My husband and I stayed there 2 weeks and it was great. You wont be staying alot of time in any hotel, but some days you want to rest. The people there are so helpfull and nice. There are the steps that yes are a killer, but they do help you with your luggage and you get used them fast for you have alot of walking do to. Staying there you are close to everything. We did have are clothes washed and they do charge a fee. If you need anything they do it or really try for you. We had a great time and plan to go back. It was great for the price and we didnt go for a big fansy place. We got what we wanted bed, private bathroom, t.v. phone, frig, and a bed for two. November was great weather and we could put the heat on and leave the window open. The bells are not a big bother, I liked them. You do have to leave you keys everytime you leave, and they buzz you when you come back. There is no vistors allowed, and I liked that, no one running around. Breakfast is nice, not American, but you get a nice breakfast and dont have to spend more money. All in all we plan to go back and stay there again.

I really loved this hotel. It's pretty basic but this is more than made up for by the fantastic service and incredibley homely atmosphere the owners and staff provide. When we arrived, we had been up since 3am as we had caught the early morning flight from liverpool. It was freezing cold, sleety and windy when we arrived in amsterdam but the welcome we received at the Nadia really cheered us all up. Once we had navigated the notorious stairs (we left our bags in the ahll and the staff brought them up for us - thank God!)we were warmly welcomed at reception. We were there before our rooms were ready so the owner sat us in the breakfast room with a pile of brochures and booklets and kept our mugs of free coffee full until our rooms were ready.

The rooms are tiny but so well laid out that they have everything you need and more. The rooms even have fridges which I know from staying in Amsterdam several times before is very rare, expecially for a 3*. The location is good, right by the Anne Frank museum on Prinsengracht and only a few minutes walk from Dam Square. Also, our favourite coffeeshop (La Tertulia) is just around the corner so this is another bonus!

Breakfast is simple continental style - croissants, pastries, fruit, ham, cheese, toast, jam etc. with lots of fruit juice and cosntant refills of freshly made coffee from (I think) the owner's wife, who is really friendly and funny.

I've read other reviews on here complaining about the room size and I imagine if you want to sit around all day in a big spacious 5* hotel for your visit, then you will be disappointed with the Nadia. If, like us, however you just want a base to sleep and eat breakfast with great, warm, friendly service, I highly recommend the Nadia. I'm already planning my next trip!

nadia hotel was great! the people there were very helpful with the luggage, places to see and eat. when i go back to amsterdam next year, i will definately be at hotel nadia.

I loved my stay at the Nadia Hotel!!! I picked it based on reviews I discovered here and the low cost for hotels in Amsterdam. Although the rooms were small, the space was utilized well. We had a balcony over looking the street and Anne Frank's house. At times, I could smell pot in the hallway but I never smelled it in my room.
