Hotel Cornelisz

We really enjoyed the historic hotel, well modernized, old & beautiful building yet modernized, friendly & helpful staff. We arrived very early, and they were more than helpful and accommodating, even arranged an early check-in, coffees delivered when we didn’t have the correct change for their coffee maker, beautiful lounge with small library of travel and other books. Comfy beds & nice duvets. Definitely would stay there again!

Wonderful hotel in the Musuem Quarter! It’s near the trams and accessible to the bus that goes directly to and from the airport. Very quiet despite being close to so many dining areas and shops. Be mindful of the stairs if you choose to use them as they are steep. However, the stairs are a much quicker option if you’re leaving the hotel during peak hours and the lift is full.

Great hotel close to museum and shopping area of Amsterdam. Elevator and nice staff. Great location. Luggage storage. Quiet area at night. Would stay again

Very enjoyable stay! The lounge was spacious and beautifully decorated with a marvellous terrace.

God frokost og sentrumsnært. Små rom og smale trapper. Heisen var også liten, men ellers et flott hotell

En fantastiskt fin Lounge att vistas i.

We stayed at the Cornelisz on April 24 and 25. This is a very old, very charming hotel with an elevator...if the narrow winding staircase is challenging for you. The breakfasts were the best of any hotel we've stayed and very reasonably priced. The staff, from reception to kitchen cook, were always helpful and gracious to this only English-speaking couple. Museums, restaurants and shopping were all within a short walk. We can't say enough good things about the wonderful staff and hotel location.

Great location! Bed was comfy and there was a nice lounge in the hotel as well.

This hotel is a real hidden gem. First of all, the photo of the shop doesn’t do the hotel justice. The location is absolutely spot on, a short stroll from the canal and amongst a number of high end shops. If you are interested in the museums, you couldn’t stay much closer to the Rijksmuseum, Moco or Van Gogh’s Museum if you tried. The Heineken experience, Hard Rock Cafe, Blue Boat Canal tours are all a short walk away and Anne Frank House, the Palace and Dam Square are all walkable. There is a tram line that runs through the museum quarter that also takes you in that direction if preferred. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable. There is a nice, powerful shower, mini fridge, safe and kettle within the room. The reception staff are really friendly and helpful and make you feel very much at home. This makes the hotel have a really nice vibe. The breakfast is nice. Everything you need - nice juice, hot drinks, fruit, meat, cheese, eggs etc … This hotel is nice and quiet. If you want to spend time out of your room, there’s a nice lounge area with snack food and drinks and an outdoor terrace (pics attached). Couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough and I’ll definitely stay here again if I’m in Amsterdam.

Rooms are small but we only stayed one night. Rooms are clean. Front desk is staffed 24/7 and very accommodating. Location is walkable to most locations. It’s off the Main Street so less noisy and less foot traffic. Safe area. We did not have the breakfast nor did we access the patio area

This hotel has bed bug infestation. We realised the first day and they did refund us the booking fees. However, when told the staff about it, they replied with a “sorry” and not even looked surprised. Didn’t also want to check the room to see if there really are bugs. I was really shocked that they knew about this and still didn’t do anything about it before giving us the room. Stay away at all cost. Seems they don’t care about the health and safety and just want to make money. We also had to throw away some clothes, which the hotel has not compensated for, although the reception said they would ask the manager to contact us.

Initially read reviews, which were good and this hotel seemed ideal location. Front desk staff very friendly, BUT, got completely bitten all over by bedbugs, room 411, even took pictures and videos of the bugs in the room. Staff were sympathetic and reimbursed the stay, however, on returning home, with worsening bites, swelling, pain, blistering and itching, i went back and read many other reports of bed bugs at this hotel, even one from 2023 in same room. This is negligence of the owners to not

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel ended on a very disappointing note. On the morning of my departure, I found a bed bug in my bed, which is absolutely unacceptable in any accommodation — especially in a city like Amsterdam. It was extremely upsetting and made me worry about the possibility of bringing bed bugs into my luggage or clothing. Additionally, the night before, when I got into bed, I found my own phone charger under the sheets, as if the bed had only been made on top of it, without properly checking or changing the bedding. That raised serious concerns about cleanliness and attention to detail. When I informed the front desk upon checkout, the only response I received was: “We are really sorry.” No further explanation, no follow-up, and no offer of compensation, even though this happened literally as I was leaving. I’m sharing this in hopes that the hotel takes this feedback seriously — because cleanliness, safety and proper room hygiene should never be compromised.

Very clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. Convenient for museums. Easy walk to transportation. Very nice part of town.

Bed bugs, very, very bad

Very clean room and friendly, helpfull staff.

Bedbugs! Do not stay here! After 3 nights in this hotel I came back home with bedbug bites in my arms and neck. The first night I noted the sheets were not really clean, but I was very tired and didn’t care. The next night I saw the comforter was dirty and after the third night I saw the bites in my arms and neck! The only good thing was the location, but I do not recommend this hotel, there are more in that same area. Also, they don’t have AC, and in summer you need to leave the windows open and that area is very noisy, so overall it was an unpleasant experience.

