Hotels near Insulinde en Europa, Amsterdam

We stayed for four nights and this hotel was excellent in every way. The room was comfortable, clean and well maintained during our stay. The breakfast was a buffet that stretched from bacon and scrambled egg, through yogurt, fruit, granola all the way to pancakes and syrup, coffee and tea: basically it catered for all tastes. We hired bikes from the hotel on one day and rode across the city to find a wild swimming spot near the National Maritime Museum: a great way to get to know the city! The best aspect of the hotel was the staff: the receptionists were always positive and ready to help, the kitchen staff kept everything efficiently stocked up and the chamber maids were cheerful and helpful. I can throughly recommend this hotel - we are planning to return next year and we will certainly stay there again.

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.

Yesterday night we stayed at Di Ann Hotel in Amsterdam just for one night. We paid a total of 192 euros, not the cheapest hotel in the area and disappointment cannot even begin to describe what we felt. When we arrived at the hotel room we were disgusted by the filth that there was present. Bed covers were dirty and had a wet feeling when you touched them, the duvet was covered in big staying, there was only one plug available and the room looked nothing like the picture. What is more, the room was covered in dust and soundproofing was not even in the plans for them. To give you a better vibe think of a creepy motel in the middle of nowhere. To add to this disaster the window that was facing the road was so thin that you felt like you were sleeping on the side of the road. Correct me if I am wrong but hotels are supposed to provide the necessities for your stay, towels, and toilet paper, well this one didn't have any. I have been working in the hotel industry for a few years now and I have been traveling from a very young age. The only thing I can say is that I have stayed in a cabin in the ASmaxon forest and not only was it cleaner and we actually enjoyed our stay it was also way cheaper. When I said to the receptionist all of my problems they just told me they will pass it along. I don't think it's going to lead somewhere, in my opinion, this place has to be closed down its a matter of public health, and calling it a scam is very generous.

We arrived early (about 11.30am) to leave our bags but we were kindly offered a room that was available straight away which was very kind. Our room was clean and spacious. Nice clean linen and comfy beds with a nice view of the Main Street. Air con/heating worked well. No street noise at night that I noticed although we were on the 4th floor. All staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Lovely free coffee in reception area. Great budget hotel in an excellent location. Will definitely stay here again

Very lovely hotel, great location to museums and trams. Friendly staff. But noisy but that didn’t bother us at all. Room was small but my daughter and I enjoyed the coziness after a long day exploring. We had a great view too! Room tidied, bins emptied etc. Good shower with plenty of hot water.

It ’s so cute. If it ’s not a taxi pick-up, it should be hard to find. There is no signboard. There is a welcome drink .. The food is ok, but the room is very small enough to leave without room for luggage. The floor to the other side has to take a narrow staircase, it is very difficult for girls to carry luggage. A little overpriced .. Although the hotels are expensive during the exhibition, but the city center hotels at the same price, the rooms are mostly large.

Definitely one of the coolest hostel I’ve been. Super cool stuff,easy and fast check in and out , great facilities,bar ,coffee shop , hall area super chill atmosphere. I am very satisfied with my stay in this hostel and with reception staff. Location is perfect too . I had lovely stay and will definitely come again and recommend it to everyone. Only one thing is not good ,check in is at 4pm and check out is at 10am 😭 that’s kinda annoying 🤷♀️ but all other things are just great 🤩🤍

Great western Amsterdam is a very good hotel if you prefer to stay a little quiet area. It’s about 30 mins to get into Amsterdam central station and all the popular sight seeing places. The service provided by hotel staffs were generally very good. Room is spacious and clean also Highly recommended

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)

I chose this hôtel as I was travelling from the UK to see Dépêche Mode at the Ziggo Dome. And stayed two nights. Jaz in the City is just steps away from the Ziggo entrance so you can’t get any closer! It’s also great as a base for Amsterdam sightseeing. From the airport there’s a direct train (hotel is a 10-15 min walk from Bijlmer ArenA station). You can also hop on the metro here for a 20 min ride to Centraal. As Amsterdams public transport is so good (compared to Bristol in the UK where I live) you can confidently rely on it to get you wherever you need to be efficiently! Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. From front desk, bar, restaurant and housekeeping. Everyone (thankfully) spoke English which is ideal for me as I can just about say hello and thank you in Dutch! Special shout out to Mr Omelette Maker at breakfast. The perfect start to a day of sightseeing!! I’m sure they’re are cheaper options but I’m of an age where I understand that you get what you pay for. This hotel in my opinion is great. It looks good, is super clean and well maintained and importantly ＜feels＞ good.
