Leidse Square Hotel - Amsterdam

9.2

Perfect place, nothing special but very well for our purpouse.

9.0

I would say the service staff seemed generally more helpful when they were addressing concerns within the hotel than in giving directions or being knowledgable about the city's attractions. Improvement in this area would help. The breakfast was good in terms of being ample and fresh but if you are expecting gourmet food it would be a disappointment. It was a good basic breakfast. Overall, our accommodations were great, the staff were friendly (within the stipulation listed above) and we had a marvelous time.

5.3

very small room. requested an additional luggage stand, and it didn't evoke a favorable response.

8.8

the hotel is situated very close to leidse plein, city centre (4-5 min.), museums (van gogh, rijksmuseum, concertgebow), vondel park, etc..

9.7

We highly recomend this hotel. We stayed 3 nights in Amsterdam and had a wonderful time in the city. The hotel is a perfect value for money match. Located on a quiet street near the centre. The staff was very helpful. Rooms are not a luxury but tidy and cosy, nice buffet breakfast.

8.3

Great location - quiet but handy for attractions.The narrow streets around Leidseplein are crammed with restaurants. Hotel clean and up to date would definately use again.

7.9

The only problem that we had it was the room they assigned us once we arrived because it was really small, but the gave us a wonderful room inmediately we asked for a better one. The second one was a big room with almost three times the size of the first one.

9.3

Excellent relationship between price and quality. I appreciated particularly the spaciousness and quitness of room, and politeness of staff.

7.3

Overall a good hotel but the room was not cleaned properly at our arrival. No minibar/fridge in the room was an unpleasant surprise. The hotel bartender was this hotel's best feature. Very funny and entertaining guy. :-)

8.1

è una struttura molto centrale, tutti i posti caratteristici di Amsterdam si possono raggiungere a piedi. le stanze sono pulite, la colazione è buona ed abbondante e il personale cortese e attento. Vi segnalo gli autobus che dall'aeroporto portano a Leidseplein, e viceversa: 197 o 370.

8.8

Non so se e' stato un caso ma la nostra stanza (twin bed) era molto spaziosa. La colazione era ricca e abbondante e la zona in cui e' ubicato l'hotel e' bella e attraversata da diversi mezzi pubblici che arrivano alla stazione centrale; inoltre 2 bus interurbani (al prezzo di soli 3 €) collegano l'hotel all'aeroporto. Lo consiglio!

9.3

This was an excellent hotel for our two night stay in Amsterdam. It was convenient for the City but in a very pleasant and quiet area. We would certainly stay there again if we needed to visit Amsterdam. Our only criticism is that the statement on the web site regarding walking time from the station is wildly optimistic - we took a good 30 minutes with cases. Take the tram!

8.0

I feel I've seen a whole new side to Amsterdam. The hotel was in a leafy green street that was really quiet, and yet it was very easy to get to and from the centre and all the attractions, by tram or by walking.

7.8

hotel discreto, adatto per tutte le famiglie e giovani coppie, collocazione eccellente siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti.

9.3

We really enjoyed our stay at Leidse Square Hotel - it is smack in the middle of town!The room was big, with a very nice big bathroom. The breakfast included in the price was very good. We struggled a bit to find the Hotel after taking the tram to Leidse suare from the train station. It is actually so easy - when you get off at Leidse Square, turn away from Leidse square and walk in the opposite direction. Look towards your left where you will see a high building with "black" windows - that is the small street you are looking for.It is really only a five minutes walk.

9.4

The Hotel Leidse Square Hotel is on a quiet side street off the square. Transportation is convenient. It is convenient to the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. You can walk to nearby neighborhoods that have restaurants that are not just for tourists.

8.8

We were very impressed with the hotel. The rooms are fairly small but it was nothing unexpected. It was clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The breakfast was great added extra. The location was fantastic very quiet and with in walking distance to all major sight seeing events. We felt very safe late at night. I would certainly stay there again.

