Westcord City Centre hotel Amsterdam - Amsterdam

8.8

The hotel was clean and quiet. But it was off season so I think that in high season may be more noise. The room was clean, the air in the room was fresh and the bathroom was very nice and spacious. The room service was very good. The room was at the last floor so you could partly see the city skyline. The hotel is close to central station and close to the Dam Square. You can easily access the Kalverstraat shopping area and the Red Light District in less than 10 minutes. Nearby hotel there is a tramway station. You have direct connection to Leidseplein and Museumplein in less than 10 minutes by tram. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

7.0

Tiny rooms. Very good location. Reasonable price for Amsterdam's patterns. Free broad band internet.

7.2

The standard room and the deluxe room has a big difference! The picture showed on the web is the deluxe room and not the standard room. The standard room is old and small, but clean, while the deluxe room is trendy and beautiful!

6.6

good place

9.9

This was a very nice hotel in a great location. On the main road but didn't make it noisey in the room. Pleasant bars and restaurants opposite, not badly priced for the dam. Have been before but stayed in different hotels, best so far. Had requested seperate beds for me and my dad and the hotel hadnt realised this at first, however, the reception staff were very friendly and apologetic and before check in was complete they had booked us into a triple room instead as the twin rooms had all been taken - excellent service.

7.6

The rooms are clean and simple and the hotel is ideally positioned, being a short walk from the station, Dam Square just down the road etc. I stayed in two different rooms on my stay and would recommend the rooms on the street side of the hotel because the ones on the inside were incredibly stuffy, and the roads aren't that noisy, so all-in-all you get a better nights sleep. That aside, no problems.

9.6

Very clean room. Bedding and towels very clean. Staff very friendly. Location excellant for everything in center of Amsterdam. Price very good value for money for facilities and location.

8.7

Very much traffic noice.

7.4

I was offered an upgrade (for an additional 20 Euros a night) at check in and am glad that I took it. The room was spacious (by European standards) and otherwise I would have been in a room that had not been renovated. The best part about the upgraded room was that it shared no walls with other rooms, hence it was quite quiet. The decor was contemporary and nicely done.

8.7

Nice , quite hotel in the very center of Amsterdam.Perfect location.Good value for money. Friendly and helpfull staff.We arrived at 10.30 /check in is 3.00pm/in the morning ,but they do cheched us in without any disputes. We would use this hotel again

5.4

The room was very small and located right near an elevator so there was always noise from the elevator and from people exiting the elevator. The room was very small and the beds were dreadful; very lumpy and so soft you could feel the springs poking you. I felt the price was too high for the quality of the beds, the noise and the room size. The hotel was well located though.

7.3

I booked a Standard Double/Twin room from 6/6 to 9/6. I paid €285. The hotel did not even provide daily breakfast which I think they should for that price I paid. The room & location is excellent. The room even has a bathtub. Transportation is good. Outside the hotel, there are trams & buses. Overall I am satisfied with the hotel.

9.4

It was our first time here, the staff were always friendly and helpful, the hotel has a great location, the breakfast was good as well, with quite good choice options. The room was spacious enough, it had TV as well. I would recommend this to anybody, good value for your money.

3.7

the price of the room was too much for this hotel, the room was extremely tinny and the lights inside the room were very poor. However the location is excellent. Just one details: we ask for a nice room, (not an upgrade!) and they told that that because we booked by Venere and it was an offer they can give us the cheapest room they have. The breakfast is not included and cost 20 euros. I will not come book in this hotel again.

4.9

You won't find much better in Amsterdam at this price and location. They were not particularly friendly, however. I also felt that having the room ready by 3pm and requiring checkout at noon was a bit of a rip-off.

2.3

Web site should be responsible for the correspondence between the actual property and the displayed information

10

very close to railway station cafes and shops

9.7

el hotel esta muy bien, en el centro junto a la plaza dam y el barrio rojo. las habitaciones no son espaciosas, pero esta todo muy nuevo y muy bien. sin tener el desayuno incluido, a la salida del hotel todas las mañanas había un termo con café y otro con té para llevar. hay una recepcionista que habla español, y son muy amables. repetiría sin dudarlo.

