Hotel La Belle Vue

They have bed bugs!! The 2nd floor smelled like sewer, there were no towels in our room on the first day, we had to ask for them. There was hardly any shower pressure. You have to walk two flights to check in at the hotel next door then walk down the street to walk up more steps to the actual hotel.

Within 15 min walk to station. Decent eateries not far away. Room clearly had not been cleaned properly before our arrival. pastry crumbs on bedside table and floor beside the bed. The bath towels were old and thin. The lack of a lift seriously detracts from this place, the stairs are horrendous with 2 heavy suitcases. Does not suit older people like us. Very expensive for what you get.

Too many stairs. Need to hiking. If have heavy baggage dont go there at all. Facilities was not good. Location was almost good

Review: My stay here was a bit challenging, so I’d suggest keeping expectations realistic if you decide to book. The room itself wasn’t terrible, but several details made the overall experience less comfortable. 1. Stairs: As is common in Dutch houses, the stairs are very steep. Carrying luggage up can be difficult. 2. Entrance: The main entrance could use more attention and care, as it didn’t feel very clean or welcoming. 3. Reception: There isn’t a dedicated reception inside the building. Check-in requires going to another building and navigating more steep stairs. 4. Room size: The room was extremely small, with little space to move around and only one power outlet available. 5. Bathroom: The motion-sensor light switched off too quickly, which was inconvenient. 6. Common areas: They weren’t dirty, but there was a noticeable odor that wasn’t very pleasant. 7. Facilities: The vending machine on site was old and out of service. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, though there was only so much they could do given the limitations of the property. In summary, this place might work if you’re traveling on a tight budget or only need a short stay, but don’t expect a particularly comfortable or welcoming environment.

Keine deutschen Sender im TV. Eine kaputte Fernbedienung. Eine kaputte Balkontür. Ein mini Bad, dass nach dem Duschen noch stundenlang unter Wasser steht. Getränkeautomat und Kaffeemaschine im Vorraum - beides außer Betrieb. Nettes Personal. Zentral gelegen. Zum Schlafen reicht es.

Location is perfect for just walking around and lots of locations to eat near, we stayed in the attic so the 4 flights of the steepest steps ever every night was a lot but not too bad, definitely wouldn’t book if you have knee, leg or hip issues. Rooms were clean and maintained everyday, would stay here again.

property very basic, the location is excellent, please note it does not have a lift and there are very steep stairs to get to accommodation rooms. Staff were helpful.

I wish the state of the stars were included somewhere in the booking. me and my spouse are young and fit and it was difficult for us to get to our room. Also the reception/ check in was confusing. but besides that it was a great place to stay and location.

The room and staff were fine, but the wifi was so poor only my phone could use it. Two lights didn't work, so I turned on the TV to supplement the lighting. Well located except for having to climb a narrow stairwell to the 4th floor. And it was odd that reception was at a different address a few doors down. Maybe it was because of the weekend, but I paid less for more comfortable accomodations in Brussels and London. Still, it was the cheapest option and I would probably stay there again.

matelas extrêmement dur, lumière de la salle de bain qui ne s'éteint jamais (même pas d'interrupteur), lavabo a dessus des toilettes (très très inconfortable), escaliers très très pentus et pas d'ascenseur, pas de service se dépôt des bagages (enfin si mais aucune surveillance donc risques de vol), ALARME INCENDIE QUI SE DÉCLENCHE EN PLEINE NUIT PLUSIEURS FOIS EN 3 JOURS. Bref, n'y allez pas.

You have to walk two flights to check in at the hotel next door then walk down the street to walk up more steps to the actual hotel.

the location was good. stairs nightmare- 73 steep stairs to our room. be prepared!! smallest room ever. The worst part was that we were BITTEN ALIVE by BED BUGS! honestly covered in bites. please don’t stay here.

