Excellent small hotel slightly away from the huddle and bustle of the city centre. Easy to reach by walking or tram. Near parks and museums with plenty of nearby restaurants to choose from.
The room was small but very clean. Coffee machine stocked up daily.
The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful.
Coffee and tea available 24 hours in the lounge / dining area.
Would stay here again. Highly recommend.

Charming quaint hotel situated right near Albert Cuyp. The hotel was in great condition & location was perfect - off a quiet street but close walking distance to the main museums, trendy cafes, restaurants & markets. Room was quiet, clean & comfortable. Friendly, professional, easy going front desk reception. The common areas were all very well maintained, the room although small, was perfect for our needs - also very clean & perfectly renovated with nice fixtures. My mom & I shared the family room for 4 pax - it was perfect for 2, as we got to have our own separate space in a small room. This is a not a budget hotel, rather $300 USD per night. The value was noticeable. We did not opt in for breakfast which is a separate fee but coffee & tea was included for hotel guests. Ease of check in & check out was a plus. Everything was pleasant - clean, modern, updated & fresh. Highly recommend Hotel Nicolaas Witsen & would absolutely return :)

Everything was great except for the ending. Location is great, very clean hotel , helpful staff and perfectly planned room for 3. We checked out at 11:00 and our flight was at 21:30, we were allowed to leaved stored luggage there until our flight time. We left the hotel then came back use restroom and rest for maybe total 15-20 mins before our flight! 19:00 and i guess it is a shift in the reception staff. The new guy comes in (bold man with tattoos with t-shirt and jeans where all others had formal clothing on) he asks us to leave!!! I repeated yes man we are leaving soon we are going to get all our bags and head out! He replied in a very rude way : listen to me u need to leave NOW!!! Cant you hear me? I said yes man i hear but we are on our way out!!! And me and my two friends are in shock as in what just happened! We collected our stuff and left peacefully but after a 5 day trip full of kindness from the whole city , there came Mr.cranky mood to ruin the moment! Recommended place but dnt mess with Mr.cranky guys haha.
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, cleanliness, helpful staff, and well-planned room for three.However, I am deeply sorry for the negative experience you had with a member of our reception team just before your departure. This is not reflective of the high standards of service we strive to maintain. Please accept my sincere apologies for the rudeness you encountered. We will address this incident internally to ensure such behavior does not occur in the future.Despite this unfortunate ending, I hope the overall positive aspects of your stay will encourage you to visit us again.Best regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

We had a fantastic stay for the weekend, the hotel was spotlessly clean and had great facilities. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was lovely with great choice and the options of hot food made fresh to order.
I would definitely stay here again 👍🏼

The room size is rather smaller than expected, not enough space to walk around if the luggage are opened. Overall is pretty clean and tidy. There are plenty of USB charging spots available which are very good for foreign travelers.
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing to stay at Hotel Nicolaas Witsen, Qiang Y. I’m glad you liked our USB charging spots in the rooms, all beds have a mini usb and a standard usb. I am sorry that you found the room a little small. We do have larger rooms available, which might be more convenient during your next visit. I hope to see you again soon. Wishing you a happy festive season and a wonderful 2024! Kind regards, Alex Roozendaal, General Manager

The room was compact, but it was very nice with a closet, shelves, desk, etc. There was a coffee machine in the room, but there was also a free coffee machine at the back of the front desk.

The hotel is conveniently located near the subway station and has a nice design, but the hygiene is not very good. It is dusty, there are no toothbrushes, and there is dirt on the bed. We stayed for 3 days and found red spots and itchiness on our bodies. I saw comments from previous guests saying that the hotel was unhygienic and caused the red spots and itchiness. Then, late at night, the fire system alarm suddenly went off, scaring me in my sleep.

The room is clean and the hotel supplies are relatively clean. The layout of the hotel in the city is relatively compact and the space is limited. If you have any questions, the hotel front desk will help you solve them.
The mattress and pillow are a bit soft, which is not something I am used to.

Excellent hotel
I would come back
Just a small downside, no parking for customers
And the parking is very expensive
Otherwise nothing to say about the hotel, very good 👍

WELL LOCATED, EXCELLENT RECEPTION STAFF, VERY GOOD HOTEL FACILITIES, THEY OFFER COFFEE OR CHOCOLATE TO GUESTS AT NO EXTRA COST. THE ONLY THING TO IMPROVE IS THAT THE MATTRESSES SINK A LITTLE BUT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND YOU CAN REST. I WOULD DEFINITELY REPEAT!!!
