Amsterdam Wiechmann

"Had high hopes based on the reviews but unfortunately very disappointed. Pros: the location is amazing, great canal view Cons: - very bright in the rooms with the only curtains being sheer white which blocked minimal light making it very challenging to sleep past sunrise - very loud from the street - was visiting with a large group, some stayed at neighboring hotels and were not allowed even into the lobby to meet up. We were told no guests are allowed in the building whatsoever which was not advertised prior to booking and felt unnecessarily restrictive for paying guests - bed and furniture were old and not comfortable Would not recommend staying here if you value comfort, rest or flexibility"

"Booked 06/27-06/30 on 06/26 without free cancel, unfortunately the flight from LGW to ASM was cancelled due to severe weather, re-scheduled to 06/29, informed the hotel owner immediately for cancellation. When arrived 06/29, we asked for 06/29-06/30 stay, but the hotel refused to do it. They got our money of $504 (our 3 day reservation), but didn't want to give us just one night stay. What a hotel! SO SO TERRIBLE!!! If allowed, I want to give this hotel 0 or NEGATIVE 5!!"

"The greatest asset of this hotel is, without question, its exceptional location. It is perfectly situated for exploring Amsterdam, and the charming historic character of the building adds to its appeal. The reception area is clean, welcoming, and the staff are friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The breakfast is simple but perfectly adequate, offering fresh bread, croissants, boiled eggs, fruit, cereal, juice, tea and coffee. It is not extensive, but it provides a pleasant start to the day. That said, the guest rooms are extremely basic, especially considering the price. I appreciate that accommodation in Amsterdam is generally expensive, but I do feel the rooms would benefit from some thoughtful improvements. During our stay the temperature reached 33°C, and the lack of air conditioning made the room almost unbearable. A portable fan was provided, but unfortunately it was so weak that it made virtually no difference. I would strongly encourage the hotel to invest in proper, high-quality fans—or ideally air conditioning—as this would transform the guest experience during warmer months. The rooms are also missing a few simple amenities that many travellers appreciate: there is no kettle, no drinking glasses, and not even a waste bin, which was rather surprising. Housekeeping is provided every three days rather than daily, which is understandable, but the room facilities could certainly be improved. One additional observation concerns the staircases. While we had no difficulty using them, they would greatly benefit from a thorough deep clean. There is a noticeable months - build-up of dust in the corners and along the edges, which detracts from an otherwise charming historic property. Finally, during periods of extreme heat, it would be a lovely gesture to offer guests complimentary chilled drinking water in the reception area. Such a small touch would make a significant difference and would be greatly appreciated. Overall, this hotel has enormous potential thanks to its unbeatable location and pleasant atmosphere. With a little investment in guest comfort—particularly effective cooling, a few essential room amenities, and more attention to the cleanliness of the staircases, it could provide a truly outstanding experience."
