From the moment we arrived it was just great. A cute cosy room, which was spotlessly clean. We were room 04, which was a little noisy being at the top of the first stairs, but it was something we anticipated and was only other couples returning/leaving so wasn’t too bad for noise, but be wary you are basically sharing a small townhouse, which does creak and make some noise! This didn’t bother us however, the bathroom flooring is heated which we didn’t want to leave, and the room was immaculate, with fresh towels, and coffee etc offered if you ask. Great central location, we walked everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would recommend and return! Lovely.

I stayed with my husband while on holiday with my mother in law. It was just heaven. For our short break exploring amsterdam all we needed was a crash pad. However every time we came back to warm up I genuinely found it difficult to head back out again. It felt safe, secure, luxurious without being snobby. I'm actually going to contact them about their duvets because the beds were gloriously cozy. The shower was awesome. What more could you want!

Centrally located hotel clean and friendly. Room only and no lifts with steep stairs. We had room 8 which was at the back of the hotel and perfectly quiet. Clean and very comfortable, all you need when all you will do is wash and sleep. Bags can be stored for late flights. Very quirky with excellent facilities, power shower and soap, shower gel and shampoo. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

I agree with some of the other “average” reviews. I wish I could give this hotel a higher rating but ultimately “average” is the best overall rating for this property. I travelled here for 3 nights with my family (2 adults and 3 school aged children). We had two rooms (a double and a triple). The rooms are small but very nicely appointed. I forgot my electric travel converter and they were able to lend me one. For us, the location was great and we enjoyed being on the quieter/nicer side of town, just outside the hustle and bustle. There are nice shops and restaurants all within walking distance and the 4 tram is incredibly close. My biggest cause for the 3 “star” rating is the service. They provided new towels and new coffee pods daily but the beds were never made. The reception is not staffed very often. You can text requests but I found the responses to be considerably delayed. The physician appearance of this hotel says “4-star” and nice but the service is more like that of a hostel (very limited.) My husbands room key rarely worked; we had to call the night crew to let him in his room one night. Each person we talked to had a different “trick” to get into his room which rarely worked. Please note, this a new door with a modern locking mechanism (this is not the result of an old/quirky door.) If this were a lower quality hotel or a hostel, all of the above would be expected, but for the price and the hotel “class” they advertise they need better service to justify the price. Or, their website needs to be more clear that this is a nice looking hotel with very limited service for guests. Thank you

We booked a triple room. We got a lovely room on the second floor. Be prepared for very steep stairs but that is to be expected in old houses in Amsterdam. We were at the front and did not find it noisy even though it is only a few feet from the Main Street. It’s very close to a tram stop making travel easy and also plenty of bars and food options nearby. Our favourite breakfast place was Kaldi just around the corner. Bathroom was small but with a big shower and lots of hot water. We loved our trip and enjoyed our stay at this cosy little hotel.

We booked the top floor ‘suite’ which has two adjoining rooms with a shared shower room. Although there were no bedroom doors, the corridor was angled to afford privacy. The views from the windows were worth the climb and the rooms were comfortable, attractive and well equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our bags in a secure room after checking out. The location was great too: a short easy tram ride from Centraal Station, close enough to the main touristy areas but not too close, on a pretty, quiet street away from the tourist traps. Would stay here again.

Hotel Dwars is located within easy reach of the sites and Centraal (by nearby tram). We opted to walk everywhere anyway and most places were 15-20 minutes amble along the canal. The location is in a very nice part of the city and there are numerous bars and restaurants nearby, some literally steps from the front door. That said, it was always quiet in the rooms. There are only nine rooms, which are compact but well designed and very ergonomic. The stairs are steep - which is common for this type of property - but manageable and the staff very kindly carried our main bag up as my wife arrived shortly before me. I would definitely recommend both the hotel and the location.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL ! The management at this hotel seem oblivious to the global pandemic and as a result my daughter and her large group of friends have lost 100% of the cost of their stay. The greedy management claim they have allowed them to reschedule but both times lockdowns here and in Holland have stopped them travelling. As a group of students they are bound by term dates and the travel restrictions were beyond their control but the very unhelpful staff seem to prefer taking all of their money than attempt to reschedule.

The hotel room itself is designed so nicely and very quirky and modern. The room (unless requested not to) was cleaned everyday. The staff were super helpful. We had issues with our key not working on our first evening and we contacted staff who came back to the hotel and sorted that out (very grateful)! There’s coffee/tea and fresh water left out. My only recommendation would be for a mini fridge to be installed due to the fact the hotel doesn’t offer breakfast, a fridge would be perfect for milk for breakfast etc. The help sheet which the hotel provide is amazing! This hinted on the best restaurants etc and this really helped find some diamonds such as moeders which serves amazing Dutch food. Overall a beautiful hotel in a beautiful city!

I booked this hotel for my sons birthday, and the staff couldn’t have done enough for me I asked for a balloon , as some sort of decoration to mark the day , and also ordered a small cake to be delivered however when my son arrived the room had balloons and buntings everywhere .The staff had made a great effort on my behalf , and the cake was delivered from a beautiful cheesecake shop close by . I paid for the cake prior to the visit however the decorations were all the kind work of the Dwars Hotel’s staff . This hotel doesn’t have breakfast facilities but they will direct their visitors to the hidden gems in Amsterdam for great food away from the tourist areas A big thank you to all, and for the prompt replies to my messages Thanks Mags
