Stayed here for two nights a week before Christmas whilst on a cruise package. Overall we must have paid about £20 for two nights for the accomadation so we didnt expect much, however, we were pleasantly surprised. ROOM: The room was small but was clean and cosy and had everything you needed. The TV helped for the morning after when... more

On arrival the lady at the desk spoke impeccable English and was very friendly and helpful. Beds are stupidly comfy! Ensuite wetroom. Really like the fact that there was four of us and we could have 1 room. TV with loads of channels incl BBC1. Excellent location - walking distance to anywhere incl red light district, Dam Square, Central station,... more

If you dont do stairs easily dont stay here. There are several floors in this hotel and no lift. Our room was a split level triple bedded room. Basic and clean. Nice large flat screen tv. Continental breakfast is served in your room. The hotel is very central with a good variety of restaurants in the same street. Might recommend... more

Hotels location is excellent, easy walk from Central Station and located less than a min away from Dam square and ~4min away from red light district. The street its based on is very busy, and has lots of... more

We have just returned from a long weekend in Amsterdam. We initially looked for cheaper hostlels but were put off by the consistently bad (at times scary) reviews of most cheap hostels/hotels. In the end we chose to pay a little more and stayed at the Hotel De Gerstekorrel. The hotel did not disappoint and we were pleasantly surprised at... more

Let's be honest, this is a budget hotel ideally suited for boozy weekends in Amsterdam. At £60 a night this place is a bargain considering the following: 1. Amsterdam hotels can be pretty obscene tariff wise 2. It was en-suite 3. It was clean 4. It had a great location (if your intention is getting drunk) As I was travelling... more

We managed to find a double room on Expedia for about 60 euros, which was a decent price for our budget. The room was small but clean and comfortable, the staff friendly, and most of all, the hotel is very well located. The only negative thing was that there was no shampoo or soap in the shower, but as long... more

From the start I have to say I have known The Gerstekorrel ("In de Gerstekorrel" as it used to be) since 1966 and have been STAYING as a "regular" since 1972.My own 2 yr.absence recently has only been due to an intractible "domestic" situation,NOT to any "loss of faith" at all..indeed..the very OPPOSITE ! YES..a very "tourist/family" type it IS.However,the... more
