Very steep stairs without an elevator, but this we expected after read comments from others. The breakfast was continental but we were positivly suprised that it also included dark bread. We would recomend the hotel.

We booked 2 nights through this site but sent an email to the property asking if they could advise if the Friday night became free. We were delighted when they said yes. Unfortunately, when we got there the extra night had not been put in the computer. They could not have been nicer about it. They gave us a room for free in the staff quarters that night (they offered another hotel as well) and were very apologetic and embarrassed. As we really just wanted a base from which to explore, we weren't bothered at all. The proper stay was great for the price (Amsterdam is expensive!). The location is brilliant, just a block from Dam Square and not far from the shopping areas or the red light district. They offer drinks and snacks for sale and have a lovely balcony off the breakfast room where you can watch the world go by with a cold drink in hand. I would happily stay again if we go back.

Great location. Very handy to everything. Price was quite good in comparison. Our shower backed up which was a bit annoying but other than that a reasonably comfortable reasonably priced place to stay. Good for sleeping and showering but spending the day out!

Location great, room met my expectations in accordance with price. Would only recommend hotel to those who are in good enough shape to carry luggage up a steep hil - the staircase from entry at street level to the registration desk is quite a cahllenge and there is no lift.

Well-situated hotel, but that is all : - small room with used carpet and furnitures - luminuous tube as a light - the room was quite dirty - very noisy because of the traffic in the street - scaffolding in front of the window (no view) - too small breafast room - you have to give a deposit of EUR 20 cash (even if you booked with a credit card) - most of the staff is friendly except one french receptionist, who is pretty agressive - really overpriced

I LOVE KIKO the cat! We had a great stay--we're a young couple and went during the craziest time of year (new years). I read some really negative reviews on this hotel, but did not have a negative experience what-so-ever! All of the rumors about the stairs ARE true--they're crazy steep, BUT we were ready for them and took a lot of picture of them! Very cozy room, exactly as discribed/pictured--and yes FANTASTIC location!!

As the place was cheapish, I didn't expect too much from our quadruple room. But I wasn't prepared for the icy wind which blew through the poorly fitted windows. It made the two beds by the windows unusable, and we all squeezed into the other two, as we couldn't drag the beds away far enough from the windows. Worse though was breakfast. I wasn't expecting much, but it was rubbish. 2 types of children's cereal, a rubbish toaster to make toast, hard boiled eggs, and nescafe. All the guests were laughing/muttering. Staff were aloof and rude from the outset. If you can find another place, take it.

My friends stayed at the hotel nadia down the street and had a positive experience. I will definitely try there next time. + sweet cat excellent location - * awful breakfast (hb eggs, toast, sweaty hard cheese, even the woman working the breakfast area noted the cereal pitcher smelled awful) * awful staff (unhelpful, complacent, seemed irritated to have to deal with anyone - esp. the night person. the cleaning staff were the most friendly of the bunch. one day there was a very nice woman at the front desk.) * room stunk of marijuana and perfume (presumably one to cover up the other - not their fault, but maybe not allowing people to smoke in the hotel would be nice? - i can understand the desire to want to smoke, but my room did also have a balcony on which someone could have stood and smoked instead). * flights of stairs may impede you * tiny (i mean TINY) rooms * no ventilation * on a noisy street (the tram is going by regularly) * the wireless internet doesn't really work if you're in a room far from the lobby or the 4th floor

You just get what you pay for. Everything is basic, the room is tiny and a bit noisy because it is close to the tram track. On the hand, it is clean (especially the bathroom) and the area is safe. The staircases would be a bit difficult for big luggage though. The location is excellent, it is close to the DAM and central station.

The stairs leading up to the hotel were very steep and high making it difficult to get up with a suitcase (there is no lift). Breakfast is very basic but adequate. The room we stayed in was very small, but had everything we needed. Pleasant staff.

