Hotels near Hof van Parijs, Amsterdam

It is ideally located within 1 km of Amsterdam Dam Square. There are GVBs on the 2nd and 12th lines at the door, and there is a train every 3 minutes or so. Take the 2nd and 12th roads to Amsterdam Central Station and take the INTERCITY train to all parts of the Netherlands. Because it is the core area of Amsterdam, the price is relatively expensive. Hotel facilities are old, but fortunately this time is around June, there is no air conditioning in the room, I don't know if I can still treat people in the summer. . . There is no elevator in the hotel, and it is very difficult to carry large luggage. There is no electric kettle in the room. If you need to drink hot water, you have to go to the building. The front desk staff will use the key to turn on the water heater to get hot water. In general, apart from the high prices, others are not ideal. . .

Eccentric place: one of two “hotels” located in what is essentially a building of residential apartments. The Amadi has the reception on the 4th floor and our room was on the 2nd. Stairs/lift take you past residential floors. Pros: Manager was really helpful when we needed to get to the local hospital. Reasonably good location just outside the main canal ring but within walking distance of everything, with tram stops nearby. Local area has plenty of eateries. Room quiet and bed comfortable. Cons: Over-priced for what it is - feels more 3 star than 4 star. No breakfast facilities (though plenty of places nearby) Odd-shaped room with barely any space on one side of the bed. Temperature control on aircon didn’t seem to do anything. Coffee machine didn’t work - a few drips after a lot of straining. And nothing for non-coffee drinkers. List of TV channels didn’t fit with actual channels. BBC1 and BBC2 listed but we never found them. Bathroom poorly designed - a small circular sink with a really small shelf. A slight smell of drains.

The good: First and foremost, the staff. All very friendly doing their best to help with any problem that may arise, whether it has to do with your stay at he hotel or not. Good location, close to the museum quarter, five minutes' walk to the tram station that goes to Dam square and the train station, in a quiet residential street. OK: Rooms are very small and compact, but that seems to be the general situation in Amsterdam, and if you're out all day seeing the sights then it's not a deal breaker. The bad: Housekeeping needs to get their act together. Checked in, went up to the room, entered the bathroom and was greeted by a very strong smell of mildew or something similar. Fortunately I was immediately given another room without any argument. Went up to the room, entered the bathroom, and noticed that one of the overhead lamps was not working. Took a shower and found that there's a drainage problem with the water draining so slowly that I had to shut the water flow so as not to have water overflowing onto the floor. Nothing tragic, and it was all fixed the next day, but one would think that the job of housekeeping is to take care of these problems BEFORE the guest checks in, not after.

Be aware of the a well-designed process of this hotel that can your stay a nightmare. Me and my family came to Amsterdam for short vacation in July, not for the first time so I know what to expect there in terms of hotels standards etc. My wife and daughter came one day before me, and once arrived at the hotel and entered the room, they realized it was so hot and humid, that there was no chance they can stay there (especially in case one had high blood pressure or any kind of heart/health issue). Of course, they asked the front desk for any type of solution but there was no intention to solve this, what so ever (they were offered a fan). The only option they were left with was to book a different hotel in vicinity and move from there as soon as they can - this is how bad conditions were. With all the arguments we had, hotel had no intention to offer refund, voucher, discount or any other complimentary or symbolic token of appreciation. What became evident afterwards, is that this is a deliberate process, planned in advance - hotel sends an ”no air condition” email message just 1 or 2 days before the cancellation deadline to be formally correct and they have ”ready-made” answers. While I was trying to solve the issue next day, I've witnessed a young couple with a 6-month baby from West Virginia that had to check out a day earlier because of the same reason, and another guest concerned about the heat and trying to understand these conditions via a phone call - but the front desk agent ”reeled” him in to book, with no intention to warn about the inhumane conditions. All together, not just a terrible hotel but a case of although formally correct process, clearly deliberately misleading and situation that represents a health risk.

I couldn't be more pleased with this hostel! I highly recommend it. The hostel, including bathrooms and showers, was very clean. The beds were super cozy and comfortable and offered some privacy. Staff was super sweet and helpful. Bonus points that the lobby always smelled like toast or freshly baked cookies! Also, the bike rental service was fantastic. One suggestion for improvement is that it would have been nice to have some wall hangers in the room. Since there were none, people resorted to hanging stuff from the bed ladders or just putting it on the floor.

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

Service at the front desk was awesome. Our friendly front desk lady came from Japan and she has been working at the hostel for 7 months in order to practice and improve her english. Hostel has free hair dryer to loan to their customer however towel is €5 per piece for rental.

Check in was very efficient. The staff there was very helpful and friendly. There was construction all round the holiday which was a bit difficult to locate by the driver. Although the hotel is near the airport, I don't experience any heavy noises of the planes flying over. The room is very clean and bright which I liked it. I had a great relaxing stay here.

We came to this hotel because it looked quirky & to having a few relaxing days away with a couple of hectic Amsterdam days thrown in. The hotel was very good with decent sized rooms. We were on floor 11 with decent views of the surrounding area. There was a free safe in the room which is always a bonus which was straight forward to use. The hotel is situated in a great area for getting around with a bus & train station within 5 minutes walk. There is a shopping street pretty much straight outside which is decent if you need to buy anything. I forgot my toothbrush which fortunately I could pick up at the shop basically next door. Our room had a bath & shower which were easy to use. Although we never saw the housemaids our bed was made daily to a high standard. The hotel bar served breakfast which was continental but was perfectly adequate. The bar itself was ok with a decent variety of drinks & also serving food. The prices were what you would expect of a hotel of this standard. The staff were probably the hotels strongest point very friendly, very prompt & very helpful. I would like to give a shout out to 2 in particular. Benji & Daphne very polite & they couldn't do enough to make our stay impeccable. I would definitely go again if the opportunity arose. It's a first class hotel.