I had a terrible experience at Hotel Cornelisz. My room had bed bugs, and I ended up with more than 15 bites, which triggered an eczema flare-up and completely disrupted my trip. I had to be moved to another hotel, spend time at a pharmacy, and deal with the stress of cleaning all my belongings. The hotel has refused to take responsibility or offer a refund, despite the room being uninhabitable. Really disappointing and not what I expected — I would not stay here again.

I got 15 bedbug bites from this hotel. If it weren’t for that it would have been just what we needed in a convenient location.

Everything was OK until we woke up with bed bugs bites everywhere! I’m pretty sure the staff knew about this, they should have closed off the rooms affected and understand that cleaning with perfumed soaps really do nothing for getting rid of bedbugs!

Room was very small, no AC. Very warm. Uncomfortable pillows.

The hotel was okay, but the room had no A/C which is thought was standard these days.

Overall it was a good place to stay with small issues in the room ( missing of the AC, windows not noise proof, fridge not cooling properly, in the bathroom vent working all the time)

The Hotel was in an excellent location to a lot of major tourist attractions and the city centre. Close to public transport (trams and metro). Bus stop for transport to and from airport (Bus 397) was only a 5 min walk away. The staff is very friendly and supportive. Great selection for breakfast. We enjoyed the shared lounge/TV area. The only downside: the room got very hot during our stay in summer. Fans were provided though.

A nice hotel in a great location! So close to all the museums and the beautiful Vondelpark, as well as plenty of shopping and dining options and tram stops. Room was clean and had everything we needed. It was a bit noisy on some nights but not much can be done about that and it didn’t bother us. Would recommend and stay here again!

Room was good, there was a lot of road noise at night. Water is hard to contain inside the shower because there is not shower door.

The location was great, however the room was actually the size of a shoe box. I did not feel it was worth the price at all, as I felt I was only paying for the location rather than the quality of the hotel.

Great hotel, giving it four stars because the bathroom was absolutely miniscule.

Location is great. Easy acces to public transportation. Walking distance to museums and attractions. You can buy a transportation card for your entire stay and its cheaper than uber or a ride to the airport. You can take the bus from the airport to the hotel. The bus stop is 3 blocks away. If you have an early flight you will need to take an uber. Public transportation doesn't start to early. You need to check their schedule. The only bummer was no a/c but they provide a big fan.

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und charmant eingerichtet. Das Personal ist stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leider befindet sich am gegenüberliegenden Gebäude eine grosse Lüftungsanlage die während während der ganzen Nacht einen dröhnenden Lärm verursachte, der auch bei geschlossenem Fenster nicht zu überhören war.

They moved us to their sister hotel NL which was farther and smaller, and just compensated us with free breakfast and one day free bike rental. They said they tried to contact us but we didn't get any email or message via the hotels.com app.

They said they tried to contact me. I got no calls or emails. Nowadays there is more than one way to contact a customer, with all the information you provide. They said there was an issue with my room and put me in another hotel not of my choice, not of the same star as them. Very unprofessional. Don’t recommend.

It was a horrible experience - we booked and paid for this hotel months ahead and not until we arrived were we told it had a sudden problem and they couldn't accommodate us. They had arranged however to put us a nearby but lesser grade hotel. We went to see and had to agree because we were tired. However, they would not reimburse us for the difference in hotel rooms. We booked a superior room and ended up with just a shabby 2-3 star hotel room. There was no breakfast in the new one. In total we paid abt 370 euro exc tax for 2 nights and the new hotel was only 120 euro per night. Yes, we have asked Hotels.com to do sth but after nego, they just said it's the hotel management and rules for no refund! Totally unacceptable. We know accidents happened but this arrangement is totally out of proportions.

Great staff and great location

Check in atrasou , tínhamos medicamentos pra ser colocados na geladeira, insulinas entre outros . Chegamos cansados , viajem longa . Nos dias seguintes o frigobar também não funcionou, a funcionária ou gerente disse isto é o de menos . Não não é pra pessoas diabéticas dependentes de insulina que precisam de refrigeração e acondicionamento ideal . Triste, pouco empático e amadorismo em alto grau

Great staff. Helpful.

Amei ficar no hotel Cornelisz. É a minha 5a vez em Amsterdam (a primeira nesse hotel) e pretendo voltar a ficar aqui nas próximas vezes. Destaco o gentil atendimento na recepção (todas as pessoas, mas especialmente a Mia). Também as pessoas que fazem o serviço de quarto, inclusive um homem que se prontificou a limpar o quarto mesmo no período da tarde. A localização do Cornelisz é simplesmente PERFEITA. A 5 minutos a pé da Leidsplein (uma das praças com o maior agito noturno e também de onde saem os Trams 2 e 12 que vão até a Centraal Station) e para o outro lado a 03 minutos da Praça dos Museus (Rijks e Van Gogh). Cama confortável, frigobar vazio (compramos coisas no supermercado Albert Heijn que fica na Leidsplein e levamos para comer no quarto), chuveiro bom, cofre, secador de cabelo, cabides para pendurarmos as roupas... Enfim, super recomendo e pretendo voltar!

