Small Room But Great Position
Pros:

When you are booking a room close to the city at the last minute and don't want to pay a fortune, sometimes your choice is limited. This room was small and very narrow, but it was clean, everything worked and the beds were ok. It was in a great spot near the heart of Amsterdam, so it was perfectly adequate for our needs

Cons:

Quite a small room near the doorway of the hotel

Pros:

Ci hanno fatto tenere i bagagli in un deposito del bar sia

al check in che dopo il check out.

Cons:

Stanza piccola e direi poco al 4 piano un letto di una piazza e mezza con un mobile minuscolo al posto dell'armadio, mini tavolino sarà stato un 50 cm profondo 30 cm lavandino ridicolo doccia che perde, faceva parecchio caldo non avevamo il climatizzatore ma un piccolo ventilatore. La ciliegina sulla torta , alla sera risaliva l'odore di fognatura che risaliva dalla doccia o della WC per 233€ a notte anche se senza colazione mi aspettavo delle condizioni migliori visto che si reputa Hotel a 1 stella ma sembra piu un motel

Завжди була вода, чиста постіль, дуже приємний персонал. Ми залишили в них речі до поселення і могли піти гуляти щоб не
Pros:

Розміщення знаходиться в пару хвилинах від вокзалу, також біля вокзалу знаходяться пороми, легко добратися до будь якої точки в місті. Поруч багато кафе і також є невеликі супермаркети.

Cons:

Все сподобалося.

Very comfortable, ideal for a city break
Pros:

Extremely central to all venues plus it’s on top of a pub which is Handy. Staff are very helpful and courteous.

Cons:

I should’ve mentioned first floor room because of the stairs there’s no lift and I was on the third floor but I saw it as good exercise and staff took my case upstairs and carried it down when we were leaving they were extremely helpful Staff.

Old Style, Old Nickel, hier wird jeder Abend legendickel. 😉
Pros:

Der Empfang in der old Nickel Bar war alleine schon wegen der Einrichtung ein Highlight, die stilvollen Holzvertäfelungen und ein "Hexenkessel“ waren ein echtes Highlight. Der Herr an der Rezeption war durchgehend äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und hat uns sogar abends noch persönlich mit Kaffee oder Bier versorgt – ein tolles Service.

Die Zimmer sind zwar klein, aber sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Beeindruckend, wie hier auf wenig Raum eine so angenehme und einladende Atmosphäre geschaffen wurde.

Die Lage ist Top, viele Restaurants in der Nähe und wirklich gemütliche Bars. Man erreicht die Amstel und die Grachten in kürzester Zeit und auch zum Bahnhof waren es nur ein paar Minuten. Die Museen sind auch alle in der Nähe Top Lage einfach!

Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Cons:

Die Stiegen ins Zimmer sind sehr steil ( eigentlich typisch für Amsterdam) ....nur so nebenbei....wir fanden 's lustig.

A great nights stay in a fine city!
Pros:

The Hotel had a beer list to die for! As a man who has passed 70 to be able to have two beers before bed in a friendly safe location was welcome. Very handy for the station and tram system. If I have to come to Amsterdam again I will stay here for sure. If hotel is fully booked will pop still in for a beer or two!

Bettwanzen!
Pros:

Zentrale Lage

Cons:

Bis auf die Lage, leider keine Weiterempfehlung. Bettwanzen!!! Ich war dort vom 22. - 23.05.2026 und es krabbelten Bettwanzen auf der Decke. Ich kann das Hotel deshalb aktuell auf keinen Fall empfehlen! Wer es gerade gebucht hat, sollte umbuchen.

Agradável
Pros:

O atendimento foi ótimo! Chegamos antes do horário do check in e pudemos deixar as malas na recepção e no dia do check out também. O quarto é pequeno, mas tem várias prateleiras e apoio para as malas. A localização é ótima! Fomos no final do inverno e o aquecedor do quarto funcionou muito bem. Limpeza impecável.
