Hotels near Rijpenhofje in Amsterdam

Staff was friendly and the location is unbeatable, but I don’t think I’d recommend this place to anyone unless your only desire is to take things from the “coffeeshops” to your room’s balcony; the rooms are old and dirty, and the bathroom is small and also smelly (like matches?). The floor was dusty and full of dead bugs, and the window didn’t close properly. Also, there is no elevator in the hotel.

NO ELEVATOR, STEEP STAIRS! The people at reception were nice. I left my iPad by accident after checking out, called to see if housekeeping found it and someone from reception brought it down to me so I wouldn’t have to go up the stairs again, which I appreciated a lot. Room was tiny - enough room to walk in & leave a suitcase, then the bed took up the majority of the room, which I personally liked. Bathroom is odd - toilet at one end, sink in middle, and shower on other end without a curtain or anything, it’s just the shower head with a drain on the floor. Wouldn’t go to this hotel again for the stairs alone, otherwise (if you don’t mind steep stairs) it is a nice place to stay and in a good location.

The Melrose is perfectly located for a visit to Amsterdam especially if you want to walk. You can easily walk to the Dam, the various shopping areas and the museum district, and you are right beside the boutique 9 streets shopping area. The Leidestraat restaurant area is also an easy walk There are heaps of cafes and food places within a block in any direction.. The rooms are small but not uncomfortable. We would certainly go back.

The room was well furnished, the bed was reasonably comfortable (although we had to both ask for another pillow as they were quite flat). The bathroom was huge - and they provided you with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc. and a hairdryer. The room was tidy and kept clean each day, (although sometimes not fully restocked - for example not enough tea bags/toiletries refreshed!). It had a Nespresso machine (although instructions would be handy as it took us a while to sort boiling water out!) The location was close to a few supermarkets - one next door, (handy since you have a fridge in your room), a few cafes, a bar and a few places to eat. Its a 2minute walk from a tram/bus stop which took you into the centre in 15-20 minutes. They also had bike hire there for a reasonable price, so you could use that to get into the centre. The staff were friendly and I would highly recommend for the price!

It had all the basic amenities needed. It’s a simple hotel to sleep and travel easily via metro. It has a 24/7 pizza machine at reception so don’t worry about getting hungry! The only thing I really did not like was the high pillows so if you’ve got a sensitive neck for sleep then I don’t recommend.

Amsterdam hotels are known to be very expensive, especially at key times of the year, so trying to find something of value, and comfort is always a big ask. The NL Hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the centre of the city and is a converted house. The space has been very well utilized, however it has some of the steepest stairs I have ever experienced! Not a problem for me, but could be a challenge for others. It does have an elevator you can use with your bags, but it's big enough for one person. My room was very small. Surprisingly, the bathroom was a decent size. The main benefit here is that you have your own air conditioning unit in the room which was very welcome. There's a Nespresso machine, however, just two pods per day is your limit! There's also a wall mounted TV and a small wardrobe. However in my room there was nowhere to sit apart from the bed. There is a panel on the wall that you can select whether you want your room made up or not, which is very, very bright at night, and be warned the stairs from the ground floor to the first are incredibly noisy, so if you are in a first floor room, you will hear plenty of noise from people coming up the stairs. Now I know why complimentary ear plugs are provided. Fresh towels are provided daily if you want them which was a bonus.

Excellent location to anywhere you want to go in Amsterdam. If you’re mainly planning on using the room as a place of rest then it is perfect based upon its location. We were in a small double and it is small. We were using the room as a place to rest and sleep which meant that the room suited us. However you can’t open the bathroom door fully because it hits the bed so that should give an idea of how small the room is. Not necessarily a negative for us but may be for others. We had a pleasant stay for 3 nights with friendly staff but sleep was restless due to thin walls and outside noise. Staff were very accommodating at check in and check out for looking after our bags whilst we wondered around the local area before accessing our rooms and heading for our flight.

Location is in downtown area, close to clubs and restaurants and ******. You will surely stay in this hotel if you want to have more fun in Amsterdam.

Friendly staff, quick check in and if you book via a third party you pay taxes it's not much to be honest. Rooms are constantly being cleaned, big kitchen to do some cooking. There's a shop behind 5minutes away. Big community area and plenty of activities to engage in. It'd a ferry away from Centraal train station which is convenient

It is ideally located within 1 km of Amsterdam Dam Square. There are GVBs on the 2nd and 12th lines at the door, and there is a train every 3 minutes or so. Take the 2nd and 12th roads to Amsterdam Central Station and take the INTERCITY train to all parts of the Netherlands. Because it is the core area of Amsterdam, the price is relatively expensive. Hotel facilities are old, but fortunately this time is around June, there is no air conditioning in the room, I don't know if I can still treat people in the summer. . . There is no elevator in the hotel, and it is very difficult to carry large luggage. There is no electric kettle in the room. If you need to drink hot water, you have to go to the building. The front desk staff will use the key to turn on the water heater to get hot water. In general, apart from the high prices, others are not ideal. . .
