What guests think

At Hotel Amstelzicht, travelers highlight a charming, historic canal-house setting and a very central, walkable location, balanced by practical trade-offs like very steep staircases without a lift and some nighttime noise from nearby venues.

Most guests praise the friendly, helpful staff, though a few cite uneven handling of problems. Room sizes vary from small to spacious, with many noting comfortable beds and attractive canal views; some decor feels basic or a bit worn, and air conditioning is usually absent with fans provided instead. Expect a characterful stay if you can manage the stairs and potential noise.

If you like old properties, this is the one. No lifts(elevators) the stairs are narrow and steep. For me, it gives it its charm. There is no AC but a fan is provided and the windows do open. At least for us up in the penthouse :) Staff was friendly and helpful!

Great location and friendly staff but room access is only by extremely steep and very narrow stairs that are more like ladders than stairs. I would not recommend this for any seniors, anyone with large luggage or with mobility problems.

Good option for a family for one night, because there was a king size bed plus a single. The building dates to the 1600's, and there are several stairs to get into the front door plus a very steep and curved staircase to get up to the 2nd floor. Interesting but would present challenges for anyone with mobility difficulty (maybe they have an elevator that I missed). The furniture and carpeting was a little tired and rough around the edges. Small bathroom with small shower and sink, and the only toiletries were hair/body wash in plastic packets plus a dispenser in the shower. Nespresso style coffee maker in room with a few pods, but no milk. Hardly any reception area, with no seating. Location was fine, and our room looked out onto a canal, but we had to keep the windows closed to sleep due to the loud music from a festival going on. There's no AC, but we used the fan provided. In a heat wave, it would be uncomfortable. Overall, it seemed like a lot to pay for the quality. Prices were very high everywhere when we stayed (August 1, 2025) during Pride festival, which we didn't realize was taking place.

Inconvenient bed when you’re a couple. Just two single beds put together. Water leak marks rotten windows and lack of ventilation options so you’ll be forced to open the window and get in the fumes from the neighbors restaurant. Also the hotel is very noisy apart from the penetrating urine smell in the entry hall. The employee asked about our experience but was only defensive and not accommodating. This was a youth hostel experience and far from three stars. Also the payment proces was very odd and seemed like you had to pay double first although that got resolved. It’s only location that speaks for the hotel.

A localização era boa, a poucos caminhadas do centro, bares e restaurantes perto, se for de carro ha um parking perto mas prepare o bolso diaria de 78 euros. Nao tem elevador, entao a escada para o andar de cima era um pouco ruim, mas o prefio era historico e original de Amsterdam O quarto tipo um cheiro um pouco desagradavel. Mas recepcionista foi otima e muito atenciosa.

This hotel is one of the 'dancing houses' of Amsterdam, so you get to stay in one of the most iconic scenes in Holland! On top of that the hotel is nice and clean. The stairs are the 'Dutch death stairs' which means they are very steep with small landings for your feet, so be ready for a focused ascent/descent to and from your room; to me it was part of the charm, but it could be more than a challenge for others. Everything was a 20min walk from the hotel so I loved just strolling around Amsterdam taking it all in.

The perfect location for central Amsterdam. Everywhere was within 15-20 minute walk. This row of 17th century houses was one of the focal points on the canal boat tour that we went on (Captain Jacks - highly recommend!). The family room was perfect for our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel is a couple of doors from the Irish bar and very close to a vibrant area for nightlife so it can be a little noisy at night. The room was next to the cellars of the bars so it was noisy in the morning too. Take ear plugs as others have recommended. The only thing I would change would be the smell of the room. It smelt of old cigarettes which we really didn't like. I reported it to the receptionist but I guess it is a smell that would be hard to remove.

Ganske fint ophold. Hverken fantastisk eller dårligt, bare average. Vi oplevede at der ikke var vand på hotellet i mange timer grundet vejarbejde udenfor, hvor der var sket et uheld. Hotellet håndterede det ret uprofessionelt - vi ved godt, at det ikke var deres skyld - men vi stod som gæster og ikke kunne komme på toilet eller i bad. Vi måtte argumentere ret hårdt for at få vandflasker op, som vi kunne vaske hænder i. Herudover tog receptionisterne hjem kl. 22 som sædvanligt, selvom der på daværende tidspunkt fortsat ikke var vand, og de ikke vidste hvornår det kom igen. Jeg føler dette kunne have været håndteret anderledes og mere professionelt. Som gæst blev jeg mødt af “det er ikke vores skyld” - hvilket er korrekt, men jeg er en betalende gæst. Håndsprit/ekstra vand burde have været en selvfølgelig og stillet til rådighed.

They genuinely seemed to care about how our stay was going. They also helped bring the luggage up and down as some of those flights were pretty steep! This hotel felt very secure as well. 10 out of 10 will stay here again when I visit Amsterdam again!

The hotel itself is quite nice. Interesting building and right on a main canal. The room was fine; basic but clean. Staff was lovely and very helpful! The location wasn't our favorite. It is a convenient walk to most tourist locations and other areas, but there is a high concentration of "coffeeshops" (dispensaries) right along that road and we found the area to be pretty dirty & we tired of the constant smell from the "coffeeshops".

I absolutely loved this hotel. It isn't for everyone, but it was perfect for us. I requested a room on the ground level and got the one I wanted right at the front of the building. The only stairs I had to navigate were exterior, leading to the front door. The interior stairs look intimidating (narrow, steep, and curved), but lucky for me we didn't have to use them. Our room had windows that looked out on the canal, so we were able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Amsterdam in spring. Lots of restaurants and metro options just around the corner. Will definitely stay here again.
