Boutique Hotel La Belle Vue

Accommodation was very unlike what was shown online. Staff were helpful when asked for things like towels or new TV remote but over all facilities were poor. Good location but there are much cleaner, better equipped and centrally located hostels you'd be better off in. In the pictures below you'll notice there's no bedside tables with any lamps on them, that's ok because the bathroom light cannot be turned off so you don't need any. OR you would see if this site would allow the pictures I'd taken but for some reason upload will not load. We were provided with no space to place anything other than a poorly installed shelf that was stained and sticky, hopefully from a nice hair spray but I doubt it. The mattress was thin and kept falling off the bed. Not an experience I'm used to. The door to the balcony needs a kick to open. Door to bedroom cannot be locked from the inside. When asked to fix things, they will enter your room without asking. The drain on the balcony is severely broken. The light outside our door was flashing like a disco our entire stay. That made leaving our room risky as the cleaners always had at least one bag of washing on the floor at our door. Overall, I'm sure not the worst in place to lay your head in Amsterdam but I'll not be returning nor recommending. Happy to post pics later to prove.

Very good

We stayed on the 5th floor and it was really difficult to bring luggage up the stairs as there was no elevator. The room was extremely small (which we were aware of prior to booking) so I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless it’s for a few night like we did. There was a horrible smell in the bathroom during our entire stay. However, other than the smell the room was very clean and in an amazing location with with walking distance to all the major sights.

Its poorly managed as part of another Hotel, to say the furniture is severely outdated and bed/mattress was similar consistency to concrete. The facilities do not work and vending machine will take your money but has no goods.

The property was close to the centre of Amsterdam, but to get to our room we had to climb steep and dangerous staircases with two large heavy bags with no help. The people at reception which was a couple of doors down and a mountain goat climb to get up there were unbelievably non hospitable, off hand and rude. Not a good experience.

It should be disclosed in the description how many stairs are in this property and it’s not the fact of stairs it’s how steep and thin they are. You can’t even put your full foot on a stair you have to go up sideways. I do not recommend this for any elderly, kids, or disability’s! However the room was okay, the bathroom however REEKED of mildew and mold. Yes it’s been remodeled but the smell is potent you need to have the door closed at all times, to make it go away. The worst part was on our last night we went up to our fourth floor room and our card was deactivated. And it was because the night prior the room beside us which was 402 was having visitors ams a party. Loud music on the balcony outside our window from 12am-6am and they were smoking and talking. We weren’t going to get up to complain but we weren’t even able to open our window because of how uncomfortable we were with them being able to see inside of our room while we’re sleeping. However when our key got declined the following day it was because the hotel said it was us! I repeatedly said it was us but they said security said it was us and we would be marked that we could not stay again! It was genuinely so disrespectful the way they spoke to my partner and I. Despite having cameras all over the damn hotel, they blatantly and disrespectfully accused us. And for paying $400 for three nights, you’d think they wouldn’t be so rude about it. Despite that the location is good with food and stores surrounding it.

The entire building had a terrible smell. When we arrived there was black hair in the bathroom and an empty cigarette carton on the balcony. I asked if we could cancel our second two nights after the first night but was denied. I got bites all over my back that found several reviews complaining about bed bugs. I would avoid this place.

Only complaint would be numerous doors being slammed throughout night which would echo up to the rooms and wake us up

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at, it really smelt bad the toilet and sink are in front of each other so you end up head butting the sink when you need to wipe! The radiator made a loud noise all day and night the bedding wasn’t changed once you get hand towels as bath towels and the Tv didn’t work we had the worst time because of this hotel.

We were warned about the stairs but they were very steep and 2 flights up difficult to carry suitcases. Shower light kept flicking off which was annoying. Cracked bathroom vanity wasn’t great. But bed was nice and good location.

Massive stairs to reception and reception quite dated but could not fault the room clean had balcony cleaned every day with fresh flowers , could smoke on balcony not for everyone but was great for us . Traffic noise is a lot but we didn’t mind it other than that great experience staff really friendly would stay again

Very steep and narrow stairs, VERY small room right at the top of the stairs with paper thin walls. Bed felt dirty. Overall a poor stay.

Okey for the price in the central of the city it was okey but after all. No privacy, the cleaner knock the door and two seconds before i answer, she open the door and helped herself in. Like I could have been naked and she walked through like nothing. Very disappointed.

Nice walkable area with good options for dining & shopping close by. Clean stay with 24 hour reception desk.

blood on bed, white stains on chair, and had bed bugs.

Upon arrival staff took 15 minutes to show up and check us in. Even then they seemed like they couldn’t be bothered. The whole hotel is old fashioned, worn and not maintained. We paid extra for a twin room and was given a double. The shower in the room did not work and the guy tried to tell us it was fine. Our keycard stopped working for the door so we struggled to get into the hotel and then he just said it shouldn’t be an issue. Overall just very disappointing. P.s. don’t take a massive suitcase because you will have to carry it up 4 flights of stairs which are like trying to walk up a cliff.

Horrible and dirty property. They gave us a room In the third floor that smells like gas. Even the guy at the desk told us not to take a shower with the door close because of the steam and didn’t wanted to die. Ned was dirty and let’s not talk about the bathroom so disgusting and dirty. Everything in the room was dirty and old. I don’t recommend this place not even to my worse enemy. Don’t even go there!

Pay extra and go somewhere better. Really dirty and outdated.

First of all the location is great. Walk to Anne frank house (except i couldn't get in because you have to book 6 weeks ahead, be warned) and you can walk to the royal palace. First night we got there, in the middle of the night temperature was 50 degree (F) and so cold we couldn't sleep. We told the front desk young gentleman who said no worries heating will be up in a few hours it takes time. still no heat out of the heat system at all. Had to keep warm huddling together. Next day I discovered the answer to the aged heat radiation system in a knob in the corner of the window that kept the system off. Second night i brought a stained coffee kettle to the same gentleman and asked if i can leave it there so that they can send me a clean one but he told me to come back to him later as he is checking guests in and for me to bring back later he didn't want me to leave it there. The building has no elevator and there is a very steep and narrow stair case to the second floor (almost the third floor because the ceilings are very tall) that every day you need to navigate. I watched with amusement two young ladies growling to haul their suit case up the stairs as they nicely declined my offer to help. The lights in the bathroom would automatically turn off every few minutes as you would need to get out of the shower and wave your arms at the ceiling for 4-5 times each shower to turn it on. Same thing when you sit on the toilet. The walls are very thin so you hear folks scurrying

This place is a scam! Rooms look nothing like the pictures. They will not store luggage despite the welcome email stating they do. The room condition was laughable. Our window was held open by a scrap of wood. We weren’t informed of the multiple flights of narrow and extremely steep stairs until months after booking and payment. Don’t waste your money.
