Galerij Hotel - Amsterdam 52.37363, 4.88579

basic as expected for price paid.

If Amsterdam wasnt such a cool city it would have been an awful trip. After being buzzed in to the hotel which consists of only a door from the exterior you are faced with stairs that can only be compaired with those of medieval catherdals. The staff are unfriendly and unhelpful, our room was cleaned once in four days. The sheets were filthy and stained and insect ridden as was the rest of the 1920's style room. My friends and i were bitten several times. I would not reccomend this hotel to my worst enemy. The location on the other hand was good and very central.

had a little trouble finding it but once there was very pleased with our room room was good and the service was excellent very helpful , the only downside was the very steep stairs on the way in but overall i was very happy with the hotel and price would stay again

we were promised that there is a bathroom in the hotel room, we even spoke with the hotel directly before arrival and we were assured that there is, but to our greatest dissatisfaction there was no such a "luxury" in the room. we tried to get a refund and are still trying without success.... never go there!

Just a step above a hostel but for the price and the location you cant beat it. If you are high maintenance this is not your place. Most rooms have a shower and toilet but ours didn't but once again for the price no big deal. It was right in the middle of the city close to everything you will need. If backpacking and looking for a good deal this is the place

i honestly didint expect this room to be such dissapointment,it was very filthy, and i am being very serious, their was a bed blancket on da floor and it had a period stain. very gross. worse experience ever.

Not a bad hotel for the price compared to other places in Amsterdam. the room was ok, it had a double bed and a shower room, but had no toilet in the room which is not ideal..... or uncommon in Amsterdam. The staff were helpful and friendly and the location is good too, just 5 minutes from the dam square. by no means is this the Ritz but if you want a basic, reasonably priced place in the city center this is fine, however i would not recomend it for couples seeking a romantic break or families as it is very basic.

I've never seen anything that bad, ever and I've stayed in crap student accomodation. It was FILTHY, it wouldn't sit on the bed with clothes on. Awful. We checked out as soon as we checked in.

the rooms where nothing like in the discription,one of the rooms had a matreess on the floor! it stated full breakfast but when went for breakfast all we were offered was bread and cheese now i don't know where people are from but where we come from a full breakfast is not bread and cheese! the only redeming feature of the hotel was the freindliness of the staff if it wasn't for them the hotel would have recived a zero rating!

You wouldn't want to spend a lot of time in your room here, the rooms are small and the property is rundown. BUT for the price you can't find much better in central Amsterdam, you are only 3 blocks from the palace and 2 blocks from the Anne Frank house. Stair climbing skills are needed to get to the reception desk, two flights up to the "front desk." and then possibly one or two more flghts up to your room.

This hotel is bordering on "hostel" status. I was prepared for the STEEP steps right inside the door because I had read the other reviews about this hotel. So, prepare yourself. The steps are very steep, but I noticed that many other hotels and buildings have the same set up. Holland likes its steep staircases. And There is no elevator in this hotel, by the way. My suitcase was 45 lbs but my friend and I managed to get it up the stairs without breaking our backs. This is a good place to stay for young people. I am 22 and on a budget, so it worked for me. The people at the front desk are very nice, and I felt safe staying there. We stayed for three days and never asked for room service. You hand them your key when you go out for the day. They don't ask for any identification when you return and request your key number, which scared me a little. But I think they recognized our faces because by day 3 we didn't even have to say our room number, they just gave us our correct key. I booked this hotel for its great location and low rate. We walked EVERYWHERE. And for farther places, we took a fun boat ride on the canals to get there. The Anne Frank House was a 5 minute walk. The train station is pretty close too. We only had to take a 3 minute tram ride to and from the train station. Overall I was satisfied, and I would recommend this to young people on a budget :-)

This hotel wasnt bad. We had one double bed and one single bed in our room. A sink and shower were in the room, but the toilet was shared in the hall. Clean sheets but bring slippers because the carpet is well worn and somewhat gross. This hotel is very basic with no tv or phone in the room. There are alot of hotes in this part of Amsterdam and you can probably find a nicer room at a similar rate if you look harder. If you like to have reservations and know you have a place to sleep, then this hotel is good. Its not like you spend alot of time in the hotel room in Amsterdam anyway. There is too much fun to have elsewhere.

Be in good shape, for the stairs, no extra amentities ( TV, Phone etc. )....shared bathroom facilities, where was stated private bath. Relatively reasonable price and very good location.

We picked this hotel because of it's location. When traveling that is the primary reason we pick hotels since we only use them to rest in. Way too much to see. We actually liked this hotel. It is in a quite area, we could sleep with the windowes open even though it was freezing outside and the church bells ring every 30 minutes. It is close to almost everything you want to see by walking and the far off area's are easily accessed by tram, bus or train. It is an old hotel with friendly and safe staff and the rooms were clean but the beds and linens are old and need updating. I would recommend this hotel to the younger and more adventurous travelers as the stairs up to your room are crazy steep, almost a 45 degree angle. Overall the hotel was good.

