Hotels near Schaap en Citroen Multibrand Store in Amsterdam

We had booked a Cosy room and that’s what we got, not very big but big enough for our needs. The room was also very clean and beautifully decorated. We were able to check in to our room early and we had a room on the second floor facing the Rijksmuseum. This meant we were also facing the construction site. This was a worry at first but realistically they didn’t start work until after 10am and we were awake by this point anyway. The hotel is in the Museum district so is close to many great museums, it is also a short walk from Vondelpark which is beautiful and a great place to ride a rental bike. It is on the top edge of Central Amsterdam and everything is within walking distance including many cafes and restaurants.. The hotel staff were all friendly and a nice cleaner helped us to work the aircon. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I find myself back in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Also, for anyone that is curious the tap water is lovely. We filled out bottles every day before venturing out.

Me and my son booked a twin room. Perfect size for us to crash in after a days sightseeing. Beds super comfy with the biggest pillows. My son also enjoyed the basketball net inside the room. Bathroom a good size too. Quirky decor throughout, super friendly staff and brilliant location for museums, canal boats and trams to get around. Would definitely stay there again as great price for location.

The hotel reception was very lovely and pleasant, the hotel was clean and I enjoyed my stay would definitely book this hotel again whenever I am in Amsterdam.

The good: First and foremost, the staff. All very friendly doing their best to help with any problem that may arise, whether it has to do with your stay at he hotel or not. Good location, close to the museum quarter, five minutes' walk to the tram station that goes to Dam square and the train station, in a quiet residential street. OK: Rooms are very small and compact, but that seems to be the general situation in Amsterdam, and if you're out all day seeing the sights then it's not a deal breaker. The bad: Housekeeping needs to get their act together. Checked in, went up to the room, entered the bathroom and was greeted by a very strong smell of mildew or something similar. Fortunately I was immediately given another room without any argument. Went up to the room, entered the bathroom, and noticed that one of the overhead lamps was not working. Took a shower and found that there's a drainage problem with the water draining so slowly that I had to shut the water flow so as not to have water overflowing onto the floor. Nothing tragic, and it was all fixed the next day, but one would think that the job of housekeeping is to take care of these problems BEFORE the guest checks in, not after.

The hotel is in an excellent location and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

It is ideally located within 1 km of Amsterdam Dam Square. There are GVBs on the 2nd and 12th lines at the door, and there is a train every 3 minutes or so. Take the 2nd and 12th roads to Amsterdam Central Station and take the INTERCITY train to all parts of the Netherlands. Because it is the core area of Amsterdam, the price is relatively expensive. Hotel facilities are old, but fortunately this time is around June, there is no air conditioning in the room, I don't know if I can still treat people in the summer. . . There is no elevator in the hotel, and it is very difficult to carry large luggage. There is no electric kettle in the room. If you need to drink hot water, you have to go to the building. The front desk staff will use the key to turn on the water heater to get hot water. In general, apart from the high prices, others are not ideal. . .

It's a great hotel. The receptionists are very friendly and willing to help with everything. The location is fantastic, it will literally take you less than 2 minutes to get to the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum by foot. The breakfast is delicious. The only negative point is that you must have your credit card with you. I paid the hotel some days before getting there with another credit card than the one I took with me in the travel and they did not accept it. But fortunately I could pay with the one I took with me. But I would go back again. Thank you De Bedstee Staff!

This is a great small hotel, close to the museums and walking distance to everywhere. The only place we didn’t walk to was the airport, but public transportation is great and just around the corner! Staff is super friendly, decor is modern and cosy (as you would expect in a boutique hotel) and everything was super clean! Shower was great! Another nice touch is that after breakfast they leave water, coffee and tea available for the guests! We enjoyed those several times after returning from our walking around town! :-)

We stayed with a Rick Steve's tour group. This company is clear to advise you that you will be staying in moderate European hotels on their tours, meaning they may have limited or no air conditioning, may have street noise, may be small, etc. This hotel had all of these drawbacks. Again, this was as advertised to us but something other U.S. travelers may want to know as the standards are very different. The unadvertised problem with this hotel is that it is dirty. We had two rooms, both of which were sloppy or sticky when we arrived and got no better with housekeeping. Both rooms had dirty linens, to the point of being stained; full of hair and other flotsam; and smelling bad in one of the rooms. I actually tied a pajama top around my pillow hoping to lessen the smell of it. They were working on housekeeping throughout our stay so I don't know where the disconnect was. We don't normally stay at hotels at this classification but it's a part of the tour culture for this company. We have been on several tours with them previously so knew what to expect and how to adjust our expectations. We tried to roll with this place hoping it would just make for a funny story but ultimately could not tolerate it; we checked out early and paid for another hotel. I don't think I've posted a hotel review in a decade, that's how unpleasant it was. There are plenty of other poor reviews here, including from other people on Rick Steve's tours so it's not a one off. I'll be sharing my unhappiness with the company in the hopes they change hotels. I understand they have a long relationship with them but we are too far past COVID restrictions for this to be tolerated. If you aren't with a tour group there is no reason to stay here. On the positive side it is very centrally located and the staff were okay. Relative to some other hotels in this category we stayed at it was modern. It just isn't clean.

A weekend in Amsterdam saw us booked for 3 nights at the Centraal. Excellent checkin experience with a choice of canal view or park. They did warn that canal view overlooks the road and they werent wrong! Ear plugs fixed that up. Good selection at breakfast buffet although breakfast starts at 7am and when we left for an early flight at 7.15, the chef hadn't come so couldn't get some items (that said, there were more than enough options from the buffet and the wait staff offered to wrap sandwiches for others that had early tours). Good location - across.from the Hard Rock Cafe which made it easy to get your bearings. Faces the Blue Line canal cruise office which is also highly recommended.
