Hotel Piet Hein - Amsterdam

7.7

Good located 3-star hotel. This hotel is good for travellers and business visitors. Hotel Piet Hein is a good hotel overall. However here come a couple of weakness of it. First, I felt cold at night because of its window. Acturally, because of its window frames. The window can not stop any draught owing to its coarseness. And the room was not air-conditioned. You may have some problem if you stay here in mid-summer or winter. Nevertheless, the hotel staffs are very kind and speak English very well, and their service is very good.

8.3

Bom hotel. Limpo, novo (reformado recentemente) e bastante confortável. O vaso sanitário é um pouco alto. Bom atendimento. Internet gratuita no saguão. Excelente localização. Excelente vizinhança. Fácil acesso da Estação Central pelos tramways 2 e 5. Fiquei no último andar, não sei se nos demais o hotel é barulhento.

8.1

Piet Hein hotel is a nice, modern hotel in a quiet area across from Vondel park and close to the museums. The location is excellent, it didn't take very long to get there on the tram from Central station, and it wasn't far up to Liedesplein to all the restaurants etc. I booked a single room (to save costs) and it was small, but it was well laid out so it didn't feel too bad. My room overlooked the garden/courtyard at the back of the hotel. The furnishings & decor was clean / modern. Breakfast was good, if you can, wait for the croissants and rolls, fresh & warm from the oven. (Not too many open cafes nearby early in the morning, so you may as well eat in the hotel) There are a few internet PC's in the lobby, never a problem if you wanted to check your emails

6.9

Overall quality is quite good, although size of the room I stayed in was disappointing. In my previous visit, I was given a much bigger double room at the same rate with a bed that makes one feel like in heaven. This time even the bed was mediocre, no toiletries in the bathroom and no minibar in the room, which are definite minuses in my otherwise very positive opinion for Piet Hein.

8.6

Excellent choice for the price. Location is very good, close to the trams. 5 minute walk to Leidseplein. Clean, neat surroundings. Located in a fairly quiet area. Room was small, but that seems to be the norm in Europe. It was clean and comfortable. No issues at all. My room was on the 4th floor, so it was very quiet. Bathroom was clean. Given the price, the room met my expectations. Hotel amenities were excellent. No complaints. There are a couple of computers in the lobby with free and fast Internet access. Overall, I was very satisfied with the place and would definitely consider staying here again. It's a great value for money, and very comfortable.

9.1

People are very nice and friendly . Reception of the hotel and the pub very nice Localization very good. I would comeback.

9.7

Very nice staff, and contemporary layout. I was very pleased.

9.0

Quite good communication to the city centre (tram 1,2,5); extremely quiet surroundings, really near to the museum zone, and to vondelpark too. I would definitely recommend it, and go again.

7.7

Pas de chance des voisins tres bruyant mais l'hotel est tres bien

8.4

Buon albergo, molto vicino alla zona centrale con le principali cose da vedere. Buon rapporto prezzo/qualità

9.5

Very nice and cozy hotel located in quiet street along wondeful Vondelpark with short walking distance to everything (museums, canal boats/bus, shopping and restaurants/bars). Very chic & elegant interior with nice breakfast room and a wonderful quiet outside garden where one could enjoy breakfast. The breakfast buffet was nice and the coffee excellent! Internet access was nice in the lobby area next to a charming small bar with very good drinks....try the campari w/fresh orange juice! Helpfull and service minded staff, only minor complaint: had ordered wine/fruit basket in the room upon arrival (surprise for my housband) but no such basket when we arrived. We used Connexxion bus from airport to hotel entrance (13 Euro/person one way) and taxi from hotel to airport (37 Euro). Charming town and we'll definitely use this hotel again for our next Amsterdam trip!

6.1

The room was a bit outdated, bathroom was OK, bed was 20 years old. TV channels didn't work properly and Pay TV not at all.

8.9

Superb location by the Vondelpark

8.0

Very good hotel with excellent lounge bar and helpful staff. Internet free of charge. Comparatively quiet. Will surely recommend this place.

