We always stays in Amsterdam on our way back to US. This hotel is one of the best hotel we have found in this price-class. (We paid Eur 135 without breakfast.) The location is great and the walk from the train-station is a short 5-10 minutes walk. The surroundings is nice and it's easy to walk to bar's restaurants and... more

It is exactly what it says it is Chic - painted white and very minimalist. Modern reception lounge Basic - nothing more than you need. Some rooms apparently don't have bathrooms. Our room did have a bathroom but no door (not overly ideal!) The key thing about this hotel is it's location, it is so central. It is just a... more

WOW! This is an amazing hotel in every way: Picture this: You walk from Central Station to the hotel within 10 minutes which is ideally situated along the canal Herengracht. As soon as you enter the hotel everything is made easy for you: a quick check in and the friendly staff shows you around in their lovely hotel! They booked... more

Chic & Basic is situated in an unassuming corner that faces the canal, quiet and serene, away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads BUT, all required to get to the main area like Dam Square with just a little 5-10 minutes walk out, and viola, we are at the heart of the city! True to its claimed,... more

It was great. Although a 2-star hotel, everythink was great. My partner and I had a mini-suite on the top floor and we were amazed how cosy it was. The bed was confortable and the most important thing is that every corner of the room was very clean. Perfect location (5 minutes walk from the station) and great staff. The... more

Great Hotel, good location excellent staff. We stayed April 13 & 14 after transalantic cruise. Everything was great, the problem was with us as we are 68 and 70 years old and the stairs give us trouble, and that is not the hotels fault. more
