Hotel berhampiran Pontus, Amsterdam

Stayed here at the end of April for the recent Metallica concerts with a friend. The location was perfect - a five minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal station - and we were pleasantly surprised considering some of the reviews on here. While we only really used it as a base, the reception staff were extremely friendly and we were checked in quickly. Our room was on the second floor and while it had a window, the view was of the next building. No big deal. The room itself looked nothing like some of the pictures previously posted. It was modern, clean, and perfect for two big lads. The bathroom had hot water no matter what time of day and fresh towels every day. The room also has air con and heating and we used both due to the mixed weather while we were there. The breakfast was a buffet style and more than adequate to see you through the morning and most of the early afternoon with a choice of continental and/or English breakfast. A huge thanks to the night receptionist on our last day who whipped something up for us even though we had to check out earlier than the 8am breakfast start time. Considering it's position in the Old Quarter it wasn't as noisy as some previous reviews have suggested - maybe we just got lucky! The staff at The Old Quarter are really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We loved the train style seating and it's closeness to the brilliant local bars and transport hubs - to get from the hotel to our actual seats at Ajax's ground took 50 minutes from door to door! Brilliant experience and we will definitely consider Hotel Old Quarter next time we are in Amsterdam. Thanks guys and see you soon! (Mark and Tony, Manchester, UK)

We arrived early (about 11.30am) to leave our bags but we were kindly offered a room that was available straight away which was very kind. Our room was clean and spacious. Nice clean linen and comfy beds with a nice view of the Main Street. Air con/heating worked well. No street noise at night that I noticed although we were on the 4th floor. All staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Lovely free coffee in reception area. Great budget hotel in an excellent location. Will definitely stay here again

I could not ask for more! Great amenities at the room and also unbeatable facilities at the hotel. Love the gym and sauna a lot. Only small point deducted on location as it is challenging to walk from the central station with big luggage on check in day according to stairs. Take a tram from the central station is highly recommended only with luggage. Will definitely stay there again if i get chance to be in AMS again.

Stayed here for a few nights. First off the location is decent for the price, pretty much in the centre, once you get on the 24 hour free ferry, which goes every few minutes and is 5 minute walk from the hotel. There is a really nice Indian restaurant a few doors down as well, along with a bar next door which had a pool table and a dart board, so if you didn't fancy going into the centre one night you would be accommodated for. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, we also had a balcony which was a nice surprise, there was no complaints for the room in not getting what we had requested. The only complaints would be that you could hear a lot of what else was going on in the hotel, especially as the doors slammed shut really loud (people banging around at 5 am, someone's alarm on their phone in another room going off for ages in the early hours of the morning, etc...) In addition to this the bed sheets were not a nice material, they felt a bit like a coat, which wasn't great, nice normal bed sheets would be a good addition to the rooms and wouldn't be much to ask for even for the price. Although we didn't request a change so maybe we would have gotten something different if we had. Also there was a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor which allowed light to get into the room as the corridor light was on all night. Overall for the price you can't go wrong, you won't find much else for cheaper with such a good location aside from hostels. And aside from issues I have mentioned the staff and the cleanliness were all perfectly fine, hence the 4 star review despite the hotel not being perfect. Would recommend for anyone travelling on a budget, but if you are expecting luxury this isn’t for you.

Yesterday night we stayed at Di Ann Hotel in Amsterdam just for one night. We paid a total of 192 euros, not the cheapest hotel in the area and disappointment cannot even begin to describe what we felt. When we arrived at the hotel room we were disgusted by the filth that there was present. Bed covers were dirty and had a wet feeling when you touched them, the duvet was covered in big staying, there was only one plug available and the room looked nothing like the picture. What is more, the room was covered in dust and soundproofing was not even in the plans for them. To give you a better vibe think of a creepy motel in the middle of nowhere. To add to this disaster the window that was facing the road was so thin that you felt like you were sleeping on the side of the road. Correct me if I am wrong but hotels are supposed to provide the necessities for your stay, towels, and toilet paper, well this one didn't have any. I have been working in the hotel industry for a few years now and I have been traveling from a very young age. The only thing I can say is that I have stayed in a cabin in the ASmaxon forest and not only was it cleaner and we actually enjoyed our stay it was also way cheaper. When I said to the receptionist all of my problems they just told me they will pass it along. I don't think it's going to lead somewhere, in my opinion, this place has to be closed down its a matter of public health, and calling it a scam is very generous.

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!

Great western Amsterdam is a very good hotel if you prefer to stay a little quiet area. It’s about 30 mins to get into Amsterdam central station and all the popular sight seeing places. The service provided by hotel staffs were generally very good. Room is spacious and clean also Highly recommended

Abbiamo alloggiato in questo Hotel dal 31 agosto al 2 settembre io, il mio fidanzato e un nostro amico. Abbiamo preso due camere matrimoniali, piccole ma davvero perfette, molto pulite e accoglienti. In questa zona si è molto vicini alla zona dei mulini a vento che vale davvero la pena vedere. Colazione a buffet noi abbiamo pagato 9€ a persona ma era davvero ben fornita e personalmente anche molto gradita. A pochi minuti di camminata si trova la fermata per andare sia verso Amsterdam Centro (la si raggiunge tranquillamente con una ventina di minuti circa di bus) e verso la zona dei mulini, in hotel si ha anche la possibilità di poter comprare la carta con la quale puoi girare su tutti i mezzi pubblici (che a mio parere conviene molto perché c’è un servizio di mezzi pubblici a dir poco eccezionale e puntualissimi al secondo). Lo staff molto cordiale e sempre sorridenti, la struttura in generale l’ho trovata molto bella e molto pulita. Ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo e secondo me è sottovalutata questa struttura e merita molta più visibilità di quella che ha. È stata davvero una scoperta inaspettata è molto gradita e bella.

5mins walk from train station to zuid then metro to Amsterdam city centre trains trams every 5/7mins last one back is at midnight.comfortable room beds bit to hard only there for 4days enjoyed Amsterdam so much plenty to do and see people are so helpful if u get lost like a did lol the students went above and beyond showing me where to go am not good with google maps hotel very quiet at night in all enjoyed 😁the weather was fabulous came home last nite to typical rain cold typical Scottish weather

I chose this hôtel as I was travelling from the UK to see Dépêche Mode at the Ziggo Dome. And stayed two nights. Jaz in the City is just steps away from the Ziggo entrance so you can’t get any closer! It’s also great as a base for Amsterdam sightseeing. From the airport there’s a direct train (hotel is a 10-15 min walk from Bijlmer ArenA station). You can also hop on the metro here for a 20 min ride to Centraal. As Amsterdams public transport is so good (compared to Bristol in the UK where I live) you can confidently rely on it to get you wherever you need to be efficiently! Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. From front desk, bar, restaurant and housekeeping. Everyone (thankfully) spoke English which is ideal for me as I can just about say hello and thank you in Dutch! Special shout out to Mr Omelette Maker at breakfast. The perfect start to a day of sightseeing!! I’m sure they’re are cheaper options but I’m of an age where I understand that you get what you pay for. This hotel in my opinion is great. It looks good, is super clean and well maintained and importantly ＜feels＞ good.
