Best Western Dam Square Inn

This hotel is the best location in the city. The friendly staff and immaculate rooms make it a hotel worth staying at. It is usually a very good value but not so easy to book because those who know Amsterdam love this place.I have to mention that the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in.The breakfast was fine and coffee very good. There was no real hot foods but you could make toast. Everything was fresh and well presented. This Location is perfect for Shopping on Kalverstraat as you are just steps away from shops and cafes. A short walk to central station and a perfect base for exploring the center and neighborhoods of the city. The many street cafes and restaurants near by make it easy for a late night stroll out for dinner or a drink. The hotel is just a few meters from Dam Square and the Nieuwe Kerk. Great coffee, cheese shop and more restaurants. If you are seeing Amsterdam for the first time or !00th you will be pleased with this place. less

We stayed at the Best Western Dam Square Inn for two nights in early September. The location was perfect for us, fairly close to the train station and within walking distance of most sites. Also lots of restaurant choices nearby. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that the breakfast was not as good as any of the other hotels we stayed at on our journey around Europe. It was not poor, just very average. The staff were helpful, courteous and professional. The hotel is close to the Dam Square, but on a quiet street. We slept very well. less

I booked this hotel for 3 nights as the second part of our 4 country Honeymoon. It is extremely difficult booking hotels for Europe I found, but I felt confident with the Best Western Brand. As someone that over analyses everything, I'll give you the low down on this place! 1) Location: Unbelievable to say the least, Damrak is pretty much the main street Amsterdam, and this hotel is just off the main strip. I wanted something close to Amsterdam Central Train Station, and this was only a 10 minute walk, and was very easy to find. You walk down the main strip, walk past the Starbucks (if you hit the KFC you've gone to far), hang a right, you walk down some narrow ally's (all of amsterdam has narrow ally's so don't be alarmed) and there it is, we were 7 Minute walk to Anne Frank Haus, 7 Minute Walk to Red Light District, We walked to the Heineken Experience which was about 30 minutes), but this place had amazing location! 2) Customer Service: Really great! very welcoming staff, helped with any questions we had, pretty much the customer service you would expect from this chain. 3) Rooms: Size of the room was really good, bigger than I anticipated, we had 2 single beds pushed together, and then there was also a murphy bed that came out of the wall. There was a chair, desk, etc and really was a generous size. I didn't find our room noisy at all but it could have been the fact that our window was facing the inner part of the building so we didn't have a street view or anything. The only thing about the rooms is that they are fairly dated, so don't expect anything Modern, but still, it was always clean, fresh towels provided, etc. 4) Breakfast: Was pretty typical of what other hotels seemed to offer, hard boiled eggs, cold meats, cheese, yogurt, fruit, croissants, breads, cereal, - a really good variety for a continental breakfast. I'm not sure if some people just set expectations really high, but it's not like you're going to get Eggs Benedict, as long as you manage your expectations you won't be disappointed. All in all - really great location close to everything, I would stay here again for my next trip to Amsterdam, less

If you want the perfect location for central Amsterdam, this is it. Absolutely perfect spot, just next to the church. Lovely little coffee shop, bakery and cafe across the street, and down the street is the perfect little bar 'Cafe Belgique', which specializes in beers. Their beer menu is fab, the staff are so friendly and they play some great music. all the shops are nearby and Dam Square is just round the corner. Quite a basic Best Western but very clean and the staff are extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Our room was at the back so no view but I would imagine it's loads quieter than having a room overlooking the street. The bed was so comfy my hubby wanted to take it home with him. Continental breakfast good and a sufficient start to the day, Hard boiled eggs, cereal, yoghurt, ham, cheese, bread rolls, toast and sweet pastries. usual tea and coffee. We loved it here and will definitely be back again next year. less

We had booked this as we were only in Amsterdam for 2 nights and saw it was near to Dam Square and in the centre of town. After a long flight from home in Kenya, on our way to the UK, we had several bags. We arrived too early to check but the receptionist was very helpful, stored our bags, offered us coffee, and sent us off for breakfast and to return for 2pm. We returned to a very good and clean room. The position for walking was brilliant, down a back street so care needed on the cobbles, but would certainly return to this hotel if in Amsterdam again. less
