This is the second time we have stayed at Chic and Basic on both ends of our European trip. While all the comments about small rooms and steep stairs are accurate (over time we've stayed in 4 different rooms on different flours), we have found this hotel very much to our liking. The location is great - quiet neighborhood overlooking... more

Jordan area is where to stay! We had 2 rooms at Chic & Basic. One was large with adequate stowaway space for 2 of us staying 5 nights - biggest problem was the noisy neighbor in the next building who started his parties at midnight. Our second room was tiny - since it was only for one night is was... more

The best thing about this hotel is the location. That is where it ends though. We checked in at 7pm at night and stood outside in the rain because the front door was locked. After half a dozen buzzes someone came to let us in. We were quickly taken to our "room" which was outside of the main building and... more

My partner and I stayed at this lovely hotel for 4 nights at the beginning of May. We were welcomed to the hotel by the receptionist who then escorted us up to our room. The room was spacious, the room had 2 single beds, spare fold up bed, a small balcony, window, cupboard/wardrobe, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, tv, welcome... more

Chic & Basic was a lovely laid back little hotel. Fantastic location by the canals, friendly staff. Rooms weren't great but fine for a few days. No room service but you can help yourself to coffee, tea or chocolate from the kitchen any time of day or night. Would recommend it to people visiting Amsterdam for a few days. Not... more

Stayed here with my wife. Lovely hotel in a nice area. Easy 5/10 minutes walk from Centraal Station. Easy to find. Great view from rooms on the river. Stairs are a little steep. Note that if they haven't mentioned that breakfast is included do not assume. But for €7.50 I couldn't argue with the Cold Cut Buffet with all the... more

We booked based on the location, the price and the hotel’s website pictures which were nothing close to reality! The things that bother me the most was that the room was tiny for the amount of money that we paid. The window was very small with no view at all (in fact we did have a view…the basement!!) and no... more

The Good...Check in staff member was very friendly, location excellent and the reception and communal areas very nicely decorated. Bed comfortable and room clean. The Bad...Room had a tiny, cell-like single window that was also filthy dirty, allowing very little natural light in. Showering was difficult because the shower partition was broken and half missing, allowing the bathroom to become... more

Chose this hotel for its very good price and stylish all-white rooms. We spent 3 nights here in February 2009 and were highly satisfied with the service: staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast (7,50 €) was very good, fresh and abundant. At any time of the day and night, you can go to the lobby for a free cup of... more

We stayed at Chic & Basic from Good Friday to Easter Sunday 2009. We'd booked based on various reviews but also due to what we saw on the hotel website. The rooms are sold as modern and comfortable. The fact is that not all of the rooms are like this. We had booked a medium room via easytobook.com When we... more
