+ Just i liked my stay in hotel amstelzicht, good location near night life :)

+ Having a spare room for us to stay. - Sheets and room was quite dirty, only bathroom products supplied was 1 ply toilet paper and hand wash which they also put in the shower for you to wash yourself with. not enough privacy.

+ Excellent location, in the very center of amsterdam. the apartement for 2 people (120 €/day) has an outstanding value for money and a wonderful view on the nearby canal. - Steep stairs (quite usual in amsterdam)

+ Lovely view over canal at the frount of building - The stairs are like a ladder,try carring a suitcase up one and you'll understand,room check in 5pm and depart by 11am when you have to clean your own room,empty dishwasher,take rubbish down ladders (stairs)you basically do everything and lose your stay as the check out times are a rip off! our dishwasher was broken and full of dirty cutlery hotel did nothing and the other appartment we hired leaked,absolutely loads of water came splashing through ceiling and not just a trickle. we hired two canal view appartments which werent cheap and felt cheated,they were not up to standard we are bunch of 30 and 50 somethyings on a hen weekend and all were gutted over the rooms. staff were so so not brilliant but a little helpfull with sight seeing. great location i must add!!! will not be satying here again..

+ Staff extremely helpful and friendly. good location for the price. - Very steep skinny stairs...room was clean but shabby and seriously humid. no air con..although that pretty much goes for all of amsterdam.

+ The staff were extemely friendly and helpful. even with my negative comments below - it is an inexpensive hotel which is right next to rembrant square and in front of the amstel which is good. - We stayed in a quad room and unfortunatley it is right next to a bar that plays loud music into the early morning on some nights. there is also just one key for your room, although if you ask you can get a second set (not so great for 4 separate people). they have no lift and evil amsterdam skinny steep stairs.

+ Comfortable, clean good location - N/a

+ The staff was very very friendly and helpfull in finding your way around amsterdam. the shower and the bathroom were also quite clean and tidy which most of us people do aprove of. - There were unwashable stains on the cheets of the bed and some of the lamps didn't always work but those are minor remarks about the hotel, there is nothing else negatove to commend on

+ Very kind and helpful hotel staff. - The club behind amstelzicht (think it is escape) they crushed glas at around 6 every morning. couldn't sleep very well.

+ Enjoyed this hotel. the staff was very pleasant and helpful. we were always greeted with a smile and a willingness to help in whatever way possible. my room had an excellent view. the hotel was quaint and a bit of a tourist attraction as it is slanted and people from the canal were constantly taking pictures. also very centrally located which made getting around very, very easy. i travelled alone with with my 12 year old son and he appreciated all the english tv! the bathroom was spotless! - Could use new fabric on the headboard and a carpet cleaning.

+ Very conveniently located; helpful staff carried my heavy suitcase up the very steep stairs for me. cable worked. room was a quad and was very roomy. seemed clean. - Although the room was clean, it was very run down. lamp missing shade. full kitchenette was nice- too bad there were no dishes or table to eat at. kids and i ate on the beds. shower quite backed up; since the shower was right next to the toilet and sink (naturally) but was not in a shower stall (open shower like a ship) anyone going to the bathroom had to remove shoes/socks or wait an hour for water to trickle down drain. i mentioned this to staff and he kindly said, "i'll make a note of that." gee, thanks. price was good for location and size. i got the impression that the actual hotel rooms were a lot nicer than our quad, which was actually in a separate apartment building (and was, indeed, an apartment.) some apartment dwellers came in very late (3:30, and were drunkenly loud) and others were romantically audible, also in the middle of the night. walls very thin...

+ The hotel is very clean and good location. the staff are very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

+ Hotel was very good, had our own building, perfect location with all the bars and clubs, aswell as coffee shops directly behind the hotel

+ Staff were very helpfull. room was kept nice and clean. location excellent. we were very satisfied.

+ The location is good, nice views of the canal. also the hotel room was comfy and clean and the staff were very helpfull and told us the best places to visit. - If you want a good view, ask before hand as we didnt get the view we wanted.