7.4

A nice hotel, very good location although it feels a bit close to the more "dangerous areas". If I go to Amsterdam in the future I will probably choose a hotel more away from the central parts of the city. It is overall a very nice hotel, but they charge €15 for breakfast so I really recommend to buy your breakfast outside instead. There are some really nice places just 5 minutes away. If you stay here, make sure to get a room with windows away from the big street. We had rooms with windows to the smaller street behind the hotel and it was very quite.

8.1

Wir waren im Sommer in Amsterdam. Das Hotel liegt 5 Gehminuten vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt es ist somit sehr zentral gelegen. Wir hatten ein Deluxe-Zimmer mit freiem Internetanschluss. Das Zimmer hat uns gefallen. Das Badezimmer ist jedoch nicht so wie man es sich gewohnt ist. Es ist zwar sehr schön und modern eingerichtet, aber nicht richtig vom Schlafbericht abgetrennt. Die Tür und Wände sind aus Glas und nicht zu 100% undurchsichtig. Wir wissen nicht wie die anderen Zimmer sind, aber wir würden dieses Hotel deshalb nur einem Paar empfehlen, dass sich gut kennt. Das Frühstück war nicht im Preis inbegriffen. Für 15 Euro gibt es aber eine grosse Auswahl. Wir haben jedoch nur ein Mal im Hotel gefrühstückt. In der Nähe gibt es genug Bäckereien oder Bars die englisches Frühstück anbieten. Gleich gegenüber vom Hotel gibt es eine Fahrradvermietung. Wir haben für 10 Euro ein Rad gemietet und so Amsterdam erkundet. Man sieht viel Mehr als wenn man mit dem Tram fährt.

8.9

Accoglienza ottima e camere molto belle anche se piccole ma per una coppia sono ottime. Vicinissimo a Dam Square quindi ottimo per muoversi al centro. Pensiamo di tornarci il prossimo anno

6.5

Hotel is in the very center of Amsterdam: perfect location. Room "Star" (=Deluxe) is quite small and the bathroom is ... special => only window (door too), so very low privacy : especially for couples! Conclusion : good hotel, price a bit high... you may find better deals .

4.8

We had a problem with our booking as it wasn't made clear that we had chosen a non refundable/changeable booking. When I sent copies of the confirmation emails to the hotel, the staff there were very good and offered a refund and admitted this was a problem with the Venere website. Other than that, the hotel was ok for a short stay but rooms are v small and breakfast at 15 Eur is expensive. The location is excellent though.

7.6

The room itself was clean and comfortable. I thought it was stingy to have to pay an extra 15 euro each for breakfast, and to charge 6euro an hour for internet. very stingy. the staff though were very helpful and friendly.

8.1

Very nice hotel, for a good price, situation make all the points of interest reachable by feet.

7.9

Situación ideal para recorrer Amsterdam. Limpio, comodo y accesible desde la estación Central. Habitaciones justas pero con lo necesario.

5.0

When i booked the room, I make sure, I got a non smoke room when I get at the Tulip Inn Amsterdam Centre, so I wrote an email and asked a confirmation. I got the confirmation and printed the paper......my godness it saved my stay !! because the recepcionist when I asked a non smoke room he said no I cannot garantee it , so I showed the paper, then after few discussion, and showing the confirmation printed to the manager, they upgraded my room to DELUXE (??) and at list was not that bad smelling. But During the night even having the air conditioning turned off into the room, from the air circulation tube you can smell the cigars smaoke. For people that do not smoke, it's quite impossible do not perceive that !!

7.0

Basic hotel but in an excellent location. The room is little more than a bed facing a TV, with the bathroom only partially obscured by frosted glass. If you're sharing, make sure you know your companion well and they don't snore!

6.6

I was surprised to find that a deluxe star room was no bigger than a broom closet and our 3rd floor view was of an interior shaft right above a noisy air conditioning unit or some such machine. After one night we were switched to a larger room for the remaining 2 nights and this made a huge difference. It seems all the rooms are petite but quite cute and do not provide much privacy (swinging glass door to the bathroom which doesn't have a bath,shower only....) Way overpriced breakfast and internet....lot's of stuff in the area though so we didn't have to pay those exhorbitant prices. Good juice/smoothie place just round the corner. Hotel location terrific.Close to Central Station.

