Hotel Nicolaas Witsen - Amsterdam

The hotel is great and have a great location. If you don't choose the right room, it could be a little noisy. But overall...the hotel is great!

We stayed 4 days, the appearance of the hotel was not a 3 stars but neiborough was quiet, the room was small but bed was confortable. Breakfast was ok. I found usefull to have free internet in the room.

OK for a night stay, more than that too small. Location OK.

I would readily stay at this hotel again! I had no problems there, except that some other residents did not comply with the no-smoking policy and there was smoking in the hallway outside our room one night which resulted in smoke seeping into our room under the door. That should be watched more closely. Other than that, the stay was wonderful, the staff more than helpful, it was clean, comfortable, and quiet. I very much appreciated the staff making calls on our behalf to arrange transportation, tours, and providing us coffee at any time. The breakfast was very good! An excellent facility!

The room was nice and very clean, however it was quite small. Buffet breakfast was very good. The hotel is far from the main attractions of the city. There is a very close tram line. The hotel was a bit expensive.

In amsterdam for 3 days. Good location, walking 20 mins of the cnetre and 10 from museums area, 3 heineken museum,.. Tram Stop in 1 minute walking, quiet area, bathroom and room clean. Good recomendation.

Pros : Clean and quiet hotel. Within 20-25 minutes walk to Dam Square, 15 minutes to Rembrandt Square. Friendly and helpful staff at reception desk (we came later in the afternoon). Cons: Same breakfast menu during the stay. Although we are passing an economic crisis, the hotels prices throughout Europe (this hotel too) are still high ...

A hotel that I recommend especially for families. Excellent cleanliness, friendly staff, convenient to the tram stop and near the Van Gogh Museum (10 minutes walk). I'll come back 'certainly

It was our 8th stay in a row in this hotel. Don(t you thiink it's the best reason for our choice ?

The hotel is globally nice. This is a medium aged hotel and located in a mostly quiet area at 10mn bycicle ride from the very center and 2mn from a tram station which goes directly in the center. The breakfast is not a buffet but good enough. Here are the less good points: we had two rooms (31 and 33). In the street side room we could hear (not too loud but in spite of the double ganzing) the tram and the cars passing near of the hotel, fortunatly the traffic is light. The garden side room was quiet. One of the bathroom was very tiny but both were very clean. We were there in february 09 and the heating was almost not enough at the time to go sleeping. The overall impression was good and we would return there.

We booked for 3 nights but decided to leave after 1 night. No heating, dirty, ugly. Don't go!

Location very quiet. On the periphery of the core of Amsterdam but easy transportation (or walking) with an "I AM Amsterdam" card and their great public transit. We visited in late September/October and found the room a bit cold and damp.

Small and nice hotel located in south west canals area very close to museums. Easily connected by tram to central station and down town (dam square ). In half an hour walk you can reach almost all the places of touristic interest. Close to nice places to have meals or just a coffe sitting by the canals. P.s. We were really lucky since we had four days of full sun.

The family next room started to fight each other around 1:00 a.m. for about an hour. Room was very clean, but the price was very high compared to other major cities good hotels, taking account of the size of the room.

Breakfast was a bit poor, but all in all okay.

Excellent value - bathroom smaller, less clean than ideal but still acceptable

Good location. 8 mins from nearest tram line. 10mins from daily market and nearby shops and restaurants. A bit of noise from traffic and tram but pretty quiet at night. Staff are friendly and competent. Made an extra effort to make sure our taxi was on time for an early flight out of Amsterdam. Also made breakfast earlier (7.00am) for the 4 of us when breakfast actually starts at 7.30am. Rooms are small but clean and the elevator was handy with heavy luggage. If you are a light sleeper, get the top floor as the floor are all wooden floor boards.

It was very conveniently located, the staff very nice and the price very reasonable. Our only comment would be that the shuttle service to and from the airport, which is provided, is not free. The listing seemed to indicate that to us; it would be helpful to note that there is a fee.

Très bon accueil, le quartier est calme et sympathique, pas loin du centre, très bon petit-déjeuner. Nous avions une chambre lumineuse au 3ème étage, côté rue mais pas spécialement bruyante. J'y retournerai sans hésiter.

Easy access by tram to the hotel. Located in a quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum. It was walking distance to the flower market,too. The non-smoking room was truely smokefree. Our room had twin beds positioned together and another closet bed that our adult daughter used when she joined us. The beds were comfortable. Plumbing all worked. And they provided washcloths which is unusual in Europe. Good breakfast. I had gingerbread every day. Choice of elevator or stairs. A good value for the money. We recommend this hotel.

Hotels in Amsterdam are expensive (in comparison with Prague or Munich where I stayed before Amsterdam). This hotel is not exception. The breakfast was poor: soft-boiled egg, 2 slices of meat, 1 slice of cheese, butter, jam, cream, 6 slices of different sorts of bread :), a teapot on ~3 cups of coffee or tea with milk. The safe costs additional 5 euros (plus 25 euros for the deposit). Moreover, the safe is very small, you can put in it passports, money or tickets only. The personnel is friendly. The receptionist carefully searched in Internet from which station my train should depart (Zuid or Centraal). I answered 'Yes' a question 'Would you return to this property?', but my answer is rather 'I don't know'.

We had a lovely time at the hotel and especially appreciated its location. The staff was immensely pleasant and helpful. I would certainly recommend it.

The hotel is very close to city centrum (connection by tram with Rembrandtplein);it's clean, the room was not very large and the price was quite good. The price wuold be very good if breakfast was richer (there were not fruits, vegetables, yogurt, cereals). Anyway this hotel is recommended to everybody.

