Description

The Dikker en Thijs Fenice Hotel Amsterdam is established in a grand historic canal house on a magnificent location on the corner of the Prinsengracht and the Leidsestraat. This superb location enables you to explore almost all of the significant attractions in Amsterdam on foot.

Only 150 meters from the Leidseplein with its numerous bars and restaurants, around the corner from the shopping area, just a stone?s throw away from the Spiegelkwartier where more than 70 antique shops can be found and within walking distance from the renowned museums. It is almost impossible to find a better location for a hotel!

The famous chef H. Thijs and entrepreneur A.W. Dikker opened a shop on the Kalverstraat and moved to the grand building on the corner of the Leidsestraat/Prinsengracht in 1921, where they became renowned for trading caviar, lobster and oysters. Soon, the business blossomed and expanded to the well known hotel it is today.

Overall very good & we'd come back again.

The hotel was clean & well maintained. We didn't have the hotel-breakfast because the hotel was well located & there were plenty of other places to eat. Also really easy to get to by public transport and well placed to walk to other places as well as being near a chemist. The night reception person was very friendly & extremely helpful. The room we had was big & they added an extra bed for our little person. Beds were comfortable, clean & the room was well equipped - We even had a kettle. Overall the place was worth the money (considering it was Amsterdam)and we'd come back again.

Pretty much all good but 2 points lost were on service & comfort: 1.The rooms facing the street were a little noisy (from the trams & late-night revellers) - double glazing wouldn't have hurt. No good if you're a light sleeper. 2. The morning receptionist wasn't at all nice and she preceeded to argue with a hotel guest over the phone.

Great hotel on a noisy location

Very big, and very comfortable room. The bed was really good. Also an excellent location to do the touristy things of Amsterdam. Not hat expensive, and very friendly staff.

The hotel is on a busy street and apart from the noise of trams, you do get a free concert of the Amsterdam Pub Closure Choir thrown in.

Great location and value. Noisy location. Highly recommended.

The hotel is in a fantastic location on the corner of beautiful Prinsengracht and Leidsestraat, just steps to lively Leidseplein, Kerkstraat, and Spui. There is a tram stop right outside. The room was huge with comfy beds and linens. There is a secure luggage storage room and courtesy umbrellas to borrow. Nice bath with a long deep soaking tub and handheld shower. Nice touch.

The fabulous location is tempered by the fact that is on a very busy, lively, and loud street. My suggestion is to bring earplugs. I did and it worked great. We didn't partake in the breakfast because it was too expensive. We bought meat, cheese, and bread from the Albert Heijn and enjoyed breakfast on our balcony. Many quick and tasty eats right outside the door.

Grand Rooms, Good location

Rooms were exceptionally spacious for Europe, well priced and light with large windows that could be opened for fresh air. Also, right on tram route. Easy access to central station.

Hotel is on a corner, rooms facing a canal on one side and a busy street on the other. If you get a room on the busy street side, it is very noisy at night and revellers will keep making noise until 4am.

Highly recommended - would visit again!

Polite and helpful staff. Most of the attractions are within walking distance. Our room was spacy, quiet, perfectly clean, with a large, comfy bed. It was nicely decorated in nuances of cream, burgundy and brown. Our room had a very large window, of almost 3 x 3 metres, with a view of the canal!

The neighbourhood is crowded with tourists

Great city location, tough place to deal with having a car

Great location for those who want to easy access to Amsterdam. The street car runs right past the hotel. The main shopping streets run right past the hotel. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance, including a town square just one block away. There is a pastry shop across the street for those wanting a quick and inexpensive breakfast (this worked out great for us, since we could just pick up some pastries for our son). The staff is helpful. The room is very clean and comfortable. Excellent bathroom.

Very tough parking situation. There is a garage about one block away; the cost is 45 euro's per 24-hours period. It is a leave your keys deal and access to your car thereafter is limited. When arriving at the hotel, there is an unloading space in-front of the hotel that you can use. Some guests just pulled up on the sidewalk to unload. The streets are busy and driving to this hotel should only be attempted by those who can handle city driving. Please be very careful to avoid hitting bikes, pedestrians and the rail car that is right at the hotel.

