“Very good hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
6
people found this review helpful

Visited this hotel on an annual trip with my mate for a lads weekend. Hotel is very easy to get to and from Amsterdam centre. Nearby are a couple of bars and a resturaunt just round the corner. Room was comfortable and warm,cleaned daily and roomy enough for 2 people. Breakfast was good and tasty but a sausage would have been welcome as i am partial to a good sausage.Would stay there again if we ever go back. Good time was had and i cant fault a thing,apart from the shortage of sausage.Mainly a muslim area but they really keep themselves to themselves.Nice area as well.Quiet at night also.Nice meal was had in hotel so i can recommend that.No sausage on the menu though.

“Value for money, clean room, nice breakfast and good access to tram link”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Great value for money as it is located outside of the centre. A tram runs just outside and takes around 20 minutes to Dam Square and the centre of Amsterdam. Nice quiet location.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is very clean and the rooms are comfortable. We were on the ground floor facing the front of the hotel so we could hear the trams outside but this wasn't a problem as it isn't very loud.

The breakfast was very good with lots of variety. Service was excellent. One of the plus points of this hotel was the free wifi.

Very helpful staff at reception and tram tickets can be purchased here. We opted for a 48hour pass which was cheaper than buying daily tickets.

Would recommend this hotel and would return.

“highly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Returned today from a 3 day stay at this hotel and definitely will be back. The hotel was spotless, the staff so helpful and friendly and no request was too much. Ok so it is a 20 minute tram ride from the city centre but it is in a nice quite location. You can take a number 69 bus from the airport for 2.60 euros ( beats paying 35 euros for a taxi and that is cheap) just ask off at Plein 40/45 and it will be more or less opposite the hotel. We took a taxi from the airport but the bus back.

Room Tip: We were on the 1st floor and to the back -very quiet.

“2nd Visit, Still a Great Choice for Amsterdam”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

people found this review helpful

2nd Visit to this hotel, and still think it a great choice for a trip to Amsterdam. Around 20 mins from the city centre, its much quieter, better value for money, and very clean and damp free unlike many of the City Centre hotels at comparible prices.
We were on the ground floor towards the back of the hotel, and there was some noise from the staff area where they must all walk past the door, but this was never before around 07:30 so didnt really disturb us.
The room was nicely furnished, and the beds extremely comfortable.
The only real let down at this hotel was the restaurant. Breakfast (additionally chargable, and not cheap!) is bland and greasy, but far better then the evening service, which while being an expensive option was far from tastey - yet again very greasy and limited poor choice - we were the only ones eating in the restaurant on that night, and now we know why!
Reception staff are very helpful and really make the place welcoming.
We will be back again in the future.

Room Tip: Rooms on the 1st floor much quieter and seem larger.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Our family spent New Years weekend (6days total) at this hotel and highly recommend it. After reading many reviews of other Amsterdam hotels, the word "bedbugs" was abundant. This hotel was spotless, with housekeeping checking with you twice a day for anything you might need - linen,towels, soap etc..). We had two rooms, cheaper than 1 quad, and they were both lovely. The hotel is in a Turkish neighbourhood and I think this is an asset, There is a nice market in the nearby square, shops, indoor mall, restaurants and bakeries nearby. Also a Turkish supermarket on the square, you have to try the breads and olives. We like to shop and travel like "locals" so taking the tram and buses to the tourist spots was a pleasure. They run every 10 mins. or so and listening to all the varied conversations truly makes Amsterdam a multi-cultural city. We went for daily walks around the hotel and it was perfectly safe and de-stressing after being downtown all day. The front desk staff were very helpful, the sell transit passes and help with maps and directions, all in perfect english. Approx. 20 mins to/from Schiphol, eays to get to. We would definately stay here again !

Room Tip: Pick a room with a canal view, quieter and nicer view.
