Hotel Die Port van Cleve

Good location. Close to tram which can get you all around the city

Die Port van Cleve was overall a nice spot to stay in a central location in a very busy Amsterdam. Couple of points: The photos on the website are a bit deceptive. The standard king room we had was VERY small, even by European standards. The bed was large and comfortable. The bath was VERY small. It required a large step up to get in...not for those with sore knees. The first two days of our stay were during Kings Day. We did not get to sleep until 2am when the bar down the street stopped the nasty thump soundtrack Other nights were fine with some expected city noise. Staff was very friendly. The pub, De Blouwe Parade was a very nice historic spot with incredible delf tiles. They have some beer, minimal wine, but excellent hand drafted cocktails. Passionate bar owner and staff. They open at 4 and have a small snack and pub food menu. We were surprised there is no sign or tie with the Lobby...just a door with a stained-glass window. I suspect many travelers don't know it's there. There was a good restaurant next door, but they made it hard to take advantage of it. Breakfast was available for 27 Euro...and very basic for Europe. They did not allow you to sit and have a cup of coffee. There is a very small area and bar you could sit and have coffee but not advertised.... they did not seem to welcome that service. The restaurant was always packed for lunch and dinner...reservations recommended. There is a coffee shop on the corner that opens at 9:00 kind of...sometimes 9:30.

From the minute of arrival, the staff were welcoming and energetic. Helped me bring my luggage to my room. There were nice welcome treats on the bed. They greeted me everyday when I came down. The room was spotless and bed was comfortable. Location is central to everything in the heart of the city. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and would stay there again.

Great hotel well located very comfortable bed. Staff were excellent. The hotel has a nice bar and the French restaurant below was incredibly popular although we did not go. The rooms are a bit small but they’re well appointed. We would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean and quiet despite there being a lot of hustle and bustle outside. Room was small but that’s to be expected with an old building. There are plenty of things to do/see nearby. Small grocery store just down the block. Plenty of shops and places to eat within walking distance. A few minutes away from the Anne Frank house and the Red Light District. We walked to the Heineken Experience. We walked to Amsterdam Centraal with our bags - it wasn’t too bad of a walk but it was a little bit of a pain with how crooked the path is. There’s a bar and restaurant attached to the hotel. The bar has some fancy cocktails well worth checking out. We enjoyed our stay here and would totally stay here again.