The staff were lovely but the room/bathroom were moldy and dusty, the bed had quite a bit of hair in the bed and and awful smell from the drains

We stayed on the 3rd floor room 302. The sewage smelled strong on arrival to the room, and the room next door was propped open with no one staying in it. The next morning I woke up, I was covered in bites, my partner counted 78 bites, no exaggeration, of course I thought it was moskito bites, bought some antihistamine and cream and carried on with the holiday. returning home to the u.k the bites still looked angry and not normal, went to a pharmacist first who said book an urgent doctors appointment, doctor said bed bug bites. THIS HOTEL IS INFESTED WITH NESTS OF BED BUGS, THE DOCTOR SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN SOMEONE COVERED THIS BADL

Pas de wifi fonctionnelle, escalier dangereux, espaces communs d'une propreté douteuse, la chambre présentait des signes d'insalubrité, aucune insonorisation, odeur d'égout et fuite. Etc Je n'ai pas eu envie de laisser mes affaires trainer dans la chambre car je n'étais pas à l'aise. Les photos présentées sur le site ne sont pas représentatives du lieu. C'est certes proche du centre ville mais nous n'avons fait qu'une nuit au lieu de 3, car nous n'aurions pas profité du séjour. Aucun remboursement n'a pu se réaliser.

Don’t stay in this hotel, avoid at all cost. The pictures are inaccurate. The pics posted by Expedia are either the hotel 20 years ago or a sister renovated hotel. The area is currently renovated with a lot of roads work, juggling the homeless people was the beginning. When we open the front door, the foul humid smells were poignant. On the first floor, where our room was located, the dust and the shredded wall paper was visible. When we enter the room, the door was already opened as well as the window to certainly cover the vile smells, the room was filthy, stain in the toilets, more than dated shelf, amenities that didn’t work. Two lonely hangers to put your clothes, and nowhere to recharge your phones than the floors. The bed sheets smelled. And all that some something close to 200 GBP a night. This is really greed. Hotel was full and not able to give another room, and they also offer the refund of our remaining 2 nights on the Saturday morning if we vacated the room by 12 with nowhere to go. It really felt like you don’t like it so just get out, that’s the way we deal with the issue. The maintenance guy to try to fix the issue and house keeping on the Saturday and the bed sheets when from strange to bleach smells. House keeping didn’t do a good job mapping the floor as the cigarette wrapper were still under the beds. Expedia customer service helped quickly and responsively, but nothing came out of it. Expedia must vet their properties for accuracy. We were missleading

A mi esposa la picaron los chinches no lo recomiendo

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay. It was a large clean room, which was cleaned every day that we were there, with new towels provided. The people working on reception were really nice and the location was absolutely perfect and excellent for exploring the city! We would stay again when coming to Amsterdam!!

The mattress was infested with bed bugs I couldn't sleep here and I'm now trying to find an email address to get a refund.

The entire stay was ruined when we found bedbugs. The hotel management have been unhelpful. Offered to refund 50% of our cost but have since reneged on this.

Only complaint would be numerous doors being slammed throughout night which would echo up to the rooms and wake us up

This hotel had no elevator and the stairs were very narrow and many. It was very challenging with luggage. The reception clerk told us that we had to make sure that the bathroom door was closed when we took a shower or the fire alarm will go off. My husband used the bathroom and took a shower and the interior light (motion activated) turned off 3 times while he was in there. At least they had a coffee machine but the room was very basic and cheap looking more like a youth hostel than a hotel. The front doors to the rooms are spring loaded and our neighbour left the room maybe once an hour, letting the door slam shut which was very noisy and disturbing. The hotel was close to the areas that we wanted to visit which was a plus, but the room looked nothing like the one advertised. Not at all impressed with this hotel. Very disappointed.

We stayed in a room which was described as with no view. It looked bright on the pics so I thought it had a window that was maybe looking at a wall or a bin yard. But it actually had no window. So I felt very vulnerable in case of fire as I only had 1 exit. The lights were very dim also so it felt even worse. We had one big and 1 small towel for 2 of us. The floor was lifting from where it had been left repeatedly wet and there was a putrid smell. It was less so in the bathroom so it wasn’t from the drains, we couldn’t figure out what it was. The stairs are very steep but I think it’s like that all over Amsterdam. I’m not saying don’t book this place but I’d recommend a different room. The lady on the reception a few doors down was nice.

