We stay in a canal room room, very romantic! Modern, stylish and very good value for money. Is not for you if you don't like climbing stairs! more

This hotel is ideally located near the train station but in a beautiful street in the Jordaan neighborhood. The amenities are more than you would expect at this price point - free internet, wi-fi throughout the hotel, friendly service, and clean and comfortable rooms with great showers! We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Amsterdam. more

I have stayed at Chic & Basic Amsterdam several times during the last couple of years. Most of the rooms are great but once they put me in a windowless cramped room on the ground floor (try to avoid that one). If you decide to spend a bit more money on the room you get a great view over the... more

The hotel is as described on the website. Loved the location; staff very friendly; free coffee and wi-fi; spotlessly clean.... and had they delivered the room that had been agreed when I made the booking 5 months earlier, all would have been fine and dandy but.... ... on check in I was told that the room that had been agreed... more

This hotel is in a great location right by the canal and although describes itself as basic provides all that is needed for a comfortable base whilst staying in Amsterdam. The room was small but very clean with all the usual facilities such as a hair dryer, iron ect. The decorations were great, querky and very well done. There were... more

My friend and I stayed here for 10 days in June. Recommended by a colleague of mine who stayed there with her family. Truly enjoyed our stay, we had the large modern room, which was very clean and spacious. Like the name of the hotel, it is chic and basic. Very good breakfast in the mornings, and free internet access.... more

I stayed in a medium "basic" room, but it was anything but. The room was a nice size considering it was in Europe. I had a full bathtub, sink, desk, nice bed and AWESOME canal view (see photos). It's a hop, skip, and a jump from Amsterdam Centraal Station (I walked, rolling a full suitcase), and is within walking distance... more

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
