    Close to places of interest to me

    Modernization has resulted in a reduction in previous features such as a smaller breakfast area, less space to lay out personal belongings (smaller desk, safe has disappeared, washbasin is not efficient,trap doesn t open close so you need to have water running all the time, water spout is too long and obstructs face washing, rates have increased substantially from previous stays).

    “My tip: ”

    Gold Star for the Golden Bear!

    Staff is friendly, breakfast is included, located right on the tram line and between city centre and night life!!

    The stairs are incredibly steep (as are most places in Amsterdam)!

    “My tip: Several restaurants within 5 minutes walk, an American food shop around the corner, nice cafes, smoke shop next door.”

    Adequate but unfriendly hotel with poor breakfast

    good location, clean, easy check-in and check-out. Allows you to leave baggage after 11 AM check-out

    Unfriendly staff appear too busy to answer simple questions. Breakfast has poor quality coffee, uses only high transfat butter substitute, meats and cheeses low quality, bread is packaged and tasteless. Staircase is extremely steep and not suitable for many people.

    Stay here, stay here!

    The staff was really friendly and service-minded. The rooms was clean, so was the toilet and bath. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The location is perfect, you walk almost straight out to -I don't know the word for it, but you know, a long long street full of shops. There is the most cosy and 'warm' Coffeeshop right next door, called The Dolphin.

    The walls in the room are crying for new paint or a good scrub. Other then that, i have no bad things to say. I loved my stay there, and i will definitely come again next year!

    Great location, great hosts, the room was very very clean.

    The breakfast\'s place is too small, we\'re so close of each other and it\'s weird and not very intimate.

    I ENJOYED MY STAY

    Very comfortable location, not in a too crowded area.

    Steps to upper floors are very steep and narrow. Not fun if you are not in shape or carrying to much weight with you.

    A COSY,ECONOMICAL AND COMFORTABLE HOTEL IN THE HEART OF AMSTERDAM

    THE PERSONNEL WERE VERY FRIENDLY;MAYBE A LITTLE BIT UNSMILING,BUT VERY HELPFUL AND EFFICIENT.THE LOCATION WAS GREAT;RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING AND VERY EASY TO REACH.BREAKFAST WAS SATISFYING.

    THE STAIRS WERE AWFUL,JUST LIKE CLIMBING HIMALAYAS.THE BED SHEETS WERE NOT CHANGED FOR THREE DAYS.

    Basic Hotel-need to work on the customer service

    Breakfasts are very nice

    hotel staff should INSIST on taking your lugggage to your room since the stairway is so dangerously steep and narrow. The folks at the front desk can throw around some \'attitude\'.

    We enjoyed our stay at the golden bear

    Had a lovely stay at the Golsen Bear. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. The location couldn\'t be better. Breckfast is served til 12 so thats fantastic.

    Toilet and shower room where down a flight of stairs and the shower room was very basic, not exactly luxary power shower, but you can\'t have it all on a buget I suppose.
