A short walk from the train station led us to this great hotel along the historical Herengracht. Reception staff was always friendly and keen to help. Some may say that the breakfast is too limited, but for myself and for the price I had to pay for my two night stay bread with butter and jam plus a wide selection... More

Arriving in Amsterdam, i was unsure what to expect. My partner had already visited the city a few times. The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. Unfortunately there was a mix up and we were put in a small (older style) room, but we got moved to a gorgeous room the next night.The good service in which we received,... More

We stayed at the chic and basic in a basement room for 3 nights. Overall, I quite liked the hotel. It's very much what the name implies, a stylish place with all your basic needs. We would stay again. Pro's: -Great location just a few minutes walk from central station but not in the thick of the touristy area -Modern... More

Very clean hotel, downstairs has a seating area and free coffee and tea. We stayed in a large vintage room, quite quirky with bats and butterflies painted on the wall. The room had a fantastic view over the canal but was small. However for the rate we paid you cannot complain! Fresh towels every day although the maid tended to... More

My husband and I ended our European honeymoon in Amsterdam at this hotel. The room was uncomfortably small. The door hit the bed when you opened it. There was very little closet space, it was humid in the room, the bathroom was tiny. It was loud, as well. We could hear people walking in the hallway and opening/shutting doors. Our... More

Cannot comment on the breakfast as we failed to get up either morning. Coffee facilities a nice touch though. The staff... More

The name did describe (mostly) this hotel. Definitely basic; and mostly trying to be chic. We stayed in an 'updated' room, which was small (not much bigger than the bed), but clean and did what it needed to. Found the sayings on soap, shampoo, room keys, etc. very amusing! Walking distance from the Central Station was great; we stayed here... More