8.7

We stayed in a triple room and it was spaciouse and quiet and with a super location. Great pizza: www.yamyam.nl/ adress: Frederik Hendrikstraat 88-90.

7.5

Lovely hotel, nice breakfast, would definately stay here again. Would be nice if they had more tables for 2 at breakfast....

5.0

I was mistaken with my ratings for Leidse hotel, but I am trying to correct my review with this text This hotel is magnificent, probably one of the best I have used in Europe. I've traveled enough and I know that hotels of this star rating are just "normal", but Leidse surprised me a lot mostly because of the quality/price ratio. The location is magnificent in a quiet street, we were given a room at fourth floor with a small balcony and we had a magnificent view. The breakfast was great, the stuff very polite and the only "minus" i would give is that they couldn't provide me a (paid) internet access card because they were run out of them. This was bad for me as i had to find a pub with free wi-fi at late evening. That's a difficult task in Amsterdam, i assure u. All in all though, Leidse is a 100% recommended hotel for this magnificent city and i will be back there in the future".

9.4

The hotel certainly lived up to expectations. Good quiet location with easy access to museums and the centre. Good breakfasts - highly recommend the hotel

8.9

Have no complaints about our stay & highly recommend this hotel for a short stay in Amsterdam. Worth that little bit extra cost for the quality of the accommodation. Breakfast excellent - that is the only time that one is aware of the many people staying overnight.

7.8

A good, clean friendly hotel in a great location. No complaints at all - maybe only some food snobs may have some problems with the breakfest being served in the hotel...

8.1

Strategic position, good quality, quiet and confortable room. To recommend.

9.3

hotel located well, very clean, very copious breakfasts, to recommend.

9.9

Buon Hotel per non fumatori, pulito silenzioso e confortevole. La colazione e' sempre stata buona e varia. Il personale si e' dimostato cortese e disponibile. Perfetta la vicinanza ai maggiori musei ed ai mezzi di trasporti pubblici. Lo consiglio vivamente

9.1

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good quality breakfasts. Very convenient location for museums and for public transport from airport and around Amsterdam.

9.0

I loved this hotel, great room and close to public transportation.

8.1

molto bene

8.6

Good relationship between price/quality, good position of hotel,quiet zone,good service.

10

Lovely and quiet area where hotel is located. Extremely nice staff and very helpful. I know Amsterdam accomodation is expensive, but this hotel was worth the expense. This isn't a complaint, but I'm a food snob and I hate seeing supermarket bread being served in hotels on the continent where excellent breads are available from bakeries. I really missed having lovely bakery breads for breakfast.

9.3

Excellent location. Clean, friedly and efficient for a great price.

9.7

good hotel in good place with good service and price

10

Very convenient hotel.particularly for the Galleries Excellent Breakfast

7.5

Would stay here again. Clean, good location, great breakfast included. There was some noise on the street that woke us up in the middle of the night. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room on the inside, not on the street.

8.7

A very good hotel near by the center very quite I ll be back next time!!!!!

9.5

Very nice hotel, which is very well located in a nice neighborhood, close to most of the main attractions, one minute walk to the tram. Comfortable beds in quiet room on a quiet road. Excellent breakfast. Many thanks to the staff for their hospitality and kindness. Definitely will visit Amsterdam again and stay at the same hotel.

9.7

Value for money was excellent. Very helpful staff and close to the major attractions. Extremely satisfied with the room and the service after much more expensive hotels in other areas of Europe.

9.0

Clean room,nice location-very good for the price.Good breakfast.After Paris it felt like haven.

5.7

Generally, hotels in Amsterdam are expensive. So does Leidse Square Hotel. An important thing I want to mention is a kind of fraud. For the majority of hotels in venere.com, no deposit is required. However, some hotels charge full amount even if the cancellation is made 2 months ahead! Hotel HEM 't Tolhuus is one of them!!! Unfortunately, venere.com does not help on this issue, and the willingness of improvement on it cannot be seen. So I recommend Leidse Square Hotel, it is an honest hotel.