9.7

exceptionally well-located, intimate hotel with loads of great shopping, restaurants, museums and trams all within short walking distance. Very professional,friendly and helpful staff. The only issue that arose was that housekeeping had left our door open all day one day, though fortunately nothing was missing. We would definitely stay here again. We've also been consistently happy with Venere.com recommendations.

7.3

I stayed in a single room, that was the size of a cupboard. However, it was very recently renovated and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very modern and appliances brand new. Some rooms are in the basement and are not great - there's not much air circulation and smoke from the lounge filters in at night, which is a problem. It is impossible to leave the window open on the ground level for safety reasons. The upstairs rooms are wonderful with very high ceilings, fresh air, flat screen TVs and brand new bathrooms. There are a bunch of computers in the lounge with high speed internet that are for everyone to use. Hotel is on a very quiet side street next to a park, which I heard could be a safety concern, otherwise the location is excellent. It is within a 2 minute walk from the Van Gogh museum and Rijksmuseum. The nearest tram stop is a 2 minute walk away and it would take about 30 min to walk to the Centraal Station (10 minutes by tram).

6.6

good location, next to Vondel Park, close to Leidse Plein (5min) and Museums (10min to Van Gogh). Red light district about 30 minutes walk. As with most other hotels in the centre of Amsterdam, there is no parking which adds another 20-30 euro per day. nice lounge, straight forward staff, comfortable room like on the picture, not too large.

7.9

Great hotel, particularly for the price. Nice rooms, good location fairly close to Leidsplien. The only minor negative points we found were that the room was very cold when we had been gone for the whole day. When we questioned this we were told that the Heating "switches off automatically". Not really a great answer when its cold outside! The other point was that we got drinks from the bar and brought them to the room, but the empties were left in the room for a few days. HOWEVER - these were minor things and we found the hotel to be great overall, and would definitely return.

8.1

Very good cost performance, though the room (single business room) was quite compact - in that sense, quite nautical. The public spaces are quite stylish actually. Location is good, across from the park and one block from a very posh shopping area.

9.8

The Piet Hein was a wonderful place to stay. The breakfast was bountiful and the service at the small and cozy hotel bar was excellent. The rooms were small (by American standards) but more than adequate. The wireless internet to the rooms could be improved but there were ample stations for use otherwise. The location was right around the corner from the Van Gough Museum and just a few minutes ride from the central station. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

9.6

Excellent hotel! good pricing. The staff, the hotal, the location, the breakfast, everything is great. Next time i'll go to Amsterdam, i'll take this hotel

7.8

Everything was ok. The hotel is in a very nice area in front of a park, near all the museums (Rijksmuseum closed until 2009!). We found a little mouse in the room! But they gave us a new one at once. Free internet access in the reception. Breakfast not tested :-9

7.3

IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE ROOM WASN'T LIKE THE ROOM FROM THE PICTURE. IT WAS SMALL BUT VERY CLEAN. THE BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. MAYBE FOR THE SAME PRICE YOU CAN HAVE A BETTER ROOM. THE HALL WAS RENEWED AND IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. THE BREAKFAST WAS ABUNDANT AND LOTS OF DIFFERENTS THINGS TO CHOOSE

8.8

Very comfortable hotel, friendly and helpful service, nice bar. Good location close to the centre.

7.0

unfortunately extremely soft bed and almost constant noise from "air condition machine" from the backyard (only stopped between 2 and 5a.m.)Location ist excellent. I regret, that due to the bed I will not book again.

7.6

Hotel situato in una bellissima zona con musei e negozi di lusso. Ottimamente collegato grazie ai tram distanto 80/100 mt. Personale qualificato, stanza piccola ed essenziale, prezzo elevato, internet wifi gratis, ottimo servizio

9.7

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is convenient to the Concertgebouw and Van Gogh Museum. The neighborhood is quiet, but it is close to the center. There is a nice park, Vondel Park, just across the street.

8.9

Very nice hotel. I enjoyed the lobby with comfortable bar and areas for free internet access. Hotel location is good for both museums as well as walking to Liedesplein. Be warned, booking via Venere or other sites not the hotels own excludes you from breakfast. However, the hotel's site showed no availability but Venere did.