A beautiful, comfortable hotel in a bustling part of the city

Location was fantastic for trams and for places to eat in the evenings (literally a 2 minute walk). Beautiful canal view from the room, the staff were very friendly and the room was always clean. Really enjoyed my stay there.

No air conditioning, which I really was expecting from a 4 star hotel. Very hot at night and we were given quite thick duvets in the summer, which was odd. I can't comment on breakfast as it was too expensive so I usually got something on the run.

Satisfaction on hotel stay

Location is good. For Eupore the rate is reasonable.

Lobby is a bit small. Lift is too small. If possible a bit of touch up in room is better.

excellent!

- an extremele spacious and clean room and bathroom: great value for one's money (we paid about 85 euros for the room) - perfect location for visiting Amsterdam: walking distance to Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum, to the flower market, trams taking one to the central station in 10-15 minutes (although we walked that distance) - very calm: could hear nothing from the street or the neighboring room - good breakfast (12€50): we only needed a small pancake or sandwich at lunch time - have already recommended the hotel to several friends and will certainly stay there myself next time I go to Amsterdam

- The elevator was not in use (February 2009)

A brilliant, large clean hotel with nice staff and breakfast

Everything about the hotel was great, we can't understand why there were negative comments. The room, 503, was huge, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff and breakfast were excellent. As good a four star hotel as any we have stayed in and probably the nicest four star we've been in in Amsterdam - granted it hasn't got a pool but everything else you would want from a hotel of this grade in a traditional, non-sterile hotel was here.

Excellent to spend a dream weekend in the heart of Amsterdam.

Fantastic location, standards up to the ratings, very nice rooms. If you get the suite at the 5th floor, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Amsterdam. Imagine that by night...on the terrace with a good glass of wine in a hand...

My bed cover was dirty...(just asked for another one). Elevator is a bit strange. Parking is not available from the hotel. Only private parking lot is 200m away, but it is horribly expensive (40 euro per day). You can park near the Vondelpark, in Kaiserstraat, for 13,20 euros per day, then walk to the hotel, for about 2 km.

Great location

All night street party on the first night - Not much sleep. When I finally received my account in Australian Dollars I was quite shocked. Very Very expensive. On my next trip to Amsterdam I will be looking for something a lot more economical. although the location was great, it was not worth the price.

The room was good, and the location and view over Prinsengracht was excellent. The staff were happy to help. Our dry cleaning was not ready before we left for home, and this got sent over to us which was excellent service. I would recommend staying here if you have a few pennies to spare.

We had made a request and this had not be adhered to until we had to point this out, despite booking months beforehand. However it was rectified and had an excellent view.

great location, easy to walk everywhere that we wanted to go. The people on the desk were really helpful and couteous. No problem in storing our luggage until we checked in (we got there at 7AM.) Ordered cabs for us and were of course helpful with any touristy things. Great location and a nice feel of old Amsterdam. The elevator and full size stairs were a big plus for me. Sure made moving your luggage around so much easier. Liked it a lot and hope to be back. Thanks!

Definitely would like to have had an individual room safe- for convience, for my liking. I travel with a laptop and cameras and it is nice to be able to secure them - although i was never really concerned about leaving them in the room. The card key room entry was a comforting factor (vs keys!) Would have been nice if your internet was free to your guests for a guick email home etc - a 20 min limit or something.

Clean, comfortable, nice size room. Pleasant staff.

The only fault is your policy against cannabis, which is available freely in nearby coffee shops. Not being able to smoke in the room is the reason I changed my stay from 8 days to 2 days and went elsewhere to a cannabis friendly hotel, which is just about every other hotel except yours. In 10 years of visits to Amsterdam, I never saw a card in the room like yours saying that you cannot smoke cannabis. Anyway, very nice hotel.

No real negative points, though hotel was Probably slightly overpriced. In the Summer months rooms at the front could be noisy if the windows need to be opened. On Saturday night there was a lot of noise from pedestrians in the street until the early hours. Clearly this is not the fault of the hotel.

The shower did not work and I had to call the staff to repair it late at night. I was also surprised that the breakfast was very plain, maybe that is one of the reasons for the not-so-expensive price.
