Hotels Near Mercurius - God van de Handel in Amsterdam

I can't lie. Brill location, super central. HOWEVER! That's where the good ends and the madness begins... (Copy and pasted from my removed review on trip advisor 😕) don't let them silence being outted for their incredibly dodgy behaviour... Durty Nellys 1,547 reviews 1 ★ 🚫 AVOID, the security will give the master key to their friends to let them into Ur room to 'clean' at 3am. Tried to tell me it was normal for this to happen in hostels, I've stayed all over Amsterdam and even other hostels in other parts of the world... They don't clean when you're asleep, don't let them convince you this is normal, I should have called the police but didn't want to ruins my friends holiday. Also, I was threatened with being kicked out and having the Dutch police called on me because I got angry at the security for giving the ”cleaner” a key to our room for him to come in, clean nothing and then leave. The old security guy was actually asleep at his desk watching YouTube videos when I did go down to question him in anger. So please be warned. They're running an unusual game at Durty Nelly's, don't trust them, even the seemingly nice owner tried to convince me in the morning that I was in the wrong for questioning why there was a man in my room at 3:37am. Tbh they're probably all in on it and split the profit. So if you're reading this and are considering staying here please don't you'll likely regret it. and if you're reading this and you work at Durty Nelly's, you should be ashamed of yourself for letting this happen... EDIT: They do NOT want you to see this... they flagged and removed this review because of 'profanity' yet I didn't swear once. EDIT edit: it was removed for a third time... Gunna use chatgpt to keep rewriting this until Google /duttynellys accepts. EDIT (After their reply): Funny how you weren't willing to discuss it with me in person but now months and months later you're completely available to talk about how insane your cleaning schedule is... And it's also funny how in your own words, for a 2nd time now ”Race and discrimination” is being mentioned. I didn't mention once about the dudes race, and I obviously wouldn't give a damn about where he's from... He shouldn't be in my room whilst my friends are sleeping at 3:30am, that IS irregular. And to claim that's how hostels do it is just a straight out lie. You're so obviously just liers trying to cover yourselves because you clearly profit off of the things your staff steal for you. It's honestly so telling that you mentioned any of that, trying to make me look like a racist or something, it's actually laughable. The old man head of security tried to do exactly the same thing when I went downstairs at roughly 4:00am unable to sleep asking: ”Why would you give ANYONE the master security key card at 3:30am?” It was one of the initial reasons for my suspicion that this happens regularly and that I wasn't the first to come to you with my concerns... Please PLEASE reply again with some more non

The hotel is spot on for location, but the rooms smelled really bad, so did the bathroom. The shower also leaked everywhere on our last day. We stayed here for 3 nights... I think if you are staying for around 1 night that is fine. You are unable to fully open the windows to air the room out and it was also red hot. Stains on the floor. Very noisy in the morning, you are woken up by lots of banging, lorries etc. We was also on the 5th floor. Woke me up every morning still. The beds are very comfy though. I just could not get past the smell unfortunately. Very musky, out-dated hotel. I would not stay here again. Sorry. I literally walked out of the hotel every day thinking that I smelt of that hotel room, even after showering. Still feel sick at the though. I beg you please avoid!

Stayed here at the end of April for the recent Metallica concerts with a friend. The location was perfect - a five minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal station - and we were pleasantly surprised considering some of the reviews on here. While we only really used it as a base, the reception staff were extremely friendly and we were checked in quickly. Our room was on the second floor and while it had a window, the view was of the next building. No big deal. The room itself looked nothing like some of the pictures previously posted. It was modern, clean, and perfect for two big lads. The bathroom had hot water no matter what time of day and fresh towels every day. The room also has air con and heating and we used both due to the mixed weather while we were there. The breakfast was a buffet style and more than adequate to see you through the morning and most of the early afternoon with a choice of continental and/or English breakfast. A huge thanks to the night receptionist on our last day who whipped something up for us even though we had to check out earlier than the 8am breakfast start time. Considering it's position in the Old Quarter it wasn't as noisy as some previous reviews have suggested - maybe we just got lucky! The staff at The Old Quarter are really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We loved the train style seating and it's closeness to the brilliant local bars and transport hubs - to get from the hotel to our actual seats at Ajax's ground took 50 minutes from door to door! Brilliant experience and we will definitely consider Hotel Old Quarter next time we are in Amsterdam. Thanks guys and see you soon! (Mark and Tony, Manchester, UK)

