Belfort Hotel

Not at all satistied

The hotel should be rated two stars instead of three. Poor quality matress (I could feel the springs), small room, poor location. I should have followed the advice from the other people that rated this hotel and stayed away from it.

Will Not Return

I have stayed at several hotels throughout Amsterdam. While the rooms at the Belfort are reasonably affordable, they are small, worn, and somewhat dingy. I will not stay at this hotel again.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

If you are visiting Amsterdam for pleasure, it may make sense to find a hotel in the Leidseplein. This is the central shopping / restaurant / nightlife area. While there are coffee shops in the area, the Leidseplein is family safe, far from the unsavory areas in Amsterdam.

Don’t do it !

Ok, the bathroom was clean, there was a flatscreen TV, and it is near the highway (if that is good for you) and a nice park (Vondelpark) and some ok neoighborhoody bars. Beyond that, it is all down hill. Tiny rooms (even for Europe), lot’s of noise, ancient carpets and decor with nail holde sin the wall where something had obviously been ripped out, as well as sketchy fellow cleints and staff made this an unpleasant experience. About a 15-minute tram ride to the centrum, but on the flips side, also only a 15 minute (but 32 euro) taxi ride tot he airport too. Ins hort, you can do beter elsewhere for the same or better money.

Traveler's tip on nightlife

Nearby Olso bar was fun if a bit trendy and overcroded.

A very uncomfortable hotel, not recommend to anyone

This is an extremely low quality hotel in Amsterdam. It was simply converted from a downtown apartment. The room is very small, and extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom is very small. There is no elevator, and you have to drag your belongs through a very narrow stairway. The revolving door is so narrow and it would not fit yourself and your bags. There were about 20 cigarettes buts in the balcony. I don’t know how Expedia would rate this hotel as 3 stars. It should have been a 1 (one) star, or no star at all.

convenient...but....

The location is right near a major tram route, so getting into the city proper was easy and quick. Breakfast was also good. It was a basic continental, but access to a panini maker made all the difference. Our room was a different story. It was a triple and small. Very. Small. Barely enough space between the beds and all I could think of while I was there was the old joke about going into the hall to change my mind. Oh, and the walls are very thin. You will hear everything. I had to go to the neighbors twice to tell them to shush. Granted they were only noisey boys, but still. So good location, good food, but not the cleanest or most comfortable.
