“Great location, good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I was a little worried because of some of the comments from reviewers but took a chance anyway because rooms were going fast the week we went.
My main priority was to have somewhere close to Centraal station because our flight came in at 20.40 and I didn't want any complex transfers.
Singel hotel is literally up the road and round the corner from the main station so was perfect. But even though it was close to the station the street was actually relatively quiet - most of the noise came from bikes clattering past.
We had room 25 which is a double (although it was actually twin beds pushed together) and looks right out onto the canal. Yes the room was small but this seems to be a feature of Amsterdam architecture rather than the hotel being mean with space. Look at the buildings in Amsterdam - they are TINY.
The staff were all pleasant, polite and helpful. The desk is open 24hours which is a boon when you have no idea when you will return.....The TV selection is not bad - for english speakers there was BBC 1,2,3, CBBC and some generic US channels. Unfortunately the reception was a bit patchy at times meaning all the channels were not available.
The hotel has a lift and contrary to what a previous reviewer said - it worked well :)
I would book this hotel again without hesitation.

Room Tip: Room 25 has a view of the canal.

“Good location but not too impressive staying”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

people found this review helpful

It was my first trip to Netherlands, so maybe some things are normal there, but my first impression wasn't too good. My single room was very small, cosy, the room was cleaned every day, but in the bathroom... it was too damp there 'cause of poor work of air-ventilation system I think and it wasn't cleaned at all for all 3 days I stayed there. So on the second day my floor towel was soaked and got yellow and water was everywhere, and I was scared to use hairdryer to stay alive. And water was dropping from the tap when I turned on the heating) So I'd call my staying there "watering season". I didn't feel like in a 3-stars hotel there.

Room Tip: Don't choose single rooms. Nothing to breathe in heating season)

“Lovely place, Lovely people.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

Our second stay at the hotel, had a fantastic room, the staff were wonderful, again, very helpful and polite and had no problems taking care of our bags before we could check in and after we checked out, so we didn't have to carry our bag round. The cleaning staff make the rooms up perfectly, the location is perfect, close enough to everything to be in the action but in an area that feels private and calm.


Good value for money considering all their positive points, would struggle to find a negative.

We will always goto this hotel when we goto Amsterdam.

“great location & very accomodating & friendly”

We really liked the Singel Hotel, all the staff were hospitable & friendly. The hotel was very modern even though it's @an old building, The breakfast room was a really pleasant place to have the lovely brekkie that is provided. My friend took full advantage & had as much as he wanted. So, I cannot really understand the previous views on the @breakfast, as it was really again, accomodated. We were very lucky to be put in the triple room & the free wi-fi was an excellent addition. We would defo stay @Singel Hotel again, because the staff are very pleasant & helpful.
