The property was awful, there was a plastic bag covering the smoke detector, mould in the bathroom and the bathroom stunk. I have never witnessed anything so bad in my life. I refused to stay in the property and i have been refused a refund. Totally unacceptable

Nice Amsterdam Stay
A nice clean, comfortable, and convenient location for our stay. No frills or particular ambience, but basic and a good value. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Great neighborhood with many options for dining and walking. Close to Vondelpark and Tram route. Would recommend.

My wife and I booked a room at this hotel, and there are a few reasons we ended up finding a different hotel to stay in after we stayed one night out of three. First, the street it's located on is busy/loud at all hours of the night. Two, they did not put us in a room without AC during a bout of 90 deg F temps. The room had a window that would only open 2 inches because the bed was in front of it. This means very limited airflow and the window needed to be open to the loud street for any hope of cooling off the room. Three, the shower was tiny and the condition of the room was poor. Overall I would stay away from it as there are many other choices in Amsterdam.

The staff/owners were very nice. This hotel had very steep stairs and it was very very hard to use them! No air ! And it was hot!!!!!! And the staff was unwilling to supply an extra fan even. I would not suggest using this hotel if you can not handle steep winding stairs and no air conditioning.

I read in a previous post there were no lifts and you had to use the staircase to get to the room, which wouldn't have been a problem, but the stairs were narrow and winding, difficult when you have luggage. The room was a lot smaller than expected and the bathroom. A comfortable stay for 1 night and convenient for trams.

The hotel was ok. Nothing special. We had ants for the three nights we were there. Told the front desk and they just said “oh. I’m sorry”. I understand that it’s not their fault, but it’s not fun waking up in the morning with ants crawling on your arm. The bathroom was incredibly small. My son is 6’2 snd could barely fit in there. The breakfast was supposed to be until 10 so we showed up at 9:30 and everything was pretty much gone. I think it was 12 euros. My friend is vegetarian and couldn’t eat anything except toast and cheese. The location is great but wouldn’t stay there again.

The hotel was selected mainly for the location as I wanted to be very near to transport services. This is very easy to find and a few mins walk for the bus/ tram stops Be aware that the stairs are extremely steep and very narrow and there isn’t a lift Just a minor niggle but the water in the shower unit didn’t immediately clear and I stopped my shower as I wasn’t sure how close I was to flooding the bathroom Staff for check in/out were very friendly and helpful

Staff was nice. Janitor was always nice and made very clean result. The location is not the best but the transportation to everywhere was convenient. Also, the location is in residential area, so it was more quiet than in the city centre. Unfortunately, there was weak soundproof in our room. We could hear everything from neighbour rooms, hallway and outside hotel. Also, bathroom is in need of renovation. However, shower and sink worked fine. All in all, we liked the stay and the location.

Budget hotel good for travelers without a car
This hotel is small with very steep stairs to the room and no parking associated with hotel. Our description listed "parking available" and it was a major factor why I chose them. (There is neighborhood parking during the day for a hrly fee and free overnight) but there is no security. The front desk help was completely clueless about neighborhood parking rules and didnt seem to be worried that we were very disappointed and anxious about our rental car. We had to figure it out on our own. The room had a shower with part of the glass enclosure missing that was covered by a curtain. Overall the room was clean but had a youth hostel feel and was not worth the price.

Great location in the Museum district with a tram outside the door and near to a stop on direct bus service from airport. Lots of good restaurants, bars and cafes nearby and close walk to many attractions. Our room was a little compact and the bathroom very small but for the overnight stay we had it was perfectly OK. the staff were very helpful with local information and breakfast was a good buffet for 12.50 euros. a very quiet location even with the trams.

Clean and good sized space. Poor design— hard to access the mirror, very dim lighting, not much air circulation, can’t walk beside beds. Many of the bikes were broken and despite trying several and returning early we were not able to receive a refund. Tried to give us the same broken bike twice. Somewhat disorganized staff. Overall, not bad.

In terms of taking tram, it is a good location. But the floor is so filthy. The pictures does on Expedia web does not represent the reality at all. We checked in, found out safe has does not work, has no battery, and the toilet splash its water whenever you flush it. The next day we present the issue to the front desk, the lady took out batteries and trying to fix the safe. 2pm we came back found out the safe is still not working and the room is not cleaned at all. We went to the front desk again. The guy said “oh we should give you the key, and the guy who checked you in is an idiot”. When we explained the toilet problem, he said it is normal when the water pressure is wrong. So I suggested you should at least giving a bottle of sprayed sanitizer there because it is the toilet water splashing out. He said no because no one complained about this before. I sincerely request Expedia give credit or refund for this kind of service. We didn’t book such a shabby hotel and service!

