Room wasn't amazing - in the basement and slightly damp. Friendly staff and a small bar area to have drinks. OK location but did do a lot of walking. Near the Heiniken brewery... more

Previously in Amsterdam we have stayed close in near Central Station but this time went a little further out on good advice. This hotel is a straight line 10 minute stroll along an attractive canalside to Rembrandt Square - and from there 5 more minutes to city centre. The hotel staff are welcoming and helpful: our room was clean and... more

We stayed at the Nicolaas Witsen for 3 nights and found it to be a great little hotel. When you arrive in Amsterdam take the train from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station and then get the number 4 tram this stops at Fredrik Plein which is about 2 minutes from the hotel - really easy to find.

This hotel had everything we were looking for. It was very clean and tidy, it was conveniently placed yet very peaceful. A short walk along the canals brought us to the city centre but several trams were also available. The Hotel Nicolaas Witsen staff were friendly and obliging and the price was sensible. The Connexxions Airport Shuttle (very reliable) delivered... more

Clean and comfortable with a very friendly and helpful staff. Our only intention was to sleep and this hotel was perfectly acceptable in that respect. If you're looking for luxury--look elsewhere.

It was a little difficult to find on our first day (the cycle taxi we took had to circle twice) but there was a sign off of the main road. The location of the hotel was perfect for ambling around the city.... more

We arrived early at the hotel (9am), aware that check in was at 2pm and were surprised and pleased that our room was ready for us. The room was quite basic and the bathroom was small, but everywhere was exceptionally clean. Breakfast consisted of boiled egg and a variety of bread - which was fine, but some fresh fruit would... more