7.5

We enjoyed our stay, the property is beautiful, much more welcoming than a major chain hotel. The staff were friendly and they had a lovely bar/lounge area where you could access the internet which is very handy when you are traveling. It was a little noisy, and unfortunately there was a fire drill in the middle of the night that woke us up.....this was apparently due to one of the guests smoking in their room. Whilst I understand that there is not alot the hotel can do about it, I think it would be a good idea to offer your guests a complimentary drink or breakfast where a major disruption occurs (fire trucks turned up etc). Appart from that, the hotel is in a fantastic location, the staff are friendly, the ammenities good and I would stay there again.

8.5

Excellent location. We had a nice quiet room and front desk staff were very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

3.8

LA HABITACIÓN ESTABA BIEN AUNQUE ESTABAN DE OBRAS PERO ME PARECE PRECIO EXCESIVO PARA LA RELACIÓN CALIDAD-PRECIO PUES ESTÁ EN EL "BARRIO SALAMANCA" DE AMSTERDAM (DETRÁS ESTÁN TODAS LAS FIRMAS DE ROPA). LO PEOR EL RUIDO DE LAS DUCHAS Y CADENAS DE OTROS BAÑOS CONTIGUOS. SOLO POR ESO, NO SÉ SI REPETIRÍA. DE TODOS MODOS, SEGURAMENTE, NO HAY MUCHAS OFERTAS MEJORES NI MÁS CERCA NI CON MÁS CALIDAD, POR LO QUE HE VISTO ALLÍ.

8.9

The apt. was so clean you could eat off of the floor. There were only a few problems: the Apt. was 6 floors up without an elevator and we had 3 large suitcases to carry up and down. The table was too small for 4 people and the master bed matress was a little old and soft. Other then that the cooking facilities were great and we saved a lot of money making breakfast and dinner there. The U-bahn station was only a block away as was the grocery store. I would recommend this apt. to a couple or small family since there is only one small real bedroom and some mattresses for the livingroom floor. The decor was so modern and cute!

8.7

I'd certainly stay here again. Not being in the noisy centre was ideal.

6.2

the hotel is o.k., but my single room was very very very small.

8.8

Good, clean, modern hotel. Room provided everything you need - comfy bed and clean bathroom. Stayed 4 nights. Nice bar area although on one evening we thought service was a little slow. Reception staff welcoming and spoke good English. Location of hotel handy for museum quarter and tram links to other areas of city, including Centraal Station. A very enjoyable stay - thank you!

8.1

We arrived at Amsterdam 7am and the hotel was so kind to have offered an early check-in. So we can take a quick nap and shower before heading out (as the flight from HK to Ams was over 10 hours). The free Wi-Fi connection at the hotel lobby was excellent, really at no cost. If the access can also be made to the rooms, that would be fantastic. (cos we failed to do it in the room upstairs, guess the hotel blocked the access to rooms). The lift was small, but big enough to fit in two large suitcases and the two of us. We had the room with a little terrace, so that's cool! The receptionists are nice and speak good english and are helpful. The beer at the lobby lounge was cheap and fresh. Though the room was small, it was already better that what I thought. The neighborhood was great, right besides Vondel Park, quiet but clost to the high-fashion shopping street. The only improvement would be the light. The room was kind of dark even with all the lights on. The Bagel cafe, "Bagel & Beans", nearby was a GREAT place for fresh hot breakfast. And the over-100-year-old restaurant besides the opera house, "Keyners" (something like that,) serves proper and great dishes. It's also near the hotel. Also have a lunch at the "American Cafe". Take the "Connexxion" shuttle bus from the airport and it'll take you to the door of Piet Hein. I would definitely stay at Piet Hein for my next visit.

7.2

I stayed 3 days at Amsterdam, very nice hotel near of Vondel Park, very calm district. Good location to visit Amsterdam (15-20 min of Central Park). Quietness of rooms is not very good.

