Best Western Dam Square Inn

The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring the city, being just one block back from Dam square, Some of the rooms have been renovated some have not. My room was not yet renovated, my colleagues was. The old room are a little dark, being mainly brown in decor and carpet. The new rooms are fresher and more appealing. The cost of the hotel and location are what give it a 4 star, on arrival the front of house man was a but grumpy, but from then on the ladies who were on duty were lovely. Breakfast is as you would expect, bread and bagels, cereal and cold meats. An alright place to stay in Amsterdam. less

Overall this hotel was great, a couple of little niggly things but nothing major. So this hotel is in a perfect location, you can easily walk to any main tourist hotspots, under 10 minutes walk from the station and the tram lines are everywhere. There is a supermarket very close by, very handy for those lunch time bits to take on your travels. The rooms are a good size, clean and tidy. The tea and coffee making facilities didn't have any milk or tea bags our first day, but this was sorted for our second day (1st niggle!). The breakfast is very basic continental, nice but it would be nice to have a bit more selection on the cheese and salad front (1 cheese type and no salad at all! 2nd niggle!). Staff were lovely and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again 😊 being in this location made our stay in Amsterdam very enjoyable. Amsterdam is very easy to get around, i would recommend the train from the airport, €5.50 and takes 20 minutes to get to central station. The train station is under the airport, just follow the signs! There is so much to see and do, we felt we just skimmed the surface so will definitely go back! less

Our second visit to this hotel and for a City Centre location one of the best deals in town. Only down side for us this time was breakfast, as there was no cooked / hot offerings only cold continental style. One thing to note is that entrance to hotel is from a pedestrian zone so you will have a small walk from taxi / car if that's the way you travel. less

one minute walk to the dam square from this allee, leading to a big shopping street where you can buy til you drop especially it's after fest sales in January, shopes close early at night so the surroundings became quiet at night, restaruants for tourists in walking distance, nice breakfast place and the food is nice (for people from Hong Kong), good mannered and helpful staff even there is always one person taking care of the counter, big room for three persons with a folding bed and big bathroom less

This small, advertised as 5-star, hotel is hard to find – it is on a tiny street with no vehicular traffic. I had a rookie transfer driver from the airport who spoke neither Dutch nor English very well and had to call his dispatcher. After listening to him struggle to speak/understand her in Dutch, I took over in English and established that we were actually at the correct spot to let me off the bus – corner of Nieuwejijds and Gravenstraat. Problem was driver then told me to go to Dam Square – a block away – wheeling two suitcases on cobble stones. At Dam Square a friendly café owner gave me a coffee and directions, walk down Eggertstraat Centrum at the end of which is Gravenstraat. The hotel is almost in front of Eggeststraat but I still walked past it!! A really tiny entrance. The Hotel is in an excellent location, 10 mins walk to the Canal where the tour boats leave from, close to tram lines, including the one which goes to the Museum/Concertgebouw area. My room (229) with double bed faced the street (more a laneway), was clean enough, adequate for one person – would be tight for two. Included a long table/desk with chair & TV. Bathroom OK but could do with a good scrub; a tiny shower (hard to work out how to get hot water) but good size basin with space for toiletries; hair dryer provided. There was what I thought to be some mould on the bathroom ceiling – my asthma did play up whilst staying there. I slept well, it was quiet although suspect weekends may not be as a number of bars, small restaurants on the street. Breakfast was continental style, plenty of juices, fruits, breads, cereals, sliced meats, cheeses - very adequate. less