8.2

Good breakfast

8.3

hotel is very close to leidse square and the museums... staff very friendly, good breakfast. rooms are a bit too small... but sincerly... who's gonna really sleep in amsterdam? :D

9.0

The location of this hotel is great! You can access the public transportation system and go anywhere in Amsterdam. The hotel is clean, and the breakfast was excellent.

8.1

We used this hotel for a one night stay before embarking on a cruise out of Amsterdam. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and helpful.

8.2

Hotel room was exactly as pictured. It was spacious and clean and in a very nice and safe neighborhood. It was located very close to the Leidsesplein tram stop, just over the bridge and another 1 1/2 blocks. Breakfast was nice. The only unusual thing about this hotel was they required you to deposit the key at the desk every time you left the hotel.

7.9

This hotel is in an excellent location and offers very good value for money. The rooms are comfortable with plenty of hot water in the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was really good with a full selection of breads, pastries, cheese, meats, preserves and drinks.

7.6

Perfect location and nice people. The only problem is in the breakfast, there is not enough meal for evreybody, for your breakfast you need to go to the buffet at least 4 or 5 times, because every time there is something finished. After some minutes, they will replace it, but you need to wait, because croissants are finished, or bread is finished or even there are no glasses. It's the only negative point. There are two women during the breakfast when they would need about four people.

6.3

First visit. Excellent location for visiting Rijksmuseum, just 5 min walk away. Very much a 'high turnover' type hotel but convivial bar and sandwiches were made for us 'after hours'. We were unlucky because aircon malfunctioned in our basement room making a terrible noise, but night porter moved us to an adjacent room very promptly. Our friends (2 other couples) has differing experiences. One couple had a noisy room and the others had a very quiet one. We did hear early morning noises as we were under main reception area and obviously people move in and out at all hours.Overall it was OK. We were only there for one night.

7.9

Very nice & friendly hotel, in a quiet, charming street and very well located: museums, shopping street, restaurants & cafes, canal sight-seeing, all this is in 5 minute walking range. A great hotel that fully deserves its 3 stars! We'll go back.

9.0

Location could hardly be better. Near everything you want to do or see. Rooms are big enough for 3 day stay and the staff was always helpful.

8.9

Great location a few blocks off Leidse Square & public transportation. Decent sized room, large bath by most European standards. Typical European breakfasts included, safe in room. Security very good, lobby door locked at night, buzz-in by 24 hr reception desk. Would stay there again and recommend to both families and singles. Only negative was shower drain very slow.

8.8

The room was not very large and there was no bathtub - but everything was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and everything functioned properly. There was a bit of street noise in the mornings but it was tolerable. The staff was welcoming and professional and the breakfast was just unbelievable (no offence, Di-Ann Hotel!). I was a bit disappointed by the lack of internet access: only one machine in the lobby, very expensive and with archaic version of Explorer (I wouldn't download a new version myself when I have to pay 5 euros for 30 minutes... but there is a place around the corner that only charges 1.25 for the same time...) Overall, very pleasant stay, great location on a quiet street just of Leidseplein.

7.9

This hotel has a very good price/quality. It is in near the center of Amsterdam, you can go to the center by walk (10 minutes) or with tram. The breakfast is very good, juces, cereals, coffee, tea, many kind of bread, ham, cheese, etc... Absolutely, we would return.

8.7

It was the first time we were in Amsterdam. The Leidse Square hotel is ideally located near Leidseplein, all major attractions are within walking distance. Also public transport is very near. The quarter is very nice and quiet. Rooms are clean and simple, but comfortable. The bed was small though (french bed with single matrace in a double room). Breakfast was also quite simple, coffee was good. All in all, a good budget stay. (One point: avoid wireless LAN in the hotel. It's a REAL rip-off; there are several inns in the surrounding offering WLAN free of charge)

5.7

Hotel grande de calidad media, ubicado en un buen barrio,(Plaza de Leidseplein) muy cerca de la red de tranvias de la ciudad, barcos de turismo por los canales, etc.. Personal de recepcion no fue atento, la habitacion que nos dieron al principio era chica y mala, fue necesario reclamar para que la cambiaran por una aceptable.La nueva habitacion era menos chica pero sin comodidades, sin frigobar ni A.A. El desayuno estaba incluido en la tarifa y era bueno.El hotel por fuera es muy bonito, bueno,todo Amsterdam lo es ......

