“my first city break”

this hotel was adequate for our requirements. it was clean, just big enough and the people were friendly. I would certainly go back.

“Basic yet cheap and cheerful... I have booked a second stay”

Looking at some of the other reviews you wonder what some people expect from a two star hotel in a capital city and only 5 minutes away from the centre of the city's nightlife. THIS IS A BUDGET HOTEL FOLKS! Seriously, basic facilities, small rooms and a little tired looking. That said, good value if all you're looking for his a place to sleep.

“Great for the price”

If you are expecting the Hilton then you will be dissapointed but if you are like me and would rather spend your money on the activities that Amsterdam has to offer instead of the room then this is a good place to stay. I liked the staff and they were friendly and efficient. Other guests were easy to get to know, and I enjoyed the close location to many good restaurants and night clubs. Public transportation was close by and the airport is only a 20 minute drive. The beds were small but the room was quiet , neat and clean and had plenty of hot water. I would definatelly stay here again

“Perfectly adequate”

Absolutely fine for the cost , no problems at all.

“Not bad for the money”

I don't have anything glowing to say about the hotel, but nothing bad either. It served its purpose. I liked its close proximity to the Van Gogh Museum and Leidseplein Square. The night staff wasn't overly helpful, but the day shift was great. I'd consider going there again.

“Quentin England - Your No-Frills Classic European Inexpensive Hotel”

I stayed at Quentin England from May 29 through June1, 2011. It is an old hotel in an old building on a quite street just north of Vondelpark. There are no lifts. Therefore, with my room number being 412 (that's the fifth floor in European lingo), arriving and leaving with a full suitcase that I had to carry up five flights of stairs was a bit of a challenge. I also had shared bathroom facilities on the fifth floor. There is no air conditioning. But, it was not needed and probably would not be for most of the year. It is a 15-minute walk to the Leidseplein where one can access virtually any needed tram route. The staff told me 5 minutes. But, I have learned to discount European peoples' walking distance estimates; they walk faster than I do. Quentin England provided free internet access and a daily breakfast for seven (7) Euro. The staff was accessible, polite and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

“I will stay here again”

First, I should say that I don't expect much from a hotel other than a comfy bed and running water (especially in Europe). I stay at less-expensive hotels so that I get to travel more. Quentin England Hotel exceeded my low expectations considering the price. The bed was comfortable, the room and the hotel were reasonably clean and the bathroom was adequate. The only complaint that I had was the fact that there was no elevator in the hotel. And, as a guy, I had to carry all of our bags up the stairs which was a pain...but not the worst thing I've had to do in my life. At the same time, the location of the hotel (walking distance to tourist attractions, but far enough away to be quiet at night) made up for the lack of an elevator. 1 1/2 thumbs up if the price is reasonable.

“Cheap and Cheerful”

Good value for money, not too far away from the hustle and bustle of things. Would use again.

“Excellent for no-frills travelers who want a safe, convenient place to saty”

My husband and I recently stayed in a double at the Quentin for a few days. We are very low-maintenance travelers, simply seeking a clean, safe and affordable place to rest when not wandering the city. Quentin's location is phenomenal. The room furnishings are a tad shabby, but the bed and linens were clean and I felt very comfortable during my stay. It can be noisy in your room as others move about. Our door opened right into the stairwell, so we could hear anyone passing by. Were very pleased to have an ensuite bathroom (European-style shower, but we expected that). Front desk staff was friendly and helpful with our questions. Wifi did not work on my phone in the room, but worked for my husband's, so it may just depend on what you use. I was able to access wifi in the main common room. You will need to put down a 20 euro deposit to use the hair dryer or tv remote. Phones only receive calls, you cannot make any outgoing. These are all little things that remind you how you are saving money off the total fee. Quentin England was just right for our purposes.

“Basic but ok”

The hotel is located at where I think of as the "Start" of the main city,if you have a travel card like me you can get on a tram and be anywhere in the city in 2 mins... The room its self was very basic but for the price what do you expect... I didnt spend much time there, really just somewhere to sleep and for that it did the job. There was an ensuit, TV, bed and desk but not much else! All in all if you just want a private place to sleep and shower and are planning on spending most of your time in the city then I would reccomend it but if you will be spending time in your hotel and want more than a very basic place to sleep I would say spend a little more.
