Nicely situated in the heart of Amsterdam

We stayed at Chic & Basic to celebrate the last Queensday, so the location was perfect. We got a room overviewing the canal which let us watch some of the festivities from our room. Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment: only toast and marmelade.

The space is ok for us, the room is clean, not bad. However it needs walk 10 mins to train station and not easy to find.The price looks expensive , I think maybe so many tours during easter holidays

This hotel is good from service to the cleaness except they do not have lift. (a burden to those carring large luggage)Location of the hotel is good, walking distance to restaurant & pubs within 10 mins.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: Neary to Red Light District and China Town

Clean, big rooms.

Our room was very nice but the bathroom was abit strange. It was just in the downstairs area of the room but had no door. The wifi also didn't work in the hotel room which was quite annoying. Other then that, everything was great. We had a comfortable stay.

Good Location Yet Need To Improve Service Level

the Chic & Basic Amsterdam is located in downtown which is about 10 minutes walk to Central Station. Easily access to all places.

1. The receptionist insisted that the check-in time is 3:00 pm while we arrived by 1:00 pm. After negotiation, we were able to check in by 1:30 pm. 2. On the checked out day, I went down for breakfast at 8:30 am while my husband stayed in room. The housekeeping lady knocked the door and soon got into the room without permission. It has been embarrassed since my husband was half-naked. We raised complaints and the Hotel Manager issued a formal apology letter (try to attach it but fail ). 3. We suggested the hotel manager to review its SOP to make sure cleaning works to be done after customers checking out, and the customer privacy is respected.
Hotel Feature Tip: The breakfast in Chic & Basic is simple but still satisfactory. The coffee is good.

Nice view

not too close to the main noisy street so that can take a good rest!
Hotel Feature Tip: beware of narrow slopy stair if you are carrying heavy & huge luggage!

service and quality has gone downhill

location
5.3
I have been a frequent guest at this hotel since it was the Hotel New Amsterdam and I was afraid that over time the new Chic and Basic management might downgrade the experience. First, the lobby and rooms are very cold and basic. No closets in the room and limited space really make the stay inconvenient for more than a couple of days. Second, they have tried to make a room out of any space possible and frequently I get rooms that have no windows to speak of with a shower placed right in the room. AVOID INTERNAL ROOMS AT ALL COST! Third, they have downgraded the quality of everything from the toilet paper (individual sheets rather than rolls) to continental breakfast (what a joke to call it continental breakfast -- toast and coffee that is it). Fourth, the service is so variable from the woman who showed no emotion at all when I checked in to the young man managing at night with his group of friends playing board games in the lobby -- nice but not professional. I have decided that I can no longer stay at this hotel -- there are better options if you look for them!

Small and simple but with great value

location - close to main station and not too far from main shopping area

This hotel offers the most basic things you need when travel. comfortable bed, free wifi and clean amenities. what you need for travel is all provided. for the price you pay you get what you need. overall superb hotel. however the small staircase with have some challenge for those with large suit case.