9.7

Excellent hotel. Friendly and good location in Amsterdam. I will stay again there.

7.8

Excellent situation in the city, near all the interesting places and well communicated by tram: it takes 5 minutes to the Voldenpark, 10 minutes to the Museums (Van Gogh and Rijsk.), 20 minutes walking to the Red Quarter (5 by tram). Quiet rooms and surroundings. A good value for money and very helpful staff. I've been twice before to Amsterdam and the ACH Leidse Square Hotel has been my best experience for the moment. I strongly recommend it to everybody. Muy buen hotel si buscas una muy buena relación calidad-precio, sin lujos pero si ya no tienes edad para hacer de mochilero y buscas más comodidad. Zona tranquila pero proxima al centro a la vez. Agradable, muy limpio, desayuno aceptable, personal muy simpático y atento. Era mi tercera estancia en Amsterdam y sin duda esta ha sido la mejor, no dudaré en repetir en el futuro.

7.4

The room was small, but efficient. The bathroom was in very good condition and good shower/bath. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of selection and tables. Easily cater to full or continental breakfast.

10

Great location around the corner from the museums (Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh. Also close to Leidse Square where everything happens. Restaurants, Irish pubs are just a couple of blocks away. The pedestrian shopping way (Kalverstraat) is also close. Staff are amazing and breakfast included was good.Rooms are a good size. Would stay there again.

7.5

staff helpful and welcoming. Was asked if we preferred to pay at beginning or end of stay.One staff member in particular v.helpful for directions etc.Room spotlessly clean, area quiet as was hotel, except for one night when woken by very stoned woman shrieking in corridor at 1.30am, Got my own back as I removed her do not disturb notice on the way to breakfast!! Breakfast plentiful with enough choiceand dining room open for adequate time. Only thing that would put me off staying again, was the size of the room. Very small and very stuffy, only one window opened, and it was stifling. also only one chair, so one of us had to perch on bed.

10

Everything at the hotel exceeded our expectations, the Vondelpark was so close that from our room we could hear the ducks on the lake quacking, a bonus in the city!

7.8

Está al lado de la zona de los museos, a unos, 15-20 minutos andando del centro. Para mi, el hotel está muy bien y andando en un momento estás en la Dam Place.

9.2

GOOD POSITION NEAR LEIDSPLAIN AND SEVERAL BUS STOP LINE AND BUS AIRPORT 370. BEAUTILF BUFFET BREAKFAST

9.5

Excellent area for restaurants and public transportation

9.2

Great room for the price. Very close to all of the museums.

7.1

Good location, very near areas where there are good number of clubs, restaurants and major tram stop. near Van Gogh museum and fashion district. Room was very comfortable for the price. bathroom needs refurbishing maybe in the next year, staff was okay. nobody will greet you to the door and help carry your bags to the room. breakfast was buffet but consisted mostly of bread, cheese and cold ham, only hot dish was boiled eggs.

8.9

Extremely spacious rooms, especially by Amsterdam standards, and very clean. Great breakfast also.

8.8

very nice bar, and many thanks to the nice bartender who was exellent in his due to both service and respect to all the customers....:-)

9.9

Would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Amsterdam for a short break. The location is superb - the busy Leidseplein and museums minutes away, yet in a quiet street so you don't get the noise at night. The reception staff were charming, friendly and efficient with a box of chocolates provided on check in. The reception staff recommended getting the bus in front of the American hotel back to Schiphol, which we did, for €1 per person (surely a mistake but heck, the driver quoted the price and took our money). The breakfast was good value and you could see a wide age range (from students to the elderly) all enjoying this great value for money hotel. I'd definitely stay here again.

