Hotel King - Amsterdam

Located just two blocks from Leidseplain square (losts of bars) may be a good choice if you're there to party. It's more like a youth hostel than a hotel. Very noisy at night, specially when people start coming back from the bars and are druk. One night someone tried to enter our room, probably someone that was lost and drunk, but it was not very nice. The room is small, with almost no space between the side of the bed and the wall. The bathroom was normal sized, but the soap dispenser in the shower was empty and one of the lights was not working.

In my opinion King hotel is located in the best area of Amsterdam: it's very near to the central area of the city, Dam Square,(you can arrive in the central area in 5 minutes with tram that you can catch every 10 minutes very near to the hotel)and it is located in a very nice area (with locals, coffee shops, restaurants,...). I am very pleased to have choosen this hotel for my stay in Amsterdam!

We stayed in a superior canalside room which meant we had a window with a view. Although the view isn't particularly stunning it's not bad and the window made the room seem reasonably cheerful. The room was a bit on the small side but clean and in a good state of repair. The room was quiet apart from a few of the other guests, but it was New Year's Eve in Amsterdam! There was a large wardrobe but no drawer space. The shower room was immaculate. I was a little put out to find we had to pay extra for the use of tea and coffee making facilities in our room - a fixed fee of 15 euros for the duration of our stay (3 nights). Breakfast was reasonable - not a vast amount of choice but adequate; cereals, orange juice, plain yoghurt, sliced bread, cheese, ham, salami and some crackerbreads plus tea/coffee and selection of jams. Location was excellent, easy to find, next to the main shopping street, not far from Dam Square, the museums and some of the prettiest canals. The stairs are very steep, but fortunately the lift was working. Definitely not for anyone with walking difficulties! Would I stay here again - yes probably - mainly because of the location - though I would definitely opt for the canal view again. I think it might seem a little cramped and depressing without that. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I was a bit anxious about booking this hotel having read some of the negative comments, but the hotel was fine. The rooms are small(ish) but clean, with shower room and flat-screen tv. Excellent location just around the corner from the Leidseplein which has plenty of bars & restaurant and easy access to the city centre/station via tram. Breakfast (included in the price) was basic but pleasant enough. Only one negative - due to the very steep stairs (there is a small lift)I would not recommend this hotel to senior citizens, families with small children, or persons suffering from vertigo.

Gute zentrale Lage. Kleine Zimmer, kleiner Frühstücksraum. Für eine Nacht ok. Ein längerer Aufenthalt ist dort nicht zu empfehlen.

Nous avions réservé 3 nuits dans une chambre standard de cet hôtel, nous avons passé la première dans une chambre minuscule qui sentait le vomi .. nous avons demandé à changé pour les nuits suivantes et il n'y a pas eu de problème, nous avons bénéficié sans surplus d'une chambre plus vaste sur le canal, mais les draps et les serviettes de toilette étaient déchirés !!!. les salles de bain sont minuscules et il y a des laves main à la place des lavabos pas très pratique pour se laver les dents ou se raser !!! petit déjeuner correct mais sans plus donc au final cher pour la prestation offerte. Ils demandent 20 € de caution pour les clés et 3 € si vous voulez laisser votre bagage le dernier jour.

Unable to use creditcard for payment. not necessarily the fault of the hotel however, may have been a security overide by the card company.

Perfect location, easy to get to with tram

The hotel is sub par to say the least, and for the price it is easily a rip off. The hotel staff is highly iritable and unhelpful. In sum, don't stay here.

Rooms, room service quite ok. Problem is with competence of emloyees - they do not want to give you any information, making problems with adminitration thinghs.

The hotel is not so bad, but if you are looking for something with a better relation between costs and benefits dont go there. I will never back to the King.

Location was easy to find and easy to get to, good central location. For the price, the price/quality was excellent ....I have paid more for much less at other locations near by... I would and will stay there again when I return the the Big "A" .....

HOTEL SITUATO AL CENTRO.LA SERA NEI DINTORNI SI POSSONO TROVARE UNA VASTO NUMERO DI RISTORANTI E LOCALI.FERMATA DEI TRAM VICINISSIMA. BUONA COLAZIONE. PERSONALE GENTILE.LE CARMERE UN Pò PICCOLE, MA IDELAE PER UN SOGGIORNO DI POCHI GIORNI.LO CONSIGLIO!

