“Decent stay but a bit far from the centre of Amsterdam”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2010

I stayed here for a night after flying in from North America before heading to a conference in The Hague the next day. For my purposes, having been here twice before (and knowing I'd return two weeks later), it was fine. Not too difficult to find the right bus and get here - public transportation in the Netherlands is no problem and the bus driver was helpful. But if I were here to see Amsterdam, I would not stay here. Yes, the rooms were fine, but the location makes it a bit difficult to see Amsterdam. If money is an issue and you don't mind a bit of a commute, this is a good choice. If you're trying to see as much as possible in a few days, you may want to look elsewhere. I ate in the restaurant downstairs which was fairly expensive (nice Caesar salad) as there were no other obvious options nearby. Central Amsterdam is obviously more expensive but you're paying for the location.

“Simple yet affective”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2009

Hotels nice and clean, staff were nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice apart from it's abut too early (6.30-9.00)
it is quite far from Amsterdam city centre but once you've got the bus times sorted your fine. It's the number 91 for anyone who wants to know. The rooms are ok. It's cheap, u get what you pay for.
Overall it's a good place

“Far from the city centre and rooms not amazing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2009

We booked this hotel as we couldn't find any cheapish hotels nearer the centre. Fortunately we had a car, otherwise we'd have had to rely on buses to get to the city. The downside of course was that my boyfriend couldn't drink and it does take a good 15-20 minutes to get to the city centre.

The hotel itself was ok but I wasn't very impressed with our room. It was clean, but crawling with ants. I watched them scuttle into my bags and clothes which wasn't very pleasant!

The lighting in the room is poor. There were no lights at all in one half of the room so we were searching around in our suitcases in the dark.

All in all I'd say this hotel is ok but not at all convenient for Amsterdam city centre.

“Clean hotel but far from amsterdm central at night”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2007

I came back from this hotel last night, after staying in this hotel with a female friend for three nights. The hotel was clean and in good condition. I had only two problems. When booking with expedia i requested a smoking room, only to find that I had a non-smoking room, when i complained i was told that they are unable to save ooms for guests. The hotel was also far. Although by bus it was only a 25 minute journey for 2.5 euros. However there are only two buses a hour and the last bus stops at 12.00pm. Taxi is very expensive. It was also scary for two women to travel on bus in amsterdam that late, espicially as in zaadam there is alot of bushs and greenery and water and hardly any street lights. It was dead out there, near an industrial business site and cremtorium. it also seems like no one leaves theres house after 6 as there were no one on the streets and no sweet shops. If you have the money stay near the heart of dam, if you dont still stay here as it is accessible to bus and train, youll just have to come home early or spend a fortune on cab. good luck, you will love dam, i did, can not wait to go back.

“nice hotel, great staff..”

This is a nice hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was basic but clean and nicely decorated. We just had one problem....ants!!
They were on the desk and bed locker but not in the bed. I made sure of that each night!
The ants did not bother me too much. If they were in the bed then I would have caused a fuss. Others may be less tolerant.