There are different kind of rooms. We were four, we payed the same price, but two of us have had a worse room than the others. Breakfast was poor(no yogurt, no cakes), it's impossible to have anymore of something and they don't know what is milk and coffee: They usually give to you some cold milk for the coffee or tea. Nevertheless the staff is competent enough and very kind and the location is pretty good.

Very well placed for trams, museums, canal trips etc. Would book again.

Everyone was helpful at the hotel in regards of tourist stuff to do and directions but the guy at the desk at night - Ali - he is not nice at all - everyone had a complaint about him!!!! Just email the hotel direct after your stay and let them know about him. Everything else was superb!!!! Typical smaller room - I was a single and it was very European but bathroom water pressure was great!!!!! Would stay there again!

It was my first time to stay in this hotel and I have to say its one of the best 3 star hotels, where I have stayed since so far in Amsterdam.Because of my work, I travel to Amsterdam a lot and I think next time I will stay in same hotel, because its very close to city centrum, its very clean hotel,the room was quit big and the price for that was also good.I would defenetly recommend this hotel to everybody.P.S.In reception was working very nice, handsome and helpful boy.

Pleasant and friendly staff. The hotel was clean and proper and calm surrounding. Not so many restaurants in the area but it is easy to reach the city center by street tram. Small room but OK. The breakfast could have included yoghurt and cereal and perhaps some vegetables and fruit.

We had a good stay, the hotel is just close the museum zone and central zone. I can recommend this hotel.

Been twice now. Clean, quite hotel well worth the cost. Breakfast a bit basic but it's OK. Will certainly stay again

We stay there for the sixth time and appreciate this hotel as usual.

Would stay here again

We were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We had stayed at alot of 3 star hotels in Europe so our expectations were fairly low. This hotel exceeded all expectations! Whilst the family/quad room was a bit of a squeeze, the room was clean & the beds were comfortable. Our daughter was sick while we were there & the staff were fantastic in assisting us. The staff were also very helpful with advice on where to go in Amsterdam.

Complessivamente la sistemazione è di qualità elevata rispetto al prezzo e soprattutto rispetto alla media delle strutture ad Amsterdam. Di buon livello la colazione, la disponibilità del personale la pulizia delle camere. Siamo rimasti molto perplessi però rispetto alla richiesta di prenotazione, che richiedeva due camere doppie (non eravamo coppie)e che è stata effettuata con due mesi di anticipo. Abbiamo avuto due camere con un unico letto e per di più ad una piazza e mezza. Le nostre camere erano piccolissime, ne abbiamo viste altre più grandi e con due letti singoli. Nonstante la richiesta di cambiare camera non abbiamo avuto riscontro.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Reasonable priced hotel for it's location. Very close to public transport (trams, 1-2 min walking distance). Max 15 min walk to the Dam square. Quiet neighbourhood. Would recommend for groups or young couples.

Las habitaciones extremadamete pequeñas y muy poco confortables y acogedoras. El Hotel es pequeño. Las instalaciones comunes son solo un pequeño salon para desayunar. Ello hace que solo sirva para dormir. La situación no es mala. En España este hotel no sería más de un 2*.

Very friendly staff--nice breakfast included. Rooms are small,but this is Amsterdam, so deal with it.

Hotel muy recomendable, tanto por la situación como por la amabilidad y el estado de las habitaciones.

Hotel situato in zona tranquilla e comodo ai mezzi pubblici. Personale cordiale, stanze piccoline, pulite e confortevoli. Rapporto qualità prezzo buono.

Nice hotel, in a quite area, the was clean and quite, the staff good. The bad was too small for an aduld and not really comfortable. The rate is ok for the quality.

No surprises.....excellent adress

The hotel is perfectly situated between the center of the city and the museum area/Vondelpark. The staff is friendly and very helpful, the rooms are clean, the breakfast is great. I definately recommend it - it's good quality for the money!

The hotel is located in close proximity to the center of the city so it is very easy to get from it to everywhere. However the room was too small for four people. We were two adults and two children age 11 and 14. It was very crowded and very uncmfortable when we were all in the room at the same time. Breakfast was nice and reasonable. The price seem to be too high relative to the quality of the room.

Enjoyed my stay. Within walking distant of most attractions. Reception staff were very helpful in answering our questions. Glad there was a lift as the spiral staircase can be difficult to manage.

There are hotels closer to the train station, but this one is a nice walk or take tram #16. The staff is very friendly. The room was quite comfortable, and breakfast very nice. We would return.

Bel posto molto tranquillo e pulito. adatto per chi non vuole avere tanti problemi di confusione. Tutto sommato non troppo distante dalle principali attrazioni di amsterdam. Personale accogliente e colazione ricca...cosa si può volere di più??? l'unica pecca è l'impossibilità di poter fumare in camera...da buoni italiani abbiamo aperto la finestra e abbiamo fumato lo stesso con la testa fuori...

We were delighted with the hotel. It has an excellent location close to both the Rijksmuseum/Concertgebouw area and to the city center, but off of the main streets and on a quiet road. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was immaculately clean and our room was very comfortable as well as quiet. Breakfast was generous and of high quality. The staff went out of their way to be good to us (for example, we overslept on our first morning, and they cheerfully provided a full breakfast--huge basket of breads, meat and cheese, juice and coffee, etc.--even though we were rather late. The staff was also incredibly kind regarding providing directions to sites, arranging our return to the airport, and other services.) Relatives of ours were in Amsterdam at the same time, staying at a much pricier hotel and their room was less spacious, with NO breakfasts provided! The only (minor) criticism that we could make regarding the accommodations is that our bathroom was extremely small. It was functional rather than luxurious. However, we highly recommend the hotel, and will stay there again when we return to Amsterdam.

Basically the Hotel is advertised as a 3 star hotel and I would rate it as a 2 star hotel. The heating syastem was inadequate. The corridors were not clean and in need of refurbishment. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
