Amsterdam hotellit Noord

Plussat: Really cool hotel..

Plussat: I liked everything about the property.

Miinukset: The staff was unfriendly at arrival, check out lady was great!

Plussat: The view from the corner room was amazing

Miinukset: Just the behavior of some of the staff

Plussat: Great location Easy to get to Central Station

Plussat: Vinyylisoittimet huoneissa. Hyvä näköala. Lähellä keskustaa! Karaoke hissi :)

Plussat: I liked that they had a record player on the room and a nice selection of albums in the lobby. Rain head shower was pleasant.

Miinukset: What appeared to be a double bed was actually two single beds. This would have been fine if they didn't separate (slip away from each other).

Plussat: View (sir deluxe corner room, after having asked about a relocation to the room we actually booked), the bedding, the modern and clean look of the room).

Miinukset: The bed is not very safe (the metal feet are very sharp, I cut my toe). The personnel responded to my injury not in a very sharp way. The shower was leaking. Some amenities were provided only for one guest. Home restaurant Butcher has a cheap atmosphere and not very adequate staff too. For cocktails you should better look elsewhere.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: Everything was fantastic. The rooms have a vinyl player and a selection of records to choose from downstairs as well

Plussat: We received a lovely greeting from the male receptionist upon arrival who made us feel very welcome. The vinyl library was a unique extra

Miinukset: Noisy while opening other room doors and late shift staff chatting outside the hotel which their voices can be heard from the room

Plussat: Very hip!

Miinukset: The elevator was broke the morning we were rushing to the airport so getting our luggage down 6 floors was a bit of a challenge!

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: Amsterdam accommodation is very expensive. The price paid was good compared to other accommodation but still too expensive. The room was small.

Plussat: Location n valve for money

Miinukset: The beds are a bit hard n needs more heating

Plussat: I liked that there was a toilet and shower room in the y bed dorms. Staff were really helpful and were available to help all the time.

Miinukset: Would be great to have a curtain on the bunk bed for some privacy while sleeping

Plussat: The hostel is great! The staff are super nice and helpful, and the facilities are comfy. The rooms are not the most fashionable, but they fitted all my needs.

Miinukset: Honestly, not a lot! I would add that the Solo Traveler dinner that is offered by the hostel is not the best (however, it costs only 5 euros...so it's probably a reasonable value for the price). Also, the lockers in the rooms are quite small.

Plussat: Clean, modern, great cafe and bar area, location is great

Plussat: Walking distance from Amsterdam Central Station, friendly staff, honest breakfast.

Miinukset: I’ve booked a bed just for one night in a 4-bed dormitory that was already occupied by a group of 3 Israeli friends. I’m a 40 year old Brazilian/Portuguese national and an experienced global traveler having visited over 97 countries. I’m not a religious person and both my country of birth culture as well as my personal/family background are absolutely free of any sort of prejudice, racism, etc. At that evening, from the very first moment that I stepped into the room these guys seemed clearly annoyed and had a very unpleasant attitude that really made me uncomfortable. I’ve noticed that my bed was completely messed up but since I was scheduled to visit some local friends, I just took a shower and accommodated my 2 bags inside the lockers properly closed. For a bad luck the backpack I was carrying had the logo of my previous employer (a Middle Eastern airline) and during the 40 minutes or so that I spent in the room I could clearly pick some words and understand that they were actually insulting me. On the way out to meet my friends I reported that to the front desk just as a matter of safety but said that I should be ok since I was staying just for one night and would spend most of the time out. So I have returned to the room early in the morning, took a shower and went down for breakfast. After that I went back to the room and slept for a few hours before effectively departing the hostel. For my surprise, hours after when I was already on a train heading to Tilburg, I noticed that my carryon was violated and all my cash, a sum of €200 has been subtracted from it. Again, my bags were properly stored inside the lockers provided by the hostel and it’s really disturbing that someone may have bypassed with no signs of breakage. I’m returning home today after visiting 3 countries handling sensitive family business and unfortunately I had no time neither piece of mind to visit a police station and file a report.