6.4

Great location. The rooms are very small and you can hear your neighbors and other hotel guests in the hallway quite clearly. Would probably stay here again.

8.7

The Leidse Square Hotel is very conveniently located, in a quiet area yet close to the city and points of interest, including the famous Amsterdam museums and the many food outlets. It was only about 3-4 minutes walk from the bus-stop. Breakfast, which comes with the room, presented a sufficient variety and you could eat as much as you wanted. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, making suggestions on the best ways of enjoying Amsterdam, rather than waiting for us to ask questions. In particular I must compliment Ms Martina of the Front Desk for her cheerful and thoughtful ways. Our 2 days at this hotel made our stay in Amsterdam all that better!

9.6

this hotel was very pleasant. Breakfast included was perfect. A recommander chaleureusement.

8.7

Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been appreciated

4.3

If you don’t like surprises, stay away from this hotel. We had a reservation for two nights. First night wasn’t so bad, even if the stairs were far too steep and the room too small. We left the next morning and we returned one day after. We were very surprised when we were informed that our room was in the basement. As we didn’t have another choice, we accepted the room. First thing I remarked was a dirty towel on the floor. I tried to take a shower, but it was impossible, as the water couldn’t drain from the tub. Even if somebody came and fixed the problem, it wasn’t very pleasant, or at least not for the price we paid for the room (120 EUR). Besides this, we couldn’t sleep at all because of the noises above. And this is not the end of our problems. We were told that we could park our car in the parking near the hotel for less than 20 EUR/day and in reality we paid 48 EUR/day, more precisely for 21 hours. Thanks God, Amsterdam is a nice place!

8.6

This is a hotel situated right where you want to be regarding shops, restaurants and museums. It is very convenient to go between Schiphol and the hotel by the buss shuttle that takes you strait to the door. The personnel are very helpful in taking care of you and your needs. The rooms are quit standard nothing more or less the expected, but nice and clean. It is well worth a stay while doing Amsterdam

8.1

The room was very spacious and the location is close to Leidse Plein. I would come back to this hotel.

9.7

Excellent hotel with friendly staff and good breakfast. The location is convenient to Leidse Square and central Amsterdam, but is on a side street so that the street noise level is low.

8.3

Excellent location, very quiet, friendly staff. Spacious room. The bed was on the (very) soft side though. All in all, good value for the money.

6.8

Rooms are basic but clean. Breakfast was great as lots of variety and eat\drink as much as you like. It is the breakfast that made this hotel worth the cost as the rooms are basic. Only complaint would be no tea\coffee making facilities available in room. Quiet location but close enough to sights & resturants etc. Easy to find.

8.9

Great location and excellent value. The room was on the small side but very well kept and maintained. The shower is too small but this is a minor inconvenience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

6.4

At first, after a luke-warm, we were shown a very mediocre and dark room. When we politely asked whether we might have a better one, we got a spacious and confortable one, but alas on the street-side, and therefore somewhat noisy. Breakfast was in keeping with the Startian Dutch tradition of mediocrity in this field. All and all not bad for Amsterdam.

7.4

A good modest hotel. Unfortunately however the public bar area was much too smokey, so we did not go in there, a shame because wwe would have liked to.

7.3

No indication on any websites that this was a no-smoking hotel.

6.9

In general, a good choice for a travel to Amsterdam. Located in the Museum Quartier, the Hotel offers a nice accomodation at a convenient price. Just a little shortcoming: the elevator is really too slow!!

8.3

Good hotel 2 min from Leidseplein. Room quite small but comfortable. Employees are kind and the bar of the hotel is very nice.

7.6

Das zugewiesene Zimmer hatte an der Decke an mehreren Stellen "Spinnweben". Nach Reklamation an der Rezeption bekamen wir sofort ein sauberes Ersatzzimmer. Alles im allen ist das Hotel zu empfehlen.

7.8

On friday, The Van Gogh Museum it's open till late... No queues, no crowd... and three guitarists playing in the hall. Perfect after a day around and before dinner!

