Hotels near JOOT Books, Amsterdam

Such a great experience, the hotel is located in a perfect distance to the city centre/shops and Amsterdam Centraal train station. All reception staff were lovely and easy to communicate with. The room was more on the smaller side however this is bound to be the case as all buildings in Amsterdam are tall and slim. The room was clean, the bed was large and comfy with clean sheets and comfy pillows. The bathroom was clean, the only negative I can think of is that there’s no separation between the shower and toilet space so the floor may get a little bit wet. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay in Amsterdam

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.

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 🤩🤍

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.

We had a really lovely experience at de bedstee which exceeded our expectations. The capsule was much more spacious than we expected (I’m around 5 ft 5 and could kneel) and the air conditioning kept it nice and cool. The double bed was very comfortable with multiple plug sockets and adjustable LED lights and there was enough space on a shelving unit to keep your bags and shoes in - the capsule is obviously lockable so keeps your belongings safe. The wifi was excellent. Also came with dressing gowns and towels for the communal bathrooms. The bathroom was very clean and well equipped with soap, shower gel shampoo and hairdryers. We had a stressful journey with our flight being cancelled and then rebooked with multiple delays, and the staff were very accommodating to this and let us check in very late at night with no additional cost. The only thing is that we were on the top ‘bunk’ which made it a little tricky to climb up the ladder into the capsule but this was not a deal breaker. Location was good, 20-30 min walk into the centre of amsterdam. Would definitely stay here again!!

We stayed a couple of nights in the hotel. It is large hotel with a nice lobby area and is quite new, about 2 years old. Everything is nicely decorated and fresh. There is a large breakfast selection. Be aware it is quite crowded during the late ours of the breakfast and on the weekends. The hotel is located a metro ride or a boat ride from the central station. The train cost 3.20 for one way, meanwhile the boat is free of charge (runs every 10 min). The walking distance to the boat and the metro station is similar (about 15 min). We preferred the boat ride.

Very expensive for below mediocre service.. not at par with other Hilton hotel services! Upon check in (April 14, evening) there was no water in the room. I called and asked for water and was told it is only given to Hilton members, and I am! I told them I am a member and I was told by the female staff at the reception that I should go downstairs to get water! Seriously?! Is this a hostel that you can't bring water to the room?! So I insisted and they brought 1 small bottle! And I asked why only 1, and was told by the female staff it is because I don't have a companion!! She also told me to just drink water from the tap! Regardless if tap water is potable or not, there ahould be bottled water provided! The standard for hotels is to have at least 2 bottles upon check in! The staff even told me I should be polite (because I asked for explanantiom why only 1 bottle can be given to me). I have always said ”please” and if asking for explanation is impolite to her, what does she think of frowning at guest? She even told me I am just a new member hence.. I paid almost Euros 300 per night and you can't give me 2 small bottles of water?! The female staff was also frowning at me as I requested. Even slippers were missing! I was told it is for selected rooms only, but eventually they gave me a pair. The service is really terrible. I booked the room with river view and it was TINY!!! I could barely fit to walk to the bathroom once opened my luggage! The toiletry dispensers were empty! was about to take a shower when I arrived onlynto discover there was no shampoo and shower gel in the dispensers! Couldn't the check before someone checks in?! The bed headboard was dusty!!! The safety box could not be opened!! I locked my valuables inside and it just shut off! The staff came and checked and at first was not itnerested but then I insisted that I needed my passport. She then came again with new batteries, unscrewed and put it back. We were able to open and got my stuff. Before leaving I tried locking it empty and again, it could not be opened! I just ignored and did not use it again, not worth the stress. Breakfast is enough and restaurant staff were nice. also liked the location, far from the crowd with convenient ferry access. I think these are the only positive. Worst Hilton experience!

The room is spacious for one person. There js a safety lock and a fridge in the room. Two water bottles are provided on my first day but that’s it. The reception will suggest you to drink water from the tap. The bathroom is in a good size, not too large and not too small. There is no shower curtain, only half cover glass, and therefore the floor outside the shower area will be wet after taking a shower. Hair dryer is available in the bathroom. Decaf coffee and tea are provided. The hotel is in a convenient location, only one station from the Amsterdam centraal. Spar is the name of the convenient store at the Sloterdijk station.

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)

Poor experience. We were traveling with two little children and we requested if possible to have the room ready as we arrived quite early (11 am) but the answer was no or you can wait 30 mins and pay a supplement. Reception team is very junior and they need more training, never a smile or a friendly approach, and the senior staff just hiding in the back office. We had a family room and they were not enough towels bath soap and there was any hairdryer, we had to come downstairs every time as no one was picking up the phone. The only special mention is for the food and beverage manager(Romina and another pregnant lady-sorry I didn’t get your name) super helpful and smiling, thanks. Location wise is very convenient if you have an early flight but there is so little around the hotel, you’ve to get the bus to find a restaurant Breakfast was ok but If you’re a coffee only breakfast person I would suggest the caffè macchiato in front of the hotel, great croissant So I would go back? Definitely not as I wasn’t feeling welcome
