Amsterdam Downtown Hotel

This hotel is more like a hostel. There are steep stairs to the 1st and 2nd floors. It is situated in a bustling street around 1.8km from Amsterdam Central Station. There are many shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff are helpful but only in a perfunctory manner. The hotel rooms are very small and closely situated together. They are clean and comfortable enough however. Clean towels are provided daily. TV and small electric fan also included. There is no complimentary bottled water so you will need to buy your own. Now to the negatives of staying here … if you are looking for a quiet place to rest for the night do not choose this hotel. The rooms are not well soundproofed and there is a lot of people to-ing and fro-ing late at night, knocking on doors, opening and shutting doors, talking loudly in the corridor, not to mention thumping dance music going on into the small hours from adjacent rooms. A lack of consideration for other hotel guests seemingly prevails. Overall, this is more like an overpriced hostel than a mid-priced hotel, and if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to sleep then you should avoid booking here.

Unfortunately, I was placed in the basement level room, I had a window with some sky and sunlight, but it faced another room, so the curtains had to be closed. The room was so small, there was no space to open a suitcase. The bed was comfortable though.

Good is very nice

The service was very good, nice personnel at the front desk, the room was cleaned every day and so on. Very good location near the city center and therefore I can kinda understand the price of the room etc My room was on the 3rd floor, the elevator only goes to the 2nd floor, not really a big deal but a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, the room itself felt clean and fresh, nothing to complain about there besides that the shower pressure was insanly low, sometimes the water just stopped running at all during a shower... But the big issue is the size of the room itself and what you get for over a €100 a night, I booked a single room for one person, and the room feels like it's built around the frame of the bed, the room is incredible small, smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in and the most expensive one as well. The bathroom is so small that the toilet is placed just behind the sink so you barely have room to actually sit on the toilet, and the glass door to the shower can only be opened on one side... the side where the sink is so you have about 30cm of room to get out of the shower because the sink is in the way... Like I said, the room felt clean and fresh, but it is ridiculously small. Overall a good stay, the room was good enough for sleeping in but for the size of the room and what you pay for it doesn't really add up, over a €100 a night for a room barely bigger than the bed itself is kinda weird.

Had a great experience at the downtown hotel great staff very helpful and excellent location
