2-Star Hotels in Amsterdam

This is honestly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was perfect — the cleanliness, the decoration, and the overall atmosphere. What made this place truly special is the staff. Every single person I met was incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely warm. You can really feel that they care, and it makes all the difference. The luggage storage service before check-in and after check-out is very convenient and included, which is a big plus. They even offer free coffee, snacks, drinks and more, which is amazing. And the breakfast is incredibly good and very varied — honestly one of the best I’ve had. I would definitely come back if I return to Amsterdam. I can’t thank them enough. And also the staff speak multiple languages, which makes communication very easy. If you’re still hesitating, just go for it! This place deserves 10 stars, not 5.

The staff - mainly Thais, Victoria, Stella and the Haitian young lady - made this a comfortable, enjoyable stay despite feeling occasionally cramped. Their adroit skill in whipping up breakfast, tea, coffee etc. while seamlessly checking hostellers in and out are to be commended. Conveniently, the hostel is close to two tram lines and multiple dining options, cafes and even an ice cream parlor. Walking to VondelPark became a daily routine while visiting museums, sightseeing. Although I didn't get to it this time around, taking a canal cruise seems like something I would return for.

Very nice and clean hostel. The reception staff were very friendly. We booked at the last minute and did not expect such a good quality room, but everything was even better than we thought. The hostel is near the ****************** and under a big bar, but it was not too noisy. Most importantly, there was no ******** smell in the room. The bathroom and toilets were also very clean. Highly recommended.

I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Amsterdam and had a very positive experience. The location is excellent, convenient for reaching the city center and main attractions both on foot and by public transport. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-furnished, with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and professional. The breakfast was also excellent, with a good variety of fresh and quality products. I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Amsterdam and looking for comfortable and well-organized accommodation.

The location is fantastic, just a few hundred meters from Central Station. You simply walk straight down the main road for a few minutes and you're there. The only thing is the entrance is a bit hidden, and the front desk is on the second floor. They offer complimentary self-service coffee, tea, and hot water, which is a rare find! The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming. We arrived early and our room wasn't ready, but he kindly let us store our luggage in a cabinet in the room so we could head out and explore unburdened. The room itself is quite small, and the stairs are narrow, which could be a challenge if you have large suitcases. Downstairs, there's a highly-rated fries place, a popular spot since 2018, and it's still there with a line every day – definitely worth trying, it's really good! This time, we also happened to catch a parade, which was an interesting experience; even the front desk staff came down to watch the excitement! Lastly, about the weather: it hailed in May, which was unexpected, but it wasn't cold inside at all! When traveling, cleanliness and safety are paramount, and the convenient location meant we spent most of our days out exploring. Oh, and it's only about 500 meters from ***, so it was super convenient to watch the festivities! Haha!

Convenient location as it is close to the central station (5-minute walking). Friendly staff and clean room. It was rather noisy at night as there are restaurants and bars nearby. No elevator so it is hard to carry large luggage upstairs (stairs are narrow by the way).

There were some inconveniences, like the electricity not working at times and the shower door being incomplete, causing water to spill out. I was told there would be a hairdryer in the room, but there wasn't one. On the positive side, the staff were kind and helpful.

The location is spectacular, and the room itself was fine. The downsides: As I'd seen in other comments, the stairs are very steep. The room they gave me didn't have a double bed; it was two small beds pushed together, which was a bit uncomfortable for a couple. Also, the noise from outside is very loud. I was able to sleep, but if you're someone who struggles to fall asleep, I wouldn't recommend it because you can hear everything, and there are kids screaming outside at all hours of the night. The hotel reception was good.

The location is good, quite close to Amsterdam station and the city center. To enter the hotel, you have to go to the reception of the hotel next door and have them open the door for you, which is a bit of a hassle, but the location is good and the room is just up the stairs, so overall it is convenient. The toilet and shower are shared outside the room, but there is a sink in the room.

The staff are very friendly and the location is excellent, there is a bus to the airport 397, and there is a tram to the train station, supermarket and restaurant opposite.