8.9

It would be very great to have some more infos how to reach the hotel, when arriving in Amsterdam by plane. So train and then bus station nearest to the hotel

9.4

We stayed in a double that was small but immaculate. The bathroom was very nice and new and everything functioned well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was an additional 10 Euros, but there was a nice selection and the dining room was lovely. There is a lovely garden area to sit in also. The location near the museums,the Vondelpark, transportation, and other areas was outstanding. I would stay here again.

9.5

We had a lovely stay and the hotel and staff were very welcoming and helpful in all aspects of our stay. The room was very clean. The only comment we had was that we arrived in Amsterdam during a heatwave (for real) and our room was one of the older ones and did not have air conditioning which would have helped. The location was also terrific, away from crazy city centre. We would definately stay there again and refer our friends. Wireless connectivity only available in the lobby and the newer rooms so make sure you ask for a wireless room if that is important to you.

9.8

Loved our saty at the Piet Hein. Would have liked more information about parking options available.

9.3

Location excellent. Walking distance to centre. Value for money. Took my advice from internet. Clean. Staff extremely helpful,welcoming and efficient. Would highly recommend. Cant wait to return for a longer stay. We had been travelling for 4 weeks when we arrived and had seen alot of places. This was one of the best.

8.2

Very pleasant hotel, quiet location, efficient staff. Altogether a pleasant one-night's stay. It is important to state clearly that breakfast is not included in the room price. (this goes for all hotels!)

8.9

I stayed in a very small room which was adequate for my stay. Other rooms are much bigger and cost only a little more so recommend requesting a full-size room. Location is excellent opposite a park and a ten minute walk to main restaurant area.

7.9

The hotel was excellent! The location was not initially easy to find when we got off the bus but afterwards it was obvious that the location was near the museums. I would suggest to give directions on the web site by saying tgo to the Rijks Museum. The hotel location was great- close to the Rijks and Van GOgh museums and near the main streets where trams were easy to access. The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would plan to stay there again. Amsterdam is a beautiful city with lovely people.

9.7

I loved this hotel, althoug you have to find out where it is first. But the surrounding envriornment is nice and quiet, and it is close the the main sightseeing point. The room are clean and there is a bar in the first floor, which is nice. I will book this hotel again if I visit Amsterdam again.

8.9

We did not know tourist taxes where not included and that was not clear.

9.9

An excellent hotel. Very new and lovely interior. Very welcoming. Great service. A little bit of a walk from the tram and a bit out of the city but otherwise excellent!

4.9

Rooms are clean with modern decoration but are very very small. Unfortunately we also had extremely noisy people next door. Hotel is well located but I believe there may be better value elsewhere.

8.9

This was our fourth visit to the hotel and we never have been disappointed. The location is superior.

9.9

Great place, very clean, staff was very helpful, helped us get reservations on the train by phone. Cute bartender serving drinks, he was really sweet, I think his name may have been John (?). Cute hotel, good price, right across from Vondel Park, everything was in walking distance. Would highly recommend it and stay there again!

9.9

Nous, ma fille et moi, avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel charmant que je recommande fort. Aussi bien pour sa décoration moderne et zen que pour le service offert par le personnel. Petit bar avec barman charmant. J'y reviendrai au futur. For a quiet stay, I recommend.

8.1

A very nice short stay - close to art museums, right next to Vondelpark and tram route to central city area. Breakfast nothing special but OK. Smoking in public areas unacceptable!

9.8

This hotel is located very close to Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and Het Concertgebouw. The room is very clean. If you are going to see the museums and concerts, this hotel would be a perfect place to stay.

8.5

Was exactly what we wanted, good location for the whole of Amsterdam whether walking or using trams. Really easy to find and get to from the airport. Would definately recommend.

10

EXCELLENT! Will definitely stay there again. It was our first time in Amsterdam, and this was an excellent choice. The hotel was very clean and the employees were all very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel was very quiet and clean also. It was more than expected.

9.8

I had a wonderful stay at the Piet Hein. I was pleasantly surprised with the facilities and the employee customer service. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Amsterdam. The location was quite convenient to the trams as well.