Breakfast was very poor. Only cheese, marmelades and margarine. Some corn flakes and boiled eggs. Every day the same. What about some sausages, bacon or ham? Orange juice undrinkable. Impossible staircase! In fact, as many other buildings in the area. Dirty, heavy windows hard to open and small double room direct to a busy street. Curious ventilation system: a broken coat-hanger holding the heavy window. Luckily we had a shower in the room! We knew many hotels haven't! We stayed 4 days in Amsterdam. We had meals in Jordaan and in the Herengracht area. Pizzeria Pepe in Jordaan was good. The best restaurant was "Admiraal" in Herengracht 319.

Well, all the other comments about stairs were right. There were certainly stairs. But our older travel companion handled them well. Also, a single room is really a single room with a twin bed, but it had a great balcony. We liked the location. It was easy to find. They had good service during the day, but the night staff seemed new and couldn't answer as many questions. The official hotel cat was quite friendly and was a cheery greeter in the AM and PM.

The hotel has a fantanstic location. We had a view to the middle of the town (near dam). Quite Close you can find restaurant, bike rentals, shopping street.... The rooms are not so big but the spaciousness is OK. It could be a little bit better cleaned and the windows would like to get a new paintwork. Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen. Das Zentrum (Dam) ist sehr nah und auch Shopping und Unterhaltúng ist nicht weit entfernt. Wer die Stadt ein wenig auf eigene Faust erkunden will sollte sich ein Fahrrad mieten (8,5 Euro am Tag). Das Zimmer im Hotel ist OK - nicht riesig aber für die Übernachtung ausreichend. Wobei dieses etwas besser gereinigt sein könnte und die Fenster mal einen neuen Anstrich gebrauchen könnten - wobei der Ausblick für das Zimmer entschädigt. Das Frühstück könnte in der Auswahl etwas üppigersein, ist aber dennoch OK.

This hotel is good for young people who do not mind sleeping in a very little room and do not care much about it's condition (kind of poor but clean). I would not say it was adequate to the price that we paid, because for only 6.00 euros more a night we stayed at a top quality hotel in Luxembourg.

Will not go back. Was there as a party of three. The room we stayed in was the triple one on the picture of the website but was definitely smaller than expected. Toilet was tiny, no proper shower, just a 'shower section that left the floor wet and shower curtain was moldy. Also, it was a room that smelled horribly bad from cigarrette smoke, we had to keep the windows open constantly despite the cold. When there was a change of plan and one of the three of us had to leave earlier than expected, we asked to use a double room instead of a triple. This was more than 24hrs in advance, but despite having availability we were told it was not possible due to venere's rule. It seemed more like they wanted to make more money on us! When we tried to discuss further the matter the 'all male staff' representative present was very agressive to us. So, although the location is great, the rest does not compensate for a bitter departure!

Definitely the worst place we stayed on our European vacation (our trip was over a month long). After lugging your bags up stairs that resemble a rock climbing wall, you are greeted by unfriendly and complacent staff. The "non-smoking" room was smelly, cramped and noisy. We still have nightmares about the bathroom. Probably the worst part of the stay was that the staff led us to believe that their internet access was free, but we were made to pay 4 Euro for 10 minutes (CASH ONLY). We're glad we only had to stay 2 nights....

What everyone says about the stairs is correct! you need climbing gear to get up them, pretty difficult when you have suitcases too! we were on the top floor! so 4 flights of stairs to get up them all! When we checked in we were given the right room but wrong bed layout but after talking to reception this was fixed within 10-15 mins! so excellent service there. Breakfast was disapointing, there were 3 slices of cheese, a toaster that only toasts 1 side and half a loaf of bread, no hot food or much choice, alltho the breakfast room did have a nice balcony. Internet points were located in the breakfast room but good and fast, but hotel didn't have wireless access (alltho you could pickup the wireless network from the Apple Mac shop from over the road!) Dam Square was within 10 mins walk from hotel, the Main red light district was an additional 5-10 mins walk past the Dam square, allthough there was also a smaller one about 3 mins walk from the hotel in the other direction. Overall a good hotel! I would stay there again but ideall I'd like somewhere with lifts or less steep stairs!

