Perfect location for someone wanting to stay in the middle of the buzz and close to RLD

Jad, Lebanon

I stay at the Old Nickel every time I go through Amsterdam if it's available. The location is easy access and I really enjoy the bar downstairs. The upgrades have been great and it's always clean.

Teresa, United States of America

We stayed on the first floor facing the street. The room was very clean and right in the middle of the city blocks from the red light district. The beds were comfortable. Lots of restaurants close to the hotel.

Betti, United States of America

The location of the hotel is great and at center of things. From it you can walk basically to the main attractions you need. It is also close by very good restaurants. The staff are kind and communicative.

Majd, Israel

Very central location, comfortable and clean rooms

Ieva, Germany

Know that you are paying for location not luxury and you will be satisfied with this hotel. Its got the basics, bed, toilet, shower, locking door. You check-in in the small pub on the ground floors and rooms are a steep staircase or two above. Ideal if you don't mind stairs, looking for a good location and plan to spend most of your time outside of the hotel exploring all that is Amsterdam!

Melinda, United States of America

Best location ever, right next to the red light district but not in it. Tons of restaurants, tattoo parlors and shops. Five minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal - making it easy to get to the hotel from the international trains as well as making it easy to explore further around the city. The room was clean and the bedding was changed daily. Can’t tell you how much we loved the location!

Riley, United States of America

Great location, nice bars and restaurants around. Wondeful staff

Arsenio, Panama

My room was not in the actual hotel, but was down the street. Check in was easy, the gentleman walked me to the building and showed me how to get in. They use rfid cards to get into the building and the room, which worked fine. The room was a good size, with hanging storage for clothing and a place to put your suitcase / back pack / duffel etc. The bathroom was ensuite and worked fine (I had hot water when I needed it, all the facilities worked). The TV worked and the bed was ok (not great, but not uncomfortable). The location was very good (only a 5 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal, canal rides, food, etc).

Shannon, United States of America

The location is very good but quite noisy from the people walk. Good food around, easy to walk to the canal and hang out places.

As soon as you enter the smell is just horrific. Bathroom had a sewage smell so spent the first hour cleaning. Top of ‘wardrobe’ super dusty too! Just not what I expect for the price but you pay for location as it’s 2 mins away from central station. ‘Double beds’ are two single beds pushed together and if you’re really lucky you might get a double mattress. Me and my partner slept pretty much in separate beds.
Location. The cat downstairs Beds comfortable Decent tv Customer service was brilliant when making booking

The owner Frank was rude to us, he kept us waiting 1.5 hrs to check in. The hotel is nothing short of a glorified hostel with a bar attached. 3 beds squashed into a tiny room, almost impossible to walk between beds. No wardrobe & no mirror in room. The flooring in the bar was carpet. While we were there two people vomited on the floor which was cleaned up with tissues. It was disgusting. I would never recommend it
The only good thing about this property was the location and the bar attendant Peter.

Initially a bit difficult to find from the train station but when found, was a great location. Also, the bathroom was an open one so after a shower the bath floor (outside the shower) was quite wet.
The room was quite comfortable and clean, though small. Was great for an overnight stay. We loved the location and proximity to the center city.