9.8

good location!!!

2.8

the room was really too little and oppressive

8.7

room was very nicely, & uniquely, decorated. bed very comfortable xcept its 2 twins put together. bathroom ensuite, very nice & spacious but has partially frosted glass walls on the interior of room so limited privacy. great location to downtown. tram stop close. if to stay during queensday (4/29-30) don't get streetside if you don't like noise. (we were too tired to care and slept like babies!)

4.6

Noise rooms.

9.8

our party of 6 totally enjoyed the experience of the hotel. great base for touring the city,close to most attractions and we'll undoubtedly be back.

6.5

Great location, close to train station. Funky decor, quite small room, but good enough. Our early check-in request was not accommodated (11 a.m.) so it was tough to walk around Amsterdam for 3 hours with a jet lag. It may turn off people who've never been to Amsterdam if the hotel says that they are smack in the middle of the Red Light District, because it is. But the red light district is fun, safe, harmless, touristy, but not for little children.

9.9

The hotel is in the perfect spot, close to everything. Plenty of places around to get a breakfast , brunch, lunch etc. Because of its refurbishment the public areas and rooms are just great! Nicely designed interiors, spotless, non-smelly, quiet rooms (but during the working week there is a noise from rooms being refurbished, but not during weekends!) comfortable bed, tea/coffe facilities; funny bathrooms with glazed walls. We had a room overlooking the back (pedestrian?) street, 3rd floor, we could see a cat wandering on the roof-tops ;) They didnt complain about us living the room around noon every day; the only minuses is the lack of the mini-bar or just a fridge, and all the switches to all the lights that are located near the bed are exactely between the pillows, so everytime you move your pillow- you switch on/off something :D Definitely - recommended!!!

5.2

There was a lot of work taken place in the hotel when i stayed there. I got no confirmation from the hotel to tell me that this was taken place.There was a very high volume of noise from workmen at very early times of the morning. I was there to relax, not to stay in a building site. I had a very poor stay.I will probley never stay here again because of this.I will not be recommending this hotel to any of my family or friends

7.4

Restaurants nearby with good food and human prices. Just a few steps from shopping street.

8.9

We paid 80 euros via Venere when the room costed 240 euros if you book it directly in the hotel. Nice, clean and in the perfect place, near to the station, in a street with 4 or 5 tram lines. We serioulsy recommend it!

8.8

l'hotel si trova in un ottima posizione vicino alla stazione dei treni e al centro della città con di fronte la fermata del tram.Le camere sono molto pulite anche se piccole e a scelta fumatori e non.Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile.

6.5

Hotel sehr zentral aber dennoch relativ ruhig gelegen.Leider gibt es keinen eigenen Parkplatz,so das man die riesige Tiefgarage unmittelbar vor dem Hotel nutzen muß,was zwar auch bequem ist,aber leider 40,- € für 24 Stunden kostet.Das Zimmer war soweit ok,nur sollte man die Wände mal neu streichen und die Gummilippen der Dusche erneuern...!Die Matratzen waren so durchgelegen,das ich am nächsten Tag Rückenschmerzen hatte..nun ja.Ansonsten wars eine ruhige Übernachtung und wer nette Filme und Musik auf dem Zimmer haben möchte,der kommt voll auf seine Kosten.

7.7

Just a few minutes away from the Central Station, with trams stopping outside the hotel, this is a good location for anyone who wants to have the city at their fingertips. Despite the location beside a main road, noise levels were not disturbing, even with the window open. The Star room (apparently a deluxe room) had a decent standard incl. air conditioning, though it was a bit small. The glass cubicle that is the bathroom was novel but otherwise up to notch. We didn't eat any meals at the hotel since it only offers a continental breakfast buffet. The restaurants and pubs within 50-100 meters of the hotel offer much more sumptious breakfasts (pancakes, full English, etc) for much less than what the hotel charges. I'll stay here again!

