Canal Belt

A bit wary cos of the previous comments about the carpets. There was a funny smell but I think that was cos they had tried to clean the carpets. Ours was ok. The smell soon disappeared. Breakfast is 15euros. Book it at reception the day before and you get 2euros 50 off. Staff very helpful. We were there 3 nights and had a towel change daily. We would definately come back here again.

freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal; im Großen und Ganzen sehr sauber; wenn wir etwas benötigt haben, wurde es binnen 10 min. für uns erledigt; ziemlich zentral gelegen, haben die Stadt zu Fuß erkundet; auch Anschluss zum Flughafen mit Bus (nur 5 min. zum Leidseplein zu Fuß); für den nächsten Amsterdam Trip würde ich auf alle Fälle wieder dieses Hotel buchen; hatten Zimmer im ersten Stock zur Straßenseite gelegen, dadurch etwas lauter. Frühstück wäre kostenpflichtig gewesen, sind aber Cafés in der Nähe.

There isn't much to complain about with this hotel. The staff was friendly, room was spacious and comfortable, and the location is really convenient. One of the few minor complaints I have is that the 30-minute vouchers for use of wifi in the lobby is a bit annoying, considering that there are a ton of cafes sporting free wifi all over the city. All in all, it was a very nice stay.

Personal nicht immer kooperativ. Keine Sicht aus dem Fenster: Grund: die Aussenseite der Fenster war mit Tüchern verhangen. Dadurch konnten wir nicht aus dem Fenster schauen, war nicht schön!! TV ohne Deutsche Sender. Das Bad war sehr schön, jedoch die Brause in der Dusche sehr schwach.

Lage des Hotels, Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft des Personals hat uns sehr überzeugt.

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, direkt bei einer Tramstation. Es ist auch für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern im Zimmer gut geeinet. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und auch die Größe ist o.k. Ideales Hotel für Städtetrip.

Very unique and clean rooms in a really great location, just 10 minutes from the City Center by Train. Great in-house restaurant, with really great service.

I was going to a conference at the RAI convention center, and the hotel was located right along one of the tram route that was only 3 stops away from Central Station, so getting to the RAI was quite easy. Also the hotel's locale was in a more residential area of Amserdam, which was nice, I got to experience more of what it's like for the people that live there, and less of just a view of a really touristy area.

Overall I wasn't disappointed at all. My first room I was a little unhappy due to my height and this particular room, though it was very quaint and comfortable it was tough, but after voicing my minor complaint they switched up my room and I actually ended up with an upgrade right away. The AM breakfast is very tasty and has a good variety of foods to appease most palettes, though I would like to add that it is charged to your room, though I don't think the pricing is posted or made clear unless asked, just fair warning, but I felt it was of value. The club was also entertaining, just make sure to talk to the hosts during the day to get on the list. Buy a tram pass from the host and don't forget to tap on and off the tram ;-)

Very nice place. Little bit far from center, but queit. Outstanding bed & pillow !

while we werent at the hotel long cause we were only in amsterdam for one night, this hotel is perfect for a great night. not far from anywhere you would like to be, and the room and bed were amazing! id def stay here again.

We have been to the Pulitzer three times now. We love the location of the hotel because it's in a beautiful residential area but many of the "tourist" attractions are within a reasonable walk. And you can always take a short walk to catch a tram if you want to travel farther. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and do whatever they can to make your stay pleasant. I have only two criticisms. First, they charge a lot for wi-fi. But they do have two computers available in the lobby that are free and are usually available. Second, the service in the restaurant is very slow by US standards. Especially after you've been served. We've eaten there twice and felt the same way both times. Other than that, we highly recommend this hotel.

Located by Rijksmuseum ,Van Gogh museum and Leidseplein. On canal.

The hotel upgraded our room to an executive suite which was really nice. We were on the same side as the busy street and canal but did think was noise was too bad. Just behind the hotel are all the museums. It was a short tram ride to the Anne Frank house and red light district.

You cant get a better location, nothing was more then a 15 minute walk away and there is a lot to do right there in the Leidseplien square. The hotel staff was friendly and ready to help- but help was not needed. The rooms were kept very clean and the furnishings were newer, the building was well maintained and had a steam room and a gym. public transportation- bus train and canal boat- all stop right outside the hotel. Showers were hot and had pressure. Did not have a great view- window looked over an interior roof area. No microwave in the room, there was a hot pot for tea or instant coffee that worked great. I did not try room service.

My wife and I had a great stay at this hotel. It's location is central to all of the things a tourist would want to see. There are cafes, shops, coffee shops, a mall, The Van Gogh museum and Rijks museum just a short walk away. A ten minute ride on the trolly will get you to Central Station in the city center. This will be where I stay the next time I visit Amsterdam.

