Hotel Amstelzicht Reviews

A fabulous location right in the heart of Amsterdam. Very friendly and comfortable small hotel in a historic town house. Comfortable and clean room. Staff were very welcoming and helpful Very steep staircases so do not advise having big heavy suitcases

Location is fine but that’s the only thing this hotel has going for it. Would not recommend and way overpriced for tourists. Be aware also that there are no breakfast/dining facilities at this hotel. The rooms are old, stale and musty. The smell each time we entered was actually overpowering. We experienced two rooms as our friends were also staying at the hotel, so we know it wasn’t just ours. Our window overlooked a dingy alleyway with an iron stairwell full of bins, rubbish from a kitchen and guys smoking (have attached pics). Bottom line is that there many, many hotels in Amsterdam offering far better value with clean rooms and where you’ll have a much nicer experience. I’d avoid this hotel like the plague.

Much older then on pictures but bed was comfortable (my partner didn’t like big pillows). Toilet is in good condition but no heating inside. Much smaller room than on pictures.

TRATO HORRIBLE. Teniamos una reserva para viajar un fin de semana de julio a Amsterdam y hospedarnos en este hotel, 2 días antes de viajar mi compañera tuvo un accidente, se quebró y por lo tanto no pudimos hacer el viaje. al momento de llamar para cancelar la reserva, explicando la situación (la cual era de fuerza mayor), me contestaron de muy mala forma, no aceptaron la cancelación con la justificación de que no habíamos avisado con la anticipación necesaria y nos cobraron el total de la reserva, considero que es muy injusto ya que avisamos ni bien sucedió el accidente y no fue algo que quisiéramos.

Carrying relatively light luggage might offer a unique experience for some travelers but for tourists visiting Amsterdam from afar, carrying that heavy baggage up and down narrow stairs was incredibly challenging.

My boyfriend and I just stayed here for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it! We booked pretty last minute but managed to get the last canal view room (room 207) and it was so worth it! The room was lovely, really good size, very clean, bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and not to mention the view! Large windows let in so much light and made the most of the outlook over the beautiful Amstel Canal and the surrounding iconic Amsterdam architecture. The bathroom in our room was also lovely, again a very decent size, large shower with great water pressure and temperature. Hand soap dispenser and body wash dispenser and hairdryer also provided. Room also came with a good wardrobe for hanging up clothes, a flat screen TV, a mini bar and coffee machine. The wardrobe had a small ironing board and you just had to request an iron when you needed it which was never a problem. All the staff we dealt with were really friendly and helpful - and like nearly everyone in Amsterdam, spoke perfect English. When we checked in we were given recommendations on where to eat as well as discounts for renting bikes and for a local breakfast spot near by. Hotel is in an excellent location just around the corner from Rembrandt square that has lots of restaurants/bars and cafes. The square also has the nearest tram stop. Reception for the hotel is open from 8am -10pm and the front door is locked at 10pm for the protection of the guests which made us feel extra safe and they explain thoroughly how to gain access to the hotel after hours. Just a note for anyone with mobility issues or travelling with lots of luggage - there is no elevator and the stairs are small and steep to get up to rooms, we managed fine and thought it added character to the building and had a good laugh coming back at night after a few beers!! We would hurry back to stay here again and highly recommended it to anyone. Thanks so much for having us :)

Stayed here for 3 days. The pictures make it look nicer than it is in person. Requires updating in parts. Rooms were not very big as the pictures made them look like. The rooms were a little basic. Could hear and feel vibrations as people passing the corridor and no view at the back of building. Has everything you needed. We spent little time in the room as out all day each day just used it for sleeping and shower. The staff were relatively friendly. Quaint boutique hotel with character. It’s in a great location to bars, restaurants, shops. Right on the doorstep to Rembrandt square. There’s plenty on offer in the area. So if you just need somewhere to sleep it’s ideal

Very steep stairs without help to bring bags up or down..ended up takin only overnight bags upstairs. Olga was very nice but for some reason was unable to call airport re baggage peoblem when i was having difficulty with my phone..other than that curious issue she was very nice and helpful..definitely sympathetic about my baggage snarl..she called cabs..gave directions and suggestions about area to visit..the room wasnice and we had no problem with street noise.

We loved our stay here! We stayed here for 3 nights in the canal view room and it was well worth it. Beautiful view. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Nice historical hotel across from canal. Appreciated the secure doors especially at night. The Irish pub near by was wonderful with live entertainment. Around the corner nice square with many dining options! The reception staff are very helpful !!

Room was spacious, clean and comfortable! Highly recommend staying here.

We stayed in a basement family room (family of 4). It was clean and spacious. The beds were so comfortable! The staff is very friendly. Location is great. Very walkable but the trolley is right there too. Lots of dining and shopping options nearby.

Gorgeous hotel! So cute! A/C was an unexpected luxury as well. We found the room to be quiet and very comfortable.

My mother and I had a five day reservation in April. I had previously stayed at the hotel and had a good experience. When checking in this time we were assigned a room right next to the front desk. At first this seemed convenient as it didn’t require climbing the steep stairs. Once we were in the room my thoughts quickly changed. I know that we didn’t select a view room (this doesn’t seem to be an option in our room type when booking) so the lack of view was fine. The rest of the room turned out not to be. First, there was a vague mold or sewer smell. Second, this room clearly wasn’t an original part of the building. It had a drop ceiling that allowed so to hear everything from the room upstairs all night long and all morning. After a sleepless night we checked out early. After this experience I will not be returning. I have asked for a refund and so far have received no communication from management.