Hotel di-ann what can you say apart from it is exactly what they say. Very clean but small room which can get a little noisy due to the traffic,but lets face it you only need a room for the basics if you use your stay for the enjoyment of the city and not so much the accommodation!The stairs of the hotel are quite steep near the top but this adds to the charm of the building.Its perfectly situated for the traveller,with evething on hand.Good buget accommodation I would use again for a short stay.

The location of the hotel is good but the room was so small (room enough for the bed only) we only use the room to sleep. The bathroom was small and not up to our standard, the shower does not have a shower pan. When my wife or I uses the shower, no one else could use the bathroom because the floor is wet. We move out of the hotel as soon as we found another hotel near by.

Hotel in ottima posizione, in bellissima zona e stupendo edificio, ma molto scomodo quanto ad accessibilità(non andate se avete bambini, anziani, valigie pesanti, l'accesso è una vera e propria scalata)e un po' deludente quanto a sistemazione delle camere, manutenzione carente. In rapporto ai prezzi degli alberghi ad Amsterdam, è una soluzione accettabile, ma non aspettatevi di avere una camera come quella mostrata.

We choose this hotel because it was cheap and recommended as clean. In these respects it did not disappoint. It was very central but our bedroom overlooked a busy main road. Our room measured 7 feet by 9 feet, and the bed was 3/4 sized. The shower room was cramped but clean. The stairs were dangerously steep and would not be allowed in a public building in the UK.

Hi Folks, I stayed in the Di-Ann recently with my wife. Great location, 2 mins from Dam Square so it's easy to find. My only real gripe would be that the rooms are pretty small but other than that, the hotel was very clean and the staff were excellent. We got a room at the front which had a balcony, first morning the noise of the trams sounded like we were beside an airport runway but by the second morning we just slept through it ! The reception area is on the first floor and as with a lot of places in Amsterdam the stairs are narrow and very, very steep. If you have mobility problems or kids and prams etc. I would strongly urge you to consider somewhere else but we thought it was quite quaint ! Anyway, to sum up, this hotel was very good value for money with friendly and helpful staff. Nice to look at from the outside with small and functional rooms (no four poster beds here).....Enjoy !

Scale ripidissime e impossibili ma basta chiedere e le persone dell'albergo le portano fino in stanza. Ottima posizione centrale(vicinissimo al museo di Anna Frank) comodissima a piedi e ai mezzi. Se si vogliono fare escursioni basta rivolgersi alla reception. Le stanze piccolissime con il tram che passa proprio sotto, colazione scarsa ma nel complesso un buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Room was on 4th. floor up very steep stairs. A fall would kill you. Room was cold as double doors were warped and would not shut under any amount of force. Cold air blew in all night. Walls are paper thin, so quests next door could be easily heard. TV barely worked. Room was clean. Trolley was outside on main thoroughfare. I should have known better; I've been to Amsterdam many times. I will look for better hotel next stay.

We are not so young, ( m 55, f 43 )but even with heavy bags, found the entrance stairs easy. The Staff were not 'in your face' and the room cleaning extremely good. As Cat lovers, we loved that lovely tourtishel Kiko, who would often be found waiting outside our room to welcome us. The eathouses nearby give great value, but try to turn left out of the hotel to find them. The staff were very helpful and very good at finding where we wanted to go. We walked a lot, prefering the pedalos to the trams when we were exhausted. We would certainly book to this hotel again when we return next year. This place is a real oasis in a desert of overpriced, unclean hotels. Full marks. well done.

