Reviews

The following independent reviews were entered by guests after their stay at the hotel.

Anonymous Great location for the price if you can handle filthy carpet!: 7 November 2011; 6.2; + Good location for places to eat and see the major museums.; - Carpet was filthy and it made the room environment most unpleasant. Same breakfast everyday and should have some changes when you have people staying longer than two days.

Anonymous A decent hotel if you are willing to sacrifice comfort for location: 26 May 2011; 5.4; + Great location, right next to Leidseplein. Relatively clean. Bus to airport right outside hotel. Free internet in the lounge. Buffet style breakfast at a fee.; - very uncomfortable beds. Small room, tiny elevator which require a room key which can be annoying if you are coming and going often. Some of the staff was friendly and helpful, some not so much.

Chuck Some good, some bad: 30 April 2011; 6.0; + Good breakfast, Staff were helpful in organizing our trip to Keukenhof. English spoken very well by all staff.; - Four requests over two days to get the TV to work were ignored; it didn't work when we left. The carpet was quite dirty/stained and needs to be replaced. Room 101 is very noisy with street traffic and smokers at the front door make the room smell bad when the window is open.

Lap Hong LAM Budget choice: 4 April 2011; 5.4; + Near to Amsterdam CS; - the washroom is beyond expected

Boris If you are near Leidesplein, you are near everything.: 13 March 2011; 8.6; + Location and staff are excellent.; - Floor was a little bit weared down.

paul parker Liked this hotel good value for money: 9 November 2010; 9.0; + Great location, enjoyed the coffee machine in the foyer and the free web

Egon Jorgensen Average: 17 May 2010; 5.8; + the carlodge; - the breakfast. Not very good. At least it should be included the price for staying.

Anonymous Value for Money: 19 January 2010; 7.0; + Excellent location. Though it is on the main road, i don't hear much of the traffic from my room. Clean. Value for money.; - Single room is quite small. Breakfast is too expensive.

Mairead Great location, quiet and comfortable room, friendly staff: 16 September 2009; 9.6; + Fantastic location, really quiet room, friendly staff; - none

Roland Preston Perfect weekend away: 4 August 2009; 10; + since it is located very near to leidseplein, this make it close to everything; - none

Richard Freeman Great place but with a sting in the tail: 6 July 2009; 8.4; + Friendly staff, proximity to attractions, comfortable rooms; - Expensive breakfast, poor quality breakfast, no signage and communication about breakfast prices, no air con so had to have windows open onto very busy street.

Yiannakis Christophides I WOULD USE IT AGAIN: 3 May 2009; 8.2; + Very good breakfast. Excellent location.; - Smallroom. The entrance to the hotel should be difficult for old people or those with some incapacity.

Alan Enjoyable stay: 15 April 2009; 9.2; + Hamlet was a delightful and attentive hotel employee. His suggestions were very helpful toward a very pleasant stay in Amsterdam.

Farmer Stay at this hotel: 29 March 2009; 7.0; + Very close to the Leidesplein; - There weren't any chairs in the garden

Renee Joyce Excellent hotel - great location, clean modern rooms: 28 October 2008; 8.2; + I have stayed in many hotels in Amsterdam and dread the moment I open my hotel door for the first time because I've had so many bad experiences. But the Eden was a pleasant surprise. The room was a good size for an inner city Amsterdam hotel, the furbishings were modern and newish, the bathroom was functional and clean and there was a lift. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. This is now my regular hotel everytime I visit Amsterdam.; - There is no airco in the rooms and since the hotel is situated on a busy road I can imagine in the summer time it could be quite noisy to sleep with the window open. The walls are quite thin (but this is also normal for Amsterdam) so you could hear a lot of what your neighbours are up to.

Dewaet Eden no but also not hell: 19 October 2008; 5.4; + location; - small room-carpet very dirty-breakfast under level

Brian Dependable medium hotel: 14 October 2008; 8.4; + Room kept extremely clean. Free internet in lounge helps (was travelling for business). Laundry service is prompt.; - A bit off the subway lines, but it is near the tram lines.

Yu Wai Lee: 14 October 2008; 7.0; + Location is good that you can easily find the place to eat and drink with 5 minutes walk; - The toilet is not clean enough.

a traveller from Malaysia: 20 July 2008; 8.8; + Value for money.

