest Reviews
- kibar (8/5): -
- Annick (8/5): -
- charlotte (6/5): - The staff were really friendly and helpful. Very comfy bed, clean room, nice shower. The walls are very thin, so you can hear chats in the next room. Very compact room. Unfortunately my stay overlapped with Harry Styles being in concert, so the room was overpriced to my mind. Not the hotel's fault, but I felt I overpaid.
- YUAN HUA (10/5): 宾至如归 - 地理位置很好,交通十分方便,员工服务很周到。
- Ana (5/5): Not returning! - The staff was lovely and they allowed us to leave our luggage with them after check out. Very noisy from a ventilation system. I was told by staff that it couldn’t be turned off. The room was cold even after raising the thermostat temperature to 23. Dusty and stains.
- Daniel (8/5): geweldig - Alles vriendelijk personeel, mooie kamer niets

- Elizabeth (10/5): Third time staying here, would do so again! - Comfortable and stylish, well located on the edge of everything within reach without being busy and noisy Construction around the area FYI but that’s temporary, and did not affect my sleeping.
- Victoria (7/5): - Great location, friendly staff, comfortable size room for area Did not like the carpet flooring and bathroom sink was oddly shaped.
- Ira (10/5): -
- Monika (6/5): Umbauarbeiten ohne Hinweis. Für 1 Nacht ok, Zimmer zu wenig Licht, nette Dame an Reception. - Lage Ehemalige Schreinerei klingt interessant, von dem Flair ist leider nichts spürbar. Ausstattung tw abgewohnt. Umbauarbeiten im Gang. Zimmer zu wenig Licht.
- patrizia (10/5): - Hotel in general, really comfy bed, good continental breakfast and really good location. Room is small but that's the regular size for Amsterdam, especially in old buildings and downtown. -
- Christ (7/5): Fijn maar vroeg wakker - De kamer de locatie en het personeel Dat we sochtend wakker werden door het geluid van geboor, in het hotel. Dit vond ik asociaal.

- David (2/5): - Velmi dobrá lokalita na návštěvu města. Zajímavý interiér. Klidné místo. Z peněženek, které jsme měli na pokoji nám byly odcizeny peníze. Vzhledem k tomu, že jedna záložní peněženka byla 3 ze 4 dní v trezoru a když nebyla, byla na dveřích ceduje že nechceme uklidit, je více než jasné, že nám na pokoj vešel někdo bez našeho souhlasu a nebo nás okradl někdo, kdo má neomezený přístup do trezoru. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsme používali pouze kartu a omezenou hotovost, kterou jsme měli v "denní" peněžence jsme tento fakt bohužel zjistili až po návratu do ČR. Pokoj byl velmi malý a tmavý, byl zde nedostatek odkládacích prostor a mohl by být lépe uklizený . Snídaně vzhledem k ceně velmi jednoduché, malý výběr a téměř žádná obměna.
EN:
Money was stolen from the wallets we had in the room. Considering that one spare wallet was in the safe for 3 out of 4 days and when it wasn't, it was on the door saying that we don't want to clean it, it is more than clear that someone entered our room without our consent or that we were robbed by someone who has unlimited access to the safe. Considering that we only used a card and the limited cash that we had in our "daily" wallet, we unfortunately found out about this fact only after returning to the Czech Republic. The room was very small and dark, there was a lack of storage space and it could have been cleaned better.. Breakfast was very simple considering the price, small selection and almost no variety.
- karl (8/5): -
- GUY (7/5): - goed personeel, eetzaal te klein voor aantal kamers ontbijt is voldoende doch te weinig vlees en kaassoorten
- Daniela (6/5): - Lage und Hotelanlage Zimmereinrichtung lieblos und eng
- Martin (6/5): Muy buena ubicación sin pretensiones. Cumple el objetivo. Buena atención. - La ubicacion La falta de lugares donde colgar prendas y toallas
- Marnix (1/5): Don’t go here people - Nothing Dirty, unfriendly staff
- Lujastian (8/5): Linda estadía en Ámsterdam Manuel luego desde cuál fue tu nivel de satisfacción con la habitación co - El desayuno y la ubicación La habitación era muy pequeña y poco luminosa.
Deberían haber agregado una luz sobre la cama.
El baño queda con humedad deberían mejorar la extracción de humedad.
- Benito González (10/5): -
- BÁRBARA (4/5): Deja mucho que desear calidad-precio - Ubicación y desayuno. La habitación dejaba mucho que desear, oscura y con mobiliario anticuado. Pedí durante la estancia el cambio de habitación a través del chat de booking y no obtuve respuesta (la reserva fue para mis padres).
Así mismo, in situ les pidieron factura y no se la facilitaron, he tenido que tramitarla a posteriori después de la estancia.