Non fatevi spaventare dalla scalinata all'ingresso! L'albergo è in ottima posizione, le camere sono piccole ma molto pulite ed il personale estremamente gentile e competente. I bagni sono sprovvisti di asciugacapelli ma basta chiederlo alla reception e ne avrete a disposizione uno. la prima colazione è a buffet ed è compresa nel prezzo. Per un fine settimana ad Amsterdam questa è una buona (ed economica!) soluzione con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

This hotel is located within a good short walking distance to most of the downtown action. For what you receive in location, service and cleanliness, the price is very good. The only drawback although applicable in many hotels is that the reception desk is located up two flights of stairs (or one "BIG" flight of stairs) and the rooms are located even highter without an elevator. The breakfast selection is common but good and the common area for the breakfast is clean

A very confortable hotel, placed 2 minutes away from Dam square, in the heart of Amsterdam. The rooms are very small but clean and quiet. The service was excellent and the personnel very helpful. The major problem we encountered was the about the toilet room, who had no window and no fan either. Anyway, Di-Ann is a good choice if you want a hotel very close to all the city attractions. Maybe a bit expensive, but at least very clean.

Stayed three nights at this hotel in November 2004. The stairs up to the reception are steep and narrow! Don't bring heavy luaggage or go to this hotel if you are disabled! Staff was welcoming and professional. We had to pay the 2nd day of our stay. We had a twin room facing the street without balcony. It was small but had all necessary facilities, even a hairdryer. The noise from the trams outside can be a bit disturbing in the morning if you like to sleep in. What we didn't like was the breakfast arrangements. There was not enough food, even bread was missing, there were no cups or plates. It should not be necessary to bug the staff (who were petting the cat instead of looking after the guests' comfort)for cutlery to be able to eat! The breakfastroom was also too small and crowded. In general the price is steep, in Norway you can get a room in a 4-star hotel for the same price as here (100E a night). But I guess the price only reflects the general price level of hotels in Amsterdam. Location of the hotel was good, close to Dam square and Jordaan, making it a nice starting place for excursions throughout the city.

A very typical central Amsterdam Hotel offerring good, clean accommodation and a friendly helpful staff. Considering it is in the centrum, the price per room is very good.

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Di-Ann very much. It is extremely conveniently located, it is clean, the staff is helpful, and the room included a nice balcony, a small refrigerator, and the breakfast included eggs! The room was small but clean and quiet, and its price was very reasonable, which was important for me as I was traveling on business supported by a grant.

We stayed overnight in one of the rooms at the front with a balcony. We had read previous reviews, so knew what to expect regarding size of rooms and the steep staircase to reception! We had to leave early next day, so did not get to experience breakfast. Very good location to central attractions. Had a great stay at a reasonable price.

Comfortable, convenient hotel. Challenging staircase to reception. Self service breakfast rather crowded. 20 euros key deposit required for each room.

I LOVE AMSTERDAM AND I WOULD DEFINANTLY GO BACK REALLY SOON, NOW ABOUT OUR STAYAT THE HOTEL. MY COMPANION ANDI ENJOYED OUR STAY UP UNTIL THE DAY WE WERE TO LEAVE. THE MORNING THAT WE WERE TO LEAVEMY COMPANION'S MONEY($300)WAS STOLEN OUT OF OUR SAFE. WE WOULD LEAVE THE SAFE OPEN UNTIL WE HAD COME BACK FROM BREAKFAST. WE COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER. HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT OUR STORY WAS FALSE, AND THAT HE FOUND NO TRUTH IN IT. THEY HAD NO TYPE OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINT SHEET TO FILL OUT OR ANYTHING. SO WE WENT HOME MAD, REALLY MAD. BEFORE US DEPARTING I WAS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BILL. I PAID 320 ERU, AND 90ERU WAS TO COME FROM MY CREDIT CARD. MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED TWICE,INSTEAD OF ONCE. WHEN I CALLED DI-ANN HOTEL TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD TELL ME NOTHING. I WISH WE HAD NEVER STAYED THERE.

The staff at the hotel went out of their way to be helpful at all times. Breakfast was excellent too. They were perfectly happy to keep our luggage for several hours after we checked out. We would certainly use this hotel again.

