Marnix Hotel - Amsterdam

The hotel is at the center of Amsterdam and within walking distance to most attractions. They have free wi-fi in certain areas and offer a good breakfast for 5 euro. Staff is kind and they do their best in keeping it all clean.

Location is good but you can stay in a real hotel like the Best Western next to the museums for around the same price or less. The rooms at the Marnix are very spartan like a budget hostel.

We arrived at the hotel very early. The staff at the front desk let us know there was free wi-fi, offered to let us stow our bags until our room was ready and gave us general directions to the area we wanted to find. We set off to roam the town for a while and returned after check in time. When I entered the front office, there were a lot of guests […] standing around and there seemed to be a few misunderstandings about rooms. At least one person in front of us was very unhappy with what was going on and getting waited on seemed to be much less of a priority for the staff than the wiring/general maintenance of the building. There were 2 people working a side project and one person taking customers - a rather slow process that seemed very inefficient for Europeans. I was given our key, informed of hotel policies and was given directions to our room. When we walked in to the building, a maintenance man took us to our room, but told us that guests were staying there. Certain there was some sort of language barrier, we decided to open the door with the key anyway. When we got in, our room was a complete disaster. There were 4 twin beds, 2 of which seemed to be in normal places, another that was diagonal and a fourth that was holding the back door wide open. There was trash and upside down to-go containers (including food waste) all over the floor and the room was a general disaster. There were also water pipes randomly just sticking out of the wall. We immediately went back to the office and the staff apologized and offered another room. We had already made up our minds that we were just going to head to a big hotel and they remained apologetic and refunded us in full. All-in-all it seemed to me that the staff was either all new or the hotel hadn't been in operation for very long. They need to do a better job of prioritizing and developing a system to check in customers and clean rooms. Had the mix-up with the uncleaned room not happened, I would have considered this a 2 Read more

It was the cheapest around the area but: There was 6 beds in a 3x3 meters room, bathroom/toilet has no lock, no electrical plug in the room, floor was dirty and smelly, bedding stuff was left for the customer to put them in, common room was like a cafeteria like.

The hotel is fine by itself, it is located in the center of Amsterdam and easy to find. The only thing wich was really dissapointing is that the room we got was not the room we reserved. When we went to the reception to complain they did not seem to care about it at all.

We booked this place because it was the cheapest we could find not rated below 60% booking two days before arrival (it was still quite expensive). We were told our rooms would be ready at 14:00. They were ready at 15:30. We were told there would be Wi-Fi in the room, there was none. The room was clean, but water flowed into the heater constantly even […] though it was not on, and we shared the room with two mice who continuously rummaged through our luggage despite us removing all food from the bags. My father hardly slept the whole time, and I could only sleep after getting drunk. Go somewhere else, this place is not worth your time. Read more

It was the very first place we've walked into in Amsterdam..we HATED the whole city for having such a place! No one was willing to help with the luggage so we were worn out by taking it up 5 very steep spiral floors. Apparently cleaning the room is not an option, they haven't done it the first day and i thought there must've been a mistake but when […] they didn't do it teh second day i ASKED for it the 3rd day at the "reception" and they assured they would, they even noted it down in the computer system but still nothing! we stayed for a week without cleaning the room and bathroom or replacing the toilet paper but they replaced the towels ONCE when we ran into the cleaners and asked them for that. Also the bed covers were filthy with yellow stains ALL over but they're tucked in cleaner sheets. Also by the time we left the bathroom floor was filled with water for a whole day it wouldn't either go down the drain nor dry up..it was plain horrible! There is no ventilation what so ever. No AC or heaters and if you intend to open the window u'll be surprised with the mice trap right under the window so you would never dare! and the worst part of all is that we paid what we almost paid in another EXCELLENT 3 star hotel downtown with breakfast too!!!!

Upon arriving at hotel room, found the the toilet had no light. The plug point in the room didnt work.breakfast was minimum, cheese on toast, very disappointing better off elsewhere

If you want to stay at the Marnix, make sure you get a room with en-suite bathroom. The rooms are small and the stairs are steep, but its clean and good value for money. You are a 2 minute walk away from busy streets with good night life, and if you want to get downtown the tram will take you there in a few minutes. If you want a quiet relaxing stay, […] this hotel is not for you, but If you came to party this hotel will provide a good place to rest meanwhile Read more

Der Aufenthalt: Es war eine Spontane Planung. Das Hotel ist Zentral (25 min vom Hbf entfernt) und es eignet sich perfekt als Hotel zur Übernachtung wenn man in Amsterdam Party machen will.

