Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Nes Amsterdam

What a great location. Very walkable to most areas. Had a hard time trying to pick a restaurant, so many to choose. Canal cruises are a must. Hotel staff were very helpful, and always with a smile. The only negative thing is that there is no air conditioning. It was challenging to keep cool with a small fan on very warm days. The duvet had to go. I realize it is an old building (that is the charm) but maybe they could consider wall mount AC units. Overall we were happy with our choice.

It's good value for money. Our double room (303), was a comfortable size for two people, with enough space for bags and a small wardrobe. As expected for an older building in this area, the rooms are compact and the staircases narrow, but the presence of a lift was a definite bonus. The modern bathroom was a highlight, though it did lack a shower guard, meaning the floor got quite wet after each use. The room had a tv which had 16 satellite channels, including BBC 1, 2 and CBBC, the dutch channels also play English movies with Dutch subtitles. It's not a smart TV, so no Netflix built-in, but the Wi-Fi was good and strong, so if you're like me, definitely bring a Chromecast to stream your own content. The bed was very comfortable, though I did wish the blanket had been a bit thinner for warmer nights. Speaking of warmth, our first day hit 28 degrees Celsius, and the room became quite hot and clammy. Luckily, that was the only super hot day, and it rained that evening, so the fan they provided and opening the windows did the trick. However, I wouldn't recommend it for a prolonged heatwave. The area is quite busy, so with windows open, noise can be an issue. The main issues I had that prevented a perfect score: the carpet, curtains, and scuffed walls made the room feel a bit more dated; the potential for the room to get hot; and the wet bathroom floor after showering. But overall, for a budget-friendly hotel in such a prime location, it genuinely exceeded my expectations

Location, location, location

Great property, quick walk everywhere and the staff is amazing

Convenient location and the staff are wonderful.

Centrally located, great place to stay in Amsterdam. Very accessible via Tram 4 or 14, from the train station. Our room was clean, comfortable and we enjoyed the breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Staff at Hotel NES over the top fantastic…do anything to help. Thank you! Ron - Canada

Friendly staff

Hotel Nes was the perfect spot. Very centrally located and Rick was great with local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

No elevator, disaster when traveling heavy as I did. Old Hotel with extremely narrow steps, rather dangerous if you ask me. Great Location, though.

I liked the fact it was old and unique. Thank goodness they had an elevator. Great staff. Very helpful. Fortunately I like walking because I walked to and from the train station 3 times.

This place is perfectly located, super-charming, and the beds are comfortable. The staff is cheerful and very accommodating. Would definitely stay there again!

We stayed in the annex where the stairs are VERY steep but it is now a fun part of our experience. The view made it worth it and the frint desk clerks were phenomenal! We used the valet service and have a gew questions about the way our vehicle was returned to us but wouldn't blame the hotel for that. 10/10

Very helpful staff

Hotel Nes was perfect for a stay in Amsterdam. Walkable to everything you would want to see and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great hotel in a very central place, easy walking to most attractions, staff couldn’t be more friendly or helpful, room was clean and well furnished but unfortunately no AC and window didn’t open could get a little stuffy but would happiest at again

Great location. Room a little too small

Nice

Hotel Nes was a great hotel in a great location with public transportation nearby if walking is not for you. The hotel is approximately 20 minutes walk from the Grand Centraal station. The hotel was clean with great staff. Thank you Rick for all your help. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Amsterdam.

The staff are incredible and quite knowledgable. Everyone who worked the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. We were traveling with children and elderly - and it was a wonderful experience.