9.6

It is hard to find any fault with this hotel. The location is very good with excellent tram services at each end of Vossiestraat. Breakfast is good value @ 10 Euros & train fare from Schipol to Central Station is only about 7 Euros return. We took a taxi from Central Station to hotel for 15 Euros but you can get a tram. We would use this hotel again and Amsterdam is a lovely city.

9.6

Great Hotel, good location and friendly and helpful staff.

9.3

l'hotel bénéficie d'une très bonne situation dans la ville, au calme. Les chambres sont très propres. Le personnel est très accueillant. a recommander

9.9

The location is excellent with museums, shops, and the park immediately available. The bar was delightful and the staff as well. Our room, facing the courtyard, was quiet and well appointed and just large enough for the two of us.

8.2

Excellent location, very close to all the Museums and right beside Vondelpark. Rooms small but spotlessly clean, staff friendly & efficient. Very enjoyable stay.

10

We enjoyed three, peaceful nights in a room with large windows framing the tall trees of Vondelpark. Transportation is easy, and the hotel is located within walking distance of Leidseplein and the museum district. We highly recommend Hotel Piet Hein for its value, location, and comfort.

9.2

Loved the lOCATION-just in front of Voldenpark, close to the Museumplein and walking distance to Leidseplein (sp?)-. The DECORATION was exactly as pictured in the photos: really cool little lobby... EMPLOYEES were very professional, helping me to FedEx some presents and to find a decent hairdresser in the area; and the PRICE was excellent for this boutique hotel. Def. will be back!

6.5

Be prepared to pay extra for everything from breakfast to internet access (measured by the minute)

8.4

An excellent hotel in a good location(museum quarter). We were very pleasantly surprised by its newness, ambience and quality and the staff were very friendly. The garden floor room we had was only marred by the sound of footsteps on the staircase from about 6.30 onwards; it would not stop us returning. The non-tourist restaurant recommended was so good we ate there each night.

7.8

Nice stay, very comfy and peaceful. Staff helped us with everything; I love that spot, just behind Vodelpark and so close to Leidsplein. They also let us leave the luggage and use the rest room several hours after the check out. The internet in the hall is fast but not cheap at all though, just like the bar. I really recommend the hotel, but be aware that there's a 15% tourist tax to add to the overall price and the breakfast is not included.

9.2

Exelent small hotel, with a friendly and personal staff. Perfect location. Everthing is within walking distance, but if one get tired of walking, the tram is easily available. We chose the hotel based on exelent reviews and did not regret it. Perfect for me and my girlfriend.

8.3

Good location, next to everything. Nice staff.

9.6

Highly recommended! This hotel has been refurbished to a high standard with a lovely, modern, calm feel - the lounge/bar/foyer is particularly beautiful. The only thing I would suggest was poor is the breakfast, fine if it is included in your price but I would avoid paying the 10 euros for it separately - a very expensive bowl of cornflakes + toast! There is a huge choice of restaurants within a short walking distance and access to the canals just a few minutes away.

7.2

Hi, We actually enjoyed our stay at Piet Hein and would consider staying there again. However, we would have received a better deal if we had booked directly through the hotel's web site. Our room faced Vondel Park which was quite noisy, even late at night.

8.5

Overall, a great hotel. Nice location within 10 minute walk to Van Goh Museum, Riks Museum, main square where a lot of nightlife is. Or, just take the quick and convienient tram--just minutes to anywhere! Would stay there again.

9.1

Really nice little hotel. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend it to anyone going to Amsterdam

9.8

Great location

8.0

Obwohl ich eine Reservierungsbestätigung seitens venere zur Hand hatte, war leider im Hotel kein Zimmer reserviert. Außerdem war das Hotel ausgebucht. Durch einen glücklichen Zufall erhielten wir jedoch dann doch ein Zimmer, da eine Gruppe eines weniger benötigte.