Mit der Lage waren wir sehr zufrieden, schnelle Straßenbahnanbindung zu allen wichtigen Orten. Wir hatten Zimmer Nr. 410 (4. Stock mit Lift) mit Aussicht auf einen kleinen Park. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, man hört die direkten Nachbarn sprechen und die Zimmertüren schließen sehr laut. Außerdem gibts einen kleinen Spalt rund um die Tür, durch den Licht und Lärm vom Gang ins Zimmer kommt. Die Straßenbahn, die vor dem Hotel vorbei fährt, hört man natürlich auch. In der Nacht ist es aber ruhig, wir haben gut geschlafen. Das Zimmer war sehr eng, aber für 4 Nächte ausreichend. Das Bad war auch winzig, aber es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Vor allem war das Bad immer sehr sauber und wir bekamen jeden Tag frische Handtücher. Die Betten waren 2 zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten mit Federkernmatratzen (leider spürbar). Waren aber trotzdem bequem und sauber. Die Fenster sind nur kippbar, da wir aber im März gereist sind und es nicht allzu warm war, war das kein Problem. Ein kleiner Mangel war der Teppich, er gehört dringend erneuert (sehr ausgetreten) und öfter gestaubsaugt. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die kleine Teeküche mit Wasserkocher. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt, es gibt eine gute Auswahl an Frühstückslokalen direkt beim Hotel. Weil wir keine Kreditkarte mit hatten, mussten wir beim einchecken 50€ hinterlegen, und am letzten Tag mussten wir noch eine Steuer bezahlen, die ca. 10€ ausmachte. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt, und wir würden wieder kommen.

Das Zimmer war für 2 Personen genau richtig, etwas unangenehm war die Tatsache, dass es kein Doppelbett gab sondern zwei zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten ansonsten war die Lage perfekt und im Großem und Ganzen ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt ich würde wieder in diesem Hotel einchecken!

I have used this hotel a number of times. The location on Rembrantplein is excellent. Good quality room. I particularly like the rooms on the higher floors facing the Amstel - which are also quieter.

NH Caransa Hotel couldn't be better located than in the centrum of Amsterdam. With a room where we could have a nice view of the Rembrandtplein made it even better. Right in the center it was easy to get to anywhere. View minutes walk to The Dam Square. With Tram 9 right in front of the hotel you could get to Amsterdam central station where it could take you to anywhere in Holland. we caught the train to and from schiphol airport. We had a pleasant week and are looking forward to go again anytime soon.Only we regret the airport parking in Newark. [...]

A mixed bag. Plus: Very comfortable bed. Room large by Amsterdam standards. Location away from city center,but easy to get to the center by tram or bus, takes maybe 10 minutes to get to all the action. Great reception staff. Minus: Air conditioning not available-room was very hot due to unusually warm weather that week. Hotel is adjacent to a public park-from 1am-3:30am one evening there was a huge and extremely loud dance party going on there. It kept me awake even though I was seven stories up! Therefore ask for a room facing the street-NEVER the park side.

Pas de climatisation dans les chambres ! Une chaleur étouffante (+ 30°) alors que la température extérieure ne dépassait pas 24° ! Bref, une vraie fournaise. Les petits déjeuners ne sont pas compris dans le prix ni le parking qui est facturé 20 euros par jour, ce qui est franchement excessif. Une adresse à éviter.

L'hotel a un emplacement idéal pour visiter Amsterdam. Très belle déco au niveau du hall d'entée et de la chambre, mais, concernant la salle de bain, elle mériterait d'être refaite car style "vieillot" ! Ce qui est très appréciable c'est la cafetière dans la chambre....

Hotel was great for the price. Room was clean, bed was nice, hotel restaurant was overpriced for breakfast.

This is just a classic hotel in the 5 star category. The architecture & Lobby are world class beautiful. The service overall is fantastic & very friendly. The concierge was a little difficult to get into proper action, but everybody else was A ++. Great cozy bar downstairs, great food, and awesome wait staff. The bed was a B-, but otherwise the room was totally gorgeous & well cleaned daily. Could use a little upgrade as far as the mattresses. Anyway, I'll still give this place a strong A and I could live there in a suite no problem !

Beautiful hotel right on the water. Staff was outstanding. Out room was a picture with a two tiered effect. We had dinner at their fine dining restaurant and it was marvelous.

The staff at the hotel were so friendly! they helped us from check in right through out our trip until chek out!. The location is perfect and you seconds away from the famous flower market, really great cafes and near center locations!. Rooms were clean and all we needed was in the room. A*

We arrived in the evening and were welcomed by a sweet young lady who when she saw our reservation for six nights instantly decided to give us an upgrade with 'A VIEW". Room #532 was great. Looking out over Munt square and being serenaded by the Munt tower!! It can be noisy out there but we never had any trouble sleeping . One (in our opinion)drawback; you can not use the refrigerator.It's stocked in such a way that nothing can be changed so you can put your own stuff in it. Not a big problem. Everything else is close by, restaurants etc. We enjoyed our stay.

