Die Port van Cleve Hotel - Amsterdam

this hotel was certainly not a proper 4 star hotel along the lines of how you and i would define it, not by a long stretch of the imagination. It was shabby, cramped, and had decor that would have been considered to be out of date in the 1960's. The staff were generally indifferent and the room was appalling. The whole experinence was so unpleasent that i will never forget it, nor repeat it. A disgrace.

Stayed in the hotel for a weekend and have no complaints about the hotel, checked in very early and room was ready. Lift worked which helped as i was on crutches, Ideal location and very quiet at night, and i was there for a football match so lots of fans about. No view out of the small high window of dam square but cant complain really, All in all a very enjoyable stay and staff were most helpfull. Pricey food though so ate out for all meals.

Die Port van Cleve Hotel is an old building with plenty of character. The staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous. The hotel is very centrally located with Dam Square literally less than two minutes walk away. This is very handy when you are visiting especially for the first time as all activity seems to gravitate towards Dam Square if you are unsure of your whereabouts when out and about. My only criticism would be the size of the room we stayed in, it was very small with no view at all. However, size of the room aside, I would recommend this hotel due to its location and friendly staff.

This hotel is in a very good location, literally across the road to Dam Square. Room was a good size as was the bathroom. Room was abit tired looking and the beds weren't that comfortable. We only had bed lamps for light. It was quite noisy in the late afternoon/night but seemed to quiet down eventually. Overall, not bad! Everything we needed for 1 night.

we visited this hotel 2 years ago and the standards were much higher- attentive staff at check in, concierge, excellent restaurant service and attached bar open all day. hotel now dirty, tired in need of re furbishment- room that we stayed in very small, basic overlooking other rooms! bar closed- only open evening hours- restaurant o.k but expensive- limited menu.

We chose this hotel as it was the same company as the Artemis Hotel which we had stayed in Oct 08 and really enjoyed. Both hotels were nice & clean (I'm fussy too!). Die Port van Cleve Hotel was right next to Dam Square which suited us better than Artemis as that was a bit of a distance away. The price was not much more than you would pay for a 2* in the city so it was well worth it!!! Staff were friendly and the room was spacious, clean and private. Room service was of a good standard. Overall the hotel was really nice and we will return in future.....

Very pleasant hotel based just off Dam Square and therefore extremely close to all the main attractions, shopping streets and town centre. The room was well furnished and perfect for our needs, the hotel also had a bar and restaurant if you didn't want to venture out. I think this is an excellent base for a weekend in Amsterdam, but in terms of value for money I suspect you could find cheaper places to stay in the centre without losing too much in terms of comfort.

I knew this Hotel from eating in the Restaurant on a previous trip to Amsterdam. The food was great so when I saw the hotel had rooms at an unbelievable price I was expecting something special. In life when something seems too good to be true it often is and so when I got to my room i was not surprised that the room was just about the smallest Ive ever stayed in. BUT it was clean and the hotel is well located. So the price charged was Fair.

Hotel was clean, and comfortable and staff was friendly. Overall it was a pleasent stay.

Access to room was via a very narrow winding staircase. Very difficult to get suitcases up and down the stairs. Walls badly marked given the difficulty that guests have had. No ventilation in bathroom, so walls and ceiling heavily coated in mould and paint flaking off ceiling in a big way. Major renovations taking place next door at time of stay. Woken at 7am by hammering and drilling on the other side of my bedroom wall. Only comments by hotel representative were that there was no maintenance work being undertaken at the time and that fire and health and safety regulations are met - "lots of Amsterdam hotels are old and have narrow staircases".
