9.4

+ The beds were very comfortable and very clean. The staff were very helpful and polite. The location is absolutely gorgeous and perfect as it is very central but far away enough to be a quiet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle 5 minutes down the pretty little streets. Also, it is a very modern looking hotel.

- Breakfast was nice but no cooked food apart from boiled eggs.

Stuart Bayley Good location but don't expect any luxury.

John Neate A well located, friendly and small "character" hotel

5 July 2010

8.4

+ A smaller hotel with local character and friendly, helpful and efficient staff. We were allocated an excellent second floor room at the front of the hotel overlooking the canal, and this "made" the holiday for us. The location close to Centraal station was also a big plus. We had a great stay.

+ Location

- There was construction going on from 8am every morning . It would be a great help if that was listed on the site at time of booking .. I dont think ill be using this site again due to lack of usefull info

8.4

+ A very warm and friendly initial greeting that extended right through the holiday. Excellent location within easy waliking distance from central station and other attractions of Amsterdam centre. Continental style buffet breakfast with good choice of food, eat as much as you like. Finally, our room overlooking the Singel canal provided bonus views of canal life both work and pleasure.

- Room was compact but comfortable, bathroom small and in need of some attention, we would see this being improved by the current refurbishment activity.

Ronald Yanko Great hotel close to Central Station

Judith Heintz Only a day in Amsterdam

14 June 2010

9.0

+ Great location, price, service and, especially on my arrival, the male desk clerk was quite helpful in making suggestions and answering my questions. A great welcome for an old lady traveling by herself for the first time in Amsterdam. Should I have a chance to go back SINGEL will be my first choice to stay.

- As an early to bed early to rise person, the first night I was there, other guests returned noisily--- not really late, but late for me. One group was about midnight, the other (or the same one coming and going) around one. This was quite disturbing.

John M. Excellent location but basic lodging

6 June 2010

7.8

+ The location is excellent; one can walk to everything in the historic city center. The room was well-maintained and clean.

- The room and services were quite basic ┠this is only a problem if one intends to spend a significant amount of time in the room, of course.

21 May 2010

9.6

+ Great location,close to central station very easy to find, good land mark next door, very good view from the delux double room through a large picture window looking at the Singel canal, the elevator proved invaluable. My wife broke a bone in her foot on the second night of a four night stay all the above eased the situation. The reception staff could not have been more helpful, they arrange a the hire of a wheel chair, organised a taxi for the airport, helped buying a ticket on the internet to the Van Gogh museum this aided access. We would like to take this opportunity tothank you to all the staff for their help understanding and friendliness to us.

+ Very friendly and helpful staff. In spite of negative comments below I wouldn't hesitate in staying there again.

- We stayed for one night on two separate occasions. The first twin room was rather small. Ok for one night but would not like to spend several nights in it. The second room was bigger but unfortunately had no view at all.

Sven Erik Thoresen Thanks for a very pleasant stay!

+ Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast.

- Free movies did not work - staff was unable to resolve, even though stay was for three nights. Room not cleaned after first night, but cleaned after second night. Bathroom awkward - had to step over toilet to get to shower, but expect quirkiness in older, renovated buildings. I have stayed in many hotels in Amsterdam. This one seemed slightly expensive for the quality of the accomodations.

Frank Hole Terrific for convenience, but room is sparsely furnished.

- Tulip bulbs that I was given did not go through American customs, unfortunately. You need to give certified ones.