- Koen (9/5): -
- Nestor Lopez Lozada (10/5): Hermoso lugar muy contento y volvería - Todo hermoso, el lugar y la gente NADA todo bello
- PAUL (5/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Almost 10 except for the breakfast. - Located close to the downtown area. It was easy to walk to the museum quarter to catch Tram to the Central Station. The breakfast is overrated. The scrambled eggs were a little dry, juice was limited, the price a little high for what was available and the seating crowded.
- Gintare (8/5): Decent hotel for a few nights - Good transport link. Close to Van Gogh museum and beautiful park. Friendly staff and decent hotel for a few nights' stay Quite expensive for what you get. 25 min on foot from central Amsterdam. The room was on the shady side and quite small.
- Nada (9/5): -
- Antoni (8/5): -
- Anne (8/5): Great place to stay in central Amsterdam - Central location, really quiet room, excellent breakfast, staff super helpful Rooms were a little dark, coffee from the coffee machine at breakfast wasn’t so good, would have been nice to have a bar / relaxing space to sit & enjoy a drink
- Caroline (8/5): - Een goede locatie, fijne douche en een comfortabel bed! De kamer was erg donker (weinig daglicht) en warm. We kregen de temperatuur niet bijgesteld
- Lidia (8/5): - Curățenia , pozitia ... Faptul că nu era lumina pe hol
- Birgit (1/5): A rabbit hole for a fortune - Location Room was so small we could not open the suitcase. No one has advised on the size of room upon check in. Elevator was broken. Shower was flooding. Staff was incompetent and unfriendly. Way too much money for a hole. Shocking.
- 5Hily (8/5): Amsterdam trip - Great hotel within walking distance or near excellent Tram and bus routes to all major tourist attractions and lots of restaurants. Smallish rooms but comfortable beds and great shower. Room lighting quite dim so room rather dark. Good breakfast quality and friendly helpful staff. WiFi connectivity very good.
- Didrik (8/5): -
- Marreco1000 (10/5): - Hotel excelente e super bem localizado. Perto de parques e museus. da para fazer tudo a pé. Poderia ter um custo menor
- Braden (10/5): -
- Barbara (7/5): - Location was perfect, beautifull hotel, nice breakfasts and nice staff I was surprised by the large price difference I experienced through Booking.com. I initially booked a night for around €300, but later found out that the actual price for the same room and night was about €100. When I needed to extend my stay, I paid only €89 per night.
This kind of discrepancy feels very unfair and misleading. It makes it difficult to trust the pricing when booking through the platform.
- W2642PGjadeh (10/5): Couples stay - Beautiful hotel in Amsterdam couldnt fault it! Right in the center of everything! 4 night stay bed super comfy! The only thing to point out here was there was no fridge in the room! Other than that its perfect
- Ad (8/5): -
- Paulo (9/5): -
- Raquel (8/5): Perfecto para lo que buscábamos - La localización, estaba muy bien conectado y la habitación que nos tocó estaba muy bien, era amplia y cómoda. Que la habitación estaba como en el sótano (planta inferior a la planta de la calle) y tenía unos ventanales que daba a un patio interior que a su vez daba a un pasillo, con lo cual te podía ver cualquiera. También es cierto lo que dicen en los comentarios que la habitación es bastante oscura, hay luces muy tenues.
- Ayse Seda (7/5): - The hotel was clean and comfortable, and overall the room was pleasant. The location was also convenient.
However, we had a very unpleasant experience regarding the coffee. During the previous days, we used the open kitchen area and no staff member asked us to pay for coffee. In fact, when we asked, we were told that we could use the kitchen. Based on this, we used the coffee machine.
On our last night, a staff member approached us and asked for payment for the coffee. We explained that we were not aware and agreed to pay.
However, the staff member’s attitude was very uncomfortable. She questioned which buttons we pressed on the machine and how many times. Even though we only had one cup, she implied that there could be multiple coffees in it and did not trust us. She checked our cups and inspected the coffee machine to verify how many coffees we had taken.
This behavior made us feel as if we were being accused of lying and made us very uncomfortable. We believe this situation could have been handled in a much more polite and professional manner.
Because of this experience, we would not consider staying here again and would hesitate to recommend this hotel to others.

