Detailed Reviews
After reading many of the reviews, I was expecting the worst for this hotel, but wasn't worried as we were only staying for one night. I was pleasantly surprised.
We received a friendly welcome at the reception and shared a joke. The stairs are - as many other people point out - very steep, but that is quite common in Amsterdam. The room was much larger than I expected, and the bathroom was extremely modern, clean and very functional. There was plenty of toilet paper, two towels per person, and always hot water. There was no problem borrowing an electric adaptor, and the wifi was free and worked well.
The hotel was very conveniently placed for the red light district, lots of fun night life, many of the attractions and within easy walking distance of the main railway station. Yes, the room was a little tired around the edges, but I am not there to look at the wallpaper. One of the bedside lamps wasn't working, but I feel sure had we mentioned it to the staff they would have changed it for us - we did on our way out. The bed was exceptionally comfortable!
For what we paid compared with other hotels in Amsterdam, we felt we got a pretty good deal! I would certainly stay here again!

I have stayed at a few different hotels on the Redlight, but this was the first one I could smoke in and that made a big difference for me. I stayed on the second floor up some quite steep stairs (Most are steep in this beautiful city). My friend and I had a twin room, that was spacious and airy. We were at the back, so peaceful and relaxing. Memory foam mattresses and pillows, so comfy.
The breakfast was a standard continental, just the job to set you up for the day. We shared a bathroom and shower, but never bumped into anyone else using them, so was like our own.
The host was helpful and friendly.
My only complaint was that there was only one plug socket and this was quite high up on the wall, we had to place 2 small suitcases on top of each other so we could plug in the travel kettle.
The area is great, full of life and character, with coffee shops, bars, restaurants, shops and smoking cafes all within easy reach. A central place from which to explore the city. Only a few minutes from Centraal Station.
I have booked this hotel for a return journey when I come back on my own in July. It's not the Ritz, but it is clean, comfortable and local.

Hotel 83 is, as others have said, smack bang in the middle of the RLD, this obviously brings with it an incredible amount of noise, we had a canal facing room on the first floor and our first night, after a half day travelling, me and another in our party agreed the noise was crazy, so if you were to want to go to bed early, don't bother, we stayed out until Amsterdam closed on our second night just to avoid the noise.
To be fair the rest of the Hotel serves it's purpose, a "clean", comfortable room I say "clean" as the cleaner appears to vacuum the room and spray cleaner in the bathroom and that's about it.
Stairs leading to the rooms are STEEP be careful, you can easily come down them, I am a size 9 and my boot probably hung 2 inches over the step, not bad but you have to be cautious.
Breakfast was OK if you just want to grab something, the choice was limited, I would advise maybe a coffee and a sandwich but if you're after a Full English go somewhere else.
The staff at Hotel 83 are amazing, very knowledgeable, happy to help and really make a mediocre hotel much more than it is, I needed a supermarket and the gentleman who was working that morning walked me to the closest one, about 200 meters through the back streets, the lady allowed us to stow our bags on our last day as our flight times were much later in the evening, this didn't appear to be replicated across 'Dam as I saw many with suitcases walking get around.
All in all the hotel does exactly what it says on the tin, it's somewhere to get your head down after a day doing whatever you do, but what really makes this hotel are the staff and they are a great asset to Amsterdam hoteliers.
Just remember when booking you can't have an early night 😂

Absolute Dive
It’s not a budget hotel- it’s a poo hole on a boujee price tag
Dirty, vile, smelly, rat infested hotel
They lead you in with a false sense of security with there inviting reception
Then lead you to the stairway to hell to the bedrooms that I wouldn’t put my knob-head neighbour in
The ONLY good thing about this hotel in the location. THAT IS IT. Id rather wipe my own are with the money and eat it then pay to stay here .

Due to location attracts party types who are noisy all through the night and smoke in their rooms. Both rooms either side of me with unrelated parties were yelling, screaming and singing all through both nights I stayed, despite complaining to staff. I deliberately stayed in a smoke free hotel due to asthma but there were people smoking in the rooms and the check in area. One staff member who was at the breakfast was incredibly Rude, seemed like he had some sort of mental health problems with the way he was carrying on. I'd only stay here if you are a party person who wants to be up all night.

first off all one day we ran out of bog roll so I had to walk down the stairs with a dirty bum . I was a bit tipsy and I fell down the stairs . The carpet looked like it had brown strips on it by the time I got to the bottom :-(
I love my sausages . I've even eat one off the floor in the past lol . My local chip shop call me Sausage Man . For the first time in my life I was unable to eat the poor quality cold sausages . I had about 12 (they are only small ) and that was it I could not eat another single sausage !!!!!!! This place deserves a bad review for crimes against sausages .
I lay in bed one night have sweet dreams of nice sausages (not the stuff hotel 83 serve)
The way hotel staff look at you when you ask for the room key you would think I had took a number 2 in the sausage pot . (Would probably make the sausages taste better ) Customers will ask for a spare room card from time to time when there's only 1 card between 4 of you ! What's the problem ?
We came in one night not making to much noise but having a bit of a giggle (we are in Amsterdam to have a good time ffs) and they way the hotel staff looked at us you would think we had done something dodgy to their kids .
We have left reviews on Fb , booking com . It's not the 1980s now which is probably when most the staff started working at the hotel , If your staff are rude to people it then reviews get put up on the Internet . I hope hotel 83 learn a lesson from this . With a little better maintenance work and polite staff this could be a very good budget hotel . We visit amsterdam one or twice a year . If the staff were polite and the hotel a little better maintained then we may have stayed here again
hotel 83 need to realise that how their staff treat people either adds or lessons their customers experience of Amsterdam.
One last thing . The sausages were cold because the heated sausage holder was not plugged in . I bloody love my sausages as do many other people and this needs sorting out . I work hard all year to go on holiday . I don't expect to eat cold sausages
I hope the hotel improves in the future
All the best SausageManSean x

10 of us girls stayed at hotel 83 this weekend and it was a delight!
I didn't know what to expect when a hostel on the red light district was booked but it was a pleasantly nice hotel!
We were put into separate rooms, a 6 bed and a 4 bedroom. I stayed in the 4 bedroom which was lovely. The rooms were spacious and clean. This was located on the second floor, no lift and steep stairs so make sure you pack light
It was a little noisy at night but what do you expect from being on the most popular street in Amsterdam (I personally slept through it)
Short walk to train station, bulldog cafe and the main central district
Reception staff were very friendly and kind. Would highly recommend! Thank you

What did I not like about, now where do we begin. Was it the unfriendly guy on the desk. That was the start. This guy was not just impolite but positively rude. We arrived at 11am to see if we could book in early, after looking for the reservation he just stated "Booking is at 2" without breaking his stare from the PC screen.
Acknowledging this we went out for a bit. Came back at 14:00 only for him to 'forget' the booking name then pretend like he had never seen us only to say "Room not ready, 14:20 or 14:30". So we sat down and awaited the room. The guy then checked in 2 more groups of people. Whilst sat there all we heard was "Next, Next, Next" not excuse me nothing, we looked up and he was looking at us. He gave us a key on the very top floor. The key had not changed hands or been handed back in so I am still at a loss as to why we waited an extra 40 mins to be booked in?? I work as a doctor and treat everyone in the same manner, this guy treated the group like we had just been scraped off his foot.
The room was clean, but exceptionally stuffy, no aircon not even a fan, 2 balcony windows which did nothing for the stifling Amsterdam air. The bells at the local church rang every day, all day during our stay as well and do the vicinity the area was very busy and loud 24/7. No iron facilities and the shower and toilet were in the same tiled area with poor draining so the area remained soaked the entire stay.
Breakfast (9-11) we got down at 10:00 to find the orange empty, no explanation of what was on order and nowhere to sit, when we suggested the dining table the chap made such an abrupt and put-out noise as if we had just said something offensive but finally let us sit down. For breakfast there was a choice of cereal muesli or cornflakes, dry bread (not toasted), some omelette (there was almost none left) and some mini frankfurters. Under the cooling tray (not plugged in and not cooled) was a selection of 'meats' at room temperature. Needless to say our group had nothing either day and had to purchase a proper breakfast locally.
The WiFi password in the laminated poster in the room was incorrect and never worked we enquired as to what it was and never got an answer so free wifi?
Overall I am positively disgusted at this attempt at a hotel and would advise anyone to give it a bodyswerve unless they like being treated like a dog and being robbed of their money. Unhelpful, impolite, stuffy and with a breakfast that is a positive breeding ground for food poisoning. If your going for a stag-do this place is a stag-DON'T

Hi, yes we were able to leave luggage in the reception area prior to check in.
noted comment from last fall that hotel had bedbugs I assume from recent coments that issue is taken care of. We are senior travellers ,are their non smoking rooms, I read differing comments, it is really hard to find a city centre room for our pre cruise ,night. Will it be too noisy to sleep? Thanks for any help. Can you see room before you pay? Pat
No television in the room, at least not in the room I stayed in.
