Amsterdam Amsterdam-West 3-star Hotels

We stayed with a Rick Steve's tour group. This company is clear to advise you that you will be staying in moderate European hotels on their tours, meaning they may have limited or no air conditioning, may have street noise, may be small, etc. This hotel had all of these drawbacks. Again, this was as advertised to us but something other U.S. travelers may want to know as the standards are very different. The unadvertised problem with this hotel is that it is dirty. We had two rooms, both of which were sloppy or sticky when we arrived and got no better with housekeeping. Both rooms had dirty linens, to the point of being stained; full of hair and other flotsam; and smelling bad in one of the rooms. I actually tied a pajama top around my pillow hoping to lessen the smell of it. They were working on housekeeping throughout our stay so I don't know where the disconnect was. We don't normally stay at hotels at this classification but it's a part of the tour culture for this company. We have been on several tours with them previously so knew what to expect and how to adjust our expectations. We tried to roll with this place hoping it would just make for a funny story but ultimately could not tolerate it; we checked out early and paid for another hotel. I don't think I've posted a hotel review in a decade, that's how unpleasant it was. There are plenty of other poor reviews here, including from other people on Rick Steve's tours so it's not a one off. I'll be sharing my unhappiness with the company in the hopes they change hotels. I understand they have a long relationship with them but we are too far past COVID restrictions for this to be tolerated. If you aren't with a tour group there is no reason to stay here. On the positive side it is very centrally located and the staff were okay. Relative to some other hotels in this category we stayed at it was modern. It just isn't clean.

The hotel is older, the facilities are slightly older and the carpet looks dirty. The sound of closing the door in other rooms is louder, the faucet is a little leaky, it is very hard to switch, and the heat of the water is difficult to adjust. The elevator is so small that you can probably stand two people. The room is really small, probably the general situation in Amsterdam. The street room will be a bit noisy and there will be a car. The location is very good, less than ten minutes is Leighton Square, a lot of places to eat. Walking to the National Museum and the Van Gogh Museum are not far away. You can pick up hot water at the water bar, and the postage at the front desk will help you post postcards. Hope the doors and faucets could be fixed or changed.

Basic rooms, had to pay if you want your towels changed, charge to clean room or bedding changed, when shower was on the whole toilet was soaking wet, we stayed in room 1 first night was very noisy with people coming into reception. The reception staff don’t now how to be quite in the morning as we were right next to the desk we heard every conversation. The reception staff were nice and friendly. Was a very basic room could do with a bit more of a friendly touch as it’s just a bed and telly on the wall and wardrobe (small). This place is ok for a few nights but Cldnt have stayed any longer. Location is good.

This hotel was firstly picked due to previous reviews, location and price. So everything was good here. All the staff we met were good friendly people, well done. We had a room for 3 persons that was situated at the back of the hotel, nice and quiet away from the road noise. Room was 114. A decent size with 3 single beds, and a Nespresso machine!, brilliant. room was clean and tidy and towels were changed every day even though we tried to save them. Didn't eat here so can commit. We had an opening window into a wooded area, that was good to see the parrots flying around, however a bit of a mess outside and someone has left their shovel!. We used the bus from the airport that stops just around the corner from this hotel, and costs around £6.50 a single journey. So really handy to get there. The hotel is a short walk from the main areas, so a good plus point. Would I stay at this hotel again, and recommend for the reasons I picked it? YES

This a very nice hotel and is a great location. Don't let the entry and ”lobby” scare you off, it is VERY tiny, but the rooms are not. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom was a good size as well. There was an AC unit in the room that we could control and were able to run the AC at night. We had a corner room and I think that might have given us a little more space. The street it's on seems busy during the day, but it is quiet at night and outside noise was not an issue. The location is great. It was central to everything we were doing while we were visiting and is near the museums, restaurants and bars. The front desk person gave us the BEST recommendation for a breakfast restaurant that is right by the hotel - Ted's and reserved a taxi for us when it was time to go to the airport. You'll need to reserve the taxi the day/night before. If you let them know what time you need to leave, they will make the arrangements with the taxi company. I would stay here again.

The Conscious Hotel is what we like as spontaneous travelers and backpackers. Fine and uncomplecated service. You can organise almost everything online. The keycards for the rooms can be loaded at the desk. In addition there is a 24/7 service. Also the choice for breakfast is fine. You can choose between a small one in the foyer and delicious organic breakfast in attached Café Moer. The service personal is very friendly. The rooms are fine, clean, bright. The only thing which could need an update is the furniture. In addition to the bed there was only a hard chair. One armchair would be grant to relax out side the bed and would make the room much more comfortable. One big advantage is the proximity to sever public transport stations. One suggestion from my side. We booked th two rooms for three people and payed the full price for two rooms. A discount would be great in this case.

+ Good breakfast + Nice bar / restaurant which is open till late + Quiet room even though it is next to the elevator + Bus stop to central station right outside the hotel - Requested a double bed but turned out to be two single beds, which is fine.

Yes, I booked late and got the lower floor single room, for the price I had expected more. The staff was very helpful. No complaints there. The room was small, but quite adequate for a few days. It looked directly out on the hotel's garden, which might bother some. Bathroom tiny, like all bathrooms in Amsterdam, but manageable. Décor was attractive, the bed and pillow were comfortable but paint chips were just about everywhere, even a burned cigarette hole in one of the chairs. The carpet was not clean. Breakfast was sub par. In Amsterdam I've always gotten more variety and better quality. Of course, it was largely preferable to spending who knows how much at a nice breakfast place in the area. You may have guessed, I love to load up big on breakfast and then stay out fully energized for as long as possible. This strategy may not appeal most people though. One of the big pros is, obviously, the location, especially if you are a museum fanatic like me. I was there to see the fabulous Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum so a 8-minute walk gets you first in line no sweat. And if like me, you've stayed hours in the museum, the short walk back to the hotel is a life saver. So, I'd love to be more lenient because the staff was kind and really helpful but I do hope to avoid disappointments for other travelers who are, unlike me, more concerned about the hotel they are in. I would suggest you don't get the lower level rooms and things might be better. Rule out breakfast though. Hope that helps...enjoy Amsterdam.

The hotel was in a perfect location, not too close but not too far. Close to tram stops and Vondel park! The staff were lovely and the rooms were kept very clean.
