Anonymous Nice accomodation, reasonably priced in the center of the city.: 16 January 2012; 8.0; + The apartment is nice, no noise in the bedroom; - There is no coffeemachine and no water cooker, so I could not prepare hot coffee or instant coffee

Anonymous Charming in some ways , but not comfortable with smoke, and noise.: 6 January 2012; 6.6; + Location; - Heavy pot smoking in environment of hotel. NOISE from nearby streets!! Single room horribly small and bath was clean but so small it was impossible to wash face or hands or shower without getting floor all wet!

Anonymous Nice for the price: 15 November 2011; 8.4; + Good location, nice staff and good breakfast. The rooms are nice and big with a bathtub :)

James B Grover Good value: Top location.: 4 August 2011; 9.2; + Very helpful staff. Very close to central train station.

Anonymous Happy to return to the Prins Hendrik Hotel: 16 July 2011; 8.4; + Hotel is very well situated in AMSTERDAM; - maintenance of the rooms needs more regular scrutini as some lights did not work and the hot water tap was a problem

Anonymous Apartments are great!: 14 July 2011; 6.6; + My husband has insulin that needed to be refrigerated and they were accommodating providing an apartment instead of a room. It was great having the living area along the busy street and the bedroom downstairs int eh quieter garden area of the apartment building. The breakfast was nice as well. I would recommend the apartment. The bartender was exceptional in the bar.

Anonymous a sensible place to stay in amsterdam: 24 June 2011; 7.0; + a nice clean hotel near train station

Koray, Ismail, Ishak, Caglar OZCELIK, MUGLA, COSKUN, COSKUN Near to popular zones in central Amsterdam...: 20 June 2011; 5.8; + Near to popular points.; - Lift is not good working, brekfast is not have enough choices for example not meat execpt porg only a kind chicken ...

Anonymous Convenient and Comfy: 31 May 2011; 8.6; + Central location is very convenient. Our room was very clean and comfy. Bathroom was spotless and all in good working condition. Front desk staff was helpful and breakfast was very good. Front desk is covered 24/7 for safety and convenience.; - Rooms facing the street are noisy. This older property is well maintained and has all the charm and the inconveniences of an older hotel. Personally, I find this a plus but my husband had some problems with stairs and close quarters.

Jouko Kuisma Good location next to railway station for quick visits: 5 April 2011; 7.8; + We received a suite in an annex for same price, having asked for the most quiet room. That was really quiet, and plenty of space.; - The sofa in the living room was really crazy, it was not meant for sitting but rather lying in a 45 grade angle.

Graeme Faithorn Hotel Prins Hendrik, Amsterdam good but a touch pricey!: 26 March 2011; 6.6; + Good central location, excellent for the train station. Very clean, and well maintained.; - A kettle in the room with complimentary tea/coffee would be a nice touch.

HILARY KRUGER Great Hotel, close to transport and city centre.: 22 March 2011; 10; + Close to central station and old city, but the hotel is so quiet. Good breakfast.

PR I would look elsewhere next time.: 14 March 2011; 4.4; + Location is fantastic. Near central station and the heart of Ams; - Got a loft room. Looked absolutely nothing like the photos on the website. Cramped, small beds, average shower. Although the room was clean, the reception smelt like a sewer. I would look elsewhere again.

Adele Edge Relaxing and fun!: 1 March 2011; 9.4; + Just across from the train station, so it's easy to get to with luggage and close to the Red Light District and the Damrak. I have stayed in this hotel about 4 times now and it never disappoints. We had a lovely stay in one of their top floory rooms, it was very cosy and we felt like we had our own apartment. A very good variety at breakfast.

Christopher McCormack Excellant locationfriendly staff. everyone speakes English: 23 February 2011; 8.0; + excellant location.near to central station, nice bars etc. .; - pity the hotel bar was closed for renovation.

Jeffrey Good solid pick for a base to explore Old Amsterdam: 10 February 2011; 8.2; + Helpful peron at check in, good size room with wiht view, clean, great location

Kristin Hatch Great place to stay-close to train station: 2 February 2011; 9.0; + Wonderful hotel, close to main train station in Amsterdam. Rooms were good size, hot shower and generally nice and warm for Amsterdam in January. Breakfast was esp. good. Don't forget to try a slice of gingerbread!; - A bit noisy from the street on a few nights, but hey you are in the heart of Amsterdam, right?

Anonymous Spacious room , situated in the heart of Amsterdam's town: 25 January 2011; 9.6; + Very nice spacious apartment offered.

Anonymous Very good location.: 23 January 2011; 7.0; + Location is excellent , friendly personel, it is safe and fine even so close to red light district. Very good if you have to take a train at central station for an early flight and you would like to take a nice walk in the evening in the historical Amsterdam. Lift is also available.; - I would recommend them to exchange windows (to reduce voices from the street) and to reduce heating.

