Independent, Amsterdam West Hotels

Stayed at this hotel on 8 Feb 2015 with a friend and would definitely return. The hotel is beautifully designed and looks lovely both in rooms and communal areas. There was a Krups coffee machine in my room with complementary sachets which was a nice touch. The bathroom was very spacious with a bath and separate walk in shower and toiletries were provided. The bed was very large and comfortable and there was a good place to sit and apply makeup. The common areas of the hotel were comfortable and secluded in parts which made it feel private although you were sat in the reception, the staff were also very friendly and helpful and provided local knowledge where we needed it. The location of the hotel is just outside the centre, about a 20 minute walk to Dam Square, or you can get tram 13 or 14 for €2.90 which is very cheap, the trams are also very regular. As a guide, a taxi home from the gay district was about €13 and to the airport €40. My only complaint about my entire stay was that there was no fresh or UHT milk in my room to have with my coffee. I would definitely recommend this hotel to couples, friends and families looking to stay in Amsterdam and will be returning if I come back.

Staff at reception go above and beyond to help you. The rooms are spacious and look just like the pictures which not many other hotels do! The hotel hasn't got much going on around the apartment but it's a minute walk to the station which takes you straight to Central within 5 minutes. Would defently stay here again and would recommend to family and friends.

I really liked this hotel, especially the staff. A nice gentleman who works there tried making everything as comfortable as possible for me. He helped me with navigation, renting a bike and any questions I may have had. The hotel room was great, clean, very nice bathroom, nice location; the breakfast was very good, especially for Amsterdam (there was more variety and great coffee). There is also a rather good restaurant on the premises. The hotel may be a little further away from the more popular areas, but I viewed this as a benefit, since it was nice and quiet at night. There are several main tram lines right outside, which, in addition to bike rental, make you you well connected. I will certainly stay here the next time around!

Hotel is located within walking distance to old city as well to any museums/attractions. 10-15 minutes to red district. Parking is secured, we payed 24euros for all day+night. Room was specious and modern as per photos. Bathroom mirror and floor was littebit dusty but other then that very clean. Bed are big and comfy -not to hard-not to soft - just perfect. Lady at reception was helpful and gave us Amsterdam map explaing what is near to hotel and marked hotel location which helped a lot as most of the streets look alike. Breakfast was served as a buffet but there was a lady asking if we would like fresh pancakes/scrambled eggs ect. It was the best breakfast I ever eat in hotel. I will definitely come back and recommend to friends.

The welcome was friendly and informative. The room clean, bright, modern and quiet. It's only 5 minutes walk to the tram stop and reception sell tram tickets which is ideal, Superb - will come again.

Very friendly and helpful staff at the hotel. Room was good, comfortable bed and pillows, really lovely bathroom and shower. Food in the restaurant was enjoyable, at a reasonable price. Getting around Amsterdam was easy on frequent buses and trams. Enjoyed seeing the Light Festival from canal boat, although had expected a bit more of it. To see Amsterdam at night from the canal was worth doing. If visiting Anne Franks House book on-line well before. We had skip-the-line tickets, but the queue outside had a three hour wait in the cold. A regional bus ride took us to Volendam on the coast. Lots of restaurants, souvenir shops and cheese-making factory made it a worthwhile visit. Again booked on-line for Van Goph Museum, which was a bus and tram ride from hotel, as this was a popular tourist activity. If the play "Anne" (Franks) is still on at the nearby theatre, this is well worth seeing. It is in Dutch language but you can have an English translation on earphones and subtitles on I-pad provided. The stage setting was marvellous.

Loved it! Buffet breakfast, lovely room, friendly staff! Great location and walkable to major landmarks. Free coffee and tea all day is also a plus. The staff was awesome.

1st time to amsterdam, hotel in brilliant spot not too far away from Central - busses every 10 minutes to Central Station which run 24 hours! Lovely staff, room and service. Definitely recommend this hotel, 5/5 for everything! Brilliant.

The hotel is great there rooms were very small and compact but the were very clean and had everything u need

The hotel was easy to find and a great location. It was no more than a 5 minute walk away from the tram stop making it easy to access the centre and dam square. The room was kept clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay
