Hotel location
Evaluations of Nicolaas Witsen
hotel location
too narrow room and stairs there was a mouse in the basement
location good public transportation closeby small, cosy hotel
expensive
Every member of the staff with whom I interacted was very friendly and pleasant.
nice hotel for a resonable price. Nicely located
Sometimes you can hear the noice of the tram
Clean rooms, reasonable price, staff are quite friendly and helpful, good location (close to the tram station but also quiet since its not on the main road)
Rooms are pretty small (so are the bathrooms), you have to pay for the locker (5 EUR with 30 EUR deposit), you have to give the keys to reception and therefore you can't be sure about your belongings in the room and the safe is too small to put things like laptops
Location in Amsterdam very usable
Room tiny
friendly service
A few minor items Forgot my wake-up call, a toilet brush recommended Room on the small side but OK
Optimal location in the city, good access to public transportation, clean but small bathing room. My room (3),directed to the courtyard was rather quite. Nice breakfast with excellent coffee.
Very small bathing room, but very clean. Room 3 was located on the ground floor toward the courtyard, a view (from and into this room) and location rather unconventional (to state it this way, although I liked it). The pictures on the website did not represent (at least) this room. Very soft mattress.
Location is good // quiet neighbourhood
Room extremely small // bed/matrace in bad state
The staff was very friendly and competent. They helped me get into a room early after an all night flight. It was very clean.
The glass recycling is outside the hotel and it was very loud. You can also hear everything going on in the hallway as the doors are flimsy. General feeling of cheapness.
