Chic & Basic Amsterdam - Amsterdam 52.37893, 4.89197

What a lovely little hotel! Central (about 5 minutes walk from central station) and clean with super-friendly staff. As the name suggests it is chic & basic, but not so basic that your comfort is compromised in any way. I was actually surprised to learn that it only had 2 stars?! Overall, highly recommended....stay here!

The hotel offers guests a comfortable place to stay with a few amenities not available at similarly priced hotels throughout major European cities (such as free wireless/ethernet cords in the rooms as well as a community computer with internet in the lobby). The staff was welcoming upon arrival and helpful with inquiries regarding nightlife, sites to see, restaurants, etc. They had space enough to upgrade me, for free and without a request from me, from a single to a double room, offering more space. The hotel is about a 7-minute walk to the red light district and a 15-20-minute walk to many of the museums (e.g., Van Gogh, Heineken, etc.). Would definitely return to this property.

This hotel was great value for money and was very close to the station, bars and sights. Well worth staying in if you are on a budget but dont be fooled by the price, the hotel is actually quite nice!!!

This was an outstanding typical Amsterdam hotel. If you are from America it is going to be different from what you might be used to, but for Amsterdam it was amazing! Great location and the view from our window was "picture perfect" The staff was helpful and friendly.

Good breakfast, complimentary espresso/coffee, free hotel internet use, clean facilities, helpful reception, quiet rooms

-A 10 - 15 min. walk from Central Station where all things transportation-related either begin or end in Amsterdam. -Lots of restaurants near-by -The girls on the desk were helpful in many ways but especially in helping me book transportation to England via train and ferry. She offered to find flights and let me use her phone and printer. -The Continental breakfast offered lots of variety though everything was cold -There was no place to sit in our room, and couldn't lean up against the headboard since it is made of fabric. -The only window was way up high so couldn't see out, nor was there much natural light. This was on first floor. -Private bathroom was large and well equipped but a flight of stairs down inside the room. Different!

Ein Kurzurlaub mit einer Freundin brachte uns in dieses Hotel. Genial gelegen, direkt an der Herengracht - keine fünf MInuten vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt und trotzdem ruhig. Über die Gracht guckt man direkt ins Jordaan - Viertel - schöner kann man kaum wohnen. Die Zimmer sind winzig!!! Also nichts für Leute mit Platzangst. Da das Hotel zudem in einem typischen Amsterdamer Stadthaus untergebracht ist, sind die Treppenhäuser unglaublich eng und steil. Der Service und die große Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundlichkeit des Personals haben vieles aufgewogen. Den Gästen steht jederzeit ein Wasserautomat und eine professionelle Kaffeemaschine zur Verfügung! Sehr nett! Aufgrund der Lage und des wirklich tollen Blicks ist dieses Hotel für Leute zu empfehlen, die sich wie wir wirklich nur für ein paar Stunden zum schlafen dort aufhalten.

déco sympathique et tendance, très bon accueil, idéalement situé.

premier soir au sous sol! avons demandé à changer aprés tout était ok

Ett kanonhotell. Trevlig personal och bra läge, men ändå väldigt lugnt på kvällarna.

original,convivial,amicale,emplacement idéal,bref j'y retourne

Om man ser bort fra en litt høy kvadratmeterpris på rommet, og den migrenefremkalende blinkende lampen på rommet som kunne styres med fjernkontroll, var det et utrolig søtt og skjarmerende hotell. Personlig brev ventet på sengen når vi sjekket inn. Ligger midt i hjertet av Amsterdam med gåavstand til alt. Gratis internett, med litt veldig dårlig dekning. Men sikkert bra på andre rom