6.3

The rooms are not very spacious, good to have facility like ice vending machine and ironing board in the common area, location is very good, matress is too soft and split bed not appropriate for couples

8.2

The hotel is in a good location. Redlight district is 2 blocks away. Public transportation is readily available. Breakfast was good, but added 12 euro to the bill. The room was very clean, although on the smallish side.

7.7

The hotel was in a great location and within walking distance of all the major sites. The hhotel was clean and the staff helpful. Be aware that the french breakfast is a coffee/tea and a croissant, although a buffet breakfast is available at extra cost. We stayed in the basic room which was very comfortable but if you have an extra 20 euros you should go for the star rooms for a more modern look.

2.5

This hotel provides two kinds of breakfast; one, very poor in the hall (coffe, tea and croissant) and another, a rich one, in the restaurant. First kind of breakfast is included in room price while you must pay 10 Euros for the second one. Carpet in our room was very dirty with some big red stains under the table. We spent 4 days in the hotel and we will not return there in future.

7.5

trés jolie chambre, desing réussi. le petit déjeuner français comprend seulement croissants, petit pains au chocolat, thé ou café. Donc pas exceptionnel, mais ceci est le seul bémol

8.8

IO E IOL MIO RAGAZZO SIAMO STATI PER LA PRIMA VOLTA AD AMSTERDAM,SIAMO RIMASTI PIENAMENTE SODDISFATTI DELL'HOTEL.LE CAMERE SONO MOLTO CARINE E PULITE...FORSE UN PO' PICCOLE MA PER QUEL POCO CHE SI STA IN STANZA NON E' RILEVANTE LA GRANDEZZA.L'IMPORTANTE E' LA PULIZIA E DEVO DIRE CHE LA NOSTRA STANZA ERA PULITISSIMA.LA POSIZIONE E' OTTIMA,SI TROVA PROPRIO DIETRO PIAZZA DAM E VICINISSIMO ALLA STAZIONE CENTRALE E AI MEZZI PUBBLICI.L'UNICA PECCA E' LA COLAZIONE...UN PO' SCARSA...PER IL RESTO 10 E LODE.L'HO CONSIGLIATO AI MIEI AMICI E SE TORNERO' AD AMSTERDAM SONO CERTA CHE RIPRENOTERO' AL RAMADA.

8.7

A very nice hotel, in an very comfi location. Very comfi beds :) I would come here again...

8.0

small(compact)but nicely laid out room did the job,i will use this hotel again

8.0

We requested our reservation far in advance yet when we arrived we were told the type of room we wanted was not availabile and we would neet to upgrade to a higher priced room that was EXTREMELY tiny. I did not think they could make a room that small.

8.6

City centre and railway station are reachable by feet. Perfect for leisure and business travel.

10

Agosto 2006. Excelente hotel. Vale la pena pagar su costo debido a la gran atencion al cliente, la gran amabilidad del personal, la limpieza de las habitaciones y la situacion centrica del hotel. Volveria sin pensarlo dos veces. August 2006. Excellent hotel. It's worth its cost since it has a great customer service, the hotel personnel is extremely kind, all rooms and hotel premises are very tidy, and moreover it's centrally situated. I'd come back without second thoughts.

8.7

STAR rooms are new fashion. Thay have been remodelated and looks modern and nice. Reality is much better than some nternet photos. Front rooms with some noise (from trams), but you can ask for rear (very quit). Breakfast with coffe and excelent croisant included and buffet available (+7€) at your choice. Excelent location, near centarl station, city center and trams lines.

9.8

The room is nice, and the location is great, there is a tram station just in front of the hotel. But the price is a little bit high due to the location. The room is quiet due to the double glass, even it faced the street I won't here anything, which is good. I reccomend this hotel.