8.6

The safe was broken. They said they would fix it but never did.

9.5

I is a very good priced hotel, close to center and in peaceful region.. A good choice for those who dont want to spend too much. Our room was very big (has its own 2-seat sofa)

6.5

The hotel was located within walking distance of downtown Amsterdam, the museum square, and anything you needed. The customer service at the hotel was great, and there was a big continental breakfast that was included with the hotel stay (well worth it). The only thing that went wrong was that when we arrived, our room did not have air condition. It does not say online that only half of the rooms have AC. I let them know that I reserved the room because it said oline that the hotel is air conditioned. However, the next day, we were able to change rooms with air condition. Only superior rooms have AC!!!! Overall...the location was awesome!!!

9.6

The front desk person told us they had a flat rate with a cab company of 35 Euros to the airport. When we caught a cab the next day, it was 62 Euros, perhaps because there was road construction, but we didn't calculate that in our funds or time to get to the airport.

7.1

Einmal gefunden, was etwas durch Baustellen erschwert war, konnten wir problemlos beim freundlichen Personal einchecken. Parkplätze leider nicht kostenlos, also Zusatzkosten von mindesten 18 Euro/Tag - Tagesticket konnte man aber unkompliziert an der Rezeption erwerben. Zimmer waren standardmäßig gut eingerichtet, beanstandungslos sauber und auch das Bad war angemessen. Fernsehen ok: 2xDeutsch / 4xEnglisch, Rest holländisch, aber es gibt viele Englische Sendungen (Serien, Filme etc) im Englischen Orginal mit Untertiteln. Klimaanlage war diesen Sommer sehr nützlich, wenn auch zu laut für die Nacht. Nähe zum Vondelpark und zum Zentrum ideal, ohne zu laut zu sein. Unser Zimmer lag leider in der Nähe der Treppen im Hochpaterre und neben den öffentliche Toiletten für das Erdgeschoss, was die Ruhe zeitweise minderte, aber zumindest nachts nicht störte. Frühstück standard mit verschiedenen Brötchen, Croissants, Brot, Aufschnitt, Müsli, Fruchtsäfte, Tee/Kaffee - nichts warmes. Mit den Gästen hatten wir ausser beim Frühstück keinen Kontakt, da es aber auch keine anderen Räumlichkeiten zum treffen gibt, geht man dort auch nicht davon aus, dass dies großartig geschehen soll. Alles in allem sehr von Preis/Leistungsverhältnis und Lage zu empfehlen.

8.7

Very good location for first time visit to Amsterdam. Within walking distance of all major sights and good tram connections. A quiet side street to a more busy thoroughfare. A most pleasant stay.

8.2

Location of hotel was nicer than what was shown in pictures. Friendly staff. Public transportation was very close to the hotel. Would recommend to others leisure travelers.

8.3

Good quiet hotel, clean, friendly and helpful staff and good buffet breakfast. The only fault I could report was the pathetic continental room lighting that reminded me of the light given off by a Child's nightlight(although this is something that I have experienced in many European hotels) The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from Volendam Park, the Ricks and Van Gough museums & nightlife. The Waterbus and trams are also just a few minutes walk away which makes the ACH Leidse Square hotel a good base for touring the rest of the city. The Leidseplein area has an fantastic choice of restaurants ranging from local fare to Argentine, Greek, Italian, Indonesian, to Nepalese. In a word, would I recommend this hotel to anyone on a short stay in Amsterdam - definitely. Or perhaps I should say no and keep it the pleasure of staying there to myself, in case it became too popular.

6.9

Overall a fair price for the quality and amount of service. We were given one of the smaller rooms on the first floor, though i had requested a quiet room and it was quite crampped. The ammenities were not luxurious, but very functional.

7.9

Nice little hotel - good 3 star rating. Great location and staff were very friendly/helpful and spoke very good english. Only downside, no air conditioning, and rooms did get quite hot and only one small window to open - we went in mid June. All in all fine.

6.9

Would definitely stay there again. Very nicely situated.
