Hotel Clemens

I'm very impressed, the room is clean. good service staff I was late for check in but the staff greeted me very friendly.

We are so grateful we stayed at the Clemens Hotel. The communications prior to our trip were prompt and helpful. Most impressive was the greeting we got when we arrived. Bob flew down the stairs and insisted on carrying our luggage up for us. He made us feel so at home. His friendly, helpful snd comfortable spirit made us feel at-ease, and at home. He helped us with advice and guidance for transportation and planning our days. The other staff were excellent as well. Evening treats were left in our room, such a special touch. The rooms were spotless, well decorated and so very comfortable. The breakfast area feels like a fine dinning experience. The balcony is extra special. The food was delicious. As described on the website, people do need to be able to climb stairs as there are many and they are steep. We loved being able to experience the inside of one of the classic old building of Amsterdam. The location was fantastic, centrally located, transit steps from the door. We had a mix up of a flight after our boat and bike tour, called the front desk in a bit of a panic, Bob was on. He did’t have a room left for us, but he helped us find a room at the Nadia just down the street. The day we arrived to find the Nadia, he was on his way into work early, he saw me standing outside, said hello, called me by name, and showed me the entrance to the Nadia. Bob made a big ciry feel like a small town. We would recommend the Clemens Hotel most highly.

We chose this hotel because it was walking distance to many things we wanted to see in Amsterdam. A bonus was that a train stop is only a block away so you can easily get anywhere. We arrived on a red eye flight and got to the hotel before noon. We had hoped to just sit in the lobby and play cards for a couple of hours. However - they offered us brunch and got our room ready within an hour so we got a much needed afternoon nap before our canal tour! We didn’t realize there would be such a steep stair climb but that is not uncommon in the area. The room had what we needed but don’t expect extra space. Would stay here again! They have 2 nice cats. If you have a cat allergy, that could be an issue.

I only stayed for a long weekend, but found the hotel to be quaint, clean & conveniently located. Staff were friendly and answered questions, lobby was large and decorated for Christmas (& had lots of local info), and the included daily breakfast was plentiful. The room itself was a modest size in comparison to US hotels but, nothing out of the ordinary for European standards. There was a booklet with information about the history of the hotel in the room which I thought was a really nice touch. I read the reviews & was knew to expect all of the stairs, so they weren’t bothersome; I was on the second floor with about 60 steps to get to my room.

We liked the location, free coffee all day and the sitting area provided in the main lobby.

Beware the stairs! Other than the extremely steep stairs up to the lobby and then again up to the guest floors, this was a charming hotel with gracious and accommodating staff. Breakfast was delightful, the location was eminently walkable and yet quiet, and we would be very happy to stay here again.