6.3

smal rooms

3.1

Very bad experience from our stay there, small rooms most of them overlooking the "inner yard " which is 3x3 m, the sink is in the room itself and separated only by a paravan from the bad. The cups where just dirty. The most disapointing was the BREAKFAST - advertised as French breakfast, sorry but the French hotels will be ashamed to serve this type of breakfast at a room price of 120 Euro. The food included in the room charge appeared to be only croisants or danish pastry ( only one type, not the two together ) with coffee or tea. And this " French breakfast" is served not in a dining room but in front of Reception, in the lounge, not to mention the people checking in and out at the same time. If you would like to have a proper food, of course is available but for the supplemented 7,50 Euro per person, vaucher sold by Reception. Nothing was mention about this at the time of booking, otherwise we would never book it. I am a diabetic and at the time of our first breakfast when we were surprised by what we have to eat I asked to speak to the Duty Manager or somebody else in charge. The receptionist told me there is nobody in charge until 9.30 am. And about my dietary requirements she offer free breakfast vaucher but only for me and I my wife wasn't able to join me in the dining room. Separated for breakfast is a very poor start for everybody's holiday. Huge disappontment overall. We are in the Hospitality business for over 12 years. I am a Restaurant Manager of a 4 star, 104 rooms hotel, my wife is a an Assistant Housekeeping Manager and we know very well what means Guest Service and Satisfaction. Nothing like that in Ramada, Amsterdam.

9.5

My friend and I had a superb stay at this hotel, the breakfasts were lovely and what a choice!. Room was small but comfortable, a bit noisy as our room was next to the lift shaft. There was also on-going refurbishment at the time of our stay, however it didn't spoil our stay and wouldn't hesitate staying again as long as the price was right!!. Situation of this hotel is just perfect for Dam Square and it's surroundings and for the railway station. Most of the sights of Amsterdam were within walking distance or just a quick tram ride away. Thank You, Venere for handling my booking!! Trish Brogan-Shaw.

8.9

A good solution closed to railways station and most important attractions

3.9

We booked a 'double superior' room and the room we were given had less than 2 feet space on either side of the bed. The shape of the room was rather strange - the room itside being an interior room. The window, which was out onto a 'lightwell' gave us a view of a blank wall which was only a few feet away. If this room was what they class as 'superior' I am so glad we didn't book into anything less. I would not recommend the hotel to anyone on the basis of our stay.

7.1

It was a great experience.I've just got a problem on my arrival day.The Hotel did not receive my booking confermation by fax,at the end the kindness person at the reception found a free room for me.

8.4

This was really a nice hotel. There is a parking quite near (app.€ 37,- per day) and it is situated directly at the red light district and not too far from the train station. there is a streetcar just in front of the hotel. The staff of the hotel was very nice, they looked for our lugage and as we asked for a address they looked it up in the internet and told which streetcar to take. the room was good equipped. the bathroom had bathtub and toilet and there was a space in front with washbasin, hairdryer and a closet (there is only 1 closet so it is better for short stays as we had). there is also a safe to rent, a water digester (tea and coffee) and a tv. the hotel is also very safe - you get a chipcard with which you can open your room doors and use the elevator. the only thing which was not good was the expensive breakfast with not much choice - it is better to go in a cafe or so nearby, it is better and cheaper. all in all in was a good hotel and i would go there again.

7.6

Due to no air-con I had to keep the window open. My room was faceing street from 2nd floor and noise from the street was rather annoying.

7.3

would use again

4.7

We felled a little hustled by the Hotel and the Room Reservation: 1)The Room Reservation was telling '1 Double superior': Now in reality it was a tiny little room form 3x2,5m and a bed that was too small for 2 persons. 2) The Hotel parameters was indicating that they had a car parking: now they didn't had a car parking, there was a public parking just across the street at a rate of 36EUR/day Also the breakfast arrangement was not OK: people had to queue for their coffee and we had to go to the reception to get a voucher to get access to the breadfast room

8.0

Single room quite small but adequate. No AC; window doesn't open too wide, I wouldn't want to be there if it was hot. They did have a nice little fan that you can turn on to drown out street noise. Excellent location!

4.5

Too expensive for a single (very small) room! The only good thing was the boiler with tea and coffe.

8.6

The hotel was perfect and ideal location but no bar.

9.9

becarefull because the prices are not the same in the summer. Very excellent hotel / prestations This hotel is located in the town center, between the red light district and the romantic spot

9.6

Excellant service, staff very friendly and helpful. Location perfect and price great. Did not realise there was a 5% city charge on top of the internet price that as quoted (however this worked out to only a couple of £'s extra) Would definately stay again and recommend it to others looking for affordable, AND great quality accommodation.