Avoid if you can!
Steep steps to the second floor, and hair everywhere. If they put you in room 12, run a mile. Right at the top of the building, at the top of some very steep stairs, and with a damp problem so bad it made a birthday card soggy within 48 hours. They did move us to room 4 after I asked to be moved but no apology was given, and they had tried to suggest we were at fault, and basically made us pack up immediately so they could move us into another room. When doing this I discovered a slipper under the bed that didn't belong to us. I left it where I found it, but it was moved with our belongings... Room 4 looks out onto the street, where works began on the tram lines at 7:30am. We were also awoken by late check-ins (our room was above reception) and the fan of another room I think, as well as hearing a child running overhead while we were trying to sleep. The pillows were appalling and we've both got bad necks as a result. The bedding in room 4 was holey. I would 100% avoid this place, as it not only ruined my partner's birthday but our first holiday in 3 years, as I've had to spend a lot of time dealing with this through hotels.com as well as at the hotel. Currently waiting on a resolution, but there is never a manager available to talk with hotels.com.

Staff are very accommodating and helpful with a smile. They will do what they can to make you as comfortable as possible. Rooms are basic but comfortable, except the bathroom is tiny which is standard for budget European rooms. In my room, you had to turn sideways and squeeze into the shower because the sink blocks one of the doors. Area is a neighborhood perfectly situated close to Tram 2 stop and Museumplein without being in a bustling area. The owners are extremely kind and genuinely enjoy helping travelers. Would stay here again.

The Apple Inn Hotel was a clean and pleasant property. It was great to get a hotel that could accommodate a family of 5 in one room. The hotel is situated in a beautiful part of Amsterdam where the character of the city can be seen in the old buildings. The staff were very helpful and created a relaxing mood, just what is required at the start of a holiday. I would use the Apple Inn again if I return to Amsterdam.

Short Changed.
When we arrived we were informed of extra taxes that I had to pay & feel these taxes should be part of your quoted prices! The room was actually and realistically a bit small for 4 people travelling with bags. From pictures advertised the room seemed bigger! Light fittings hanging off the walls! Shower leaked! The flooring outside the bathroom was lifting and we tripped over it a few times!I had brought this flooring matter to the hotels attention on day one and nothing was done about it.

In your rate is no local tax or city tax included. This information should come from your travel agency and in case she did not provide it to you , you should complain of the incorrect billing information. A family room is a little small for four adults better booked two double rooms sudden now in this time of the year , low saison. Maintainance depends on the issue , it is not always as easy as changing a lamp .

This hotel was chosen for being in a location near and event we were attending. Most importantly, on this occasion, it was important to us to be able to travel by car and the hotel's listing implied that self parking for a surcharge was available at the property. On arrival we discovered that there is no parking except on the street outside which would cost nearly 50 euros for 24 hours. The person reception assisted in making a booking at a parking facility around a kilometre or so any which turned out to be an outdoor carpark at the Hilton. This cast an unfortunate negative on our experience.

Dear guest, We have texted 'self-parking' not parking in the accommodation. We have help you finding a park spot,next to the hotel for 23,50 euro for 25 hours cheaper as the 30 euro mention. We do not understand your exitement. We have solved your problem professionally and cheap ,what can a guest from abroad wish more in a strange city. Kind Rgards, Chang

They took advantage of our bad English
Very disappointing. We asked if the breakfast was included at the reception and they said yes. Then the last day we ended up with a bill of €40 for breakfast. I feel they take advantage of tourists who don’t speak good English. If the breakfast costs €10, it should say so at the restaurant or at least let us know or charge it in advance. One of us only had a tea and she was still charged €10. We would have chosen to have breakfast in a cheaper place otherwise.

Good base and transport advice
Apple Inn was a good base for our visit to Amsterdam, in a quiet location and good transport links to the city centre a short tram ride away. The staff gave us valuable information about the park and ride discount. Only criticisms were the size of the ensuite and the net curtain for the large bedroom window which needed to be washed.
