Anonymous Friendly, good location fair priced: 13 December 2011; 10; + highly recommend close to leidesplein area

Anonymous Never again: 22 November 2011; 5.2; + close to museum plein; - 4th floor is difficult to reach through the small staircase with bigger suitcases, we had amouse in the room, croissants at breakfast were rock hard, just like the mattresses, no ventilation in the bathroom so that firealarm went off when the steam of the bathroom came out, shower was either ice cold or boiling hot close to impossible to find a temperature in between.

Mika Excellent location: 17 May 2011; 8.2; + Excellent location.

Boaz Nice hotel in a great location.: 25 April 2011; 8.0; + Clean and nice rooms. Friendly reception. Excellent breakfast buffet. Good location next to the park.; - A nice and basic hotel, but price is high to what it offers IMHO.

Tihomir: 18 February 2011; 8.0; + The room was fine and the bathroom was well cleaned. I'm sure that in the future I will visit the hotel again

Anonymous Great cultural and nightlife access: 22 January 2011; 5.2; + Location fantastic. Acceptable comfort and decent breakfast.; - Front desk almost never picked up the phone. Frustrating.

Igors Oleinikovs: 4 January 2011; 4.2; + good location, near to city center and possible to walk there in 20 minutes; - very small rooms and bathroom, uncomfortable beds, no parking in the hotel, but possible to park in street near for 4eur/hour... We ordered room for 4 persons, actually it was small room for 3 persons with additional bed, as result all space in the room were consisting of beds...

Doug and Kathy Ideal place to walk from and see all of Amsterdam.: 16 October 2010; 9.8; + We were allowed to check in early, were upgraded! Staff great. room nice size, great view, very clean rooms. Breakfast more than we dreamed. Great location for walking tours. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.; - None. Met and exceeded our expectations!

eili Lawlor Mrs: 2 September 2010; 4.8; + very good location nice breakfast green view; - mold in the bathroom sealing very small bathroom not child friendly ( steps in the hall/main entrance; room windows dangerous;no bath;no phones in the hallways) rooms interior worn,old,not looked after) breakfast room not everything what promised on the website

John vander Beek: 22 March 2010; 4.8; + Good location; - We had water dripping into our showere from the one above and then had a mouse invade our room. The only compensation for these was two snickers bars! What a deal

Nataly Lowder Great location, decent price, clean room, uncomfortable beds.: 11 January 2010; 7.0; + The location of this hotel is fabulous in relation to the Museumplein and Leidseplein.; - The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The beds were the only downfall, everything else was wonderful.

BP Should consider, not the first choice though: 9 January 2010; 7.2; + Good location if you prefer to be closer to the Vondel Park rather than the Red Light Dist. Stayed in small double room. We were a couple travelling light, so there was no big deal room area wise, which is common in previous remarks. Vey close to the museums.; - THE HOTEL DOOR DID NOT OPEN, which as usual is autosliding. People inside could not get out either. After 5 long minutes of waiting on the street with 6-8 other stayers the hotel receptionist showed up with a grin on his face and "voila" sliding doors open by means of pushing a secret button under the counter. The rest is fine with the hotel.

Laurence Bog standard but good location: 3 November 2009; 3.8; + Location good. Close to trams and lovely Vondel park.; - Bog standard, a bit tatty, room my wife and I we were in on 1st floor miniscule, less than standard width uncomfortable beds, no reception area for sitting/relaxing, breakfast very ordinary

Tobias Cheap and nice hotel: 30 October 2009; 8.6; + Cheap. Near tram. Near Vondelpark and V. Gogh-, Rijksmuseums.

Luis Bonne adresse: 23 October 2009; 7.2; + Super localisation Hotel correct et service agréable, demande de changement de chambre sans problème. Calme, dans une impasse qui donne sur le VondelPark; - Rien a redire, a 75 euros la nuit avec petit déjeuner c'est une très bonne adresse

Birger Moshe Better look for another option: 7 October 2009; 4.6; + The breakfeast; - expensive, lousy matrasses The add in the net is incorrect, since it mentions free parking in the nearby streets - I wouldnÂ´ refer to 4 Euros per hour as free parking

Geraint Harker Very reasonable and conveniently located.: 9 September 2009; 8.0; + Good-sized, comfortable, clean room; welcoming staff; decent breakfast.; - Slight smell of smoke in the room; no extractor fan in the bathroom. Lift only went to the third floor and our room was on the fourth, which was fine for me but may not be for everyone.

Gemma Get the Hot Deal- Very Good Value For Money!!: 4 August 2009; 8.2; + The staff were very helpful- rooms were nice and very comfy beds! We got the hot deal offer and it was very good value for money.

Therese A nice hotel: 30 July 2009; 8.6; + very nice staff, and our room had everything we needed for our stay. the hotel is in a quiet area, close to museums and supermarket. there are not many bars or restaurants very close but they are within 15 minutes walk.; - we had a room in the basement and heard rats in our ceiling. one day we got a dirty towel with toothpaste on.

The beds were very comfortable and it was in a quite area, so no street noise.; - The shower was dirty and grimy. It was in the middle of the Museum area, however, it was about a 20 minute walk from the city centre.

Matthias: 14 July 2009; 7.6; + Good location, tasty breakfast; - the small double room is too small for two traveling bags.

de jonge Great place to stay would go again: 13 July 2009; 9.8; + Excellently placed we saw more once we found the tram route; - Midgets shouldn't design bathrooms!!!!!! Get the people who work there to catch the trams so they can tell people the best way to get around.

Fengchun Lin Nice price and location: 12 July 2009; 9.6; + very near Vondel Park, locacted in Museum district, in a quiet street; - reserved a single room, but got a 3-bed room underground. I think the hotel should hold a single room for me. I prefer a room overground because I'm allergic to mold.

Maciej Zakrzewski Good value hotel: 11 July 2009; 9.0; + Good location. OK breakfast.; - Wall-to-wall fitted carpets feels a bit out of date. Especially for people like me, who suffer from allergies.

Richard Hatton No window. No air-con. No fan.: 15 June 2009; 5.2; + The hotel was private, quiet, and in a nice location. The rooms were spotless, and I had no bad experiences with staff.; - In the room I stayed in, there was no window, which isn't the end of the world, but the air conditioning, and extractor fan didn't work. This turned the room into a sweat box, and the guy behind the counter really didn't care. Bit of a joke, considering air-con was advertised on the website

Ralph Jenner City Garden Hotel is Wonderful!: 2 May 2009; 9.8; + The City Garden is now "My Hotel in Amsterdam" I cannot recommend it highly enough. The bed was superbly comfortable, the room (superior room) was quiet & held everything that we needed, the safe was comforting and easy to use, the staff friendly and helpful, there was a machine in the lobby full of beer and snacks. Breakfast was ample & varied, & of high quality. The location is great, near liedsplien, and the Art museums. Ten out of Ten. Have no doubts, stay there. I did a lot of checking on line before booking and chose this hotel on the customer reviews. Well worth the trouble. City Garden is a fine place to stay in a fine city.; - Bottled Water & crisps in the machine should be cheaper. (Big Deal!)