Niels Westphall: 13 July 2008; 9.2; + Very friendly staff !

Ove Jensen: 13 July 2008; 8.2; + Fine and kind service; - a small room

Anonymous: 25 June 2008; 7.6; + The hotel location was very good - the rooms were clean and tidy.; - The bar service was terrible The rooms were too small The lift was too small and the stairs too steep. The cleaner came into my room without knocking whilst I was sleeping!

Anu Koivusaari: 20 June 2008; 5.0; + Location, TV, Internet, part of the staff was good.; - I booked an advanced room, I don't think the room was as good as it should have been. The room was standard level. Price was quite high because of that. The first room you gave me was awful (small like a box). The second room was bit better. The intern (girl) at the desk was not that good... Really slow and didn't know anything. You should have more staff. Now the same person who was at the desk was also at the bar. So it sometimes took some time to get service...

Anonymous: 22 April 2008; 7.2; + Clean and comfortable. Good views over canal; - Room rather small.Having booked two double rooms at the same time well in advance, we were disappointed not to at least be on the same floor

HitcH: 7 April 2008; 9.6; + Excellent location, just cross the road and walk up the main road and you can get to everything in Amsterdam! Booked 2 rooms but 1 party cancelled, didnt think wed get the money back but did. Bed was the most comfortable thing ive slept in, get room 209 if you can, at front of building and only one with blacony. Rooms are a little on the smaller side, but you didnt travel all this way to stay in!!!; - Some reviews nearly put me off staying here but im glad i ignored them. The rooms arent as small as people make them out to be. The bed is extremely comfy but does seem to store your body heat and warm you up, could possibly get annoying in summer if you dont open a window

Richard: 19 March 2008; 7.6; + Good standard, clean, comfortable, good value, recommended stay; - No tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms

kendall: 3 March 2008; 5.8; + Dead easy to find from the motorway and in a really convenient location to casino,transport and nightlife, all of which are in easy walking distance.Staff very good and talk to Clifford for what to do,where to go and advice on local specialities.; - Do not expect a large bedroom.2 of us struggled with placing our luggage in it.The bathroom is small too and expect a wet shower curtain stuck to your bum in the small shower.Better deals can be had as this was pricey for the quality.Also drinks in the bar are well over priced and the bar round the corner is cheaper and more fun

Jim: 2 March 2008; 8.8; + This well maintained hotel with friendly staff is not in a charming location but it's convenient with a short walk to Leidse Plein.; - Parking garage costs too much at €32/night especially since its also inconvenient with manually open/close of outside door in rainy weather across the street and around the corner from the hotel. Double parking system means possibility of a long wait while the blocking car is moved after going back to report problem to hotel personnel.

Allison: 2 March 2008; 8.4; + We really liked the location of the hotel. The other positive things included use of internet, bar, and breakfast. There were days when we would not get room service but were clean towels hanging on the door for us. That was a nice suprise!; - The only negative thing that I have to say about this hotel is that they gave our room key to someone else in the party who we had only met 3 days prior. Luckily, nothing was taken, but we were very upset to hear about it.

Bill: 24 February 2008; 8.4; + Great location, Free internet was good. The staff were efficient helpful when asked and non intrusive. We were expecting less.; - room was a bit small but there is so much to do in Amsterdam and other seating areas available in other parts of the hotel the twin beds were challenging at times but comfortable

Gerri & Steve 17.02. 08: 24 February 2008; 5.0; + Situated in the heart of Amsterdam Secure parking for 32.50 euro a day Helpful staff; - Steep steps to foyer Room not available till 15.00 very small lift two single beds not a double as requested breakfast adequate in unattractive basement area

Jessica Binks: 17 February 2008; 9.2; + the receptionist were extremley helpful and polite by giving us directions and places of interest to visit.; - When arriving in Amsterdam central station the otel does not appear on any of the information points, so when i arrived in amsterdam i had to ring the hotel for directions therefore costing me money i didn't need to spend.

Noel Juan: 10 February 2008; 5.6; + The location of the hotel.; - I could show my reservacion otherwise they charged me double for this room. Bed was very unconfortable, to small room for a double room. Bad service that there wasnÂ´t any roomservice after eight o clock.

