Don't get conned by this establishment! It looks nice from the outside but once you're in, the service is atrocious! There's great pretence in ”trying” to serve and assist/help in anything (from restaurant reservations to car park ticket validations) - it's all one big farce! The only commendable thing was the buffet breakfast - that's the only plus point.

The room was clean and comfortable and a good rate through Trip.com. The staff were polite and helpful. I stayed three nights and the room was not serviced during my stay. Someone did knock on my door around 5pm the day before I was leaving and asked if I needed the room to be cleaned. I declined as I had been out all day and needed to relax. Apart from the lack of housekeeping my stay was generally good.

We had a great stay at Inntel Amsterdam Hotel. The location was excellent—just a short walk to Primark, London Dungeon, and plenty of great food options. It was also conveniently near the train station, making it easy to get around. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a well-located and comfortable stay in Amsterdam. Would definitely recommend! :)

Oost-Watergraafsmeer Amsterdam|1.92km from city centre
The service is horrible. They hadn’t prepared my room when I arrived so I had to wait up to two hours. I imagine if I hadn’t constantly asked them if it was ready I would have had to wait longer. The first person I talked to wasn’t even apologetic about it, to the point that they were straight up rude. It’s nice that the other person I talked to was much more accommodating. My charger fell in the space between the bed and the wall and when I retrieved it, there were piles of dust under the bed. The walls and floors were also dirty as there were suspicious dried liquids on them. The person who changes/brings new bedding would also place them on the floor which is unhygienic. The only nice things about this hostel is the park outside.

Firstly the hotel is located directly in front of a tram which was very convenient for moving around locally in town, the rooms are well maintained and very nice. The breakfast buffet was amazing, would recommend adding it to your reservation as food in Amsterdam is quite expensive. We were checked in by Youssef, who was so nice, helpful and accommodating to my friends and I. Overall a wonderful experience and great customer service

Service of the reception staff was great. Rooms were in good condition, had a room without a bath, and changed to a room with a bath without any problems. I would gladly go back because of tram/bus service to town and most available in same area. Just a shame they charged us 5 Euros for an hour earlier check in. There's a non smoking and no bar/ restaurant but plenty around the hotel. All in all a fat 9.....

Charming quaint hotel situated right near Albert Cuyp. The hotel was in great condition & location was perfect - off a quiet street but close walking distance to the main museums, trendy cafes, restaurants & markets. Room was quiet, clean & comfortable. Friendly, professional, easy going front desk reception. The common areas were all very well maintained, the room although small, was perfect for our needs - also very clean & perfectly renovated with nice fixtures. My mom & I shared the family room for 4 pax - it was perfect for 2, as we got to have our own separate space in a small room. This is a not a budget hotel, rather $300 USD per night. The value was noticeable. We did not opt in for breakfast which is a separate fee but coffee & tea was included for hotel guests. Ease of check in & check out was a plus. Everything was pleasant - clean, modern, updated & fresh. Highly recommend Hotel Nicolaas Witsen & would absolutely return :)

Firstly, the location is really good. It is near to both the NS train station (for convenient commute from airport) and the Metro station (for convenient commute to the city). Secondly, the breakfast offers good selection of food (the freshly squeezed orange juice is amazing). The option to exchange free drinks for skipping housekeeping is nice. Nice bar on top of the hotel and the service level is good. Next, the negative points: the room. Room is very small. The toilet doesn’t have shower screen door, so the water splashes everywhere when you shower; massive design failure. The ‘human’ bedhead design is a bit eerie and not so sleep-friendly as we felt like the ‘human art’ wall was constantly staring at us, making it uncomfortable to sleep in. Check-in process also took a bit of time, creating bottleneck for guests wanting to check out.
