Sara's Boutique Hotel

Fantastic hotel for location and convenience. No airconditioning in room so was extremely hot. Only a small fan was provided. Bathroom door did not close either. Comfy bed and close to amenities

3rd floor room but email stated ground. No lounge. No tea or coffee facilities in the room. No restaurant or breakfasting areas

Elevator was broken, but the nice young man working took my suitcase up the 3 flights of stairs.

After reading the reviews I was hesitant about my stay at this property. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The location of the hotel was perfect, only 30 min walk till you’re in the city centre. The hotel has bikes to hire as well as numbers for taxis etc. The room was satisfactory for the price you pay. The balcony was lovely, the TV had Netflix & Prime available. The bed was comfy. Big bathroom and mirrors. 24 hour reception was perfect. You cannot go wrong for the price. The only criticism, would be there was no soup/toilet roll, however we did get some after asking. Overall, the reviews are not accurate and the hotel is perfect for a budget stay. Thank you very much!

Convenient and affordable. Room has no AC and smelled like a pool, the only real downfall was the no AC. I was drenched. It felt like they were pumping hot air in forever and ever. Not ideal for hot sleepers. All they need is an AC and this would be a prime spot. Other than that it was great for our stay, easily walkable to the city and convenient 3 min walk to tram.

Skittent og nedslitt. Verdens tregeste heis som i praksis var ubrukelig. Grei plassering rett ved Leidseplein!

Stairs very steep. Elevator extremely slow. Need ear plugs. Staff was nice and helpful.

The hotel was nice, but the elevator stopped working, i had to lift my luggage with my hands through stairs

A small but functional room. The thin mattress kept slipping off the wooden base, and the shower oddly had no curtain or door, so the water would spread out into the bathroom and the room itself. But the floor was made of a material that eventually absorbed the water. The elevator is indeed the slowest and loudest I’ve experienced (as advertised) but the room is reasonably priced, the location is great, in walking distance from the van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, and near several good restaurants. The staff is nice and the front door stays open throughout the night.

Hotel in good location close to leinespliene for trams Lidl nearby and nice sandwich pastry shop across rd for breakfast. Room basic. Toilet not v clean. I used anti bacterial wipes on handles sink and tv remote. Bed comfy sheets and towels clean. Lift noisy but no one moving around between midnight and 8 so slept well. English tv channels a bonus. No te and coffee facilities a shame. Coffee can be bought from reception staff. All staff pleasant. Was surprised by £50 deposit in addition to tourist tax but got it back in 2 days after checkout. Id stay here again for pric

Die Unterkunft war an Dreck kaum zu überbieten. Tierhaare, Staubkugeln und ein Zigarettenstummel bereits im Treppenhaus. Das Zimmer war heruntergekommen, als hätte es seit Jahrzehnten keinen Maler gesehen. Der Boden war nicht gesaugt (Socken waren nach 1 Minute im Raum schon dreckig). Das Badezimmer war die reine Katastrophe! Ungeputztes Klo mit „Überresten“ vom letzten Gast, Kalk und Zahnpastaflecken im Waschbecken, Kalk und Schimmel in der Dusche. Als wir nach einem anderen Zimmer gefragt haben, teilte uns der Junge an der Rezeption - der womöglich gerade erst volljährig war - mit, dass alles ausgebucht sei. Auch ein Check out war 5 Minuten nach dem Check in nicht mehr möglich. Wir hätten sofort jedes andere Hotel bevorzugt. Wir haben es zuerst auf die freundliche Art versucht, da der Junge an der Rezeption nichts dafür kann. Als wir ihm die Zustände des Zimmers gezeigt hatten sagte er Schulterzuckend nur: „yes, and thats it?“ Der Zustand des Zimmers ist also keine einmalige Abweichung der Sauberkeit aufgrund eines Fehlers der Reinigungskraft, sondern scheinbar die Norm! Die Bettwäsche roch zwar gewaschen, hatte aber dennoch alte Schmutzflecken, die nicht mehr rausgingen. Da es nach einer Kontaktaufnahme zu Expedia auch keine Möglichkeit gab das Geld zurückzufordern oder das Zimmer zu stornieren mussten wir bleiben. Es wurde uns versichert, dass das Zimmer am nächsten Tag gereinigt wird -> eine Lüge. Auch nach der Reise keine Chance auf eine Rückerstattung.