Everything was fine till the moment I left hotel. I realized I left my headphones in the room called reception and asked them about check my room they lied nothing was left there. Which was a lie because I could still see my headphones on Apple radar they was left in the room and I remembered I left them with charger on the side table. Eventually after a few hours (ended their shift?)they changed location. So finally I ended with no headphones and somebody (likely staff member) just simply stole it. And I can still see location patethic!!!

The staff were the absolute best! Sweet, friendly and communicative! Highly recommend this hotel - perfect location, clean rooms!

Location is amazing, close to public transportation, park, restaurants and a lot of other attractions. Room was clean and cozy and the staff is exceptional, they were very helpful and polite. The hotel also has a great lobby/ lounge area that you can use for relaxing or even working.

Excellent location within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and parks

Centro facilmente raggiungibile. Camere adeguate ma bagno molto piccolo.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to Amsterdam visitors. Located within a short walk of all the major museums, on perhaps the fanciest shopping street in the city, and convenient to many tram lines, the hotel offers comfortable rooms (European in size) and a delicious, ample buffet breakfast. The staff is friendly and happy to help. The street can get rather noisy on weekend nights, and there's a good deal of construction in the area at present, but those are the only drawbacks. We were there four nights, which cost about $1400 American. I thought it was well worth it.

Fantastic location on a very high end shopping street just steps from the best museums. Nice room with comfortable bed. They do have a lift and luggage can be stored for pickup after checking out. Rating would be 5 stars if the rooms had AC; it was quite warm and we needed to use the plug-in fan and crack the windows to be comfortable.

Location is great. Easy acces to public transportation. Walking distance to museums and attractions. You can buy a transportation card for your entire stay and its cheaper than uber or a ride to the airport. You can take the bus from the airport to the hotel. The bus stop is 3 blocks away.

Elegant and peaceful hotel in a perfect location. Mere steps from Rijksmuseum and easy access to major tram and bus lines (including the 397 which goes to and from Schiphol airport). Very safe neighbourhood - felt more than comfortable walking back at night. My room was a standard single European hotel room, which means it’s very small, however, it was immaculately clean and comfortable. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you are a walker/cyclist and don’t want to take public transportation, you are only a 20-25 minute walk from major attractions and neighbourhoods. Will absolutely stay here again. Ps- the staff that checked me in were very lovely and even had my room ready a half hour before check in time. Wonderful.

Excellent location, with in walking distance to all the major museums. Trams stop next to hotel as well. Short and nice walk to most beautiful are of town called Jordaan, or the bit more rugged but trendy De Pijp. And if you are at all used to walking places in a big city, also it walkable to the old city center De Wallen as well. Boat trips depart right next to the hotel as well. So location wise this place really has value to the money you pay. Place itself is now new and shiny, but still nice and not so outdated either. Clean, helpful, easy. Very happy with my stay. Paper walls as they say, but the crowd is mostly peoplenwho are past the party age so you mainly hear it when people move around the halls and it can be fixed with earplugs.

Very central, close to museums and public transit

The staff was wonderful. We arrived with a bouquet of tulips which they put in a vase for us. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide selection of items. The best scrambled eggs ever. The woman running breakfast was welcoming and we felt like regulars after a day. Breakfast very reasonable and convenient. Location central to the museum quarter, literally around the corner from the Rijksmuseum. Excellent Indonesian restaurant across the street (make reservations).

Localização fantástica. Tivemos problemas com o mini bar que não funcionava, mas os funcionários ofereceram o refrigerador do térreo. De resto, a estadia foi bastante agradável: wifi funciona bem, quarto com tamanho razoável, bom café da manhã também.

Excelente place. Delicious breakfast.

Sehr nettes kleines hotel. In der Nähe von bekannten Museen. Rijksmuseum ist gleich um die Ecke. Sauber und ruhig. Freundliches Personal. Nicht weit von der strassenbahn entfernt. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet.

L'hôtel est extrêmement bien placé, à quelques minutes à pied des principaux musées. Petit déjeuner bien fourni mais un peu cher.

Rooms were small. Breakfast was great. No central air from what we could tell

Lovely hotel!! Amazing location, friendly staff, good breakfast.

Great location - nice good quality breakfast

This hotel is really well situated in the museum quarter. It's in a safe and relatively peaceful location in for the middle of Amsterdam. The room was comfortable and clean with a lovely hot shower. Breakfast didn't have the widest choice but there was still plenty to chose from and it was of good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel muito bom, pequeno almoço muito agradável, apesar de ter carpete é muito limpo, eles usam aspirador todos os dias. A localização é excelente, próximo aos museus e com transporte público acessível as proximidades do hotel, que lhe leva a qualquer ponto da cidade. Recomendo.
