Hotel berhampiran De Rustende Tuinder, Amsterdam

The room was well furnished, the bed was reasonably comfortable (although we had to both ask for another pillow as they were quite flat). The bathroom was huge - and they provided you with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc. and a hairdryer. The room was tidy and kept clean each day, (although sometimes not fully restocked - for example not enough tea bags/toiletries refreshed!). It had a Nespresso machine (although instructions would be handy as it took us a while to sort boiling water out!) The location was close to a few supermarkets - one next door, (handy since you have a fridge in your room), a few cafes, a bar and a few places to eat. Its a 2minute walk from a tram/bus stop which took you into the centre in 15-20 minutes. They also had bike hire there for a reasonable price, so you could use that to get into the centre. The staff were friendly and I would highly recommend for the price!

This hotel was truly lovely. It was my second visit to Amsterdam and my 3 friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. The city centre was walkable (about 15-20 minutes) or you could get the tram which was just at the end of the street. Tram tickets can be super cheap if you buy a 24/48/72 hour travel card so hopping on and off became very easy and natural. There are cafes within 5 minutes walk and the hotel also had a cosy cafe on its ground floor. There is also a bike shop close by which was lovely to hire bikes and cycle around Vondelpark (10 minute cycle). The staff were incredibly friendly, the room was clean and we had a very comfortable stay. For 4 of us, the value for money was excellent. I love Amsterdam as a city and would happily return for a 3rd time and stay here. I couldn’t find any fault in this hotel. Thank you for a brilliant stay!

It had all the basic amenities needed. It’s a simple hotel to sleep and travel easily via metro. It has a 24/7 pizza machine at reception so don’t worry about getting hungry! The only thing I really did not like was the high pillows so if you’ve got a sensitive neck for sleep then I don’t recommend.

Close to main train/bus/trolley station, about 15 min walk or less than 5 minute trolley ride. Staff was very nice and helpful. My credit card got declined several times on their automated check in and I was about to have a nervous breakdown. The lady at front desk helped me, first of all, to calm down and then used the card at her desk where it worked just fine. We checked in at 4 pm and fortunately for us our room wasn't ready and we got upgraded. Breakfast was delicious but if you don't eat much, like my daughter, its a bit too much/pricey. They allowed us to store our bags after our check out and held it until it was time for our bus at midnight, they also let us hang out in their lobby/computer area until it was time to go. Perfect location, clean, friendly staff.

Amsterdam hotels are known to be very expensive, especially at key times of the year, so trying to find something of value, and comfort is always a big ask. The NL Hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the centre of the city and is a converted house. The space has been very well utilized, however it has some of the steepest stairs I have ever experienced! Not a problem for me, but could be a challenge for others. It does have an elevator you can use with your bags, but it's big enough for one person. My room was very small. Surprisingly, the bathroom was a decent size. The main benefit here is that you have your own air conditioning unit in the room which was very welcome. There's a Nespresso machine, however, just two pods per day is your limit! There's also a wall mounted TV and a small wardrobe. However in my room there was nowhere to sit apart from the bed. There is a panel on the wall that you can select whether you want your room made up or not, which is very, very bright at night, and be warned the stairs from the ground floor to the first are incredibly noisy, so if you are in a first floor room, you will hear plenty of noise from people coming up the stairs. Now I know why complimentary ear plugs are provided. Fresh towels are provided daily if you want them which was a bonus.

Eccentric place: one of two “hotels” located in what is essentially a building of residential apartments. The Amadi has the reception on the 4th floor and our room was on the 2nd. Stairs/lift take you past residential floors. Pros: Manager was really helpful when we needed to get to the local hospital. Reasonably good location just outside the main canal ring but within walking distance of everything, with tram stops nearby. Local area has plenty of eateries. Room quiet and bed comfortable. Cons: Over-priced for what it is - feels more 3 star than 4 star. No breakfast facilities (though plenty of places nearby) Odd-shaped room with barely any space on one side of the bed. Temperature control on aircon didn’t seem to do anything. Coffee machine didn’t work - a few drips after a lot of straining. And nothing for non-coffee drinkers. List of TV channels didn’t fit with actual channels. BBC1 and BBC2 listed but we never found them. Bathroom poorly designed - a small circular sink with a really small shelf. A slight smell of drains.

The good: First and foremost, the staff. All very friendly doing their best to help with any problem that may arise, whether it has to do with your stay at he hotel or not. Good location, close to the museum quarter, five minutes' walk to the tram station that goes to Dam square and the train station, in a quiet residential street. OK: Rooms are very small and compact, but that seems to be the general situation in Amsterdam, and if you're out all day seeing the sights then it's not a deal breaker. The bad: Housekeeping needs to get their act together. Checked in, went up to the room, entered the bathroom and was greeted by a very strong smell of mildew or something similar. Fortunately I was immediately given another room without any argument. Went up to the room, entered the bathroom, and noticed that one of the overhead lamps was not working. Took a shower and found that there's a drainage problem with the water draining so slowly that I had to shut the water flow so as not to have water overflowing onto the floor. Nothing tragic, and it was all fixed the next day, but one would think that the job of housekeeping is to take care of these problems BEFORE the guest checks in, not after.

Boaz was an outstanding help during our recent stay at the hotel. He was always there to help us with anything we needed and was very knowledgeable about all of the hotel's amenities. He was very accommodating and provided us with all the information we needed to make sure our stay was perfect. Boaz was always friendly and professional and made us feel at home. He was also very helpful in suggesting nearby attractions and restaurants. We were very pleased with the overall experience at the hotel and we highly recommend Boaz and his service. Five stars!

We had a really lovely experience at de bedstee which exceeded our expectations. The capsule was much more spacious than we expected (I’m around 5 ft 5 and could kneel) and the air conditioning kept it nice and cool. The double bed was very comfortable with multiple plug sockets and adjustable LED lights and there was enough space on a shelving unit to keep your bags and shoes in - the capsule is obviously lockable so keeps your belongings safe. The wifi was excellent. Also came with dressing gowns and towels for the communal bathrooms. The bathroom was very clean and well equipped with soap, shower gel shampoo and hairdryers. We had a stressful journey with our flight being cancelled and then rebooked with multiple delays, and the staff were very accommodating to this and let us check in very late at night with no additional cost. The only thing is that we were on the top ‘bunk’ which made it a little tricky to climb up the ladder into the capsule but this was not a deal breaker. Location was good, 20-30 min walk into the centre of amsterdam. Would definitely stay here again!!

Wonderful staff Yanick and Ilaria get name mentions! Wonderful room and view. Great location eve though it is not in the city but a simple two stops to Noord from Central Station. Beautiful spaces to relax in. Amazing breakfast! 10 out of 10!