Hotellet låg i ett bra läge, trevlig personal, god frukost, det fanns inget att klaga på. Kikade på rekommendationer innan bokning och bestämde mig för att boka detta hotell, det var inget dåligt val då det viktiga för oss var sovplats och ett bra läge. Trapporna var som spökiga husets, men så var det överallt =) Detta hotell kan jag rekommendera s […] tarkt! Read more

L'avantage de cet hôtel est son emplacement, au coeur de la ville et son prix très abordable. Malgré un bâtiment à l'intérieur franchement glauque (l'hôtel possède des chambres dans différents bâtiments de la rue), un accès à la chambre via un escalier extrêmement raide (monter une valise relève de l'exploit), la chambre est par contre extrêmement propre […] et la literie très confortable. C'était très calme et nous avons très bien dormi. La seule réserve que je pourrais faire est la configuration de l'accès aux chambres qui est assez limite ( en termes de sécurité également puisqu'aucune sortie de sécurité n'est possible ou indiquée).

Ich 50 und Tochter 14 J. hatten ein tolles WE in Amsterdam.Man muß das Marnix schon richtig locker sehen.Das Zimmer verfügte über ein Bett mehr als gebucht,war eine gute Abstellfläche und die Dusche war sogar im Zimmer.Ansonsten ist das wirklich unterster Standard.Das Personal war hilfsbereit und freundlich und der Trubel im Hotel gefiel uns gut.Das […] Zimmer war sehr laut,Straßenbahn direkt vor der Tür.Eben zentral!Einzig die Etagentoilette war völlig verdreckt,dagegen die in der Rezeption sauber.Alles in allem toll für einen Kurztripp. Read more

Meget lille værelse, dog okay. Blev lidt skræmt ved ankomst, da nogle områder af hotellet lugtede en del af hash.

Il est un diamant qui n'est pas encore taillé à Amsterdam. Brut de quartier, richesse cachée, une pièce de marbre ébauche du Taj Mahal, Etretat sans son arche, un gateau sans cerise. Les oiseaux les plus migrateurs du Monde ne pourraient s'adonner à leur voyage annuel après s'être posés dans ce nid douillet et tiède ; sédentaires ils deviendraient pour […] l'amour et le bonheur. Il y a des moments que l'on voudrait infini. Marnix, je t'aime. Read more

L’hôtel est très bien situé, La ligne 10 du tram et le bus passe au pied de l'immeuble et il est situé a 5min de Leidseplein . Cependant les chambres sont minuscules et ne préserve pas l'intimité des occupants. Mais le pire c'est qu'il y a des SOURIS!!!! pas très farouche. Et inutiles de le signaler, les responsables s'en contrefiche!!!!

Good location, relatively new and fresh interior. Had a sign in the reception that advised people not to bring food to the rooms because of problems with mice.

Vi möttes av en fruktansvärd mögellukt när vi öppnade dörren till hotellrummet. Lukten kom från toaletten som ändå såg ganska fräsch ut på ytan. Det såg ut som om man nyligen kaklat och satt in ny kran och handfat. Enda problemet var att handfatet var alldeles för litet för kranen man valt, vilket gjorde att när man satte fart på vattnet sprutade strålen […] rakt ner på golvet. Kanske kan ha viss påverkan på mögellukten... Vi fick lägga en handduk nere vid dörrspringan och proppa igen nyckelhålet med papper för att kunna sova i lukten. Hotellet bestod av flera byggnader. Vårt rum låg på andra våningen i en gammal byggnad. Trapporna var extremt branta och smala och huset var utan hiss. Charmigt om man klarar av det, men har man svårt för trappor bör man kanske be om ett rum på nedre våningen. Personalen var ganska trevlig, men inte så serviceinriktad. Saker och ting tog väldigt lång tid vilket skapade viss irritation bland gäster som stod och väntade vid receptionen. Vissa gav upp och gick därifrån. Frukosten testade vi inte, men den såg inte ut att vara någon höjdare. Read more

Marnix is a very basic hotel - like a hostel without the atmosphere. Sometimes there's no toilet paper, because they don't check it often enough. The rooms are tiny, but at least there's a sink in every room. The breakfast is basic, but alright - especially I liked the free choice of different coffees and chocolates :)

You cant except a very luxorious hotel for this price, but you can most certainly find a better bargain in Amsterdam. We had a triple budget room, and the room itself brought us back all our memories from our military service time, i.e. the room had three bunk beds and no extra space. Summary: not worth the price, with this price the rooms should seriously […] be more comfortable. Read more

only bad about this hotel is right outside the windows of my room, it looked like an ashtray because people have been smoking out the window... so it kinda smelled when we had the windows open