We arrived having paid for an economy room and it was just that, economy box room. The lift was out of order & my partner recently had a knee op & there were 3 flights of steep stairs which would have made this very difficult. The following day they moved us to ground floor in a standard room which was a great improvement. A view of the canal. Rooms are kept very clean. Shower is amazing. Breakfast was good. Great location. Overall good value for money. Thankyou for upgrading our room! Much appreciated. Staff could be a little friendlier/welcoming but I guestt they are also busy

The Falcon Plaza Center Hotel isn't anything spectacular: an older, smaller, building in an older, smaller, neighborhood of Amsterdam. It is, however, clean, and friendly, and the breakfast (if included, as it sometimes is) is a good deal and quite decent in and of itself. For the price, a great location, and a good deal.

The hotel location was great it was close to most of the shopping and site seeing area. I really enjoyed it. The only thing that needs some improving is the size of the room. We had a double room and we had two twin beds that were smaller then the average twin beds. Other then that everything was GREAT!!!!!!!

We arrived early but didn't have to wait long for our Stylish Corner room to be ready. The room was clean and hip! The free Wifi that we used from the hotel was sum what unreliable though. The location is good because it's just seemed to be in a perfect Location. It's very close to the Tram which will take to The Dam Square in 5 minutes or just walk to anywhere else. We rented a hotel bike for 24hrs for 15 euros and we went easily exploring all the differant areas. There is a Grocery store just down the main street also food and 2 Smoke or Coffee shops if your into that!

Hotel lived up to its expectations. Descriptions were accurate. We loved the ability to open a window and get fresh air! It's not as close as other hotels to the city center, but if you like walking or riding bikes, this place is perfect!

The all-inclusive feature (breakfast, snacks, drinks) of this hotel made it a splurge, but it really enhanced our stay. Central sights were all within a reasonable walk and the staff was friendly and more than willing to assist with suggestions, directions, dinner reservations, etc.

The hotel was very nice and clean, free breakfast in the morning was very fresh. I only wish the front doors were not locked after dark or someone was constantly at the front desk to open them. The location was great as well.

It was a great location and you could walk to bars, restaurants and felt safe.

der Hotelraum war permanent unterkühlt, die Aircondition konnte nicht abgestellt werden, ein Fenster war nicht zu öffnen. der permanente Luftzug, dadurch bedingt, war unangenehm. der Teppich war sauber, aber sehr fleckig durch Verschütten von Flüssigkeiten. eine raumteilende Wand war leicht schmutzig, Farbe blätterte ab. das kenne ich von keinem 4Sterne Hotel. der Hotelgast

Wir waren Anfang April 2012 dort. Zu dem Zeitpunkt wurde gerade die Fassade erneuert, was Baulärm ab 7.30 Uhr morgens bedeutete. Die Zimmer sind zudem sehr hellhörig. Die Lage ist dagegen sehr zentrumsnah und das Café/Restaurant im Erdegeschoss TOP.

The hotel was just ok. Twin beds so don't expect to cuddle. Small rooms and the bathroom left a lot to be desired, like a separation from the shower to the toilet so that the water did not just run into the rest of the bathroom. But if you are in Amsterdam, the LAST thing you do is spend time in your hotel room so it suited that purposed - just sleeping. a bit loud with the trolley so bring ear plugs.

Everything went as it should have. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Very friendly staff and a great location to all attractions.

The good thing about this hotel is they do offer smoking rooms. But you must request it. We were on the second floor. The stairs are steep and winding just like all of Amsterdam. The front desk was always cheerful and helpful. It is in a great location. There is a day market right around the corner and a grocery store less than a block away. I would advise going to Albert Heijn (grocery store) to get drinks and snacks it's A LOT cheaper than the vending machines. It is located on the edge of everything. But the walk is not that long. If you get the chance try a kroket from the fried place around the corner. You'll love it!

Well I switched over from this shabby tiny hotel called De Gerstekorrel Hotel Amsterdam (sucked). This one was much better. The stairwells are ridiculously steep so this wouldn't be great for old people or people with really heavy bags (unless you request a bottom floor). The room was pretty large (huge relative to the other hotel). Its a few minute walk from the Heineken Experience and no more than 5-10 minutes to the center area. Maybe 15min walk to Central Station. The breakfast was pretty good. The street outside was pretty busy and sounded really loud in the morning but this hotel was awesome compared to the one I went to the night before.
