Great space! The decor is minimal but beautiful and the beds were super comfy. Also, this place is in a great location, just a short walk from everything you could want to do in the city.

Dana

Very well located small hotel. All space is used for rooms which made it less likely to be in contact with reception. They were really flexible when we kept postponing our arrival time until after office hours.

Hotel Dwars was absolutely fantastic! We came for our honeymoon and were greeted by the sweetest decorations and balloons! The hotel was very cute and boutique feeling. Perfect location - very close to everything in the city center and a tram stop just outside. So many shops and restaurants nearby, as well as quaint canal streets for strolling. We loved Amsterdam, and the whole team at Dwars made sure we had a great time while exploring the city. Even carried our heavy luggage upstairs for us after a long day of travel. Thank you!

The location was perfect, it’s away from the crowd and loud but it’s still in the city centre. The staff was super friendly. And the room was cozy.

EVERYTHING! This was right in the center of everything you would want to do.

Hotel Dears was everything we could have asked for and more. Our room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The staff was helpful and courteous. We were surprised to find our room cleaned and the water bottle refilled every day. The location was perfect with a lovely cafe/pub on the Dewars for your next stay in Amsterdam.

The location, experiencing a different type of property, not your usual hotel, but it gives you a totally and great perspective of the way of life there. Beds were comfortable, linens and towels of great quality, same as the pillows. The quality and scent of their toiletries was outstanding! you can even buy them so you can take them back home with you. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

An Inside Look at Hotel Dwars

Hotel Dwars used to be a hostel for many years, young guests loved to stay at the hostel because of the freedom they had and the unique location in the centre, walking distance from all sights but in a quiet side street. In 2012 the new owners decided to change the hostel into a boutique hotel. After a renovation of 1 year Dwars opened its doors in December 2013. The nine rooms are all individually decorated with a mixture of new and vintage furniture which makes each room unique.

A bit pricey for the size of the rooms and the locker system outside to collect the keys if you arrive late are a nightmare to open. And the wifi was flaky
Great location great staff and very clean rooms. Walkable distance to every major attraction in the city. You are right in the middle of Amsterdam city yet away from the craziness. The tram stop is 2 minutes from the hotel

Very well located, in a very nice district. The room was not very spacious but very well decorated, well set-up and pleasant. All the staff members we had the chance to talk with were very nice, willing to help and customer oriented. They also are kids-friendly (they put a baby crib in the room for us, it was perfect).

The only thing that was disturbing was the night noise coming from the stairs, due to the fact that the staircase is so narrow.
Cozy room We stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Dwars. The room was very nicely decorated, as in the pictures, clean and very important, warm. They have heaters which you can set depending on the temperature you want to have in the room. The area was very nice, with small boutiques, lots of restaurants and bars and a supermarket really close.

“Excellent”

The triple rooms are a bit tight for space and watch out for the cyclist, they are everywhere and dont stop for anyone :)
The hotel is tucked away in a peaceful side street within 50 meters of the nearest tram stop (No 4 from central Station). All Amsterdam has to offer is within easy reach and the transport infrastructure is excellent. The hotel itself is great and all the amenities you require. There are several good cafes close by that serve tasty food. The staff are friendly and welcoming. This hotel is in a fantastic location and offers great value for money when compared against other hotels in the area. Well worth a visit and highly recommended, especially for a couple as the triple rooms are a bit tight for space. TY Hotel Dwars.

I booked this hotel for my sons birthday, and the staff couldn’t have done enough for me I asked for a balloon , as some sort of decoration to mark the day , and also ordered a small cake to be delivered however when my son arrived the room had balloons and buntings everywhere .The staff had made a great effort on my behalf , and the cake was delivered from a beautiful cheesecake shop close by . I paid for the cake prior to the visit however the decorations were all the kind work of the Dwars Hotel’s staff . This hotel doesn’t have breakfast facilities but they will direct their visitors to the hidden gems in Amsterdam for great food away from the tourist areas A big thank you to all, and for the prompt replies to my messages