6.0

Hotel in centro ma le stanze sono piccole, forse caratteristica comune a molti hotel in città europee

8.0

Room was small but clean, staff very hospitable and well informed and very nice. I will definately go back there.

7.2

NICE HOTEL WELL LOCATED NEARBY THE STATION. GOOD BREAKFAST BUT A LITTLE EXPENSIVE. AN IMPORTANT DISADVANTAGE IS THE NOISE CONCERNING THE ROOMS WITH VIEW ON THE STREET (NO SOUNDPROOFING), BOOK ROOMS ON THE BACK.

7.5

There is no name "Ramada" outside the building, so in order to find the hotel easily, you may watch the name "AMS Amsterdam City Centre".

9.8

As indicated above, the Hotel was excellent, in a very central location.The room was very clean and the staff both curteous (as you would expect from the Dutch Nation) and knowledgeable- (they were able to recommend an Indonesian restaurant in Leidersplein that was excellent) Only two small hic ups - The hotel name was not as advertised on the outside of the building ( I gather this hotel was a recent aquisition and the signs had not been changed at the time of our arrival) and though we had ordered a double bed we had two singles. We would use the hotel and booking agency again.

5.2

The hotel was in an excellent location near all the main sites but I would still not recommend it to anyone. The staff had very little knowledge of the tourist attractions and they certainly need a course in customer service. Don't ask any questions if you stay in this hotel! The room was too warm (probably +30c). We had the window open all the time with freezing temperatures outside but could still not avail of the sheets on the bed. We were constantly dehydrated. I don't have any other hotels to compare with but I will definitely chose another hotel next time I'm going to Amsterdam.

7.8

hotel information on your page, and physical conditions matched well. info all accurate, and necessary details are added. Overall stay made us right that we picked the right location in town.

8.9

Very good hotel for the main attractions. Great price for the city centre and the rooms although small, were modern and clean. Don't be put off by the dodgy decor in the corridors. Breakfast is a bit pricey but you are so near to everything, have a lay in and grab some breakie in the city!

7.9

good 3 star hotel situated in the heart of Amsterdam, the rooms were clean and comfortable, nice atmosphere in the hotel

8.2

Great location Very close to all the sights. No air con in rooms So avoid hot summer stays. Some good restaurants close by.

6.3

we arrived early around 11.00am hoping a room would be available. The staff were welcoming and helpful in advising us that the offical arrival time was not until 2.00pm,however we were allowed to leave our luggage and do a bit of sightseeing returning at the allocated time. There were no difficulties checking in but at breakfast the next morning we were asked for our "breakfast tokens" which we had apparently not been given at check in. I had tried to explain to the breakfast waiter we had booked B&B but it was not until i produced a copy of the e-mail receipt showing our board confirmation that this was eventually resolved and we we allowed to have breakfast and furnished with tokens for the rest of our stay. In general the rooms are very clean but hot in the summer.The location of the hotel is very good only a 10 minute walk from centraal station,close to tram stops and central Dam.Our room looked over a main street and was noisy with cars and trams rattling by. i would use this hotel again.

8.1

A very nice, friendly and safe hotel not far from the train station. Easy to get to all the main attractions. A good breakfast and clean rooms

10

It was great - the staff were friendly and professional. The room was huge and very clean and comfortable. It was located on one of the main streets, but was still quiet and felt safe.

7.7

The hotel was just where we wanted, clean and very friendly. We have already recommended to our friends. We will stay there again next time we come to Amsterdam.

3.9

This 3* hotel was not in my opinion up to the same standard as a 3* Dublin Hotel. The decor was very dull and and old fashioned. The triple room was extrememly cramped and when we enquired about gatting an extra fan we were told no.For a room only basis I did not find this hotel good value. The staff were however very friendly and effiecient.

8.6

Beds comfortable,showers excellent. Staff polite and helpful.Will use this hotel again when in Amsterdam.

6.8

The email sent from the hotel to confirm the booking, stated that breakfast was included in the price and we had a double bed room booked. But when we checked in we were told that breakfast wasn't included and what room would be like. The reception staff sorted out the breakfast as soon as I showed them the email.
