to get started.

Great breakfast. Nice renovations over past two years. Totally updated bathrooms and bedrooms. Still no elevator, and a steep stair.

Our stay at the Amistad Hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was all incredibly kind and helpful and the breakfast was great. Our room was very clean, the bathroom was nice, and there was even a small cold box to store some snacks and drinks. The location was excellent - would definitely stay again!

Great staff super friendly and a great breakfast. Bed was very comfortable

United States of America

Lovely hotel, reminded me a bit of a tall, skinny, vertical sailing vessel, with its maritime Delft blue, steep stairs, and round port-hole windows... It was as clean as a whistle, and my room was tiny, tidy, and light & airy, with a spot for everything tucked in like a ship. (Even a Nespresso machine and electric teapot and a shelf above my bed for my nightly cuppa.) Mike was friendly and helpful with city advice & ideas, and even a life-saving adapter when I’d forgotten mine from my own country. He serves a wonderful breakfast with eggs to order and Dutch pancakes, all the continental goodies you’d expect, plus lots of fresh fruit (the watermelon was so sweet!) and coffee.

A super cute hotel within easy reach of most things you’d want to do in Amsterdam. The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable and the hosts are amazing. Don’t come expecting a chain hotel, it’s not. But a warm, friendly and accommodating place to stay? Yes!

The Hotel is very nicely located, expect some street noise though if your room overlooks Kerkstraat. Noise comes from loud and uncivilized people shouting in the middle of the night and from waste collection machines in the early morning.
Mike has been very welcoming and friendly, flexible for a little help I needed. I reccomend this hotel also because you can meet very polite and educated guests. In my case I had a great conversation with a lovely couple from the U.S.

I wish it had a computer center. I had not problem that there was nobody available at the front desk after 4pm because I'm very independent.
The location is amazing. It's right near a tram stop. You're right in the middle of the action. Michael, the host makes a beautiful homemade breakfast to your liking. He is extremely friendly.

The room was too small and one day they forgot to clean it, even so, it was not a serious situation. I would recomend to change the curtain due the ones they have doesn't block very well the ligth from the outside.
The staff were very kind and concern about my experience there. The breakfast is very good, considering that is included in the room price. The bed was very confortable and the room is very functional.

Less officious, cut-and-dried management style, though a lovely and welcoming breakfast chef. Limited hours daily for any staff present at front desk, otherwise empty of staff. Rotating floor fan, but no thermostatic control of air in guest room. Deposit cashed pre-arrival, earlier than authorized by BOOKING.COM.
Great breakfast. Nice renovations over past two years. Totally updated bathrooms and bedrooms. Still no elevator, and a steep stair.
