Best Hotels near Meneer Tabak, Amsterdam

The service was very good, nice personnel at the front desk, the room was cleaned every day and so on. Very good location near the city center and therefore I can kinda understand the price of the room etc My room was on the 3rd floor, the elevator only goes to the 2nd floor, not really a big deal but a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, the room itself felt clean and fresh, nothing to complain about there besides that the shower pressure was insanly low, sometimes the water just stopped running at all during a shower... But the big issue is the size of the room itself and what you get for over a €100 a night, I booked a single room for one person, and the room feels like it's built around the frame of the bed, the room is incredible small, smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in and the most expensive one as well. The bathroom is so small that the toilet is placed just behind the sink so you barely have room to actually sit on the toilet, and the glass door to the shower can only be opened on one side... the side where the sink is so you have about 30cm of room to get out of the shower because the sink is in the way... Like I said, the room felt clean and fresh, but it is ridiculously small. Overall a good stay, the room was good enough for sleeping in but for the size of the room and what you pay for it doesn't really add up, over a €100 a night for a room barely bigger than the bed itself is kinda weird.

We had booked a Cosy room and that’s what we got, not very big but big enough for our needs. The room was also very clean and beautifully decorated. We were able to check in to our room early and we had a room on the second floor facing the Rijksmuseum. This meant we were also facing the construction site. This was a worry at first but realistically they didn’t start work until after 10am and we were awake by this point anyway. The hotel is in the Museum district so is close to many great museums, it is also a short walk from Vondelpark which is beautiful and a great place to ride a rental bike. It is on the top edge of Central Amsterdam and everything is within walking distance including many cafes and restaurants.. The hotel staff were all friendly and a nice cleaner helped us to work the aircon. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I find myself back in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Also, for anyone that is curious the tap water is lovely. We filled out bottles every day before venturing out.

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.

We loved this stay! Perfect for an weekend getaway. It isn't very central but really well connected with the trams. The concept of the hotel is extremely fun and the staff were lovely. We stayed in the Invisible Room and had a great night sleep on a very comfy bed. We didn't eat in the restaurant but having a spot for breakfast, coffee and an evening cocktail was great. However, the room was quite compact (so I wouldn't want to stay beyond a long weekend) and sharing a bathroom made it closer to a hostel than a hotel. Great find if you are willing to compromise on en suite / spacious room and prefer a unique experience.

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.

NO ELEVATOR, STEEP STAIRS! The people at reception were nice. I left my iPad by accident after checking out, called to see if housekeeping found it and someone from reception brought it down to me so I wouldn’t have to go up the stairs again, which I appreciated a lot. Room was tiny - enough room to walk in & leave a suitcase, then the bed took up the majority of the room, which I personally liked. Bathroom is odd - toilet at one end, sink in middle, and shower on other end without a curtain or anything, it’s just the shower head with a drain on the floor. Wouldn’t go to this hotel again for the stairs alone, otherwise (if you don’t mind steep stairs) it is a nice place to stay and in a good location.

The room was well furnished, the bed was reasonably comfortable (although we had to both ask for another pillow as they were quite flat). The bathroom was huge - and they provided you with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc. and a hairdryer. The room was tidy and kept clean each day, (although sometimes not fully restocked - for example not enough tea bags/toiletries refreshed!). It had a Nespresso machine (although instructions would be handy as it took us a while to sort boiling water out!) The location was close to a few supermarkets - one next door, (handy since you have a fridge in your room), a few cafes, a bar and a few places to eat. Its a 2minute walk from a tram/bus stop which took you into the centre in 15-20 minutes. They also had bike hire there for a reasonable price, so you could use that to get into the centre. The staff were friendly and I would highly recommend for the price!

We loved our stay at Zaan Hotel. Fantastic location. It is just opposite to the train station, from where you can access trains to the airport, Amsterdam and various other destinations. The train to Amsterdam is only about 12 minutes ride. The train to the airport is only 3 stops away and about 18 mins ride. There is a fairly large supermarket opposite the hotel. It being in the heart of Zaandam, has several cafes, restaurants and beautiful shops as well as high street stores extremely nearby. We had a great time walking around the shopping street and also got to enjoy local Dutch food at the cafes. The hotel location is EXCELLENT in one word. Fairytale place is how we would describe Zaandam. We were very happy with the service at the hotel too. Our comfort family room was spacious. The fridge in the room is very useful. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and toiletries replenished. The staff were very helpful. All areas of the hotel are very well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was lovely too and so was the dinner. We would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip in the Netherlands.

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)

Friendly staff, quick check in and if you book via a third party you pay taxes it's not much to be honest. Rooms are constantly being cleaned, big kitchen to do some cooking. There's a shop behind 5minutes away. Big community area and plenty of activities to engage in. It'd a ferry away from Centraal train station which is convenient