Location was fantastic, it was close to the shops in the leidseplein and farily near to the Museum disctrict. We stayed on room #15 which was near to a hallway door which was noisy and could be a problem if the floor was fully booked (fortunately that was not our case) I suggest the administration to remove it or modify it. Breakfast was good but it has room from improvements.

Extreame small single rooms, you will surprise.i don`t know ather room look , maybe double rooms has decent size...because at the breakfast area, i saw many people enjoying this hotel.my co-worker said, this hotel rate going to be all the way poor if they did not have breakfarst servis. breakfast was nice and sweet surprise.

Good position, blanquets with hairs all over, towels with brown spots detected, good breakfast and good-looking rooms. Advised for those who don't want to spend too much and get a medium-low quality service.

They do not accept the payment to the arrival but they expect advance payment. They add 6.5% of commisione with payment with credit card. The breakfast is poor. They expect the payment of 6,00 Euros to baggage for the warehouse in sun guard two hours, the day of the departure. They only lend an umbrella used and broken but with the bail of 3,5 euros. Optimal position, the smallest Room without closet, bathroom of 80 cm x 1,60 cm, new rooms sufficiently clean and. Recent restructure. Non accettano il pagamento all'arrivo ma pretendono pagamento anticipato. Aggiungono 6,5% di commisione con pagamento con carta di credito. La colazione è scadente. Pretendono il pagamento di 6,00 Euro a bagaglio per il deposito in custodia di sole due ore, il giorno della partenza. Prestano un ombrello usato e rotto ma solo con la cauzione di 3,5 euro. Posizione ottima, Stanza piccolissima senza armadio, bagno di 80 cm x 1,60 cm, stanze sufficentemente pulite e nuove. Recente ristrutturazione.

Clean well located hotel for a very good price. Close to town center bus/traim stop.

I stayed at the King on a 4-night business trip. The staff and location were excellent. I was shown two rooms; a larger first-floor unit with exterior window, and a smaller third-floor unit with a window that opened onto a very small central courtyard. This was due to nearby construction, which was rather loud during daytime hours as the first-floor rooms' window opened onto the construction site. I selected the third-floor room, which was quite possibly the smallest room I've ever occupied outside of Asia (and was roughly comparable to the smallest room in Asia, though with a better bath. The room was however fairly comfy, and adequate for my needs. The bathroom was very pleasant, clean and with an adequate shower. The bed was very small; one arm hung off each side, and I had to sleep on my side in order to stay supported. It was also equipped with a wintertime duvet despite temperatures in the 30s (celsius), so every night was a sweat bath and I woke up soggy. Breakfast was adequate but unremarkable. Other than the construction, the location was very quiet, and comfortably close to tram stations and night life. The stairs were narrow and very steep, and the lift small and slow but serviceable and very quiet, Really quite perfect location. better bedding and air conditioning and the place would be perfect.

We stayed in Amsterdam to spend a long week-end during mid august. Hotel is very well positioned (very close to museums and close to city center) and it has a lift (so good with those steppy stairs!). We book a room with Canal View and that´s what we got. So far so good. What I didn´t like was the following: bad smell at common areas (hotel claims it´s because of building works behind the hotel but they were not doing anything about it), within the room there´s just a very simple cupboard with no shelves (no space to leave things tidy), windows could not be opened so during the afternoon/evening the room was very hot (no Air Cond.), and last but not least on our last day when we checked out we had to pay 3 euros for each piece of luggage we wanted to leave (our flight was late in the evening). As a wrap-up I wouldn´t recommend this hotel (unless for it´s strategic positioning).

Hay diferentes tipos de habitaciones. Vale la pena pagar un poco mas y tener vistas al canal y la habitacion un poco mas grande. Las habitaciones interiores son claustrofobicas. Bien situado

The rooms are TOO small, the windows do not open normally, the room lacked fresh air. There were construction works behind our window and we could not even open the window to let the air get in because of terrible noise.

Breakfast should be improved immediately. Check-in time must be available at all time.

Excellente petite (11 m2) chambre, propre et bien décorée, dans un hôtel très bien placé. Légère odeur vraisemblablement due à la proximité des canaux dans les parties communes (d'où un 4/10) mais rien dans la chambre. Attention, comme mentionné, surcharge de 6% si paiement par carte.
