Freeland

( 2 stars , Amsterdam , Netherlands )

I only stayed one night, but the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was fine and the welcome was cheerful and enthusiastic. The room size was fine (and larger than many I have stayed in whilst in Europe), but it should be noted (for large size people) that the shared washroom (for rooms 1 and 2) is _very_ small. The stairs to the breakfast room in the basement are also very steep - almost ladderlike. Neither of these are complaints, just notes for anyone with reduced mobility... All that being said, I had a good stay, and would gladly return.

+ Lovely staff, good breakfasts, good location, - Shared bathroom very small!

small hotel very well situated and friendly personnel

+ Friendly staff - We advised early that we were celebrating our anniversary yet we were put in a room on the top floor overlooking a wall. thought they may have taken this into consideration! we also required a non smoking room yet the room smelled of stale smoke.

ive been before in july i prefered the room before ,because the was a bath in in this room there wasnt one and the bathroom was so small you could sit on the toilet while showering but besides that everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay

We loved this place. It was easily accessible by tram and was close to all the activities to do in Amsterdam. The rooms were nice and the owners only enhanced our stay. They were kind and helpful, giving advice on where to eat and what to see. Would definately recommend!

+ Very friendly owners - Steep stairways

- Information of which trams you could catch would have been far easier than having to trek aroun for an hour when we could have been there in 10mins and now wasted half of our day.

The Owners just got the property few months ago, so now they are doing some renovations, the location is excelent and the owners are very nice and very friendly people. In general good, in few months will be better, the rooms very clean, and that is very important.

The Hotel Freeland has an excellent location in the heart of the Leidseplein district right behind of the many, beautiful canals of Amsterdam. The hotel staff spoke fluent English and were incredibly helpful and considerate to me. My luggage was lost for three days in London, and when it finally arrived the desk clerk carried my 50lb. suitcase all by himself up three flights of very narrow stairs!! It is a very charming, but small property and they do not have a lift, and the staircases are very narrow and treacherous. They have free computer access and a Coke machine in the entry hall. I arrived on New Year's Eve from NYC, and were greeted very warmly by the same man that carried my luggage up all those stairs. My room was tiny, but always kept clean. This is a no-frills hotel that is VERY affordable by European standards and if you want a fantastic location at a cheap price with kind and friendly hotel staff, and you don't mind the steep stairs, I would most defintely recommend the Hotel Freeland in Amsterdam.
