Reiser til Noordgouwe 2024

I stayed here from July 30th to August 3rd 2016 in a single room. I think I'll start with the bad before I move on to the good. The restaurant was neither cheap or expensive in terms of price. I decided to eat in the city instead. Furthermore, my room was cleaned only every other day. I wish they cleaned it every day instead. This is just my preference however. Now on the good things. The staff there are very helpful and energetic. I came at the middle of the night, but the staff were welcoming despite the late hours. My room was at the fourth floor in the rail house. It was clean, just the right size and had a comfortable bed plus a sleek bathroom. The internet access was great plus that the TV had Dutch, British as well as French TV channels. The hotel was nearly next door to the railway and tram station. This made travelling to the city center or Schipol quite easy. Despite the central location, is was rather quiet. This hotel is definitely for those who want to enjoy Amsterdam, but can't afford fancy hotels. It has quite a lot of character in contrast to some chain hotels I have visited.

Det eneste negative var at musikken i lokalene var for høy.

Stayed three nights in this hotel and it was a straight pleasure from check in to check out. We travelled with a nine month old baby and the hotel staff were helpful in making everything as hassle free as possible. An example would be during check in: while we were checking in the receptionist called housekeeping on her own initiative to make sure the room was prepared for the stay with baby. Usually you have to ask for a cot to be placed in the room but she arranged it based on her own observation. Not a huge deal, but it's the small details that separate the good hotels from the great hotels. The hotel breakfast was also a positive experience. The service and quality was outstanding. We had some of the best dining experiences of our trip with this breakfast buffet. As to location, we used about 10 minutes to walk from the central station to the hotel and from the hotel all of downtown Amsterdam is easily available by foot. We used hop on-of sightseeing busses and boats to reach places like the Banksy exhibition and the van Gogh museum which is not located downtown. We also used the city tram system which was easy, effective and stroller friendly.

Big room, OK standard, everything nice. Centrally located. Check in only after 14. Nice lobby bar.