Margaret Hines and Ulrik Hjorth-Andersen: 4 February 2008; 6.4; + The service was very fine.; - The room was very small.

jason kelly: 30 January 2008; 9.4; + De vriendelijk van uw personeel was uitstekkend. De kamer hele leuk.; - Als een roker, zou ik minjne nacht in Eden beter hebben vinden, als had u tenminste een paar kamers waarin rokin niet verboden was. Elke keer dat wilde ik een sigarette moeste ik buiten te kamer gaan! De enige andere klaag is over de gordijnen in the kamer. Kamer 11 stood direct op straat zonder ieder onder gordijnen - dus moeste ik de hoogst gordijnen dichtgedaan laten toen dood ik iets als uit van de douche te stappen, verkleden, enzovoort.

Anonymous: 29 January 2008; 9.2; + Excellent professional staff. Free Internet is nice touch. Room was small but tastefully done, and clean.; - Only drawback was bedding did not look as fresh as can be and had a few head hairs on the white under sheets

Kreso: 27 January 2008; 4.2; + It is near the centre of the town. Excellent location.; - The room is not clean enough I mean floor is not clean! It is not the problem of the people who clean It is the problem of the owners. Instead of "tepsion" you have to put laminate on the floor.

Lokman: 13 January 2008; 7.2; + Nice staff, rooms very tidy.; - The bed was uncomfortable, the room was very small, even for a single bedroom. Noisy. Breakfast was a bit dissappointing. Very bad coffee!!

Linda McGee: 7 January 2008; 7.0; + The Staff made us feel very welcome at all times and were very helpfull with our queries.; - Our room was very, very small. the smallest room we have ever stayed in, in a hotel! We had seen a couple of the other rooms and our's seemed to have been the smallest-this would have been classed as a single room in Ireland, and many other countries

Brij Lal Gupta: 23 December 2007; 6.0; + Location is very close to shopping area and tourist spots and public trasport is availalbe next door only; - The room is too small for the price charged. There was no place to move in the room and keep the luggage. It would be better if a picture of the room interior is displayed on line so that the customer can know the size of the room. Secondly the mattress was very uncomfortable to sleep since it was spring loaded and caused me back pain. That is why I had to shift to another hotel after cutting short my stay in this hotel.

Jessica Parker: 12 December 2007; 10; + Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and modern interior. Free internet in lobby.

Edmun Ellington: 18 November 2007; 8.2; + Great location, Friendly staff.; - None

Anonymous: 8 November 2007; 8.4; + I requested a room not too high up as and they gave me the room on the bottom floor. The rooms were very comfortable and very warm! Overall a cosy hotel!; - Breakfast was very expensive! Bar and food menu also very expensive, when I ordered a toastie, it took ages, slow service here. Not that far from central station, if you like to walk its a great location, but it's not that hard to get to, just hop on a 1, 2 or 5 tram from Central Station!

sandra: 4 November 2007; 4.8; + good localitation. The staff at the reception were very good.; - I paid for one doubleroom with doublebed.The room was very very small, and the bathroom needs updating.The hotel is not good if you are going to stay more than one day.

Gabriella: 22 October 2007; 5.4; + parking, location; - The double rooms are very small. We have booked 3 double rooms at the same price, but one of this vas smaller than the others and the hotel didn't want to change it.

Mr Dale Clarke: 15 October 2007; 7.4; + Good location 2 mins from Leidesplein Square with lots of bars and restaurants.

Richard: 25 September 2007; 6.8; + Friendly staff.; - Expensive breakfast.Late check in time.

Ms Sarah Hackney: 9 September 2007; 7.6; + the rooms were very modern, it was in a good postition, and the service was very good; - the rooms were a bit on the small side, but nice..

Patrick Hemingway: 3 September 2007; 9.0; + Good location, comfortable bed, Internet a bonus.; - Expensive (more than other Amsterdam hotels) drinks and snacks in vending machines.

Miss Claire E Morris: 19 August 2007; 8.2; + Ideal location with most sites within easy walking distance. Although the rooms are small they are ideal for a short break. Rooms are clean with the option to have towels changed daily.; - Breakfast was a bit too pricey, we never had breakfast in the hotel, cheaper to eat elsewhere.
