Hotel Uptown, or Rookies as it is now more effectionatlly known was ideal for our needs as a crash pad for somewhere to stay during our short break to the Dam in April 2008. The phrase you get what you pay for very much rings true here - which was fine as I assume most people visiting Amsterdam are not... more

Came to visit Amsterdam and wanted to stay close to the Leidseplein. Our room was a double. It was quite small but had a wonderful view and was clean (except for a bad water stain by the bathroom door). The breakfast was included and very good. The front desk guy was very nice and helpful with directions and things to... more

Just finished a 6 day visit to Amsterdam and stayed at the Rookies Hotel. We found the hotel to be clean and fine for the price paid. We have stayed in Amsterdam twice before, once at one of the big hotels on Damrak and the other time in a canal house at the seven bridges. The Rookies Hotel was nothing... more

Then if you would like to experience it, book a room at hotel the Rookies. The worst place where I have ever stayed, rooms are very tiny, breathless and the receptionists are completely mad... I would not even recommend it to my worst enemy!!!! more

Tired, small, dirty over priced rooms !!! Beware travellers the owner Billy is a thief he stole cash and a mobile phone out of our room. more

I stayed here in May with a friend of mine, he had stayed before and recommended it highly. The location is fantastic, the room was immaculate and the staff were great - slightly crazy, in a good way (to be expected given the kind of hotel it is)! We had a deluxe twin with bath, the beds were very comfortable,... more

This is the second time I have chosen to stay in the Uptown Hotel, main reason is because its a good value hotel in Leidseplein and this is my favourite area in Amsterdam. There is such a good selection of restaurants, bars and coffeeshops. Trams 1, 2 or 5 will get you to Leidseplein square from Central Station and then... more