Hôtel très bien situé Personnel souriant Deco chambre agréable Chambre salle de bain assez grande POINT NOIR : le ménage laisse à désirer ( choses du précédent client par terre, traces de café ? sur les murs, linge de chambre et de sdb déchirés, draps pas nickels ). ET SURTOUT punaise de lit ( confirmé par la pharmacie)

Staff were very friendly, nice cat in reception and good area. However the room wasn’t clean, dirty sheets, bathroom was a state and walls were very thin, can hear everything.

La cama tenía chinches y la habitación estaba sucia en general

Hotel é muito bem localizado, perto dos pontos turísticos, perto de meios de transporte e praticamente se pode fazer tudo a pé. Limpeza do hotel não foi das melhores, lençóis sujos, com cabelo, manchas. Banheiro muito pequeno, quando toma banho molha o banheiro inteiro. Se você quer somente localização, está otimo.

This hotel should not call itself ‘boutique’ - it is basic and very tired and shabby. Our room was grubby - dirt around the edges of the room, wallpaper peeling, grime on the walls, someone else’s rubbish under the bed. The shower looked good but flooded the bathroom every time. The room was cramped and the furniture was very worn and damaged. One of our towels was so thin in places you could see through it whilst the other had a rip in it. Staff at the small reception desk were pleasant and apologetic but seemingly unable to make any changes.

The room had mold, cobb webs, and mysterious splatter on the walls. The shower did not have a proper door/drainage which caused for water to go everywhere. The lights also did not work properly and constantly flickered/turned off. I would not choose to stay for more than a day or two

Das Zimmer war sehr dreckig, insbesondere das Bad. Der Waschtisch war kaputt und aufgequollen, die Toilette wirkte nicht gereinigt, Schimmel und Kalk an den Fliesen, zudem war nach dem Duschen das komplette Bad nass. Die Handtücher hatten Flecken und Risse. Im restlichen Zimmer wurde wohl lange nicht mehr richtig geputzt, überall war Staub und zudem noch Ohrringe von den Gästen zuvor auf dem Boden. Die Location ist super, aber das Hotel kann man so nicht weiterempfehlen.

Room was filthy, a pile of dust on the floor under the table, skirting boards grubby and thick with dirt. Sheets on the bed were off white, the pillows were just cushions lumpy and off white.

REMPLIE DE PUNAISE DE LIT A FUIRE !!! / FILLED WITH BED BUGS TO ESCAPE!!!

Bed wasn't comfortable at all. Everything gets wet in the bathroom... Not built well at all

Location was good. Room was tiny and backed on to the lift, so was noisy when the lift was in use. No traffic noise. Bed was saggy on one side. Staff were friendly enough but didn’t go out of their way. No service done in a 4 night stay.

Fantastic hotel for location and convenience. No airconditioning in room so was extremely hot. Only a small fan was provided. Bathroom door did not close either. Comfy bed and close to amenities

Found broken pieces of glass in my room. No fan or A/C made it very uncomfortable to stay in, especially when trying to sleep. The floor was rough and uncomfortable. Couldn’t get a cold shower running, it always went hot, which was quite bad given the weather. Wifi was horrible and didn’t work most of the time

Overall a good stay but HORRIBLE WiFi. If you need to connect for work purposes I wouldn’t recommend it. Spacious room and an elevator were a welcome change in Europe. The bed was comfy but it’s a king size made by putting two twins together - and the beds start moving apart sometime throughout the night (there’s a mattress pad on top) which led to us kind of rolling in the middle. Room looks nice but when you look closer there’s a bunch of chipping paint and such. Hotel cat came and said hi which was a very nice surprise.

Very close to area we wanted to be. Room was quite small but functional. Bathroom shower needs some attention - water goes everywhere from rainfall shower head and right out under bathroom door. There is no lip on shower stall to hold back the water.

Stairs very steep. Elevator extremely slow. Need ear plugs. Staff was nice and helpful.

A small but functional room. The thin mattress kept slipping off the wooden base, and the shower oddly had no curtain or door, so the water would spread out into the bathroom and the room itself. But the floor was made of a material that eventually absorbed the water. The elevator is indeed the slowest and loudest I’ve experienced (as advertised) but the room is reasonably priced, the location is great, in walking distance from the van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, and near several good restaurants. The staff is nice and the front door stays open throughout the night.

