Hotel De Gerstekorrel

low cost

the room was small but didnt expect much moor, it has perfect location, very very nice staff.

We did not stay in the main hotel but in the annex. The room was filthy dirty and tiny. This would have been fine if we had paid £30, however we paid £100 per night to stay in a hole, the hotel was also covered in scaffolding which we were not told about.

The location

Right in the centre of Amsterdam 1minute from trams 1 minute from shops etc Friendly Staff

A mouse in our room..briefly... lots of food places nearby we were only on the first floor... so maybe it got lost!

Great location in the centre of Amsterdam, just off Dam square. The twin beds and bedding were very clean and comfortable and the desk is staffed 24 hours. In other words, at a good price, perfect for my one evening/night visit to the city.

I mark down the room itself because it was not a non-smoking room and the consequent effects were most definitely noticeable (and not just by the presence of an ashtray on the bedside table)! I must add that I did not request non-smoking or to change to an alternative room, so it does not affect my recommendation of the hotel, and I would stay there again myself. Standard warning notice for Amsterdam establishments: expect steep, narrow and winding staircases. Caution required for those with child-sized legs or adult-sized feet (or both!) and/or family-sized luggage.

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.
