The hotel was literally a block from the Dam Square - a 10 minute walk from the Central Train Station. The room was small, but apparently not much smaller than the average room in Amsterdam. The bed was comfortable. But we had NO view - we looked out onto the tiniest "courtyard" I have ever seen. But at least it... more

I visit Amsterdam every year - it is the most beautiful city and there is so much to see. With over 40 museums in Amsterdam alone, and with The Netherlands having the highest concentration of museums in the world, we enjoy every moment and you need to be in a prime location. And that is one of the best features... more

The hotel staff are very friendly and all speak great english. The room was clean and the bathroom very small - but clean! Housekeeping did a great job everyday. The hotel... more

Excellent location - walking distance to anywhere incl red light district, Dam Square, Central station,... more

Hotels location is excellent, easy walk from Central Station and located less than a min away from Dam square and ~4min away from red light district. The street its based on is very busy, and has lots of... more

We have just returned from a long weekend in Amsterdam. We initially looked for cheaper hostlels but were put off by the consistently bad (at times scary) reviews of most cheap hostels/hotels. In the end we chose to pay a little more and stayed at the Hotel De Gerstekorrel. The hotel did not disappoint and we were pleasantly surprised at... more