Plussat: Hyvät yhteiset tilat - rauhallinen baari, oleskelutilat, biljardipöytä ym. Joka ilta järjestetään baarissa jotain ohjelmaa, esimerkiksi tapaamisia yksin matkustaville. Lähellä keskustaa, rautatieasemalle pääsee kymmenessä minuutissa ilmaisella lossilla. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Melko kovat patja, mutta nukuin kuitenkin hyvin.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, mukava sänky, varasin sängyn 12 henkilön huoneesta, mutta sain sängyn 4 henkilön huoneesta, mikä oli positiivinen yllätys.

Miinukset: Huoneesta oli sähköt katkaistu päivisin

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Price

Plussat: Very friendly staff, kitchen available to cook your own food, very clean rooms and bathroom, nothing to complain at all. Perfect package

Miinukset: Nothing really :)

Plussat: Really Friendly Staff 24/7!

Miinukset: The Pillows are on the small side.

Plussat: I stayed 4 people room alone.. that was great!

Miinukset: wardrobes are too small and there is no hanger

Plussat: Staff are very friendly, bus shuttle service was very good

Miinukset: WiFi was very slow Break fast variety was limited

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Good location,

Plussat: Comfortable and good size rooms so we had a really good night sleep. The hotel is not in the city so it’s good that they provide a shuttle (which was regular) to Central Station. If you are the type of traveller that likes to spend the whole day out sight seeing to return only to the hotel after dinner then this hotel suits you. Hotel found out(I didn’t highlight it) it was my birthday and wished me personally as well prepared a small gift - very nice gesture!

Miinukset: The location isn’t as central but there is the hotel shuttle (10 mins to central station) and metro is 5mins by foot away and a quick 5min ride to Central.

Plussat: Excellent Breakfast! The stuff was very helpful and very attentive. Very nice location and it is very helpful that the hotel has a shuttle service to and from the Centraal. Room was very nice with very comfortable bed.

Plussat: Loved the staff and room

Miinukset: Terrace mentioned in website not up to expectations

Plussat: Erinomainen aamiainen ja ilmainen bussikuljetus kaupungin keskustaan.

Miinukset: Huone oli hieman kylmä isojen ikkunoiden vuoksi.

Plussat: The location on the north side was good as it was not right in the hustle and bustle of the city and the shuttle bus made it easy to quickly get in and out of the city.

Plussat: Comfy bed

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: 1. I CAME INTO THE HOTEL EARLY FROM A MORNING FLIGHT AND I WAS LEFT AT THE LOBBY UNTIL ALMOST 2:30PM WHEN THEY CAME TO ME TO LET ME KNOW I MAY NOT GO AND GET MY BAG & GO TO MY ROOM. FIRST DAY, FIRST IMPRESSION - VERY POOR. THEY MADE ME WAIT UNTIL SOME LADY CAME TO GO AND OPEN THE DOOR WHERE MY LUGGAGE WAS KEPT & POINTED THE BAG TO ME ASKING ME TO 'TAKE IT". 2. MIKE IN THE BREAKFAST ROOM WAS VERY RUDE. AS I WALKED IN,BARELY JUST COMING DOWN THE STAIRS (FROM THE LOBBY) TRYING TO WALK STRAIGHT TO APROACH A TABLE, MIKE SHOUTED, HEY - WHAT'S YOUR ROOM NUMBER? EVERYONE EATING AT THE RESTAURANT LIFTED THEIR HEADS TO SEE WHO WAS THAT INTRUDER, OR SOMETHING. I ALMOST FAINTED. I THEN WALKED TOWARDS HIM & TOLD HIM MY ROOM #. HE SAID WAIT, AND THEN WENT AHEAD TO VERIFY THAT I WAS A PAYING GUEST WITH ROOM & BRKFST. I WAS COMPLETELY EMBARASSED. AFTER MY SHORT TIME THERE, I WENT BACK TO HIM AND ASK WHY HE DID THAT TO ME. BEING A TALLER MAN, HE CAME SO CLOSE TO ME AS IF TO SAY, "SO WHAT"...&$#@ YOU. HE WAS SO RUDE & I HAD TO STEP BACK TO MAINTAIN SOME DISTANCE FROM HIM. HE ROLLED HIS EYES AS I WALKED AWAY FROM HIM. I WENT TO MY ROOM [344] AND MADE A CALL TO COMPLAIN TO THE MANAGER ON DUTY AT THE HOTEL, BRIAN THE EMBARASSEMENT & HE PROMISED TO FIND OUT. BRIAN NEVER CAME BACK TO ME THAT DARY OR FOR THE REST OF MY STAY. I NEVER COULD BELIEVE THE POOR TREATMENT BUT I BELIEVE MIKE THE RESTAURANT MANAGER MIGHT HAVE BEEN OFFENDED EITHER BECAUSE I WORE A "TRUMP - LAS VEGAS" T-SHIRT OR BECAUSE OF MY SKIN COLOR. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO NH AMSTERDAM NOORD HOTEL OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES. I REGRET HAVING SPENT MY MONEY THERE. BOTH MIKE & BRIAN SURE SHOULD BE REMOVED, RE-ASSIGNED AND/OR REPRIMANDED. COMPLETELY BAD, UNFRIENDLY STAFF. 3. TO GO TO MY CONFERENCE LOCATION AT THE KROMHOUTHAL AMSTERDAM, AN 18MINS WALK FROM THE HOTEL, THE FRONT DESK LADY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE HOTEL SHUTTLE TO THE CENTRAL STATION.

