Hotel Parklane Amsterdam

Price/quality good

• + breakfast good, cleaning every day, nice neighbourhood,
• – lot of stairs (old house), size of room
• * my tip Zoo Artis, Hermitage museum and Hortus Botanicus nearby, take tramline 9 to the city centre

• + close to the centre
• * my tip The zoo is close by but very expensive

just what I needed

No real value for money

• + -friendly enough staff -good free internet connection
• – -unfortunately the value for money is just not there. I've been in Amsterdam a few times and I thought I was treating myself spending 100 quid a night for a single, but I ended up with little problems that hadn't actually occured to me in slightly cheaper places - i.e. curtains not closing properly, bed average at best, incomplete shower door leading to water all over the bathroom...nothing to go insane about, but little things that made me feel like I had paid a little too much.

Quiet hotel

• + Quiet hotel within walking distance of the centre, nice location opposite a park and near the metro as well as being only a few minute walk to the Zoo. I would stay there again.
• – If your elderly be aware the stairs are steep up to the room. It also is not a 4 star hotel so do not expect luxury and there is no air conditoning although you can open the window.

Very enjoyable stay

• + The staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is attractive with easy access to the tram service.

Great Affordable hotel for a weekend in Amsterdam

• + Nice quiet location, tram station around the corner. The staff is great willing to help and answer any need or question.
• – Not in the center, though 15 minutes walk from main sites

Comfortable and inexpensive, on the edge of the city center

• + I stayed in the least expensive room in the hotel and it was charming and comfortable. Good wireless Internet access. Very helpful staff. A short walk to everything I wanted to see, and convenient to trams/metro if I was in a hurry. Quiet, residential surroundings.

• + Nice staff, triple room was great, hotel was far enough outside the city center to be quiet but a 5min walk to anything interesting.
• – Price was a bit high.

• + cleaning of the room evry day with clean towels!
• – being very comfortable at the ground floor had the problem of listening to the preparations of the breakfast from 07h30-10!

Friendly staff & comfortable hotel

• + Staff were very friendly & the breakfast filling and delicious. Location nice and quiet but within easy walking distance to central station. Superb shower.
• – Can't think of any!

Nice and comfortable stay in Amsterdam

Nice and comfortable stay in Amsterdam

Good value, great location

• + Very quiet location, close to tram stop (tram 9 stop at Artis Zoo) helpful staff. Reach city center by tram in less than 10 minutes or can walk. Breakfast was ok nothing spectacular. Room was very spacious and comfortable. No problems would stay here again.
• – Typical Amsterdam stairs!

prachtig gelegen hotel met goede faciliteiten

• + mooie kamer met goede bedden. mooie douche-gelegenheid
• – andere gasten die 's nachts binnenwamen maakten zoveel en zolang lawaai dat we ruim een uur wakker zijn geweest. misschien goed om bij inchecken te zeggen dat ten alleen tijden binnengekomen kan worden maar na ca 10.00 uur alleen fluisterend en zacht met deuren e.d.

Highly recommend

• + Spent four nights here, beginning of October. The hotel is in a very quiet area, in Plantage. Two tram stations are right around the corner, an Albert Heijn grocery store maybe 5 minutes walk away, a small park is right across the street. Quiet, safe and clean. We arrived at the hotel at 7am, after an overnight flight from Canada. The person who handled out check-in was so nice and friendly! We left our baggages in the breakfast room, and went out for a few hours, while our room was being cleaned. We got the room earlier then the regular check-in time. Breakfast was always nice, mainly cold cuts, boiled eggs and bread, mustard, orange juice, tea, coffee, jam, peanut butter, nuttella. Enough of everything and very filling. The room was backing into an interior courtyard, so it was always very quiet. We had to catch an early flight to return home, and had the surprise to discover that at 6 in the morning the whole city is still sleeping. We waited the tram for about 20 minutes, and nothing else was moving. A car here and there, a few people on their bikes. This surprised us, being used to the crazy traffic in Toronto, starting at 5am. We were freaking out, thinking we'll miss our flight, when a car drove by, saw us, then stopped at the corner. The driver then proceeded to install the "Taxi" sign on the roof of the car, then turned around and picked us up! We made it to Centraal Station in no time, and it was all thanks to this good samaritan who later confessed he didn't have any intention of starting his shift so early, but changed his mind when he saw us in the middle of the street with our luggages. He figured we needed help! Wow. Overall, a great place! I would definitely, absolutely return to this hotel and will recommend it to all my friends.
• – One little thing - we didn't bring a hairdryer, and there wasn't one available in the room.

• + Friendly, good service, good breakfast choice, very clean, good location and quiet room.
• – I wanted a twin room and not a double room. I was travelling with my 15 years old son.

Very nice, quit, confortable and free

• – We have to call staff to ask anything. Breakfast time is too short.

Friendly and comfortable hotel with larger than average rooms

• + Good friendly service, lovely breakfast room and large clean and airy bedroom. A nice location (although a bit of a walk into town). Tea and coffe in room plus a fridge.
• – The bedroom carpet was a little shabby and the room decor could be improved generally.

worth its price

• + near tramstop. bubblebath. widescreen. minifridge. (trippleroom)
• – problems with deposition. no ventilation.

Pleasant quiet hotel in a nice neighborhood

• + Very friendly, helpful staff, in a nice location away from the crush of the city center, but convenient walking distance to all attractions.

We were satisfied with stay at Parklane Hotel

• + nice and friendly atmosphere. quiet and easy to reach location
• – the stairs.... :-)