We had a triple room during our stay; it was quiet, clean and perfect for our 4 nights in Amsterdam. It felt safe and perfect as our base. Clean towels and housekeeping every day. Staff at reception very helpful. Highly recommend. It's not very modern but it's clean and the location is 4 star! Didn't eat so can't comment on breakfast. Left luggage room would have felt better if it had a lock.

Rooms were clean, reception staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. Nice area to sit downstairs with a coffee machine. Amazing location. Great value for money. Lebanese restaurant next door is fab.

Yesterday night we stayed at Di Ann Hotel in Amsterdam just for one night. We paid a total of 192 euros, not the cheapest hotel in the area and disappointment cannot even begin to describe what we felt. When we arrived at the hotel room we were disgusted by the filth that there was present. Bed covers were dirty and had a wet feeling when you touched them, the duvet was covered in big staying, there was only one plug available and the room looked nothing like the picture. What is more, the room was covered in dust and soundproofing was not even in the plans for them. To give you a better vibe think of a creepy motel in the middle of nowhere. To add to this disaster the window that was facing the road was so thin that you felt like you were sleeping on the side of the road. Correct me if I am wrong but hotels are supposed to provide the necessities for your stay, towels, and toilet paper, well this one didn't have any. I have been working in the hotel industry for a few years now and I have been traveling from a very young age. The only thing I can say is that I have stayed in a cabin in the ASmaxon forest and not only was it cleaner and we actually enjoyed our stay it was also way cheaper. When I said to the receptionist all of my problems they just told me they will pass it along. I don't think it's going to lead somewhere, in my opinion, this place has to be closed down its a matter of public health, and calling it a scam is very generous.

Definitely one of the coolest hostel I’ve been. Super cool stuff,easy and fast check in and out , great facilities,bar ,coffee shop , hall area super chill atmosphere. I am very satisfied with my stay in this hostel and with reception staff. Location is perfect too . I had lovely stay and will definitely come again and recommend it to everyone. Only one thing is not good ,check in is at 4pm and check out is at 10am 😭 that’s kinda annoying 🤷♀️ but all other things are just great 🤩🤍

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

Great western Amsterdam is a very good hotel if you prefer to stay a little quiet area. It’s about 30 mins to get into Amsterdam central station and all the popular sight seeing places. The service provided by hotel staffs were generally very good. Room is spacious and clean also Highly recommended

I chose this hôtel as I was travelling from the UK to see Dépêche Mode at the Ziggo Dome. And stayed two nights. Jaz in the City is just steps away from the Ziggo entrance so you can’t get any closer! It’s also great as a base for Amsterdam sightseeing. From the airport there’s a direct train (hotel is a 10-15 min walk from Bijlmer ArenA station). You can also hop on the metro here for a 20 min ride to Centraal. As Amsterdams public transport is so good (compared to Bristol in the UK where I live) you can confidently rely on it to get you wherever you need to be efficiently! Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. From front desk, bar, restaurant and housekeeping. Everyone (thankfully) spoke English which is ideal for me as I can just about say hello and thank you in Dutch! Special shout out to Mr Omelette Maker at breakfast. The perfect start to a day of sightseeing!! I’m sure they’re are cheaper options but I’m of an age where I understand that you get what you pay for. This hotel in my opinion is great. It looks good, is super clean and well maintained and importantly ＜feels＞ good.