+ Fantastic location for a weekend break, and right next to a fine irish pub from which to stagger home at night. - The quality of the facilities in the room was pretty poor, the shower didn't really work and despite having a huge screen window, our view was of a back alley used as a storage/garbage disposal spot for the restaurant on rembrandtplien.

+ Very friendly and helpful staff. beautiful view from room 11. good location.

+ Size of room excellent, washing facilities great, location is perfect, stairs are entertaining when trying to climb a little worse for wear!!! had a great sty would stay again. wallpaper is interesting if you make a "trip" to a smart shop!!! - Check out conversation rate for euro ended up paying more than when we originally booked it!!

+ The staff were very friendly and helpful. the hotel was very clean and its location was ideal. not having breakfast at the hotel is a great idea as you are under no pressure to get there on time and you have a huge choice when you do decide to have it. - The room we had did not have much of a view. but friends of ours had one with a great view so its pot luck i guess.

+ We stayed in a canal view apartment which was basic but clean and considering the view and location fantastic value for money. on arrival we were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful staff who gave us a map and highlighted all the various areas which was excellent.

Out of around 12 hotel stays in Europe this was the only one that disappointed us comparing to what we thought we were getting. Admittedly it was very inexpensive but it was still not good enough for what we were led to believe. Very disappointing. We mov

The hotel was generally good. We reserved a quadruple room. It was spacious and very clean. And with a little kitchen. The only problem is that it was outside the hotel, and we were a little afraid at first. But, we have not any problem, really. The stree

A really warm welcome, very helpfull with luggage, maps, places to see. Room cleaned daily with tea/coffee topped up readily and extra provided on request. Nice area, quiet view over river and boats. Three Sisters pub round corner on Rembrandt square exce

We had a girls weekend to Amsterdam to do some shopping.The hotel was in perfect walking distance from everything, shopping, Red Light District, Central station.... The room was big and clean. Ther were some noise from the back yard, but my guess is that

good-enough location, size and cleanliness of rooms was great! about a twenty minute walk from the train station...

This review deals with the Hotel Amstelzicht. I stayed there for 3 nights last August (2005), and left because of a number of problems, including an amazing incident of barefaced rudeness. Unfortunately, I had signed the American Express receipt at the beginning of the stay, and because of this technicality the hotel was able to keep my entire payment, almost two thousand dollars. Here are my notes, exactly as I jotted them down on the day I left the Amstelzicht. "Hallways worn, tired, almost dirty, carpets getting threadbare (a hall window is cracked on the second floor landing); the room was not entirely clean (dark bedspread couldn't disguise hairs of earlier guests); I had to ask for a new roll of toilet paper on the first day, since the last one was at its end; noisy courtyard overflowing with garbage; every night, muffled bass dance beats from the Hoff van Holland, backing the other side of the courtyard (entrance on the Rembrandtplein) starting at about one or two and ending at 4:30 AM); curtains and drapes ineffective at screening light from sky rise apartments at side of courtyard; staff discourteous, almost contemptuous, co-owner laughed at my complaint of rudeness by another co-owner, refused to apologize, corrected me though he was not present for the incident and implied I was lying -- then said he intended to charge entire two weeks on my American Express card though I was turning in my key and leaving after three nights; after which he was reluctant to give me a receipt. He refused to discuss the matter further, and when I said I would take the matter up with customer service at American Express, he laughed and said, "Yes, do that." Other quotes: "The room is fine. The noise does not come from the hotel so the hotel is not responsible." Also, "Maybe you would prefer a big hotel with a hospitality director." Beware: this is not so much a hotel as a warehouse where you are stored in a featureless box with a kitschy painting and a worn down carpet above a noisy and dirty courtyard. There is little warmth or comfort or character -- even the entrance hall is cold and institutional (entering the Hotel Amstelzicht is like walking into a public high school or a prison)." I am absolutely sickened by my experience and cannot recommend the hotel.
