“Friendly, helpful and secure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Highly recommend Amistad and looking forward to my next visit. The staff were friendly, helpful and added great value to my stay in Amsterdam. Breakfasts served until 1pm enabled me to stay out late (make sure that you try their wonderful scrambled eggs with chopped chives - delicious). I was also impressed by the level of security (I felt safe in the environment and appreciated having a safe available in my room). Internet access on the computer supplied in my room was an additional bonus. Thanks to all the staff for making my holiday in Amsterdam so enjoyable!!!

Room Tip: I believe apartments are available so ask about these if you require your own kitchen/kitchenette.

“It's ok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

person found this review helpful

we stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. Not bad considering the dutch hotel standards in Amsterdam. The room was clean, obviously small but comfortable. We met two members of the staff, one was kind the other was hysterical and really got me nervous. A bit pricey considering the room but the location is very good, three or four bus stop from everything.

Room Tip: in Amsterdam ask to look the room first, always and before paying..

“I'll stay elsewhere if I return to Amsterdam”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

people found this review helpful

The hotel has an OK location. It's a bit far from most of the nightlife, although there are a couple of bars within a couple of blocks of the hotel. The area is incredible noisy with drunks at night, and the sound of the trams all day and into the night as well. Despite what their website says, this hotel is not renovated. The pictures on the website, maybe they were a different, more expensive room, but the rooms and spaces I saw were NOTHING like the pictures showed.

The shared bathroom wasn't cleaned once during my 4 night stay and didn't look clean upon my arrival either. The general housekeeping was lacking due to being understaffed; the housekeeper knocked on my door one morning to inform me that he didn't have time to clean all the rooms that day, so he exchanged my towels and left me with a dirty room.

As for the staff, the housekeeper was from Brazil and didn't speak the best english, but he was the most friendly of all the staff. The guy with the hat was friendly enough, but would only suggest one place for nightlife (which happened to be a sleazy sex club two doors down from the hotel). The longer haired guy was rude in all ways.

I don't mind to pay a premium for a gay hotel, but I expect to receive tips about the local gay life in return for that premium. I think this hotel suggests the bar down the street to try to convince you that they are in a good location for nightlife (they aren't). If you want to walk to the better nightlife, you'll be walking 20+ minutes to arrive.

“Great hotel in the center of Amsterdam”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. I had the room N.7. It is a double bed room on the second floor. It is decorated very nice with a private shower and a pc in the room. The guys of the hotel are ....fastastic!! They help me so much in everything. As i noticed there are some rooms with shared showers and wv. However are very clean! The breakfast room has a big table and everybody sit together. This is a plus because u have the oportunty to meet other people.

Room Tip: If u have problem to share the bathroom just ask for a room with private shower and wc in advanced.
