Hotel Plantage  

Excellent value hotel. 15 min walk from Dam Square/Red Light District. 20 min walk from train station. Far from fancy, but kept clean and decent beds. Also own bathroom, and balconies (great for smokers) I'd stay again, bargain!!

Quite location but close to the city center. Loved the big windows. The room was bright and cheerful. Many choices of cafe's in close proximity. Basic but adequate room.

The best thing is the location as it is right in front of the tram station. The room is of acceptable dimensions. There is a safe in the room.

There is no real reception for the Hotel. There are "things" in the room like TV for example and refrigerator. But the TV tooo small and the fridge not working. The cleanness was below my expectation as I even found a used plastic knife on the floor. Bathroom below expectations as there is no bathtub The price is relatively very high for the service

Historical ironing board that does not work

old-fashioned shower

The hotel is next to the zoo and I was amazed to be woken up in the morning by the roaring of a lion!!Just amazing...so different

cheap

dirty duvets and sheets, very very smelly bathroom, unfriendly staff and not very polite. It's not like appear on the pictures at all!!! Requested a smoking room, but they even underlined that mine was a non-smoking room.

I liked Hotel Plantage the first time I visited in Sept '11, so much so that I brought my boyfriend and I to 'Dam for his 21st and decided that for price, location and room size, this hotel is streets ahead of others. The service is basic but great. The rooms are a very decent size, have fully opening windows but are warm and they have smoking rooms available, (handy when in 'Dam!). I managed to book from the day after we actually arrived and the staff couldn't do enough to help, they sorted us out with an upgrade for no-extra cost to ensure we could stay in one room for the whole stay. Thanks again for that!! Great amenities, such as a nearby supermarket, (great for those on a budget) and several cafe-bars extremely close to the hotel (one directly underneath, but we suffered no extraneous noise sources) and as there is no breakfast/dinner or room service available at the hotel this is extremely useful. I love the place and will definitely be going back.

The location was awesome, it had free wi-fi and our stay was cheap but comfortable.

The shower would flood when used and we were given a squeegy mop to mop it up with.

The hotel stuff was very helpful. Wifi worked without problems in my phone. The parking was cheap. We booked "Small Twin Attic Room", but it wasn't that small at all or maybe we got just a better room.

Couldn't use wifi in my laptop, but it wasn't big deal since it worked on iphone.

Very pleasant location - in a clean & silent district, with a good cafe in the building and two steps away from the zoo.

Shower & toilet were not that clean.

An olderman who was at the desk after breakfast on the day we left was polite and very helpful. He offered to make a complaint about the rude young man on night duty.

The man on duty when we arrived (whom we took to be the manager) was superficially friendly, but was scornful of my wife's request that someone might help us carry our heavy bags up the very steep stairs to that attic room which was the only one we'd been able to book. Before breakfast on the day we we were due to leave, I took our luggage to the storage space beside the office and was shouted at by the night clerk. I have never been addressed so rudely when a guest in a hotel.

Hotel Plantage was clean and comfortable and ideal area for a short stay in Amsterdam. The Manager was very nice and helpfull. The Hotel was close to Amsterdam Centre, Tram stops,had several bars and eating places nearby and just across the road from Amsterdam Zoo which I must say, much to my suprise was fantastic, The animals are very well looked after and the zoo is set in botanical gardens, spent a full day there and still did not see it all.

I appreciated the location of Hotel Plantage. It was very easy to get to from the airport.The staff were very friendly and willing to answer any questions about travel, transportation and fun places to go. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
