We stayed in the family room offered at Hotel Des Arts with our family of 5. All though the room was small, this was no surprise as it was clearly stated in the Internet advertising. The bedding was very comfortable and the area was quiet. The location was perfect and all the main tourist areas were just a short walk... More

We (two friends) booked this for a 30th birthday party. There were around 15 of us, so our choice was limited, but this had a lot of vacancies. There are a few bad points - the guy at the counter is pretty rude and, more importantly, is unhelpful provides poor service. We booked a twin, only one of the beds... More

This unique family runned hotel was a great place for our first visit to Amsterdam. The owners are very kind and helpful as the hotel is clean and we felt like at home. The breakfast room is really cute and romantic. It`s true that you hear a lot through the walls but the other guests were very pleasant and it... More

The hotel looks so nice on the photos, family run hotel in a 17th century building off the Canal; as soon as you puch open the door you get a faint smell of stain tobacco smoke which seems to haunt the whole joint..

The hotel's website photos promise cheerful, colorful rooms, but my room (and a couple others I saw) was more like staying in a prison cell, cramped, colorless, viewless, FREEZING COLD, and NOISY ALL NIGHT. Breakfast - included only if you book through the hotel - is cold hard-boiled eggs, cold rolls, cold bland cheese slices, cold cheap meat slices, and... More

If you like a cranky old man who appears to be ready for a fist fight when you check in....this place is for you! The lady who took our reservation was very nice, offering us a room for one night when there is usually a 3 night minimum. Apparently, Senor Big Cheese didn't agree and almost came across the reception... More

Nice clean friendly hotel, very well located for the centre of Amsterdam. No problems with this hotel, come in on the train from the Airport just go right up the centre Street and keep on walking. No issues with the hotel and we stayed there over new year. by the way, new year in Amsterdam is excellent. More

It was our third trip to Amsterdam and the web page of the Hotel advertised a newly refurbished and charming 17th Century Hotel oozing with charecter and very central to the Heart of Amsterdam. What they didnt mention was it was probably the 17th Century when they last cleaned the place. We booked a double room on the web and... More

Really lovely staff who were friendly and spoke excellent English. Good location and full of quirky features appropriate to a building of this age. We had a lot of fun here and would stay again. More
