Amsterdam House Hotel

Located in the heart of Amsterdam, at walking distance from everything a tourist might wish to visit. Hotel is located in the historical building with views to Canals of Amsterdam. The breakfast is outstanding for a three star hotel. The staff was very attentive to any questions and needs. I do highly recommend it taking into consideration price and quality.

An honest review on our stay here. Many of the reviews we saw on this place was bed bugs, me and my partner tried to swap to another hotel but it would’ve cost 400 euros to do that so we though we’d just chance it. We arrived at around 5/6pm to the hotel and the owner checked us in, he seemed very friendly. We did ask if could have an upgrade as it was our anniversary but they was fully booked which is fine. We got room 25 on the second floor, think it’s one of the smallest rooms we’ve stayed in lol, it was tiny. The hotel is very dated but we quite liked the aesthetic of it. However saying this our room wasn’t the cleanest, it was very dusty, there was dead bugs on the floor, the windows were just wooden and quite thin so it let in rain water when it was shut, saying this though the room get really warm at night. The bathroom was okay there was black spots over the walls, same in the bedroom not sure if it was mould or just dirt but the whole room needed some TLC. Once we got in the room we immediately searched for bed bugs and anything that resembled them, thankfully we couldn’t find any but we was still a bit nervous when we slept, the bed was actually really comfy. Going back to the hotel being dated, at night you could hear everything, people walking, talking, there was a room above us where they was constantly coming in late and it kept us up a lot, you could hear them do everything like open their door, put plugs in the wall, talk. If you’re a light sleeper wouldn’t recommend this place. We didn’t have breakfast so I can’t comment on that but the lounge where they served breakfast seemed really nice and matched the hotel. The location is brilliant you’re about a 20 minute walk from the train station, you can pretty much walk anywhere in Amsterdam. Anne Franks house was about 25 minute walk, red light district about 15 minute walk. If you want cheaper food/drinks I’d recommend walking out of the area a little bit as it was quite pricy. Our favourite pub was called “The three sisters” which was about a 2 minute walk and was good with English serving food and wasn’t too expensive. Overall I probably wouldn’t come back to the the hotel we’d rather pay the extra to go somewhere a bit cleaner; we didn’t really feel safe leaving our bags there. But if you want cheap/location then this is perfect. Just read the reviews before you stay on the bed bug situation.