A ausência de ar condicionado ou ventilador reduziu o conforto durante o verão. Também foi difícil fazer o check in em um prédio diferente do quarto, com grande quantidade de escadas a subir. Limpeza impecável todos os dias e atendimento ótimo na recepção. Chuveiro quente e cama confortável.

The bed was rock solid, window closed but didn’t lock so was able to be opened from the outside plus only way of opening the curtains was by opening the window, bathroom had a pungent smell to it and very small a positive was the location.

Room and bedding was clean, although doors and woodwork needed repainting, and bathroom tiles were not done well. The additional door bolt didn't work. Lamp didn't work. TV was useless. Stairs were very steep and there were so many, and you have to go up 2 sets to check in, back down, and then up (for me) another 4 sets to get to room. The bed was rock hard. The bedding and towels were very clean and changed daily. Apart from one wall of tiling, and a weird tap design, the bathroom was decent and modern. Decent location. 20 minute walk to train station. Close to shops and city centre.

The room and staff were fine, but the wifi was so poor only my phone could use it. Two lights didn't work, so I turned on the TV to supplement the lighting. Well located except for having to climb a narrow stairwell to the 4th floor. And it was odd that reception was at a different address a few doors down. Maybe it was because of the weekend, but I paid less for more comfortable accomodations in Brussels and London. Still, it was the cheapest option and I would probably stay there again.

Waivered between 2 and 3 stars- the room was weird. The bed was 2 twin matresses shoved together so we had to keep pushing the bed back together. The 4 flights of stairs are killer and the room had a weird wet metal smell. The first night was freezing and the second was boiling hot. The walls are so thin that we could hear other people in other rooms using their bathrooms. The tv only showed 4 channels and 2 of them were just dutch radio DJs doing their jobs live and one was the same Christmas concert on repeat. Okay enough but in my 4th trip to the city i would book elsewhere.

There are 73 steep narrow steps up to the room. A nightmare with heavy suitcases. We asked for a twin bed room and got a single with an odd divan which had to serve for a bed. Nice back garden which was quiet.

Enjoyed staying here. Walking distance from everything. Really nice room i had . It was the delux double with a balcony. I look forwards to returning in the near future

Had a great stay and will return. Great location and amazing customer service.

The front desk lady completely rude, the room smell like public toilet, the lights didn’t turn off, inside the shower the smell of pee was disgusting, horrible staying. Would not recommend.

Room wasn’t clean, no towels, smelled like freshly smoked cigarettes but I asked for a non-smoking room. The front desk staff was nice and they’re available 24/7.

The amazing reception staff were exceptional in the dleivery of customer service. They were kind and accomodating and went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. No matter the time of day or who was at the counter, the level of service was friendly, interractive, informative and helpful.

Other than the very steep stairs to reception and up to the rooms , everything thing else was good , staff very helpful

The property was close to the centre of Amsterdam, but to get to our room we had to climb steep and dangerous staircases with two large heavy bags with no help. The people at reception which was a couple of doors down and a mountain goat climb to get up there were unbelievably non hospitable, off hand and rude. Not a good experience.

The room and staff were fine, but the wifi was so poor only my phone could use it. Two lights didn't work, so I turned on the TV to supplement the lighting.

I accidentally booked as non refundable as I was making several Bookings. When I realised about the steep Steps, as I did not realise this when booking, I contacted the hotel Straight away. This was the next day. I appealed to them to refund us our money as I had booked 3 months ahead. They would Not budge my husband is waiting for a Knee reconstruction surgery and would not be able to handle the steep Steps. They took the money out of our acct within the week. Two weeks before going I appealed again and asked if we could have a lower floor as my husbands knee was worse. Again the answer was no. They suck At customer service as they could have easily rebooked this room.We ended up Forfeiting the money as we felt it was just too dangerous to negotiate the steps. We stayed somewhere else. Yes, I know it was my booking mistake but where is the compassion?

