Charming quaint hotel situated right near Albert Cuyp. The hotel was in great condition & location was perfect - off a quiet street but close walking distance to the main museums, trendy cafes, restaurants & markets. Room was quiet, clean & comfortable. Friendly, professional, easy going front desk reception. The common areas were all very well maintained, the room although small, was perfect for our needs - also very clean & perfectly renovated with nice fixtures. My mom & I shared the family room for 4 pax - it was perfect for 2, as we got to have our own separate space in a small room. This is a not a budget hotel, rather $300 USD per night. The value was noticeable. We did not opt in for breakfast which is a separate fee but coffee & tea was included for hotel guests. Ease of check in & check out was a plus. Everything was pleasant - clean, modern, updated & fresh. Highly recommend Hotel Nicolaas Witsen & would absolutely return :)

Everything was great except for the ending. Location is great, very clean hotel , helpful staff and perfectly planned room for 3. We checked out at 11:00 and our flight was at 21:30, we were allowed to leaved stored luggage there until our flight time. We left the hotel then came back use restroom and rest for maybe total 15-20 mins before our flight! 19:00 and i guess it is a shift in the reception staff. The new guy comes in (bold man with tattoos with t-shirt and jeans where all others had formal clothing on) he asks us to leave!!! I repeated yes man we are leaving soon we are going to get all our bags and head out! He replied in a very rude way : listen to me u need to leave NOW!!! Cant you hear me? I said yes man i hear but we are on our way out!!! And me and my two friends are in shock as in what just happened! We collected our stuff and left peacefully but after a 5 day trip full of kindness from the whole city , there came Mr.cranky mood to ruin the moment! Recommended place but dnt mess with Mr.cranky guys haha.
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, cleanliness, helpful staff, and well-planned room for three.However, I am deeply sorry for the negative experience you had with a member of our reception team just before your departure. This is not reflective of the high standards of service we strive to maintain. Please accept my sincere apologies for the rudeness you encountered. We will address this incident internally to ensure such behavior does not occur in the future.Despite this unfortunate ending, I hope the overall positive aspects of your stay will encourage you to visit us again.Best regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

We had a fantastic stay for the weekend, the hotel was spotlessly clean and had great facilities. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was lovely with great choice and the options of hot food made fresh to order.
I would definitely stay here again 👍🏼

The room size is rather smaller than expected, not enough space to walk around if the luggage are opened. Overall is pretty clean and tidy. There are plenty of USB charging spots available which are very good for foreign travelers.
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing to stay at Hotel Nicolaas Witsen, Qiang Y. I’m glad you liked our USB charging spots in the rooms, all beds have a mini usb and a standard usb. I am sorry that you found the room a little small. We do have larger rooms available, which might be more convenient during your next visit. I hope to see you again soon. Wishing you a happy festive season and a wonderful 2024! Kind regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

WELL LOCATED, EXCELLENT RECEPTION STAFF, VERY GOOD HOTEL FACILITIES, THEY OFFER COFFEE OR CHOCOLATE TO GUESTS AT NO EXTRA COST. THE ONLY THING TO IMPROVE IS THAT THE MATTRESSES SINK A LITTLE BUT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND YOU CAN REST. I WOULD DEFINITELY REPEAT!!!

After staying in Amsterdam for three days, there were only rows of small red dots at first, but nothing was wrong when I checked out. On the second day after leaving, the redness, swelling, itching and blisters started. I couldn't bear it, so I sought treatment at a Lisbon pharmacy. There were nearly 100 blisters all over my body, hands, feet and neck, which completely ruined my and my daughter’s subsequent travel mood. In order to avoid other victims, I reported to the store afterwards and they also asked experts to conduct a comprehensive inspection and disinfection of the room, but. . Because there was no response to the counter at the moment of the incident, it does not mean that the scene of the incident was there. I can only provide photos to remind everyone, be careful when you go out, pests are all around you.

Response from Property: I am truly sorry to hear about the discomfort you and your daughter experienced during and after your stay. I understand how distressing this must have been and how it impacted your trip.Upon receiving your complaint 10 days after your departure, we immediately had an expert inspect the room. Although no traces of bedbugs or other insects were found, and no subsequent guests reported any issues, we still treated the room thoroughly to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety.Please know that we take such concerns very seriously and are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for all our guests. I regret that this happened and appreciate your understanding as we strive to prevent any future occurrences.Best regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

Wonderful hotel! Very clean, comfortable room, new facilities. It's not exactly in the center, but you can walk there in about 15 minutes. The breakfast is ok. We arrived 30 minutes before finishing and there were no croissants left.

This appears to be a bachelor pad converted into a hotel, which is very common in Amsterdam. The hotel is relatively small, and the lobby is a bit like a domestic B&B. The environment is comfortable, quiet, and the sound insulation effect is pretty good. The facilities are relatively new, not as fancy as a five-star hotel, but small and sophisticated. The transportation is very convenient. It takes three to five minutes to the bus station and subway station, and is very close to museums and food streets. recommend

Good location, easy to find the hotel but the hotel is quite small. Personally, I asked for 2 beds because I came with my stepfather but the beds were next to each other so I was confused about 2 beds but they couldn't be separated. The room was small and it was on the basement floor where I couldn't see anything. There were a few amenities but no bottled water.

Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m glad to hear that you found our location convenient and easy to find. However, I regret that we could not fully meet your expectations regarding the room arrangement and amenities. I understand how the layout of the beds and the basement location may have caused some inconvenience.Regarding bottled water, I’m sorry that we didn’t inform you during your stay that in the Netherlands, we drink water directly from the tap, as it is of very high quality and safe to consume. I apologize for this oversight and will ensure this information is communicated more clearly to future guests.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more comfortable stay in the future.

The hotel is not far from the city. The exterior building of the hotel is very new and the interior environment is very warm. This store is newly renovated in 2023 and has no smell.
The hotel room is not large in size, but the design is very reasonable. Although it is small, it has all the necessary features. Whether it is the bedside power supply or storage space, there is no omission due to area issues. The bathroom is also separated from wet and dry, the bathtub is very clean, and it is very quiet to sleep at night.
I was very satisfied with breakfast the next day, except for the bread, ham, eggs, vegetables, and coffee I took. The clerk also thoughtfully made cheese scrambled eggs with onions and ham in them. It was very delicious. I must give it a thumbs up. Very cost-effective hotel, recommended.

I hope to see you again soon at Hotel Nicolaas Witsen, and please tell your friends and family about us. Kind regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

The sanitary condition is quite good and someone has taken care of it.
The location of the hotel is also good, about five minutes' walk from the subway station and tram station.
The room is a little small, but it has everything it needs.
The service is really good, check-in and check-out are quick and friendly. There are also greetings every day.
The variety of breakfast is a bit lacking, but the service is quite enthusiastic and the taste is acceptable. I like pancake.
Overall, I can recommend it~
