Hotel The Bird

Sengen hadde to madrasser som gled i fra hverandre. Burde vært en stor madrass på toppen.

Very disappointing stay Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was very disappointing. We booked a room for two people, but when we arrived, we discovered that the bed was only approximately 150 cm wide and that there was only one duvet. We contacted the hotel about this, and eventually we were given an additional duvet, which we appreciated. However, this did not solve the main issue of having such a small bed for two adults. What was particularly surprising was that the mattresses were covered in plastic. This made the bed uncomfortable and gave the room a rather unpleasant and cheap feel. When staying at a hotel, we expect a proper and comfortable bed — not mattresses wrapped in plastic. We had been looking forward to our stay in Amsterdam, but unfortunately the hotel became a significant part of what made the trip less enjoyable. We also found it disappointing that the hotel was unable to offer a better solution when we raised our concerns during our stay. Overall, the experience did not live up to our expectations, and we would not choose to stay here again.

Fantastic little hotel , right on one of the main canals . Close to everything , having a kettle and free coffee and tea in the room was a bonus. The room was small , but clean and tidy . The hotel has no restaurant for breakfast , but this isn’t a problem as there are cafes everywhere. I would definitely stay here again

This location is on the canal. There are 2 rooms on each floor that face other directions. Our room ending with a 4 faced the courtyard with a large neon billboard glowing until midnight. We were there during the heatwave and our room was a sauna when we arrived. We had to request an extra room key to activate the AC while we were away to cool down our room - which it did during the 90+ degree days! We only used the room to sleep. There are minimal amenities with this hotel which we knew in advance and wasn't a consideration in choosing this hotel. The location of the hotel was convenient. Front staff was accommodating with helping us cool down the room and it was refreshing to come back to our room after a searingly hot day. Room size was a bit tight. Bathroom door couldn't fully open because of the bed location. I would stay here again, but look more closely at alternatives. One thing to expect during your stay in Amsterdam (besides the bicycles!) is the large garbage containers around the city are emptied by people looking for returnable bottles and all the garbage ends on the streets to blow around. The seagulls have figured this out and further spread the garbage around the streets and sidewalk. It's shocking how bad this is. This is a beautiful historic city with many treasures reflecting its past, and I would expect the leaders to take a little more pride in embracing that for residents and visitors.

The room was the size of a walk-in-closet. We barely could squeeze into toilet seat. The beds were the size of a child's twin size. There was really no place to put your luggage except on the floor. Location was ok. I wish I would have booked somewhere else even if I paid a little more.
