Aadam Hotel Wilhelmina

( 2 stars , Amsterdam , Netherlands )

+ Cleanliness, quietness, plenty of trams - Breakfast room small, cramped. initial booking says only 4 tram stops 20 mins from central station, in fact on arrival about 8 stops and 40 mins from station,(perhaps arrived wrong time of day).however during stay found trams plentiful and punctual.

+ The hotel service was excellent, the staff were polite. the room was very clean, small, but comfortable.

Just got back from Amsterdam which is an amazing city, but this hotel is far too way out, and this hotel does not show any sign of recently being refurbed has stated on their web site, it took us 45 mins walk in to town or we had to spend loads on trams. Breakfast was nothing more than cereals and a sandwich. Rooms were clean but very basic. However our bathroom which consisted of toilet,sink and shower were spotlessly clean. Very budget price hotel, ok for students, certainly not for families. Was very dissapointed in location, to way out for my liking. But next shall choose a different hotel like the Acro or Prinsen which are both good hotels.

What an absolute rip off. We could have stayed in a really good hotel for 135 euros a night. This hotel is so basic, that you can get better hostels for half the price. The room stank of smoke, even though we asked for a non smoking room. The bathroom was tiny, and the hairdryer did not work. The hotel is noisy at night and there are no staff on duty. There is no access to tea and coffee facilities, other than paying out another 15 euros per night to have a kettle put in your room. The staff were pleasant, but couldnt really be bothered to help or assist you in any way.

- The only negative thing was that the cleaning staff woke up us every morning at 9 : 30 to clean,not even well,tge bathroom

+ Tram stop was not far from the hotel, therefore easy to get to and from the centre. - There are 3 flights of very steep stairs in order to get to the rooms, made it difficult to carry up luggage-no lifts available, picture and description of hotel was very different to actual rooms. description of rooms also highlighted there was a safe in the room available to use-did not mention the deposit you must pay before you can use it. also stated internet available at hotel-again no mention of the charge you must pay before you can use it.

+ The evening reception clerk was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and amsterdam and helped me find parking for my car. - The shower is slow to drain and i almost flooded the room.

+ The only negative was that the bed was so soft and i got backache.

+ Helpful staff clean rooms - Decorating going on, havinf to beware of wet paint and walk over plastic sheets. the entrance to the room hidden behind a door that was half open to allow access to other areas. steep stairs.

+ Nice place, staff very friendly, also its very easy to tram or walk from the center, tram is recomended though its further than you think. - Gets a bit cold (in rooms)
