Lloyd Hotel  

We loved the quirkyness and design features as well as the location. The breakfast was lovely and the simple evening meal we had was good. It's difficult to say whether the Hotel was good value as we didn't stay anywhere else but it definitely wasn't a rip off but also wasn't cheap. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Amsterdam for another mini break hopefully in the next couple of years.

I burned myself on the hot water system for making tea and coffee. It was tricky to work and unpredictable. Although I thought it was a good idea to have communal tea and coffee making facilities so people mixed; I would have them on every floor as they are only on even floors and we were on the 5th floor so it was a bit of a trek to get tea to have it in bed, and ideally in 3* and above I would have tea making facilities in the rooms. Maybe that's because I'm British. We didn't actually meet anyone because there was communal tea and coffee stations!

I made the booking by creditcard for a close friend of mine due to his stay in Hamburg at that time. I wanted the hotel to use my creditcard to pay for my friend, they simply refused unless I would go there in person, absolutely insane, I will never book this hotel anymore!!

The hotel is nice, at first I didn't like the idea of the shared bathroom but then I didn't mind having a shared bathroom since it is very clean and not far from my room. The hotel is very nice and has a nice design.

There is only one thing that bothered me, I asked the reception to pay in cash when I checked in, because using my credit card is too expensive over seas. They told me when I check out I can pay in cash. Instead when I checked out they told me sorry we already used your credit card and I was shocked.

We prepaid the room 4months ago and when we arrived they charged us from a card half of the price of the room as evidence.and every day they gave us of 50euros a day until we checked out. And the shower was in the bedroom and the toilet alone on a second room!

The cherishing of history and culture

No guidance for getting the hotwater out of the hotwaterpoint...trivial problem though

The room had view over the water, and the tram drives right in front of the hotel into the city center. There is a free exhibition in the building and the staff is friendly.

People have to be prepared for "alternative room decor". We had a large semi-empty room, with an open shower in the middle - no shower curtain or other things (=water everywhere and no privacy, luckily we were a couple)! We had no hooks for towels. No matter if you pay for 1 or 5 star room, you wait in line at the same busy reception (no difference in service).

Location - museum of history.

Expensive - no coffee facilties - no fridge/bar - no hairdryer - old tv that did not work very well and had incorrect channels programmed (according to hotel literature) - extra charges (breakfast and city tax) seemed mean considering I paid almost 200 Euros for one night!Reception a bit gloomy and institutional - also very small.

Location to the tram and the use of space

Location, cost, design, friendly staff

Objects left in corridors which should be in storage - rolled up carpets, cardboard boxes, parts of artworks, etc. Carpet in the entrance hall should have been secured to the floor

I really loved the hotel. It's history and design/art orientation make it a really cool place to stay, with things to do and see inside even when the weather outside is bad. It is also centrally located and easy to get around.

the rooms are great and so is the staff aswell as the food.

there wasn't anywhere to throw away the trash in our room. the bathroom was too cold and no place to store food and drinks, like a minibar.

The room was beside the 2nd floor entrance to the function area which had a pop-up market - extremely noisy at times. The room door could have been more sound-proof.
