Vi (to mødre med hver vår tenårignsdatter), bodde her i 3 netter. Pene, rene og stille rom. Gode senger. Stille område av byen. Utvalget av frokost var ikke stort, savnet eggerør, bacon o.l. men det som var der var godt og delikat. Vi savnet også et felles sitteområde (bar, lounge e.l.) hvor vi kunne være om kvelden. Men baren var knøtteliten og innbød ikke til hyggelig opphold. De ansatte var hyggelige og tjenstevillige.

Average hotel. Very friendly reception staff. Nice bathroom. Bedroom has almost no space to place clothes. Room service almost non existant.. didn't wash coffee mugs and made beds like a 10 year old with attitude. Bar area is not really sociable space. IBIS next door looks like a palace in comparison. Breakfast ok

Frühstücksraum war sehr überfüllt, man bekommt trotz vorheriger Zeitangabe keinen Platz und muss warten. Zimmerreinigung während des Aufenthaltes nur das absolut nötigste, gebrauchte Tassen und verschmutztes Badezimmer usw. wurden ignoriert.

En se couchant à 22:00, ma femme remarque des chaussettes sales au fond du lit. C'est répugnant. Les draps n'avaient donc pas été changés, pire: ils donnaient l'impression d'avoir été changés mais ils étaient sales en réalité. Il a fallu 1h30 pour avoir les draps changés donc coucher 23:30 (et encore les draps ne correspondaient pas au lit). L'hôtel n'a rien fait pour compenser ça. On aurait apprécié un dédommagement, un mot d'excuse, une boîte de chocolat... Rien. Ils nous ont seulement dit que c'est très étrange et que les draps étaient censés être changés entre chaque client. Pas les nôtres visiblement. Je ne conseille à personne de venir dans cet hôtel qui ne garantit pas la propreté des lits, et ne sait pas gérer ce genre de désagrément inacceptable. Quelle est la garantie que vos draps soient propres si les nôtres étaient sales ?

Pretty standard for a holiday inn express. We found a silverfish in a bed one night, they changed our room promptly. Was a good budget hotel, nothing fancy, just basic, reasonably clean other than the bug in the bed and a few crumbs and bits around the room that weren’t cleaned up. Pretty normal for a holiday inn express

Staff were friendly and welcoming, hotel was clean and had good amenities. Was close to all places we wanted to visit . Most were within 15 minutes walk. Only issue we had was we were on the second floor at the front next to a busy road so was extremely noisy, window in room had dropped and seal was poor so was drafty and noisy in the room due to this.

The staff was excellent and it very clean. The only downside was the room was small and there was no dresser or place for your luggage. We had to place our luggage upright and put on the bed anytime we needed something. But the breakfast was good and we felt the walking distance to anything was great.

The hotel itself was fine. It was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was uncomfortable and I was disappointed that I paid extra for a “canal view” and our room was on the basement floor. If I stood on my tip toes I was able to see outside the window and we were eye level to the water. That wasn’t the way it was advertised and I felt a little swindled. My advice is don’t spend extra money on the view and you’ll be great.

Everything was good. Only thing I will mention is the room design/ standard of build. The window is obsructed by the curtains causing the curtain hooks to become detached or broken. In the bathroom the towel hooks are loose, one fell off. The toilet roll holder is loose and might fall off. The shower screen leaks at the bottom of the door.

A pesar de tener respuesta positiva desde la recepción, nunca cambiaron la temperatura, que no superaba los 16 grados Celsius. No se puede estar en una habitación con ese nivel de frío y me obligó a salir fuera del hotel para trabajar en condiciones adecuadas.

Air conditioning was awesome- it was hot and humid in Amsterdam and so refreshing to walk into the room and feel the cool! Breakfast was included self serve buffet - plenty to choose from and great start to day-front desk was extremely helpful - recommending places to eat, ordering taxis for us, help with luggage. Only complaint was we lived out of our suitcases for 3 days as there were zero drawers or shelves- we used the ironing board to hold up one of the suitcases-the closet was open shelf with 8 hangers in a 15” wide space. The beds and pillows were wonderful. Location was great as very walkable city !

The reception staff were very welcoming and always happy to help us in any way throughout our stay. Our room was spotlessly clean, with a very comfy bed and we weren’t aware of any noise throughout the night. There was a small area in which you could hang some clothes, but no drawers or storage space to unpack our cases ( not really a problem for a couple of nights). Breakfast was a lovely selection of cereals, pastries & cakes, rolls, cheese& ham, fruit, yoghurts, boiled eggs and freshly made pancakes. The breakfast room did get busy - you needed to pre book a time slot- but we were always able to get seated. On one occasion we did have to have 2 tables of 2, rather than a table of 4, but that was because some couples had sat at the larger tables. On the morning that we had an early start we were able to preorder a packed breakfast. The hotel was well situated, about a 15 minute walk from Centraal Station and within easy walking distance of the main sights. The hotel did have a small bar and seating area, but more suited to couples rather than larger groups or families. All in all a very comfortable hotel and a perfect base from which to explore Amsterdam for a couple of days.
