Find hotels in Oost / Watergraafsmeer

Best Hostel in the world, and I'm not even kidding you... I've been to many hostels and I can only say that this is the only affordable hostel with a 4-star service you'll ever find. Pros: Friendly and nice staff. Good location (though could be slightly better as the nearest tram is ~8 min away). Comfy beds and fully-functional power outlets. The laundry room is there as well. Cons: The floor could be cleaner (but considering the price and the pros, this is no big deal)

We had a great experience, in fact it was the best thing of our Amsterdam stay. In the beginning they were unable to find our booking and made us wait for 20 mins and gave us a free beverage coupons. But later when they found it, they provided us with a free up-gradation to their best room, the suite. The room was duplex and huge. The bathroom was humongous. The hotel had very nice interior and exterior. The internet speed was great. Overall it was the best hotel in our 65 days Europe trip.

This was a last minute booking for our Honeymoon. We arrived to find they had upgraded our room free of charge. We went out for a walk only to come back to our room to find the general manager had left us a bottle of prosecco chilling and a beautiful dessert plate along with a note congratulating us on our wedding - at no charge to us. The room itself was perfect, large and spacious with a big bed which had extra length (my husband is 6ft and had loads of room). There was a desk, a beautiful bathroom with bath/shower and plenty space to walk around. The view from the window was stunning. The room was also very quiet (did not hear other guests or any noise from outside). The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. We are planning on making more trips to Amsterdam and we will be booking this hotel every time, cannot fault it.

First of all, I emphasize we are very happy with our stay at Mercure. One objection is the price of breakfast which is 22 euros. But you can book breakfast ahead when you check in for half that price. Still 11 euros is fairly pricey. And, since there are no restaurants within walking distance, it's practically necessary to eat breakfast there. THe breakfast bar was good, however. I thought the distance to walk with luggage to and from the train station was a little far but my husband, who was pulling the suitcase, thought it was fine and pointed out our walk to the tube from home in London is no further. Otherwise, our stay was great. The staff were consistently courteous and went out of their way to arrange for an extra night when the hotel was already booked solid. They had, for five euros, a boat that picked us up at the hotel on the river and took us on a tour and to town. This was available in at 9:45 and 10:00 a.m. The room was fresh and clean and spacious and had a view looking out to the east over the river on which the hotel is situated. The sunrises were spectacular. The food in the restaurants was good and there is a nice patio adjacent to the dining room which sits right on the river bank. Very pleased

I loved the Volkshotel. Had a very Brooklyn vibe but in the best way. Staff was super friendly, food at the restaurants was good and affordable, great coffee in the morning and cheap beer in the evening. Room was nice and clean, bed was super comfortable, I will definitely be staying here on my next trip to Amsterdam. Was my favorite hotel throughout my 6 City euro trip.

Lovely hotel situated 5 min walk from station to travel into the city, which took 10 mins. Rooms were a good size, and sound proof. Nice and modern and clean. The roof top bar was nice but could get overcrowded. Con, we came back 2:30am and asked at desk if we could have a later check out the next day as checkout was 12 - they refused and stated was fully booked but check in time wasn't till 3pm. They don't change the bed sheets everyday and often forgot to stock up on towels, have to keep asking reception. Pro they had a fridge we could use to stock up on drinks and a cheap supermarket 3 minute walk from the hotel. Also, you have to swipe in to use the lifts and also to get into the building late at night which I liked, felt safe. Overall good experience. Would book again.

The room was as epic as you can see at the pictures (that includes the standard rooms) OK, the view from our room wasn't that great, but you could block that out because state of the art software build in in every room. This hotel sells itself, but the people who work here make it amazing. All friendly all helpful. This was the first time I tipped people at a hotel. Few down points are that you don't really know where you spend your money on here. So a little bit of oversight somehow would be great. Also we made a reservation at the restaurant when we arrived(to early for check in) at the hotel. When we came back after our city tour, they said the restaurant opened 5sept because it was under construction. Best thing we did was going to the downstairs restaurant. It was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Really really good! We ended the day at the 21 floor at juniper & kin. We had sight over the city, and the drinks where amazing, brought by very passionate people. Best trip ever!!

The apartment itself was clean, stylishly furnished and comfortable with pretty much everything you would need for a short break away. We stayed in a Studio apartment (number 10) which was located on the fourth floor, up four (very steep!) flights of stairs. It featured a small balcony, sitting area with TV and coffee table, kitchen area with dining table and a raised bedroom area. The bathroom had a proper bath as well as a separate shower area and there was a separate toilet room. There are only 2 or 3 apartments on each floor, so it is pretty quiet on the whole but the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbours when they are in! The Number 9 tram stopped every 15 minutes or so just down the road from the apartment (a 2 minute walk) and took us directly to and from many central locations in town (Central Station, Dam square, Rembrandt Square, Waterloo Square etc) so getting around was easy enough. It takes about 15 minutes to get from town back to the apartment on the tram. If you find yourselves out later than the trams run (until about 1am), walking back from town is also manageable - it took us around 40-50 minutes. There is a great coffeeshop just around the corner (Smoke Palace) and several bars, cafes and restaurants all within a few minutes' walk. There is also a Lidl supermarket a few streets down (5-10 minute walk) which is handy if you are planning on self-catering during your stay. One thing it is worth mentioning is that check-in is in a completely different location to the apartment itself. There is a check-in office within Schipol airport and another office in Amsterdam Centre (451 Herengracht) which we visited to pick up the keys etc. We had read the small print from the booking agent so we were prepared for this, but we did encounter another couple with small children who had been caught out by this and had found their way to the apartment, only to discover that they needed to travel back into Amsterdam to get their keys.

Very pleasantly sursprised by the hotel. Looks like a tower block from the outside but inside is very smart, exactly like a 4 star hotel but with 2 star prices. The rooms are lovely and if you are on a high floor you will have views across the city, i felt this was an added bonus to my holiday. The hotel is very safe and quiet and you can catch a hotel shuttle from the airport. The breakfast is excellent and the staff cannot be faulted. The only slight downside is that the hotel is situated far on the east side and you need to take a tram to get into the city which could become quite tiring of an evening as we did not see any places to eat nearby. however, the stop is directly opposite the hotel and the trams come every 15 mins to anywhere in the city. the reception staff will also help you to navigate the tram system. Overall the hotel is fantastic value for money and is far better than others I have seen. It was a big factor in making our trip to amsterdam an almost perfect city break.

I really loved everything about the hotel. The suite was sooo beautiful and stunning! I felt like I am living in a palace. The suite was huge and very clean. I loved all the small antique items in the room and the house. Also, the breakfast was fantastic! Camilla prepared all the nice foods for me and my bf. All the foods were very delicious and the setting was so pretty. She put many flowers as well as candles, and it was the most romantic breakfast!! We had 2 hours breakfast and skipped the lunch haha Camilla was so kind and friendly, she explained the hotel location, tram station, tourist places and the history of Breitner House which was very interesting. Thanks for your kindness, Camilla. I will defo visit this place again! It's really worth to visit. I highly recommend this hotel!
