Hotels near Statue of Queen Wilhelmina

"Having read mixed reviews, I was apprehensive. The location is fantastic, an easy walk from the station and you can walk any where. Check-in was relatively quick. We were told they had only one room for us, even though our booking clearly showed we had booked two. This was quickly sorted. The lift was working, which was good as the stairs are narrow and steep and reviews had mentioned it being broken. The room itself (on floor 2) was very compact, which we expected - just enough room to walk around the bed and the bathroom door did not fully open because there was not enough room. However, we stayed three nights and it was fine. We had a window which opened into a narrow alley so the room was dark. There is a TV but only a couple of channels work and it seemed pointless. No other room amenities supplied. The room was clean as were the bedsheets. The mattress could probably do with replacing, but it was OK. During our stay, we had new towels delivered but our room was never cleaned even though our friends room next door was. When they provided new towels, they removed one of the key cards from the room and also left the heating on 30° so when we came back to the room in the evening, it was absolutely roasting. Some guests also decided that the ‘no smoking in your rooms’ rule did not apply to them on one evening and as a result the fire alarm was triggered and this was a bit chaotic with very little information from the staff. For a basic base, this is a good budget choice."

"Great location when your plan is move around AMS nearby cities"

"Lovely hotel right on a canal. Centrally located. (Former private mansion canal house.) Walk to Rembrandtplein square and tram stop. Walk to Rokin Metro. Easy to reach central station. Many coffee and dining places in the area. "

"Excellent front desk staff, helped resolve a booking problem quickly. Enjoyed the stay very much!"

"The room was comfortable. It was facing an apartment building and the alley below was noisy at times during sleeping hours. The apartments directly across from us smoked cigarettes and we could smell it in our room at times. "

"Overall good value, great location, helpful staff, a nice experience"

"We were there for one night. The room was really comfortable and clean. The staff was excellent and helpful. We enjoyed the herbal water and noticed they had lots of umbrellas if we had needed them. Location was great - we took the tram from the train station. Walkable to everything we wanted to see and do. We did not eat at the hotel but the breakfast looked amazing "

"The primary plus of this hotel is its location, about 70 meters from the entrance to the Amsterdam Centraal train station. This was important to us, because our days were spent on day trips to Haarlem and The Hague via train. So it was a REALLY convenient location! And despite that central location, including proximity to stations for many of the (quite noisy!) trolleys and the "Lovers" canal tours, the rooms are incredibly well insulated from external noise! However, the INTERNAL walls are paper-thin: we could easily hear discussions and coughing in the room adjacent to ours. The bed was very comfortable, but the room around that bed was severely limited. The staff members were wonderful about facilitating check-in and helping us store our luggage before check-in time and after check-out. They spoke flawless English. We didn't avail ourselves of the restaurant or the breakfast, instead walking across the bridge to have breakfast at one of the many restaurants a short walk away, and there are more in the (quite large) train station, another benefit of the central location."