- mairead2026 (10/5): Easter one night getaway - Really lovely hotel for a one night stay. Nice location, comfortable beds and friendly staff and they really looked after us for our anniversary
- Chen Hsin (10/5): Nice choice for an art and design lover! - The place has a nice atmosphere and there are some nice design details, the bed is the most cozy one I had in the trip this time, located close to the museums, I enjoyed a lot! The coffee table and clothes hangers area is a bit too dark inside the room
- Roberto (1/5): -
- isabellawhite12026 (8/5): Room was very dark and small but friendly staff - Needed a light in the hallway of the room. Room was small but was enough for one person. Mugs in room too small.
- MASAKO (4/5): - スタッフの対応は良く朝食も美味しかったです。 部屋が狭く動きが取れない。
- Marianne (8/5): -
- tjitske (9/5): Heerlijk! - De locatie , de inrichting en het bed waren super! Dit was de 2e keer dat ik hier verbleef. De wifi viel vaak uit! En het "halletje" was te donker, vooral lastig omdat het koffieapparaat hier ook stond, een lamp hier is geen overbodige luxe
- McCrory (8/5): - Clean , friendly staff good location Breakfast extra
- Martin (7/5): - Liegt sehr zentral, nur wenige Minuten vom Rijcksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum und Vodlepark.
Die Architektur der in den Hinterhof gebauten Neubauten ist sehr schön. Die Zimmergröße ist grenzwertig,.es gibt kaum Möglichkeiten einen Koffer abzustellen und auch keinen Kleiderschrank.
Das Frühstück war gut, hätte aber etwas abwechslungsreicher sein können.
- Gabrielle (10/5): -
- Marian (8/5): Het was een leuk hotel, gezellig in het centrum, met heel hulpvaardige en hartelijke medewerkers. -
- Martina (9/5): Tolles Hotel in super Lage - Das Zimmer (Comfort Room mit Treppe) war sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist super, gute Anbindung entweder mit der Straßenbahn oder zu Fuß in die Stadt. Obwohl das Frühstück sehr lecker war, gab es nicht so viele Alternativen für Vegetarier/Veganer(z.B Aufstrich, Frischkäse etc.)
- Myles (8/5): -
- Luca (10/5): Se dovessi tornare ad Amsterdam so già dove alloggiare - La colazione,dolce e salata di grande livello,ottima qualità e freschezza dei prodotti..
- gienke (8/5): -
- Nicola (8/5): -
- lxtiiina (2/5): I was looking forward but no was disappointed - The rooms were so dirty and small and dark. If you can pick another hotel
Do it. Plus they have carpet in the room and mold in the bathroom.
- Christina (3/5): Buchen Sie was anderes - Die Lage Es war so dreckig und es gab Schimmel im Badezimmer. Außerdem war da überall Teppich. Wer legt Teppich in ei Hotel
- RHEA (7/5): good experience will surely do it again - location super good room to small no fridge in the room breakfast far too expensive i had only for one day no fridge in my room no bottle of water room to small i had two luggages no space for both
- kathleen (9/5): Good base to explore Amsterdam - Very central helpful staff Nothing
- Julia Ashley (9/5): Absolutely recommendable for a stay in the city - Clean modern rooms and facilities, good location, friendly staff, nice reception area The room was quite small, but we expected this in the city center, so nothing really
- Elena (8/5): -
- FirstimeAmsterdam (4/5): Wasn't a good experience - A long list of grievances. Example, carpet had spots and I had to bring it to attention. Wifi wasn't working on 4th floor. Staff is very nonchalant about pleasing customers (suspect hotel management/ownership doesn't support staff well).

- Sofia (9/5): -
- MARKUS (10/5): - AMSTERDAM im ganzen Man konnte im Hotelzimmer kein Fenster öffnen!
- Webster (7/5): Good spot, great vibe just a little underwhelming for the price I paid - Good location - great staff. Rooms were quite basic for prices. No closet or place to store clothes other than a rack with a couple hooks (no place to store socks etc).
Also wifi was non existent within room. Could not get connected to the internet the whole time.
- L8932TLjayneb (10/5): Amazing city. Hotels well worth a stay - Well located in what we refer to as ‘the theatre district’. Walking distance to Hard Rock Cafe and Irish bar.
Lovely bar next door but one called Orestis Taverna. We only drank there but food looked amazing
We booked a small room- expect a SMALL room. However it was spotless, comfy bed, clean fresh linen on the bed and towels changed daily. Shower and toiletries amazing
Breakfast is as described, unrushed and stress free.
Trams-2 ,12 or 17 from central station to Leidseplein. Get off here and the hotel is literally a 2 minutes walk.
From the hotel it’s an easy walk to - Anne Frank’s, 20minutes. Food Hallen, 15 minutes. This is certainly worth a visit. Fabulous food in a vibrant atmosphere.
Can’t recommend this place enough

- Umut (8/5): - One of the best you can find in Amsterdam, comfortable, cosy and has all the basics you need in a very stylish manner. The wifi in my room never worked, despite reporting it a few times. Truly a lovely hotel otherwise, but not having the wifi was inconvenient.
- Roberto (1/5): -