Miinukset: IF THEY COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE FRIENDLIER, RESOURCEFUL & PROFESSIONAL.

Plussat: Although the check in was only after 3PM, the lady at the reception made an effort and we had the room at 12:30 already, which was very much appreciated. The shuttle bus to the city is very handy too. The room was of good size, very good blinds, great mattress, clean etc. Towels were changed regularly. We've been selected as guest of the day, where we got 2 free beers, and a hand-written note, and on the leaving also received 2 bottles of water (great for the hot weather and further travel) - which was a very nice personal touch.

Miinukset: The fact that check-in is only from 3 o'clock with no possibility to have the room earlier, even at extra cost. In a stay of two nights the card had to be reset twice, because it stopped working.

Plussat: Wifi: excellent Reception staff: super friendly House keeping: excellent Transportation to the center: excellent

Miinukset: Bathtub need a little bit more cleaning (molds on the corners)

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and it is close to the ferry and the metro.

Miinukset: This simple hotel would have been fine if it was half the price. But as a native Amsterdammer, paying 160 EU for a tiny, very noisy room in Amsterdam Noord with no space for luggage, no tea or coffee making facilities (you can buy them in the cafe for 2 EU) and no breakfast included just makes me sad as for the poor price quality ratio in Amsterdam these days.

Plussat: 15min. walking to (free) ferry to central station, value for the money

Miinukset: no window (but we knew it), small room - just to stay the night

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Room was damp tv did not work

Plussat: Close city center

Miinukset: Very small room , also there is no window

Miinukset: Very very poor quality of everything No air in the room Completely different than whats online

Plussat: It was clean and a resonably priced

Miinukset: Bit of a smell in hall to bed room .should have picked room with a window . Rooms could do with sound proofing

Plussat: Location, only 2 stops from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Breakfast is less expensive and Rose is very lovely preparing our scrambled eggs.

Miinukset: The size of the room, and there's no lift (which we believe very common in Amsterdam esp. if not a 4-5stars hotel or old type of apartment).

Plussat: The staff was very polite. Unfortunately they didn’t help with nothing.

Miinukset: We didn’t have any tools to clean the room, not even a broom or a wipe for the shower. We didn’t have a closet for our clothes, there was a tiny cabinet. The beds were not really comfortable nor clean. The towels in the shower are not good smelling and had hair on them. The room was tiny and not suitable for 3. There was no kittle, iron or fridge in the room so we had to eat and drink only outside and the motel wasn’t really close to the center so that was uncomfortable. The whole motel smelled from mold and for the whole stay it was in construction and the walls had wet paint on them so that was very uncomfortable. There was no net on the windows so the room had mosquitoes every night. The description says you get complimentary shampoo and body gel, we got a3 in 1 shampoo, body gel and conditioner. The whole motel is made from iron units so the walls are really thin and you can hear the noise from all of the next rooms. The floor was not really clean and a lot of dust and god knows what that was keep coming from under the bed. We didn’t even had place for our shopping bags. The walls were dirty and had disgusting marks all over. There was only one guy at the reception so if he was patrolling or went to the bathroom you had to wait outside in the cold until he comes back. Overall THIS IS NOT A HOTEL. It’s a tiny budget motel that charges like a luxury hotel. Last time I’ve been to Amsterdam I paid less for a way better room. I would not recommend this to anyone. Avoid at any cost. The description in the side is very very misleading. If I had any option to cancel I would do so the minute I got there but unfortunately I couldn’t.

