Hotel Aspen is in a great location in central Amsterdam. The hotel was clean and tidy, but you definitely get what you pay more. Nothing more than a budget hotel but certainly a step up from a hostel. More

You will ascend up a charming yet steep winding staircase to check in at the second floor, and your rooms will be another floor up. The innkeepers are very nice and the hotel is in a good location - walking distance from the train station and close enough to the Anne Frank House. For people from the US, don't expect... More

I love budget hotels in Amsterdam, and have tried plenty, so I very reluctant to critisise one, but this place disappointed me. It was clean and warm, and convenient for the area I needed ( Dam Square) but I am pretty sure I could find much better for the price or a little extra. No breakfast, the smallest shared shower...

I've never stayed in such a horrable place in my entire life. I was alone and it was very hard to fit myself and my suitcase in the same room. The are many spots in the room carpet and I didn't see such a clean hotel as I expected after reading these comments. The shared bathroom is ridiculous, There's only... More

This small hotel offered clean, quiet rooms, conveniently located to most of Amsterdam's attractions. I never had trouble sleeping. The stairs are memorable but only a minor inconvenience. Staff was always friendly and accommodating. More

This hotel is advertised EVERYWHERE as a budget, basic hotel and it delivers exactly what it promises. I have stayed here twice now with a group of friends - both times for the Amsterdam Marathon. The hotel... More

This 1 star hotel is conveniently located very near DAM square, the canals, Anne Frank house, tram stations and an Albert Heijn supermarket. Hoped when booking the hotel that it was more the just the basics... but I was wrong. Advantages: Got room an hour early since it was already ready and we had arrived. No problem leaving luggage after... More

I stayed at Hotel Aspen with friends in June 2011. We chose it because it is not too far from the city center and it was very inexpensive. Upsides: The room was clean and reasonably large. The staff was friendly. Very inexpensive. Central location, but not too close to the red light district. Downsides: The room strongly smelled of marijuana... More

Loved our stay here. Centrally located we were able to easily walk everywhere, Anne Frank house, red light district and train station. Great helpful hosts. Smaller room with large window was very clean. Shared shower was tiny but it did the job. Great value. A lot of great restaurant and coffee shops nearby. Free fast Wifi. Stairs were somewhat frightening... More
