The Nadia Hotel is a bit more than OK due to the good service at the reception desk and the luggage handling (the steep stairs are not easy with heavy bags...). Trafic will be heard in the rooms towards the street, other rooms may hear the sound of church bells every 15 minute (including extra "tingeling" each hour for about 5 min). Small but comfortable rooms, well equiped with fridge, safe and TV.

You may see reviews, commenting on the size of the rooms or the stairs. If you stay in any old property in Dam, the stairs are all the same, narrow and steep, think of the exercise. After the initial shock, you get used to it, think of it as some exercise ! OK the rooms are not massive but hey you only really want somewhere to sleep as there is so much to do in Dam.
We love this hotel, the rooms are clean, the staff are really friendly and remember you from previous visits, how often do you get that ? Two years ago, flowers were left in our room as it was my partners birthday ! This year we had flowers and a 'welcome home' note, which was so nice. The staff give you all the information on Dam you need if you have never been before.
The hotel location is brilliant only a few mins walk to Dam Square. Anne Frank's house is just round the corner and there is a yummy pancake house on the street outside, which is highly recommended too. The hotel is quiet at night and it is so worth having a room with a balcony to sit on in the evenings before you go out.
You can reach the hotel by foot from Central Station, it only takes about 8 mins.
On another note, we have stayed in various rooms and all the beds have been really comfy.
So please don't complain about the rooms or the stairs, this is typical for Amsterdam ! I will definately be going back to this hotel again. Good value for money (would be better if the £ to € was a bit better, but that's not the hotel's fault :-) )
And on another completely random note, my boyfriend proposed to me this trip, so for me this hotel will always be special.

We only stayed one night, as Amsterdam was a jumping-off point for us. The directions to the hotel from the train station posted on the hotel's website were dead-on. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by a long flight of steep stairs (we expected this after reading other reviews), but someone immediately took our suitcases and heaved them up for us. We were upgraded to a larger room (even though it was just the 2 of us), and were quite pleased with it. The room was small, (again, this was expected) and we could have cared less as we had just planned on using it for sleeping, showers and re-packing. We had a room overlooking Raadhuis Straat, with 1 double bed and 1 single bed. It was in a quiet neighborhood, so sleeping wasn't a problem. The bathroom looked like it was renovated and was clean. There was a small refrigerator in the room, which was perfect for storing the grocery store items we had picked up for our train trip to Brussels. The hot water pot in the room was nice to have, as well. The staff were very helpful with any questions we had regarding the area. I had a bad headache, so I couldn't sleep part of the night. They were very accommodating when I requested some crackers to take with my medication and even gave me a couple of bottles of water for free. Breakfast was tasty, abundant and just what we wanted. Check out was quick and easy. We would definitely recommend Hotel Nadia for young couples (or singles) who just want a place to sleep at night, or for a quick nap during the day. Definitely a good deal!

Flowers in the room, view of a canal, drinks upon arrival, breakfast with a view, and don't let the stairs scare you. While the room was small, it didn't matter because we didn't spend much time in the room. Amsterdam is a beautiful city with many things to see and do.