Area was good for this hotel. Hotel has treacherous stairs..could not imagine what you'd do with large luggage, there is no elevator. We struggled with our small carryons. The front desk staff will not help you with your luggage. Luggage storage is available but it is not locked in any way. The room was dirty, hair still in one of the beds but we couldn't switch rooms because there was two another available with enough beds. Bathroom is dirty and they don't refill the soap when they do the daily cleaning

Hermoso lugar y hermosa vista. Muy bien situado

Steep stairs, clean rooms, friendly staff, perfect location

Property was exactly as advertised. Old, steep stairs and small rooms. Very good location

Personale cordiale,gentile e disponibile. Struttura silenziosa e ben situata a neanche 500 mt da Piazza Dam. Posizione centrale,trasporti pubblici a portata di mano. Negozio di souvenir,noleggio bici e parking bag, bar appena subito fuori dall' hotel. Ci ritorneremo volentieri.

Located on the upper floors of an older building so the stairs were quite steep and a little awkward with a suitcase. Good central location near lots of dining and bars and only a short walk to tram ride to the train station

Location is perfect for just walking around and lots of locations to eat near, we stayed in the attic so the 4 flights of the steepest steps ever every night was a lot but not too bad, definitely wouldn’t book if you have knee, leg or hip issues. Rooms were clean and maintained everyday, would stay here again.

This property is ideally located and walking distance to everything Amsterdam-central. Would happily stay here again, the hotel was great value for the location and the staff were absolutely fantastic and helpful.

The staff at the hotel were exceptionally kind and helpful, providing great customer service throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the quality of the rooms did not meet expectations. While the pricing is affordable, the accommodations reflect this—rooms were quite dated and dim, and the actual appearance did not match the photos shown online. The hotel is conveniently located near major attractions, which is a definite plus. However, the surrounding area felt unsafe at times, particularly in the evenings. Overall, the hospitality was excellent, but the condition of the rooms and the location may be considerations for future guests.

The hotel was in the same group as Mr Jordaan, which is excellent, so we expected something of similar quality. Alas, it wasn't. We were not aware in advance that access was only up a steep,narrow staircase - 37 steps, no lift. Staff were not helpful or understanding. The bed was comfortable, but teh ensuite poor, and ventilation availabe only through a full height french window onto a scruffy balcony, overlooking a main road. The location is convenient - easy walking from Centraal station - and there is a reasonalbe private cafe below for a light breakfast.

tea is free but coffee is not.

Keine deutschen Sender im TV. Eine kaputte Fernbedienung. Eine kaputte Balkontür. Ein mini Bad, dass nach dem Duschen noch stundenlang unter Wasser steht. Getränkeautomat und Kaffeemaschine im Vorraum - beides außer Betrieb. Nettes Personal. Zentral gelegen. Zum Schlafen reicht es.

Its poorly managed as part of another Hotel, to say the furniture is severely outdated and bed/mattress was similar consistency to concrete. The facilities do not work and vending machine will take your money but has no goods.

Direkt im Erdgeschoss gibt es zwei Cafés.

The experience at this hotel was something I'd expect from a youth hostel, not a "boutique" hotel charging over $100 a night. We stayed 5 nights in two of the four attic rooms. My room was the one pictured in the listing, but my companion's room was much smaller, barely large enough to fit his "queen" bed (which was actually two twin mattresses together). His room had a fan, but no garbage can, and my room had a tiny garbage in the bathroom but no fan. The windows in my room did not shut and every morning I woke up covered in bug bites. The shower was incredibly awkward with low pressure and no curtain, and the entire bathroom smelled like a sewer all the time. Lastly, the listing does not mention that these rooms are up five flights of very steep, narrow stairs, so if you have limited mobility you should avoid this hotel. The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful - when I told them that there was no mug for my hot water pot, they gave me a red Solo cup (it was a moot point anyway, since there was no tea or coffee offered), and the next day they left some paper cups with sugar packets. They did change the sheets and offer fresh towels every day, which was nice. And the location is very centrally located. Overall, I would only recommend this hotel to students or young people looking for a place to crash after a night out, and even then only if there are not more affordable options available. And if you're the kind of person who doesn't skip leg day.