I went to Amsterdam for a 5 night stay with a buddy from college, guy's weekend just to basically do a few touristy things and mainly run through the coffeeshops and the finer points of Amsterdam. We knew we would be in an altered mindstate pretty much every night when we'd be back, and wouldn't be spending all that much time in the room so we basically just wanted a place with 2 beds, no rats/bugs, a shower/toilet, closeby to the RLD and city centre, and a place where our things wouldn't get stolen. Hotel Galerij delivered on all of these things. It was exactly what we were looking for. Our room got made up a few times while we were there, during the day when we'd be out, there was a shower and sink in our bathroom, with a toilet room out in the hallway shared with other guests. Beds were okay, we were allowed to smoke in the rooms and it didn't have the dreaded "hotel smell" of your typical smoking room so that was good. There is someone at the front desk around the clock so however late you're out all you need to do is hit the buzzer at the front door and you'll be buzzed in. Word to the wise, if you have difficulty walking up stairs, this place probably isn't for you. Steps are typical of A'dam in that they are very steep and some steps are very small. There's two railings though so that helped us get up the 2 flights to our room (we were in room 25 which is on the street side on the 3rd floor), even when we were a little intoxicated we still managed without tumbling. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, great city center location, and can deal with not being in a 4-star place, the Galerij is a great place to stay. I would definitely stay there again if the price was right.

Good location, not for the out of shape (lots of steep steps), uncomfortable beds, poor continential breakfast

c'est un hotel situé au coeur d'Amsterdam, basique mais correct, le service est bon et les petits déjeuners copieux. les chambres sont propres.

Mycket oseriöst intryck. Hotellet har oengagerad arbetskraft från utlandet. (Svartjobb?) En i personalen var direkt otrevlig. Hotellet är ett renoveringsobjekt. Fönstret gick inte att stänga helt, pga att fönsterkarmen var rutten. Man tog motvilligt av sig skorna på heltäckningsmattan i rummet. Hål i lakanet. Vi mötte två killar som bokat och betalt ett dubbelrum med två sängar, och fick ett rum med en säng 120 cm bred. De fick söka nytt rum, och förmodligen inga pengar tillbaks. Det enda positiva var läget. Hotellet är enstjärnigt- ta bort den stjärnan.

We thought it would be larger at first(it´s almost like a hole in the wall). we shared one room(#3) on four(4) guys(however only 3 beds). it was totally awesome price divided by 4, but if i were there on a buisness trip and wanted to sleep i would not take this room. the street noise was to much and the window only has one glass. but i was there for an experience weekend it was great and i did not sleep much anyway. i sat all night in the window just looking at the city. they had breakfast but we went out anyway. no more than a 30min walk to some really sweet spots. reception was very helpful

aucune personne de l'hotel ne parle francais ,la chambre n'etait pas propre ,pas de télèvision ...

Hotel très basique, état général de propreté limite (cf. les moquettes!), petit déjeuner surprenant de médiocrité. Valable pour une nuit ou deux, pas plus! Acceuil assez correct. Seul attrait: dans le centre, et près d'un supermarché.

Vi ankom sent til hotellet, og ble svært glade for at vi ikke hadde med oss tung bagasje fra flyplassen da vi så den smale og enormt lange trappen opp til resepsjonen innenfor inngangsdøren... I resepsjonen spurte de ikke om annet enn navnet rommet sto på før vi fikk nøkkelen, ingen legimitasjon e.l. Etterpå måtte vi opp to trapper til for å komme oss til rommet som var i enden av korridoren. Sengen var hard og ukomfortabel, rommet smakløst og vegg-til-vegg-teppet på gulvet hadde mange flekker i ulike varianter. Det luktet også av gammelt røykerom. Siden rommet var i enden av korridoren, hadde vi en dør ut til en balkong fra rommet- men balkongen ble tydelig brukt som oppevaringsrom for malingsbøtter, stiger o.l. Det ble en ganske ukomfortabel natt, og vi benyttet oss ikke av den andre natten vi hadde bestilt - da sov vi heller på flyplassen. Hotellet kan umulig fungere for andre enn unge backpackere med svært lav terskel for komfort og generell standard.

Ett mysigt och charmigt hotell med trevlig ägare. Det kändes tryggt att bo på hotellet.

Umuligt at få sin bagage op på hotellet som ligger på første sal, pga. de stejle trapper dårlige senge manglende maling og rengøring

je ne peu pas dire que c la grande classe, c un lit pour dormir, une douche et un toilette sur le palier, un petit déjeuné tout ce qu'il y a de plus simple"tartine café) Le prix est tout de même élevé pour ce que c'est. le mobilier est très vieux, le plafon aussi les peinture au mur aussi, je ne pense pas que j'y retournerai.

c'est un hotel correct et pas cher pour partir entre potes, c'est un hotel que j'aurais pas choisis pour inviter ma copine, trop moyen, pas assez d'hygiene dans les douches...mais ca reste un hotel quand meme correct.

für einen güsntigen aufenthalt in amsterdam zu empfehlen, nettes service, das hotel liegt neben der herrengracht, ABSOLUT ZENTRAL! ruhiges zimmer nach hinten, waren zufrieden für den güsntigen preis jederzeit zu empfehlen!

i letti si presentava piccolo per due persone, le scale erano ripide e i gradini troppi piccoli e non abbiamo avuto aiuto nel portar su e giù le valigie, il resto OK

A familiar welcome from a nice receptionist, as soon as you have found your way upstairs....
