2-Star Hotels in Amsterdam

This is honestly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was perfect — the cleanliness, the decoration, and the overall atmosphere. What made this place truly special is the staff. Every single person I met was incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely warm. You can really feel that they care, and it makes all the difference. The luggage storage service before check-in and after check-out is very convenient and included, which is a big plus. They even offer free coffee, snacks, drinks and more, which is amazing. And the breakfast is incredibly good and very varied — honestly one of the best I’ve had. I would definitely come back if I return to Amsterdam. I can’t thank them enough. And also the staff speak multiple languages, which makes communication very easy. If you’re still hesitating, just go for it! This place deserves 10 stars, not 5.

Very clean and lovely hostel. I really enjoyed the room/beds and liked that a free drink was included. The women’s only room was very calm despite being fully booked. Location was a bit further from the centre, however a tram connection was close.

The location is about a 10–15 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. The check-in desk is located deep inside a bar, which makes it a bit difficult to find. There is no elevator, so guests with heavy luggage should be careful, as carrying bags up the stairs can be inconvenient and unsafe

Amazing hostel location, rooms had spacious bunk beds, mirror and clean toilets and shower room in the room. Just a headups the the travel adapter keeps falling from the socket attached to the bed. So it's easier if you carry power bank or lighter weight travel adapter for charging.

I stayed two nights instead of one due to the holiday altering at the last minute. First room was comfortable if the decor was a little tatty with age. Only complaint really is lack of space in the en-suite but shower was good and all private facilities is very good rather than sharing something larger. The second room was better decorated and had the same facilities as the first including a safe which is excellent. No in room drinks but free use of drinks dispenser at reception which was handy enough and made a refreshing drink. I didn’t miss the lack of meals as they offered a 10% discount at the Argentine restaurant on the ground floor - so far I haven’t had occasion to try it. As other reviews point out the stairs are steep and I personally wouldn’t want to be any higher than the first floor just because of the struggle to get a case up and down. Having changed rooms reception staff were very friendly and helpful I felt that my luggage was safe with them while the second room was prepared. While I was there the temperature outside was in the mid to high 20s but both rooms were fine with the air conditioning working fine contrary to other reports All in all I was very happy with my stay and plan to rebook for my return journey home with it being very handy for Eurostar.

Convenient location as it is close to the central station (5-minute walking). Friendly staff and clean room. It was rather noisy at night as there are restaurants and bars nearby. No elevator so it is hard to carry large luggage upstairs (stairs are narrow by the way).

There were some inconveniences, like the electricity not working at times and the shower door being incomplete, causing water to spill out. I was told there would be a hairdryer in the room, but there wasn't one. On the positive side, the staff were kind and helpful.

The location is spectacular, and the room itself was fine. The downsides: As I'd seen in other comments, the stairs are very steep. The room they gave me didn't have a double bed; it was two small beds pushed together, which was a bit uncomfortable for a couple. Also, the noise from outside is very loud. I was able to sleep, but if you're someone who struggles to fall asleep, I wouldn't recommend it because you can hear everything, and there are kids screaming outside at all hours of the night. The hotel reception was good.

The location is good, quite close to Amsterdam station and the city center. To enter the hotel, you have to go to the reception of the hotel next door and have them open the door for you, which is a bit of a hassle, but the location is good and the room is just up the stairs, so overall it is convenient. The toilet and shower are shared outside the room, but there is a sink in the room.

The staff are very friendly and the location is excellent, there is a bus to the airport 397, and there is a tram to the train station, supermarket and restaurant opposite.
