Not as good as previously

In general good. I have stayed there before several times.

The bathroom fixtures were in poor condition. Sink did not drain well. Toilet did not flush well.

Some of the hotel facilities should be improved, f.i. the lack of an hair dryer

Good location, bad value for money.

The hotel has lift, which is rare in Amsterdam. It's in a very good location - opposite the station, and only a couple minutes walk to the very lively Red Light District. Despite this, it wasn't overly noisy. The night staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception staff are on 24 hours a day, which is good security-wise. I was also very happy with the service I got with Hotel.nl when booking this hotel. I shall definitely use Hotels.nl when I next visit Holland - many thanks!

The day staff (specifically an older gent) weren't very helpful, nor welcoming - we only got half the info needed upon checking in, and a stern warning not to smoke 'marijuana or hash in the room as there is an alarm, but cigarettes are ok'. I booked this hotel as there is an elevator and I am partially disabled, but despite the lift, there were stairs scattered throughout, and it wasn't very disabled-friendly everywhere (to get to the dining room would be a bit difficult in a wheelchair, for example). There was no safe in room. There was no hotel info in room. Nor was there any tea/coffee making facilities in room. It was very expensive for the standard of quality of hotel and service - a better hotel could easily be found for the same price. I will not be staying at the Hotel Prins Hendrik next time I visit Amsterdam.

bad value

It really is very close to central station which is convienient for late arrivals and early departures.

This hotel is under no curcumstances worth 90€ per night. I travel alot for bussiness reasons and I have never had such bad value for money. The room smelled awful. There were long black hairs in the bathtub as well as in the bedsheets. The sonoric insulation was awful. The person in the room above may as well have been sharing my room in terms of the noise pollution. There is a strange ladder like set of stairs right when you come into the room which is very unhandy when entering and leaving the room with a suitcase. The hotel gave an overall 'seedy' impression

Great included breakfast starts the day off right.

The breakfast was excellent with so many choices. WiFi is available at no extra cost. Adapter plug was provided by asking at the front desk. Central location is an easy walk from the train that comes from Schiphol Airport.

Rooms are available at 1 p.m. so there were several hours between airport arrival and being able to get some sleep after a 10 hour flight. Some of my cosmetics disappeared so keep things put away and not easy.

MANAGER

The only plus point is the breakfast area which is acceptable. The other good point is just the location which is very convenient. This hotel can be upgraded if all the room furnitures are replaced by new ones especially the bed.

The whole interior needs to be brightened up abit. All the furnitures inside the room are old. The bed is not comfortable and bed cover looks ugly and damaged by several cigarette butts.

Convenient, clean but a little noisy...

Very clean bed linen Good continental breakfast The front desk guy was friendly and helpful

1. I had a room overlooking the lane at the back. The windows/curtains don't block out all the light/noise 2. The room door doesn't have a bolt lock - (although there were certainly no security problems during my stay)

Poor quality lodgings

centrally located offering easy access to manty tourist attractions.

No double glazing or air conditioning. Incredible noise levels from the non stop Amsterdam streets meant sleeping was almost impossible. Taxis below bedroom windows leaving engines running all night. Bathroom had cracked tiles and was dirty grout. Room looked as though it hadnt been decorated for years. Opening a window required two people. one to lift the heavy frame and the other to place a metal pole under it to hold it open. Stairs are very steep and a death trap for the elderly or very young. Overall, I would say this is hotel would be ideal for someone who didnt intend to spend much time in the room. if you like your sleep, get a modern hotel with double glazing. The lack of air con makes it a very unconfortable night when it is warm.

if you do not want sleep at night, this hotel is right for you!

near to railway-station and several sihgtseeings. Easy to find. Quite cozy, it was possible to leave suitcase in room before the room was available (cleaned). Thee was somebody in reception 24 h.

very, very loud. It was actually possible to sleep in the night only from about 4-6 o clock, when it was a little bit more quiet outside. The hotel needs double windows. I would not stay in this hotel any more, because the aim of staying in the hotel is for me the possibility to sleep, not only lie in bed and listen to trams and shouting outside.

Disappointing stay in a wonderful city

Near the station which was why we booked it but the location of the apartment was very poor as it was impossible to sleep.

We were offered an apartment instead of a room, but accepting this was a bad error. It was VERY VERY noisy, so we could not sleep; it had NOWHERE to hang clothes, towels or anything. No bedside table. We had to live out of a suitcase in the living room as there was no room to put it in the bedroom and drape our wet towels over the chairs. The breakfast was VERY poor on 2 of the 3 days. There was virtually nothing left.People were wandering around bemused trying to find something. One couple walked in from the street to have breakfast, looked at what little was on offer and walked out again. The stay was very poor value for money. We would not stay there again and would recommend people NOT to go there.

That small hotel near the station is a very good choise for anybody. Clean ,cosy, good breakfast, polite staff.

In my oppinion was overpriced but it might be due to special period on 30 of April.

Centrally located, this is a reasonable but very basic choice

The location is very central and my room was surprisingly quiet for the location.

The room seems old and dingy (especially the carpet), although it was cleaned everyday. The bathroom has no place to hang a towel and is flooded when you take a shower. Especially the breakfast area I found very unwelcoming and basic. Dark, with terrible music, I got the impression of things just thrown together. All in all, I think the hotel is too expensive for what it offers.

Spot on for us

We had a great stay and would use this hotel again... our every need was met. When we arrived we found that the toilet would not flush. Went down and mentioned it to the receptionist. Within 30 minutes a repair man was up to our room and had it fixed. Thank you once again!

Not a minus for us but people may want to remember that this is a hotel right in the heart of the city - so it can be loud at all hours.

OK, but too expensive.

1. Excellent location - central, near all transport facilities. 2. A big choice of food at breakfast. 3. Pleasant staff - spoke good English. They responded well to requests.

Far too expensive. In an English B & B (Bed and Breakfast) I could get most of what I got at the Prinz Hendrik for half the price (depending a little on the exchange rate). The PH includes a bar and a restaurant but I wouldn't pay a lot just to have these on the premises. Also, although the spread at breakfast was good, there's only a limited amount to what you can eat, and I would not pay much extra for more than my usual requirements.

Who is giving in Holland the stars for these hotels? It's like a joke.

Location is very good and the staff were friendly.Breakfast buffet not bad but the whole place is decaying.

Where to start? Room strange,no shower basin,water flows to whole bathroom floor.Bathroom door actually rotten on lower portion. No decoration of room at all.Be sure to visually examine your breakfast cutlery-many still had food rests on them.I think that's enough as writing these also makes you remember.Not everthing is connected with money.You should have in first place respect to peaple and the will to do things properly.

Great Location but expensive compared to others!

Location is great. Hotel had a place to keep bags before check-in and after check-out. They allowed us to check-in at 10AM! Breakfast was continental but more than enough. Bathroom was very clean and modern.

Room was freezing at night due to large crack in the window (and it being winter!) and we had no control over the raiator in our room. We had two single beds pushed together to make a double which wasn't very comfortable.

Sadly a faded and rather tatty offering

The staff were friendly but hampered by a rigid policy when we alerted them to our problem.

Unlike the pictures on the internet and in the foyer, the room was very faded and basic shockingly below the standard for 150 euros - we got a cheaper deal at the five star round the corner and therefore checked out immediately.