Very good hotel and centrally located, only a couple of minutes from Dam Square. Rooms were very clean, small but cosy. However this wasn't an issue as the cleanliness and location made up for it! Buffet breakfast was simple...toast, jam, cheese, tea and coffee. It was worth it, as we could eat food before leaving the place and wandering around on empty stomachs! Only negative point is the steep flight of stairs to reception, quite daunting at first as you have to carry your luggage!! Our rooms were on the top level so it meant another 2 flights of stairs after reception! After a couple of days it wasn't an issue. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Very nice and friendly staff, nice and clean room, quiet yet conveniently at a central location. You need good legs to climb all the stairs as there are no lifts though that did not prove to be any problem for me. It is a nice place for people who are more into cultural visits and not for those who want to get drunk and noisey! I enjoyed my stay and it suited me just fine while not too expensive at all.

On arriving we knew the stairs were going to be steep but didn't expect to find nearly vertical stairs, infact we laughed every time we saw the stairs as we are a young couple and had to climb them like some fail old ladies. However, the reception did come down the stairs to carry our cases which was really appreciated. The rooms are a lot smaller than we thought with the look of a Hostel, but everything you needed was there, however, you have to ask for the extras like kettle, hairdryer. The main disappoint was that the single beds are not a single bed size but much smaller and very springy, needless to say we got little sleep as you dare not turn over in bed for fear of falling out. The reception team were very helpful and on checking in we were given a guide of Amsterdam and a street map which was most helpful. We were not expecting to have to give £20 or 20Euro deposit on check in for the TV remote and room key but we did get this back on check out. We checked out at 6am due to our flight time and the nightporter was not helpful at all, he wouldn't accept that we had paid on check in until i showed my receipt even then he wasn't very happy calling someone to check, he wouldn't even help us down the stairs with our cases we had to wait for the taxi driver. If you're after a 'basic feel' accommodation then this is the place for you as the rooms are clean and warm and the location was excellent (just 2 mins walk to Dam Square. If you want something more than 'hostel' feel accommodation and a room to be able to walk around in without banging into something and you are not fit to climb the stairs then i would not recommend here. On the whole the accommodation suited our needs but we were dissappionted with the size of the rooms and the beds as in the pictures they looked alot bigger.

I was pleased with the location and the standard of Di-ann hotel. Taking in to account the other reviews I have to say they were right and the room was clean and the price was not too expensive.

The plus side: hotel was immaculately clean, the staff was friendly and attentive, location is central and easy walking distance to just about everything. I had a small balcony with a view of the Westerkirke and a private bath in my inexpensive single room. The negative side: room was small, the mattress was a bit worn/soft. But I feel I got good value for my money. I would stay there again.

Nous avons apprecié de pouvoir faire cette réservation sur Internet, ce WE là beaucoup d'hotels étaient pleins et il était difficile de trouver des chambres disponibles. L'hôtel Di-Ann est très bien situé et très pratique pour une visite de la ville. Comme il l'est décrit sur le site, les chambres sont petites (donc on s'y attendait!). Contrairement à ce que nous avions lu sur le site, le petit déjeuner est copieux... Le personnel de l'hôtel remet à ses clients des plans de la ville, un petit journal des manifestations de la semaine, etc... c'est bien pratique !

We have just had an excellent short break in Amsterdam. The hotel was well-placed for seeing all major sites and there were plenty of eating places within easy walking distance. Rooms were very small but adequately equipped and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly at all times. For a longer, relaxing break we would probably want more comfort but would definitely stay here again for a long weekend.

This is a small clean Mom & Pop hotel in a 400 (ish) year old building. Expect steep stair cases and narrow halls. This is what they built in the 16 & 1700's. The hotel is quiet and in a PERFECT location for tourist who want to visit everything. The rooms are small compared to American standards, but I was not visiting America. Do not take your 90 year old conservative grandmother to Amsterdam. She will not appreciate the hotel stairs or the "colorful" culture.

We did'nt knox Amsterdam, but, now, we will prefer be farer from the Amsterdam's centrum, but get more spacious room and better breakfast for the same price (as venere.com made a proposal to us when our first choice revealed to be impossible). The room was very exiguous and the breakfast was very minimal. But all was very clean and people very nice.
