“Great Location! - Average Rooms”

Rooms smelt a little funny when we arrived!, Also at the time they are doing renovations, so every morning about 5am we could hear very loud drills vibrating our room which was very frustrating!.. Showers were horrible! mmm Great location tho, right in the heart of the city!

“Great choice for Amsterdam.”

The Hotel Amsterdam provides very good value in an excellent location. Good, clean rooms, courteous staff, and it sits atop a traditional Dutch restaurant. Its at the Dam Square with numerous restaurants, shops and the infamous Red Light District just steps away. And the trams pass right out front. A great base from which to see and enjoy the best Amsterdam has to offer.

Area recommendations
The Dam Square and surroundings.

“Would pick another...”

No free internet and a ridiculous charge for mediocre breakfast buffet not the value we were expecting. Considering this hotel is on one of the major streets in Amsterdam; it l is virtually impossible to access if you are driving. Really wish this was clearer in the hotel description. There are, we discovered, better more accessible values in the city. Loved Amsterdam. Hotel Amsterdam just ok.

“Great Hotel but small rooms”

This was a great hotel, good location, and hotel staff was wonderful. The rooms were a little small but your not in them much so I would still recommend this hotel highly.

Area recommendations
Dam Square - it's centrally located if you like to be in the heart of things. If not you can go just a couple of blocks out and it will be a bit quieter.
Getting there
Getting ttere is easy from the airport, by train then using the tram to get to your hotel, or by shuttle which costs a bit more (but may be easier for some people)
Getting around
They have a great tram system but there is so much to see within walking distance.
Must see
Too many things to see. This was my 4th trip to Amsterdam and I have yet to see all the museums, churches, parks, canal rides, tours, etc. I'm already planning my next trip.
Shopping
Shopping everywhere
Dining
There is certainly no lack of choices to eat from.

“Complain to get what you want”

The first room they gave us was a dingy small room where the bathroom door banged into the bed. There was very little natural light due to the fact that there were catwalks above our room. If you craned your neck, you could just see the colour of the sky. However, after we complained we were given a larger, bright room overlooking dam square. The staff was fine. The hotel was clean. The beds were so so.

“Great location - but noisy”

Have just returned from a wonderful week in Amsterdam. The hotel is in a vibrant area of the city but our room at the end of the first floor overlooked a busy and bustling shopping street which even with double glazing made it noisy - paticularly at night. That said the room was very comfortable - the water leak in our bathroom we found on our arrival was sorted very quickly and we had no further problems. The staff were very helpful and the hotel is situated in a great location just by Dam Square.

“Great Location”

Excellent location and easily accessible from Central Station. Tram to Dam Square, but review Amsterdam's transport system before travelling as it is.very user friendly. Hotel was an excellent base for enjoying Amsterdam and staff were very kind and helpful.

Area:

Dam Square - Central Station, Amsterdam, Netherlands: The bustling heart of Amsterdam, this district attracts hordes of visitors teeming from Centraal Station to Dam Square and its beautiful Nieuwe Kerk (14th-century). The oldest part of town, Oude Zijde, is famous for its Red Light District, but the University and the docks bring a different kind of colour and buzz to the narrow streets. Don’t miss the Oude Kerk, the Amstelkring Museum or the paintings in the Amsterdams Historisch Museum.