The staff were friendly and helpful but this hotel is in desperate need of a deep cleaning or a fresh coat of paint. I stayed in a single room near the elevator that the hotel acknowledge is the slowest in Amsterdam. The room is very small but served my purpose. The twin bed was comfortable but the topper kept slipping off the bed. The sheets and towels had stains and were dingy grey. The shower had good pressure but flooded the bathroom every time you used it. The toilet is so close to the sink that you could sit on toilet and brush your teeth- not that would want too but it’s the best way to describe it. My room had strange brown smears on the wall and the wall paper was ripped and peeling off. The hotel has cats running around which didn’t bother me but if you have allergies be aware. Location is convenient to trams and museum district. Neighborhood is quiet.

The room was too small. It was impossible to sleep at night because of the noise. It was the super loud elevator if it wasn't somebody talking loudly. The room was not super clean (my sheets had stains), and the walls desperately needed a fresh coat of paint. I do not recommend the property.

Slightly strange decor, definitely needs a refurb. Staff more abrupt than welcoming. You get the feeling they deal with a lot of rowdy guests so just assume we are all the same. It was a reasonable price tho and just on the edge of the busy areas.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This is a warning to all potential guests to steer clear of this hotel. Do not believe the Expedia average review of 7 out of 10 stars. The room will only be cleaned if you demand in advance, you will be charged fees for requesting fresh towels (which their resident cat lies on all day - hello allergies!), and the amount of audible noise from other guests (because it's an "old building") is insufferable. The towels, bedsheets, wallpaper, etc etc is in such a state of disrepair it's disgraceful this place still makes money.

It was a fabulous stay and good value for money. The staff were excellent and responded when i ask questions online instantly, so helpful, i can't fault that. I had the best sleeps in a long time and was perfectly central enough to get around without being 'too' central if you know what i mean. Would definately recommend it and stay there again. Thanks

Really friendly staff. Very accommodating and always available 24/7

The location is good, walkable from Amsterdam Central, The wallpaper was peeling from the walls and the paint was stained, They charge a €50 deposit that is not discussed previously and are currently trying to overcharge me by around £100 for changing from a single room to a double room

Very pleasant and friendly staff, great location, clean and cosy room. I loved staying there. Would love to stay again if I come back.

The hotel is in an ideal spot, a short walk to Leidseplein. The staff at the hotel were fantastic. My phone broke and the lady at reception helped me print my tickets, give directions and overall was really kind and understanding.

Great little hotel close to Amsterdam hypercenter. Very convenient, they rent bikes at a decent price and the staff is very friendly

The rudest staff I’ve ever come across, hotel had a cat and was playing with a mouse in the foyer. When I confronted the staff about it. Zero Apologies, Zero Respect and absolute unwillingness to help at all. I would never stay again and wouldn’t recommend to my worst nightmare.

Great location. Helpful staff.

Good location and decent size rooms. Stairs are ridiculously steep but there is a super-slow lift to use instead.

The location of the property is perfect. Easy to walk to the center or to the west and it’s right next to one of the best parks in Amsterdam, Vondelpark. The room I had was spacious and the staff were very helpful.

The Location is great and the Price is okay.

Location is good. Close to Metro Tram 17.

Very pleasant and friendly staff, great location, clean and cosy room. I loved staying there. Would love to stay again if I come back.

A great little spot to stay when coming to Amsterdam. It's a short walk to the Leidsplein where you can visit the cafes or take the tram into city centre. There are restaurants nearby and busses to take you where you wish to go. The hotel is small but offers a continental breakfast from 8AM to 10AM. The front door is always open and a staff member is on duty in case you need help. They have single & double rooms which are clean and comfortable w private bathrooms & TVs. The hotel features the slowest elevator in Amsterdam and a fine cat who guards the front of the hotel. Well he may not be guarding it, he may be just hanging out, but a fine cat none the less! The prices were great and I'm sure to return sometime this year.

Voor de prijs die je betaalt, krijg je acceptabele kamer. Voor enkel even slapen/douchen prima. Gunstige ligging (voor ons: Melkweg)

Yes this hotel could do with a refresh but the location is perfect. The staff are helpful and it is an ideal place to stay if you just want a bed for the night and a decent shower. Lift is slow but works. We walked to all of the attractions and shops. Restaurants close by, sandwich shop over the road. Definitely served its purpose for a long weekend away. I was worried by others reviews but honestly there is nothing to worry about. I would recommend this hotel.

Great location for museums canal boat tours, lots of restaurant options all within walking distance

Location is pretty good

3rd floor room but email stated ground. No lounge. No tea or coffee facilities in the room. No restaurant or breakfasting areas
