After reading the previous reviews, we were pretty confident about staying here. You should be too.... Location... It is in a really good spot...on the right side of Dam Square. It's on a quiet but safe street. The trams are very near and very regular. we used to get the 16 or 25 (i think) from the other side of... more

Being our first time in amsterdam, i think we picked the perfect hotel, in a great location just close enough to the centre, all the action of the centre was located 10-15 mins walk along one long road (and the heineken experience literaly around the corner) cutting out the need for public transport. the hotel was very well kept, the... more

Room wasn't amazing - in the basement and slightly damp. Friendly staff and a small bar area to have drinks. OK location but did do a lot of walking. Near the Heiniken brewery... more

Previously in Amsterdam we have stayed close in near Central Station but this time went a little further out on good advice. This hotel is a straight line 10 minute stroll along an attractive canalside to Rembrandt Square - and from there 5 more minutes to city centre. The hotel staff are welcoming and helpful: our room was clean and... more

When you arrive in Amsterdam take the train from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station and then get the number 4 tram this stops at Fredrik Plein which is about 2 minutes from the hotel - really easy to find. The hotel... more

A short walk along the canals brought us to the city centre but several trams were also available. The Hotel Nicolaas Witsen staff were friendly and obliging and the price was sensible. The Connexxions Airport Shuttle (very reliable) delivered... more

Clean and comfortable with a very friendly and helpful staff. Our only intention was to sleep and this hotel was perfectly acceptable in that respect. If you're looking for luxury--look elsewhere. Our room was quite dorm-like. Exceptionally clean. Breakfast was basic but served quickly. A bit difficult to find as their website featured only driving directions. Check with the hotel... more

OK so it's not the Ritz but both myself and my boyfriend found the hotel and staff pleasant. It was a little difficult to find on our first day (the cycle taxi we took had to circle twice) but there was a sign off of the main road. The location of the hotel was perfect for ambling around the city.... more

it is very difficult to find this hotel and even the people who lives around it, dont know it! and the street where it is the hotel is not so nice like in the picture. the room is okey, is clean, tiny, has a nice bathroom, but the walls are very thin so you can listen almost everything and i... more