Plussat: Majoituspaikka oli siisti ja viihtyisä. Se oli lyhyen matkan päässä ilmaisesta lautasta, jolla pääsi Amsterdamin keskustaan. Hyvän sijainnin vuoksi ei olisi välttämättä tarvinnut ostaa matkakorttia julkisiin. Olimme ilmastointivian heikosta infoamisesta huolimatta pelkästään tyytyväisiä majoitukseen.

Miinukset: Ilmastointiin tuli jokin vika viimeisenä päivänä. Saimme pöytätuulettimen tilalle ja ilmaisen aamupalan korvaukseksi. Ilmastoinnin vika ei aiheuttanut itsessään haittaa, mutta olisimme toivonut, että henkilökunta olisi ilmoittanut vian korjaamisen aikatauluista paremmin. Meidän annettiin olettaa, että korjaaja tulee samana päivänä, eikä ilmoitettu viivästyksestä.

Plussat: Perfect room size for me. Enjoyed most of everything. Staff were very helpful gave me lots of information when I arrived. Looking forward to returning there soon.

Plussat: Nice place and I had a window room which was very cool. Katie was very helpful and smiling. She’s a good staff

Miinukset: No lifts and the step was narrow. Carrying a heavy box will be an issue when climbing the steps

Plussat: Siisti hotelli ja todella helppo liikkua keskusasemalle joko bussilla tai ilmaisella lautalla. Busseja menee jatkuvasti ja matka kestää n.10minuuttia. Aamupala oli kohtalainen mutta itse suosimme keskustan aamupalapaikkoja!

Miinukset: 2 kerroksisessa huoneessa ilmastointi tuotti ajoittain ongelmia alakerran ollessa kylmä ja yläkerran kuuma! Ei kuitenkaan liian kylmä tai kuuma!

Plussat: The hotel has been renovated recently which makes the value for money pretty good. There is a busstop almost next to the hotel which makes getting to the down town easy. The manager of the cleaning service was very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: We had a problem with our room while extending our stay. We were told we would be able to stay in the same room so we didn't have to pack and move. Unfortunately there was some miscommunication on the hotel's side and we had to switch rooms anyways. Not a huge problem but inconvenient. What bothered us most is that the girl at the reception made us feel like it was our problem and not theirs. Not very customer friendly. Also, the dinner at the restaurant was below my expectations although the service was good. The food was below average.

Plussat: Great location.

Plussat: The hotel is amazing and is very clean

Miinukset: They charged city tax 1.5 euro per person per day

Plussat: Location was decent.

Miinukset: Didn’t seem clean. Hallways smelled very bad.

Plussat: Rabish

Miinukset: All rabush

Plussat: Their Breakfast was awesome and the location of the hotel was 3km away from Town

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very nice personnel. Clean room. Not very close to central side of the city, but you can easily use the public transportation.

Plussat: Rauhallinen alue.

Miinukset: Hiukan kaukana keskustasta. Metroon matkaa yli kilometri. Jos halusi käyttää linjaautoa joutui sitä odottamaan suhteellisen kauan

Plussat: The room was very clean and the bed quite comfortable.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Staff was not helpful , noone on desk at check out, when wanted a drink was told bar is closed at 9pm. Would not stay here again even if they paid me too

Plussat: This is an overpriced youth hostel. 150 pounds a night with no breakfast for a so called hotel, was a total rip off. The staff were sort of ok, depending on whom we managed to speak to. Breakfast at 15 euros a head was certainly not worth it. If you turn up 45 mins before the breakfast is finished, you are to beg for the toaster to be brought back, there will certainly be no hot food left. The young lady who does the eggs needs to be found, as she is seemingly assigned for many other tasks. The second day, she completely forgot to do my one fried egg and after 30 mins, I just gave up. There is only one central number for all Bastion hotel in Netherlands, once you get through , you need to ask for the specific one but no calls can be put through the rooms...!! The reason given “the system does not work”. Avoid this chain of hotel, or at least the one in Amsterdam Noord

Miinukset: Everything