7.5

Good location, lovely hotel, great value, but our visit was marred by a few problems: - tram running right outside our window was very loud--kept me awake - housekeeper walked into room while we were inside and violated our privacy. She knocked first, but didn't hear us yell that we were inside. - we asked for a wake-up call which never came. Room did not have alarm clock, so we woke up late and almost missed our train.

9.8

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Excellent boutique style hotel. Freindly and helpful staff and a great location in a quiet road but just 5 mins to the canal boats,museums,bars and shops. I would recommend this hotel highly. Only negative was the 2 loft rooms do not have wardrobes.(our freinds stayed in one of them)

9.9

Luckily, we got a great rate on the room. It is a very nice hotel and it is located blocks from the Heineken brewery and tram connections. The staff was very courteous and spoke very good English. Also, the included breakfast had great variety for a European breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel when visiting A-Dam - I'll definitely try to stay there again next time!

9.6

Room was very comfortable, staff helpful, price very reasonable and location excellent; Van Gogh Gallery a few minutes walk and several trams stopping nearby.

8.7

a real bargain in amsterdam. well located (a bit far from the street cars because it is in between two stops). staff very friendly, room was small but quiet and all in all, real value for a pleasant stay in amsterdam, oh, and it is perfect for the museums!

9.5

This hotel is well priced for Amsterdam, and in a good part of town. Rooms are not luxurious, but are tidy and clean. Is just a little outside the main centre, but only a 2 minute tram ride or a 15 minute walk. Plenty of choice of restaurants nearby as well.

8.1

Excellent location, clean and pretty rooms but a little bit small. If I will go to Amsterdam again, I will stay in Piet Hein.

9.8

Wonderful ambience. Very quiet rooms. Beautiful outdoor courtyard for relaxing. Internet service. Fun but quiet cocktail bar in lovely decorated lobby. Great breakfasts. Staff always amenable to our needs. Walking distance to everything. Best hotel we stayed at during our three weeks in Europe. I would recommend Piet Hein to anyone so stop your search and book now.

9.8

Nice room at front with 3 lr windows overlooking park.Included bkfst was excl with lots of choices. Good loc - walk 2 blks to Van Gough, 1 blk to #2/#5 tram stop to central city in 5/6 minutes, 1 blk to very good cafe/rest(the Small Talk)

8.7

Only good feelings about this hotel (Sorry, i can't write in english very well). Hotel Piet Hein is located in the Musea area. Walking, you are in Leidseplein in 5 minutes. There are tram stops close to the hotel. So, it is not located in the center, but very close to it. We moved by feet almost every day. The surroundings are very quiet. Our room was small, but clean and pretty. Just the views were not too good: a brick wall in front of our window. But that didn't bother us too much. The room was next to the reception desk, but there were no noises. We were there in february, for three nights, and the heating was 24 h on. The staff was very kind. The lamp on the ceiling went off one morning, and it was repaired that same day. Breakfast was included in the price. The breakfast room was really nice, and breakfast itself (self-service) was really good. Price was a little too expensive (85 EUR) but not for Amsterdam: hotel prices in Amsterdam are really in the top side.

8.1

It's a good place, but i prefer have a large bed like i asked twice. It's really close to the center and museums!

8.7

The hotel is ideal for both personal and business breaks. Obviously as such there is a mix of clientel attracted to the hotel. This seemed to keep the atmosphere and behavior of the staff relaxed and yet very professional. They did not force themselves upon you however were more than happy t help in any way they could. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern with good shower and bath. the location is on a quiet street overlooking the vondel park and distance to rijkmuseum and the the van Gogh museum being about 500metres. there is a tram very nearby however the centre of Amsterdam is walkable.

9.1

Great, I have already recommended and have friends who will stay here. Thank you!

7.4

clean hotel near a nice park.comfortable bed and quilt. state of art plumbing. comfortable bar lounge. good breakfast with a pleasant dining room. good value at the price I received.

7.8

Piet Hein is well-situated near Vondelpark and Museumplein. The staff were professional and courteous. I would definitely stay there again.

8.7

A warm welcome, very helpful staff, nice rooms, good buffet breakfast, well located for museums. Vondelpark across road. A very enjoyable stay, Thank you.
