Hotel De Gerstekorrel

central location

single, not double beds. pokey rooms, dirty floors

The reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The location was very central in Amsterdam. The room and facilities were very basic but that is what we had expected given the central location but relatively cheap price.

Hotel is about 100 meters from the central square

Window in the room cannot be wide open.

Good location.

Old and run down with very steep and narrow stairs.

Not bothered in room by cleaning staff etc

Not your fault, but the steep stairs to the 4th floor were a killer to someone not used to mountaineering.

The reception staff were freindly,and the location of was good.

The bedrooms are of a very poor quality,the beds are not good. Acces to the bedrooms are by a very steep stairs. There is not frontage bar the entrance hall(not a lobby),space here is at a premium.Some of the bedrooms are house in another building up the street.

Great location if you like to be in the center of it all - its just steps from Dam Square. The staff were very very nice!

If you like a quite street, this is not your hotel. Our room was quite hot, so if you don't like that you may want to pass on this as well.

Great location-walking distance to all major attractions in Amsterdam.

I have older children, so the marijuana air wasn't something I had to explain, but it might not be a good choice for a family with younger children. The steep stairs are to be expected in Amsterdam, but it makes luggage toting a little difficult.

The location of this hotel was fabulous. The staff were very friendly and spoke impeccable English.

The room was very hot, the window did not open very far, and the one small fan provided didn't make any difference to the stifling heat of the room. However, when we asked around, we were told that the heatwave was extremely unusual for Amsterdam and this is why the hotel was not prepared.

Location and cleanliness

No shampoo provided.

The hotel is an incredible place in the heart of Amsterdam. Absence of a restaurant bring you breakfast room between 7 and 10 AM, which is great. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Each morning with breakfast bring you a note, which says what will the weather today and what will be tomorrow. In the room there was a place for clothes and was clean. Breakfast includes fresh juice, coffee, bread, cheese, butter and jam. At next visit to Amsterdam I'll sleep in this hotel again.

The hotel has two parts, which are located in 50 meters of a street. We are registering an address of a hotel was elsewhere. Sorry, no free internet, unlike the majority of the hotel, but could sit on the stairs in the reception and use the internet with my laptop. The room was 51 and every morning from 8 o'clock in the morning just beat us the building, which was accompanied with a loud noise.

The location right on the Dam, walking to Central Station and totally central to everything was the best part.

Room 25 was way too small for two tall adults with only 2 large pieces of luggage. Not enough room for us to pass each other on two sides of the bed and around desk. One of us had to climb into the bed every time from the foot.

Central location, nice staff, perfect value for money

Breakfast could be somehow better although if you consider the other pluses, it's ok
