Reviews

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

Anonymous Good small hotel in convenient location: 2 October 2011; 8.8; + All staff very friendly and always willing to help. Single room was quite small but very clean. Pleasant breakfast area with decent food selection.; - Some guests were very noisy till 3am but that can happen anywhere and was not the hotel's fault. Luggage can be left at reception but it is not stored properly and is just left in the foyer which is not very secure.

Anonymous The owner is very nice; Arnold is as well, and I'd stay there again.: 6 September 2011; 8.0; + Friendliness. Helpful. real close to humdrum but not humdrum itself. nice restful contrast to the nearby Leidsplein, etc. right on the park, too. Lobby and eating area are very clean.; - Must be ultra-quiet inside the hotel. My room was somewhat dusty when I arrived. Not a real big deal, but the desk-fan blades were quite dirty, so I took it apart and cleaned it.

Anonymous Nice hotel: 30 August 2011; 9.0; + Our staying in the Hotel Hestia was very nice! Friendful personal, very good location, pleasant breakfast and elegance of interior. We were very satisfied!

God location, quit but still in walking distance to city center, to a big park and grosery shopping etc. God breakfast. We would stay there again!! Room nr 15 is big and has a large balkon towards the garden side. We stayed there with a baby and the let us use the kitchen for babyfood etc at all times of the day, let us take the babypram up in the room etc., only asking if they could help more.; - Small lift and narrow stairs -but thats the way it is in Amsterdam, and part of the charm :-) The bathtub is a bit used, but you can just use the shower, with was good.(In general we think the price vs. quality is high in Amsterdam) No minus points from us.
