Onur United States of America

We stayed in Amsterdam in three different locations and Bitterbal was by far the best one!! Location is great, it's big and comfortable compared to other ones, and the bar downstairs with all the neighborhood is amazing. Totally worth the money and we'll definitely come back to Bitterbal!

Roxana Romania

Check-in was easy, the room #2 was a little larger than others with a sitting area overlooking the street, bed was comfortable, large cable tv, fridge, hot water kettle. Cozy and comfortable. Supermarket and Starbucks across the street, dozens of restaurants within 5 minute walk, tram line stop 2 minute walk. Would stay again.

Christopher Taiwan

Superb location, great area in the inner city. Beautiful room.

Yang Canada

We loved the location of the hotel, it was half way distance from central and half way to the museums. I LOVED that the hotel was just about bar bitterball. The bar atmosphere was amazing and the face that they had a coffeeshop and bar next door made the location even more incredible. highly recommended. I would definitely stay there again.
