2-Star Hotels in Amsterdam

This is honestly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was perfect — the cleanliness, the decoration, and the overall atmosphere. What made this place truly special is the staff. Every single person I met was incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely warm. You can really feel that they care, and it makes all the difference. The luggage storage service before check-in and after check-out is very convenient and included, which is a big plus. They even offer free coffee, snacks, drinks and more, which is amazing. And the breakfast is incredibly good and very varied — honestly one of the best I’ve had. I would definitely come back if I return to Amsterdam. I can’t thank them enough. And also the staff speak multiple languages, which makes communication very easy. If you’re still hesitating, just go for it! This place deserves 10 stars, not 5.

Great location and comfortable stay You really couldn’t ask for a better location — the hostel is only about a 9-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station and right in the heart of the action. The hostel is clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. Each bed has a locker, personal light, USB ports and a standard power socket, plus a hook for hanging clothes. The air conditioning was very strong, which was great during the summer heat. The stairs are quite steep, so heavy luggage can be a challenge, and the ladder to the top bunk is a little difficult to use. The toilets were clean, although I had an issue with the hot water one evening. The showers also require you to press the button every few seconds to keep the water running. The staff were very polite, friendly and accommodating, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. There’s also convenient luggage storage next door after check-out — €1 per hour or €5 for the whole day. The only real downside is the noise, especially late in the evening. However, this is to be expected given the very central location in Amsterdam’s busy party area. Overall, I had a very comfortable stay and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a short stay in Amsterdam, especially if you want to be close to the station and all the main attractions.

I was at the Harry Styles concert and due to railway maintenance, I couldn't get back home without a lot of transfers. I was very pleasantly surprised by the location, the friendliness, and the service from the staff member. I missed having a cup in the bathroom for brushing my teeth, but otherwise, there was nothing to complain about. The shower was wonderful! I would book again instantly (also for a concert at the Arena).

The front desk staff were all very friendly, and the room was a pretty standard dorm. The shower had a bit of a drain smell if you showered for a long time, but it was okay. The bathroom, though, had a slight urine odor. The bed curtains were nice, but unfortunately, my perfume was stolen during my stay. You really need to hide your valuables well here.

We e-mailed them to ask if we could add an extra bed in the room and they said yes (obviously for a fee). When we arrived they forgot about this but when I reminded them and they saw the bank transfer they said it would have still been possible to add the extra bed. Beside this, location was perfect and the room was clean. A bit small but it’s fair for the price. Also deposit is 100€.

The staff was lovely, the location was ok about 30 mins walk to Amsterdam Central but the tram goes there and is cheap only 10 euros in 24 hrs. Tv was not working but I didn't watch TV So it didn't bother me, The room is clean but basic it had a shower and toilet which was clean. I didn't use room service. Generally we had a good experience the hairdryer was not very hot so took a long time todry.

Room is a bit small and shower doesn’t have the curtain so it’s all wet after the shower. Bed is very comfortable. No kettle, tea or coffee. But the location, I’d stay there again.

The location is good, quite close to Amsterdam station and the city center. To enter the hotel, you have to go to the reception of the hotel next door and have them open the door for you, which is a bit of a hassle, but the location is good and the room is just up the stairs, so overall it is convenient. The toilet and shower are shared outside the room, but there is a sink in the room.

The location is spectacular, and the room itself was fine. The downsides: As I'd seen in other comments, the stairs are very steep. The room they gave me didn't have a double bed; it was two small beds pushed together, which was a bit uncomfortable for a couple. Also, the noise from outside is very loud. I was able to sleep, but if you're someone who struggles to fall asleep, I wouldn't recommend it because you can hear everything, and there are kids screaming outside at all hours of the night. The hotel reception was good.

Ett bra hotell med bra läge. Lätt att ta sig till alla möjliga platser man vill utforska. Väldigt smidigt trots att det inte finns någon personlig reception på hotellet så är det väldigt enkelt att komma i kontakt personal både via hotellet och WhatsApp.
