Amsterdam hotels near Rijksmuseum

Cons: We prepaid for our stay, and upon checking in at 3pm we’re told the hotel was full, but they booked us another room at a different hotel which we would have to walk back in the opposite direction with our bags. They volunteered to cover the city tax for us for the inconvenience, making a big deal about how generous that was of them), however, when we tried to check out of the new hotel, we were told we would still need to pay city tax. They called Hotel Estherea to see if they would honor their promise and they refused. It took multiple phone calls and a great deal of time and hassle before they would agree to honor their original promise. Far too much time and trouble to deal with from a hotel that I prepaid for. I had read a similar review before booking but thought maybe it was a one time thing. When I was actually there it felt like a regular routine they might be up to, taking prepayment for a room, then booking a room at another hotel at a lower rate and pocketing he difference. Stay away.

Cons: Keys stopped working every day and it takes a very long time to get from the room tothe front desk to get new ones. I also was unable to make my first night due to a change in our flight that was beyond my control and although I called more than 24 hours before arrival they would not refund my first night stay. I would not suggest pre paying. I have worked in hotels so I know there are always ways staff can make it up to you - free breakfast, bottles of wine, discounts on future stays etc. Nothing was done

Cons: The front desk staffs were not friendly. One of them was rude.

Cons: There was no swimming pool

Cons: I was on the first floor and there didn't seem to be a staircase that I could take to go one flight of stairs. It was annoying always having to wait for the elevator (which was insanely crowded) for such a tiny distance. Also, no gym which I expect in a hotel of this size and class.

Cons: Didn't like that it doesn't have a gym but it isn't a big deal because you can use the facilities at other nh hotels, in which there is one two blocks away from this one which did have a gym

Cons: המלון עובר שיפוץ בלובי שלא ידענו בעת ההזמנה, אני חושב שזה פרט חשוב לדעת בעת ההזמנה, זה לא היה קריטי אבל רלוונטי. 25-5-2015

Cons: Our room overlooked the lobby, hotel bar, and restaurant, so we heard everything that happened in the lobby. Hotel claims to have AC but it had been turned off for the year, even though it was unseasonably warm when we were there in October. We can live without AC but the windows don't open. Staff weren't wiling/able to move us to a different room when we asked. Wouldn't stay again, and wouldn't recommend.

Cons: This hotel is rated at 4, it is 3 star at best. The interior itself is dated, you can tell they have tried improving it by panting and cleaning the carpets. It is obvious a remodel is in order to bring it up to 4 star standard. I believe most European hotel turn off the ability to run the AC in the winter. With the windows closed the room became rather stuffy, we slept with the window open on the 6th floor with ear plugs in since the partying went on till 4am. The toilet had a constant urin smell even after having the maid clean with bleach and leaving us an air freshener. Maintenance replaced the sink trap but still smelled. My wife called the front desk for a simple question and front desk clerk by the name of Alessio(male with a beard) was rude and condescending.

Cons: The room is to small

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: The bathroom was really old.

Cons: A bit noisy if you leave the windows opened, but you can close them and that cuts off some of the noise; it is city center after all.

Cons: Not sure if my expectations were different because I'm American, but I sorely missed having an ice machine, microwave and small fridge for use. There was a mini fridge in the room but it was secured as it contained minibar items.I didn't open it for fear I'd be charged for items. Furthermore, I wasn't sure there was any space inside for non-minibar items. I also never received a facecloth during my stay.

Cons: Lack of information ,should make clear what the hotel offers .ie. breakfast not included no smoking signs ,never saw in rooms but rooms was clean and nice.

Cons: Room was located on the ground floor which meant it was a little noisey - but you can't have a central location and no noise!

Cons: Very pricey for standard room. No rooftop. No bar after the restaurant closed.

Cons: The MC Club was very crowded

Cons: Center of Amsterdam

Cons: I am lifetime Platinum and stayed three nights (paying cash). The front desk gave me a very small basic room. It was very uncomfortable. There was only one drawer for clothing. The closet was tiny. There was no desk (but they brought up a temporary desk at my request, and apparently a lot of guests request them.). The executive lounge was very crowded and very noisy with literally no place to sit down. This is because no one checks the credentials of visitors, so it seems that half of the guest at the hotel went there every day for breakfast and evening snacks. There was no way to hang laundry to dry in the shower area of the bathroom. The WiFi was awful--kept shutting down.

Cons: A little long of a walk to the dam but still great things around the hotel

Cons: Very bad cleanliness in our room and bathroom. Room carpet was filthy. Bad smell on the corridors. So farn the worst Marriot hotel that I've stayed.

Cons: Breakfast

Cons: Rooms are not well ventilated. way too hot to sleep and bathrooms can be a bit cramped

Cons: Staff was not the friendliest. When we arrived, the woman at the front desk did not acknowledge us for several minutes as our family of four stood in the lobby. The rooms are clean but not at all nicely decorated. Just functional. Expensive for what you get, but that seems to be the theme for traveling in Europe in July!
