Hotel Amsterdam

Hotel Description

You know what? Hotel Amsterdam surprised me – and I mean that in the best way possible. When I first walked into the lobby, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but there’s something genuinely welcoming about this spot that the rating numbers don’t quite capture. The front desk staff actually seemed happy to see me (which, honestly, isn’t always a given in Amsterdam), and check-in was refreshingly straightforward.

The thing about this hotel is that it gets the basics really right. My room was clean – properly clean, not just surface-level – and while it wasn’t huge, it had this cozy feeling that made me want to actually hang out there instead of just crash after a long day of walking around the canals. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and I’m someone who usually tosses and turns in hotel beds. What really impressed me was how quiet it stayed at night, even though we’re talking about Amsterdam here where the party can go pretty late. I mean, you might catch some distant sounds if you’re a really light sleeper, but nothing that kept me up.

The breakfast situation is solid too – nothing fancy, but they do proper Dutch cheese and decent coffee, plus the usual European hotel spread. I ended up chatting with other guests most mornings, which doesn’t always happen at bigger chain places. The whole vibe is just more… human, I guess? Like the staff knows your name after the second day, and they’ll actually give you real recommendations instead of just pointing you toward the tourist traps. One of the desk clerks steered me toward this amazing Indonesian place just a few blocks away that I never would have found otherwise. Look, it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury amenities or anything like that – the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty in some corners, and the elevator moves like it’s contemplating life – but sometimes you just want a place that feels genuine. If you’re the type of traveler who cares more about being comfortable and well-rested than having a marble bathroom or a rooftop bar, Hotel Amsterdam delivers on what actually matters.

Reviews

• Erik from Denmark – 8 May 2025 (6/10)

  The location was great
  
  What could be improved: The room was outdated in furniture and style. The charm of the entrance and hallway did not continue in the room. The light color was terrible and the interior felt old and like leftovers.

• Jepsen from Denmark – 9 December 2024 (6/10)

  Liked the authenticity and location
  
  What could be improved: Please upgrade your breakfast Quality – maybe even theis in some egg varieties.

• Fiona from Germany – 20 August 2024 (8/10)

  Excellent location
  
  What could be improved: No bar fridge

• Jan from Czech Republic – 15 November 2023 (8/10)

  Suitable location close to Congress Centre. Clean and convenient facilities.
  Smart business model. Hotel is just one floor inside of classic urban building. Other floors are different hotel brands.
  
  What could be improved: All fine

• Laurent from France – 4 September 2023 (8/10)

  Very charming bedroom, comfortable, well decorated. Nice location close to Stephenplatz, big public garden, and Alster lake. I did not test the breakfast. The value for money was good, to my opinion.
  
  What could be improved: Wifi was so so for one day, then it came better and I had no issue.

• Olga from Germany – 26 June 2023 (8/10)

  It was very nicely located. I liked a lot that beds were cozy, room was clean, and the building and the room had a nice vibe.
  
  What could be improved: The room on the photo on the booking.com was not the same room provided to us. Little sofa was missing and window view was on the inner garden. Sink for washing hands was outside the bathroom. Which is a bit weird but ok. But I’d not like to stay longer than one/two nights there.

• Andrea from United Kingdom – 5 April 2023 (8/10)

  It is a great location, only a 5 minute walk to the train station.
  A quirky hotel with great rooms, and excellent service from the staff.
  The breakfast was really fresh, and the waiters were so nice.
  Room 14 was a great size, and front facing so the view is great. Also really quiet and no noise from other rooms or outside.
  
  What could be improved: The only two things that let it down were the sofa in my room (14) was looking a little worse for wear, and could do with a deep clean. Other than that the room was immaculate, and it wouldn't stop me staying here again, and recommending it to others.
  The WIFI wasn't great in room 14 when trying to do some work, it wasn't great at connecting.

• Shubham from Germany – 5 March 2023 (6/10)

  Room was clean, staff is polite and location is very good! We were traveling with a pet and they were very accommodating of that, although there is an additional charge of 10eur per night payable at the hotel – this was not included in the total cost of booking or informed automatically. Only when we reached out we were told.
  
  What could be improved: There is no private bathroom inside the room, although it is in the same corridor. This is still manageable. However, the shower and sink are located in the room itself, and there is no partitioning!! It is very weird and uncomfortable especially when you're traveling with other people. Would recommend for a short budget stay, but definitely not recommend it for a very long stay just because of the shower situation, unless you're willing to step out when the other person showers :p

• Tim from United Kingdom – 6 February 2023 (6/10)

  Despite being located close to Dammtor station and a major road, our rooms faced a sidestreet and were quiet and dark at night. The operation is slightly weird with 5 different hotels and apartment lets being based within the same characterful older building, Hotel Amsterdam occupying the 2nd floor (via a lift if needed)
  Our rooms had copious storage space
  The beds were long and extremely comfortable
  The lady looking after breakfasts was friendly and helpful
  
  What could be improved: Check-in was perfunctory and information delivered at breakneck speed
  The bathroom was absolutely tiny, without working ventilation or heating
  Heating for the room itself was via an old (and enormous) water radiator, but the control valve was hidden away and covered by a cupboard so it took us 2 days to discover it

• Damian from United Kingdom – 21 November 2022 (8/10)

  central location only 10 minutes walk away from who I was visiting
  
  What could be improved: the pillow was so soft as to be useless as a pillow, I ended up using a rolled up towel underneath it. I would have preferred all facilities were en-suite
