I admit that czulems ie at home here even though it was my first trip to Amsterdam. My companion in the journey he considered the same.

“Loved the Hollywood”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Me and my fiance stayed at the Hollywood apartment for 9 days and loved it!! The apartment is really spacious, and filled with all sorts of cool and funny stuff. The decor is really uniqe, and not what you get in a regular hotel etc. We spent a long time just looking at everything :) Loved the bathroom window, and the elephant curtains in particular.

The location is perfect, couldnt have been any better. Just a short walk away from everything; Leidseplein, Niewmarkt etc. And the canal wiew it was really the finishing touch. The street is quiet, so there was no noise from the street that bothered us during the night. There was a supermarket, and a laundry shop nearby wich was very practical.

The apartment was a bit worn, but that wasnt a problem for us, the fact that its so special and unique outweighs it. It was okay cleaned ( maybe some dusting would be nice....), and the bed and bedsheets was really good......the springs in the bed might need some oiling thogh ;) We didnt order any cleaning during our stay, we just told Mo ( who lived right across the hall) when we needed new towels. We placed dirty towels and garbage outside the door to our apartment, and they were removed quickly.

Mo was there to meet us when we arrived, and was very friendly and service oriented. He helped us with everything we asked him to. We had some shared experience with the online chat, wich were for staying guest only... they were not online as much as they should be,and some of them wasnt wery helpful...... Alice was very helpful though, and Mo from across the hall of course.

We really liked this place, liked having the privacy and space of and apartment instead of a crowded hotel, and we have already booked our next stay :) If you need everything to be top noch, this is not the place for you. Also note that this is a smoker friendly company, so there is alot of smokers equipment in the apartment.

Room Tip: Book in good time before you plan to go there.

“Amsterdam Escape - not what they used to be (Brandon we miss you!)”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011

My wife and I have rented several flats from Amst. Esc. in the past, including 3 at one time when we got married. The most recent, Holywood, was really bad. Our "innkeeper", Mo, was very responsive but there wasn't much he could do. The place was dirty and the pictures were not representative of it's current condition. When I tried to fluff the pillows a could of dust came off them. The shower was plugged (mo finally got it to drain sort of) and the other amenities were mostly in dis-repair (e.g. lights were out, towels had holes, sheets were years old, etc.). When I finally figured out how to turn the tv on what should pop up but a porno video left by a previous renter. We had Mo come by several times but there was just no way to resolve everything. I spent a while chatting on-line with their help person (I believe they're in Ireland) and their only solution was to "talk to Mo". I told them we were considering leaving and their response was "do what you have to do" - no refunds. Unfortunately the hotels were mostly booked. In the end, we stayed in the room but spent next to no time there. We moved the mattress off the crappy springs, bought ourselves two new pillows with sheets and ate out the whole time. I will not be renting from them again.

Room Tip: stay somewhere else

Hello there

Sorry to hear Hollywood was not up to our usual Escape standards during your last stay. You were actually the last guest to stay there before we closed it for a refit, returning it to its former glory

The problem was we had a leak from the apartment above , which caused quite a mess for us and worse still ,we had nowhere to rehouse guests as all of our other places were booked for months in advance.

We closed Hollywood the 1st chance we got and gave it a total refit repaint , new TV, Kitchen, Playstation 3 and games , making it all brand new.

As one can see , recent reviews are all again very positive.

At Escape you can be assured we go the extra mile for our guests.

As for your comment
'I believe they're in Ireland and their only solution was to "talk to Mo' 'I told them we were considering leaving and their response was "do what you have to do" - no refunds'.

This is not exactly true, our office is actually located on Nieuwmarkt a few minutes walk from our apartments! Mo is the house manager, so of course he is the first point of contact for guests and he can usually solve any problems that occur. If you had decided to leave, we would certainly have offered a refund.

We have never had any complaints about the bed ,but after your comment ,we went and tested ourselves but couldn't find anything wrong with the springs. We've also asked every guest since and none have had any problem.

We thank you for the feedback, which good or bad is gratefully received and should you deign to stay with us again, we would be delighted to offer you a free night.
