We stayed at the Hotel Hortus May 2013. We were starting our vacation and comming in from the airport so we got bus and tram instructions from the information desk at the airport on how to get to the hotel. The bus was very easy into Amsterdam central and only $4.00 Euros each. The Tram was a bit trickier to... More

This is the best value room I could find in Amsterdam. I actually stayed here in 2008 but did not realise that until I walked into the common room. It must have been the best bet back then as well!!! The room was small and basic but who cares as there is lots to do outside in Amsterdam. One of... More

We arrived to the beautiful city of Amsterdam early May 20th 2013 to a less than welcoming introduction at the Hotel Hortus. We rang the doorbell and the owner opened the door and stared at us blankly. No welcoming introduction at all as if to say, “what are you doing here?” We told him we had a reservation and he... More

After reading many different reviews of the hotel before our trip I expected absolutely anything only to arrive to a warm welcome from the receptionist Kelly, who had a lovely chat with us several times and was always helpful when we asked for attractions etc. The place is actually clean! (I read about creepy crawlies etc there;) Our room was... More

We stayed as a group of 19 on a stag weekend, although we were a little rowdy at times the staff were very good and if we did get a little loud they reminded us of the other guests which is good as they showed they cared.Great budget hotel in which I would stay again.Thank you hotel hortus :)

A great hostel to spend a couple of days in Amsterdam. It was very quiet and clean, the staff helpful and friendly. Attractions are at a fair distance. We had a double room with a private bathroom, small but well equipped. The shower is inside but the toilets are shared. The breakfast was good and the atmosphere was cheerful. Would... More

The hostel was very basic and small but overall absolutely live-able for the two nights we were there. The staff were very friendly and all was clean. The breakfast was very basic also but can't go wrong with toast and cereal so again no complaints. Eggs were also offered. We knew it was a hostel and wasn't sure what to... More

Just returned from this budget hotel after a hen weekend. I was a bit dubious about staying in this hostel but it turned out to be very good value for money. The guy greeting us looked a 'bit rough' but he was so helpful and friendly as were all the staff, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was adequate and... More
