Independent, Dam Square - Central Station Hotels

Absolutely no complaints! Would definitely stay again!

The hotel was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel it about a 3 minute walk from Amaterdam Centraal and a 5 minute walk from Dam Square. There are 5 resturaunts outside the hotel doors, all of which have outdoor seating. We walked everywhere as we were in the heart of Amsterdam. When we checked out they offered to look after our bags for the day free of charge so we didn't have to cart them around Amsterdam. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

The hotel was clean and nice, but lacked some amenities. For example, my room did not have a wardrobe and that was fine because i was only there for 3 nights, but if i was staying for longer it would have been horrible living out of a suitcase. It's also annoying that there's no room service option. It annoyed me that the shower was not separate from the toilet - it's hard to explain, but there's no shower cubicle, so the water from the shower will splash onto the toilet seat for instance. however, i think this might be part of dutch culture as i've stayed in other places that have the same set up. The only thing that I really hated were the church bells ringing every hour, but i fully understand they can't do anything about that.

Great clean hotel within walking distance to everything. Staff is very professional and knowledgeable. Great value for price. Real clean room

The Avenue Hotel is only a short walk [5 minutes /-] from Amsterdam Central Railway station. What's more it's just off the City Centre Dam Square/Damrak and most convienant for the trams, which can make it a little noisy on ocassion [in the rush hour] and they go everywhere, pretty well all the attractions are a short ride away and equally they convienantly start from outside Central Station. So it would be advisable if your planning a few days in Amsterdam to buy a "tram/bus pass" which range from around 7 euros for a day to 21 for 4 days. There are a couple of signs in the tram station that list the main attractions and the numbers of the trams needed to get there.

Great location, friendly helpful staff. Rooms spotless and couldn't fault, continetal breakfast really good! Would defiantly return and recommend this hotel!

This hotel is nothing fancy and there were a few issues with certain facilities, Eg TV was a little fuzzy in room and limited alcohol in bar. However, the staff would do anything in their power to get you what you want to make you more comfortable. They were all friendly, helpful with info on getting around amsterdam and made us feel at home and at ease. Being honest, it's a beautiful old building and staff were happy for you to bring your own groceries and use their fridge providing plates, glasses and cutlery and washing up after us. If you like perfection then book a chain hotel. This hotel may not have it all, but it made my holiday a little more interesting. Excellent service, well done guys!

Great roomy apartment. One single master bedroom with a queen sized bed and one sofa couch (sleeps two but will be a tight fit). Towels and sheets (fresh out of the box) were provided. Owner of the apartment met us and was extremely polite and helpful. He was considerate and flexible as to when we arrived and when we planned on leaving. There is no "staff" and therefore no room cleaning since you are renting an apartment. Great location in the enter of town and easily accessible to the train station. Our apartment was above a bar so maybe it is not the best solution for family's with young children. Can hear music from the bar until about 1 am on week days and up to 3:30 am on weekends. Music not terribly loud but audible. Didn't stop us from sleeping and we greatly appreciated the bar being open almost 24/7 because it made us feel more secured and the bartenders were almost like the staff. They were extremely helpful and a couple even ate dinner with us and told us stories about the town. Overall a perfect experience and wonderful place to stay. Did have to pay cash up front but the owner gave a receipt so all went well. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good local place to stay at a good price and who wants their privacy and not bother with hotel cleaning people and other nonsense. Oh and the apartment comes equipped with a kitchen so meals may be prepared there.

This hotel does exactly what it says on the tin, it's cheap and cheerfull... It's about 5 minutes walk from Central Station and Dam Square... and all the coffee shops. The rooms were very basic but the beds were cleaned every day and were comfortable, the towels were also changed every day and the room had an on suite shower and toilet (bouns at this price). For the price I have never stayed in a better budget hotel in Amsterdam and this was my 13th trip :-)

Amazing bang in the middle of the red light district and is quality for the price
