My son Matthew (age 6) and I spent 4 nights at Hotel Fita in April 2007. First, the hotel is spotless! We had a standard room and the bathroom was 3 times the size of most European bathrooms and it was very, very clean. The bed was comfortable, a flat screen TV, safe to store valuables, closet and hot pot. Perfect.

The location is fantastic as you are one block from the Van Gogh and two blocks from the Rijksmuseum. The Coster Diamond Cutting Factory is one block away and it was a thrill to see diamonds being cut. The trolley car is one block away and takes you into the city without having to transfer. It doesn't get much easier than that!

The free phone calls back to the USA were a nice perk so we could call home each night to chat with my husband.

I must say I have not had fresh squeezed orange juice at many European hotels but it is a daily ritual with Hans and his staff. The eggs, bacon, cereals, fresh fruit salad, pastries are unique for a budget hotel. The breakfast exceeded my expectations.

Hans the owner is a delight. He entertained us each day with his jokes and antics. Thanks to Hans we made two wonderful day trips because he offered suggestions that we had not considered. It's nice to be in a friendly hotel where they go out of their way to make you feel at home in their hotel, city and country.

We will definately stay there again and highly recommend it to others.

Sincerely,
Elaine and Matthew (age 6)

I was very pleased with the Hotel Fita! Loes met me with a drink when I arrived, which set a very good mood. The rooms were very clean and well appointed, the room had a ceiling fan, windows that open for fresh air, and great water pressure in the shower. They offer laundry services, free phone calls to the US, and free Internet service. The breakfast is delicious and even includes scrambled eggs and bacon! It is located on a quiet street in the museum area, far from the racy and noisy parts of Amsterdam, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and a tram line. Loes and Hans are very helpful, and go out of their way to make people comfortable. I would stay there again!

Great location in quiet residential area – close to museums, easy access walk/tram to everywhere in the city and beyond. Room spotlessly clean and fresh, good breakfast and great coffee. Loes gave us first rate information on what is available to see and do in Amsterdam – invaluable to any visitor. We had a very enjoyable stay at Hotel Fita. Highly recommended – would stay again.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in april 2007. We got an standard double room, and stayed there for 4 nights.

It is an average hotel:

1. the location is not bad (just opposite to Van Gogh's museum, well-served by tram's lines, and about 15-20 minutes from Centraal Station by tram);
2. the staff is fine;
3. the breakfeast is okay;
4. the room was fairly clean.

Overall, an average stay. Neverthless, this is not a hotel for people that like to party: breakfeast is quite early from 7h30 to 9h30, and just around 9h30 they are knocking on your door to see if they can clean your room. On the good side you have free internet access (computer next to breakfeast room); free calls anywhere in the world (that is actually the highlight of the hotel in my opinion); and free laundry.

I think we'd stay there again.
