Hotel Nes

( 1 star , Amsterdam , Netherlands )

- No secure lock up for suitcases on last day.

+ The location is excellent, within few mins from all the main attractions. the staff were excellent with me. there is a supermarket within 10 mins walk from the hotel, near waterlooplein station, and trams 4 and 24 stop at muntplein which is a 5 min walk from the hotel. breakfast is basic and the service is excellent. - The walls are very very very thin so it does matter who you stay next to! if you are after a room with a view - forget this hotel! although it is a 3-star hotel, i would say that i paid almost 200 pounds for a room the size of my bathroom at home, with no catering available at all (tea/coffee facilities in the room). also, only a few dutch tv channels are available free of charge, for all other channels about 10 euros are being charged, which confused some people at the reception. in england this hotel would be no more than a 2-star at best.

+ Everything was fine most relaxing

+ Good location, decent staff - Fan in the room didn't work - limited free tv channels

+ Location is perfect, the rooms are small but clean and plenty of choice of food at breakfast. the hotel staff are friendly and speak very good english. - We were on one of the top floors and the bathroom ceiling slopes so the shower only comes to your shoulders and it's very difficult to wash your hair. our stay was over the queens day period and the noise from outside is very loud. the music stopped about 3am but the car horns went on until about 5am in the morning so didn't get much sleep.

+ The central location was the only positive thing about the hotel. - The receptionist was really rude and unfriendly. first, he checked me into a small single room then when i told him that it was too small for me he checked me into a double room. i was jet-lagged so i took it. 2 days later my friend checked in and he was given a larger room with a view which was a lot better than mine which was a box with no air. i was having breathing problems in there. then when i asked him why he had done so as there were hardly any guests in the hotel, he told me that i had "an attitude problem" and that "i should take my things and leave." this really infuriated me and i checked out that same time. the stay was upsetting. i will never stay in this hotel, and i will never recommend this to a friend or relative. i don't want them to get insulted by lowly staff in the hotel. horrible place!

Best location for value, with a beautiful view over canal and other top rated Hotels; clean, friendly, tasty breakfast provided.

+ The staff were friendly - I didn't think it was good value for money, location was a little further than i was led to believe.

+ Location is perfect base to enjoy amsterdam from - desk staff were great - Broken shower head & variable hot water supply

+ Good location....friendly staff.....rooms a little small.... - No
