Reviews

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

Anonymous Another good stay in Amsterdam: 9 January 2012; 9.0; + I was in a newly remodeled room this time which was very nice, quiet and comfortable. The hotel is very convenient to both the train station and the sights; it's just around the corner from Dam Square and about a ten minute walk from the station which is at the end of the street.

Anonymous All except location: miserable: 23 October 2011; 4.6; + Only the location; - Size of room; water stains on ceiling; uncomfortable bed; shower open (no curtain etc); the elevator is catastrophically slow. Conclusion; never stay here again!

Anonymous Lone Traveller: 9 August 2011; 9.4; + This hotel is in the perfect location. The staff are friendly and the hotel was extremely accomodating when dealing with any queries I had prior to my arrival.

Trip: 18 June 2011; 9.0; + Exceptionally well located within easy walking distance of Central Satation (five blocks up Damrak), great bars and restaurants and the Red Light District, same quailty rooms as nearby hotels that are prcied much higher.; - The senior staff in the hotel restaurant were "haughty" (while the junior staff were exceptionally nice a pleasant).

James Hicks Would stay there again.: 27 May 2011; 9.4; + clean and comfortable; - shower needs some sort curtian, water splashes into bathroom toilet area.

Jan Kindem Very nice central stay but take your breakfast in the city: 28 March 2011; 7.4; + Nice rooms; - Very poor breakfast

Zlatko Hrbud Lovely four days in Holands: 20 March 2011; 9.0; + Location, price/quality; - Elevator

Kev (English but Dutch residant) I will use this hotel again...and again....and....: 9 February 2011; 7.8; + Smoking rooms........... More to be said?..... OK. The room was small but good, clean, well prepared etc. The booking was efficient and check-in was quick and easy, the check-out simalarly quick, easy and painless (even VERY early morning due to flight from Schipol); - The room was small but that's normal for hotels in Amsterdam. If you don't like small rooms go to the Marriot for 3 x the price.

Cathy Atkinson An enjoyable, comfortable stay in an amazing location.: 14 January 2011; 9.2; + Location - fantastic. I had a view of Damrak and Dam Square. very clean room and comfotable beds Access to printers was excellent Friendly and helpful staff.; - smallest bathroom I have ever been into. Shower water on the floor was a concern. Indicating that internet access was a chargable item was odd, especially when it did not incur a charge. Maybe this needs to be clarified for guests. Perhaps the charge is for those using hotel computers and not for wi-fi users

James D Conley Convenience in amsterdam: 29 November 2010; 8.8; + Location - right around the corne from Dam Square, directly across the street from the Bijenkorf department store and just up the street from Centraal Station. It's convenient for sightseeing in the city or for going out and exploring in the trains. The restaurant is also good and there are many other options within walking distance. The staff are efficient. I've stayed here many times and plan to again.; - Small, very slow elevator

Eamonn Cheerful, but not cheap: 15 November 2010; 5.6; + Location, clean.; - Price. Advertised as a 4 star hotel... 3 at most

pd Ok, but don't trust parking company: 20 September 2010; 8.4; + close to the city centre; - no parking, some company has been called by hotel stuff to pick-up my car, there were some sweets in one of the boxes in the car, all of them have been stolen !!!

Ted from NYC Solid Two-Star Hotel at Four-Star Prices: 8 September 2010; 6.0; + The location is very central. Rooms are basic but adequate. Nothing amazing, just your basic European city hotel.; - The hotel is too expensive. If the price were 40% less, it would be a good buy. And they really gouge you on the extras: 15 euros a day for Internet? In this day and age, wifi and Ethernet access is free in good hotels. Breakfast in the hotel is 29 euros--should be included. Fortunately there are decent breakfast options a few blocks away, but still.