Cornelis Beerepoot Excellent for short stay: 20 January 2011; 7.8; + clean and quiet, near to city centre and Main train station.; - switches for light

IRMINA WANDA KANIS A rather well-located friendly place: 4 January 2011; 7.8; + Competent, friendly, flexible, relaxed, helpful staff. Pleasantly warm in winter.; - I.Only 1 room key for 2 persons means that if one person leaves with the key (in order to get back in), the other person who remains must sit in the dark (although staff always stands ready to open if one has no key, it is a bit awkward).. II. Big flood on the floor after taking a shower because shower water goes through the shower curtain.

Veera Amsterdam: 27 December 2010; 7.8; + Helpful staff, nice break fast, near to the central station.; - Stair case is narrow and steep.

Luis Reis Good location: 4 December 2010; 6.8; + Location Good value for money; - Rooms are old fashioned and the mattress on the beds are too soft. No hairdryer Noise smell of smoke on the corridoors

Bethan Waite Great location, great breakfast, friendly staff.: 29 November 2010; 9.0; + Easy walk from central station, very close to bars and restaurants, friendly staff, clean, baggage storage for late flights, delicious breakfast.; - You ask for a double bed and get a twin - even if booked 3 months in advance

Douglas Tizzard Mr: 12 October 2010; 10; + excellent location; - a bit noisy from the street

Amir Tajdar Very suitable and good deal hotel close to heart of Amsterdam.: 7 August 2010; 9.2; + Close to central station. Close to Center of Amsterdam. Close to shopping areas. Safe area. Hotel employers hospitality and kindness.; - Lots of noise in the room.

Anonymous Overpriced... but close to the action: 31 July 2010; 4.8; + close to station. breakfast thats included is good. The cleaners left our bong untouched :); - wifi isnt included in the price...and its a very expensive price. other hotels that dont charge has as much give wifi free. the guy at the front door sarcastic and somewhat rude.. and this is not very welcoming.

Andreas Schirm Well located hotel with a good price: 28 June 2010; 7.8; + perfect located Hotel with a normal standard; - More youth hotel stil then 3 star hotel

KEN Nice hotel: 25 June 2010; 10; + superb breakfast included in price

Robert Levinson Best location and cheap price for a basic hotel: 10 June 2010; 8.0; + Very friendly and helpful staff, perfect location, decent breakfast; - Cheap fixtures, some minor breakdowns, pretty basic accoutrements.

Anonymous Central and clean hotel: 24 May 2010; 8.8; + - good location - clean - good services; - - bathroom mirror is placed too high - there is no shower tray and water has spread all over the bathroom; because there is no slippers, sandstone is wet and cold - No mirror in room

Gwen Koning Budget hotel close to red-light district: 9 May 2010; 3.8; + Close to Amsterdam central station & red-light district. Includes breakfast buffet. Spacious apartment (triple room).; - One key-card issed per room. Small & steep staircase - difficult to manage large suitcases. Noisy. Bad smell in the foyer/kitchen-entrance in the afternoon. Smoking is allowed in the rooms. Racist man working at the reception desk.

Andreas Hartmann Chet baker room -: 29 March 2010; 8.6; + nice, friendly staff, good breakfast, great location

Anonymous Not as good as previously: 9 December 2009; 8.0; + 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.

Jackson Very good location and breakfast.: 6 December 2009; 6.8; + Near to Central Station Room Wifi reasonably priced Great breakfast included Friendly staff; - Room smells smoky Bed cover a bit too old

Vincenzo Conveniently located: 30 November 2009; 7.6; + The full breakfast included in the price.; - Some of the hotel facilities should be improved, f.i. the lack of an hair dryer

TamRa Good location, bad value for money.: 14 November 2009; 4.4; + 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.

Anonymous Bad value: 14 October 2009; 4.2; + 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

M. F. Gifford Great included breakfast starts the day off right.: 31 August 2009; 6.8; + 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.

HOOI KHA CHOI MANAGER: 19 August 2009; 4.6; + 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.

Anonymous It\'s ok if don\'t get a place in nearby good hotel due to it\'s locat: 17 August 2009; 5.8; + good location; - not cooperative on booking. eventhoug i informed them 24 hours ago that i'll check out but still they charged me for whole one day which i didn't stayed at hotel. it sucks!

Martin Convenient, clean but a little noisy...: 3 August 2009; 6.0; + 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)

Fredrik Lundberg Best location + perfect breakfast: 27 July 2009; 9.2; + Location Very Friendly staff Big room for the 4 of us The breakfast was amazing; - To access the Quad rooms the stairs was tricky to get up especially with luggage but you will get used to it. The WiFi signal was weak but it worked sometimes

Edward Feehan Good location but smelly old fashioned place: 22 July 2009; 3.8; + Location; - Old, Not comfortable, Bad check in service, rubbish breakfast, smelly place

Steve Poor quality lodgings: 17 July 2009; 3.6; + 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.

Roland Ardai Familiar hotel at Central Station: 15 July 2009; 7.6; + Friendly staff.; - Lift problems.

Reijo Pesonen Fabulous week-end in Amsterdam: 14 July 2009; 9.2; + Nice staff, good breakfast, excellent location, spacious room (4 persons); - Angle of stairs (too sharp rise)

Anonymous Review: 13 July 2009; 8.2; + good location nice rooms; - wifi did not work
