Best Western Leidse Square Hotel Amsterdam    

This was probably our sixth visit to this wonderful city but our stay here was not the best. I had booked a superior room, opting for a little more luxury. However, we were shown to a smallish room which was not what I would call superior in any way. In fact, a member of our party who had just booked into an ordinary room and had paid considerably less, had a far better room. Having had time to consider the matter, I went down to reception to air my grievance. To be fair, the receptionist on duty did do everything possible to assist me and assured me that I would get a better room the next day. When asked what the difference was between the rooms, she said it was just the air conditioning. I'm afraid my interpretation of a superior room does not begin and end with air conditioning, it actually means perhaps a bigger room or better equipped. Our room did not even have a bath, whereas our friends' room did. The location of the hotel was not bad; around three minutes' walk to the nearest tram stop.

Stayed at this hotel for one night - the room was clean and the shower-room was modern and clean. Staff in reception are very friendly and helpful. Good location but you need to take a tram or taxi to get to the train station. My only gripe was the bedroom walls are paper thin and I was kept awake half the night with noisy young lads who had been at a concert.

The room I was given was quite small but it had everything to make it a nice stay. The night was very cold but the central heating worked very well. It had also airco in case required. The shower was a bit small but good enough for a night. All amenities present as well. A big place to store the luggage, a good closet for clothes, a big flat screen tv and tea and coffie amenities. The bed was lovely and all was nice and clean. Breakfast is great with lots to chose from at a very good price. All in all, a great stay.

When we arrived we were allocated a small twin room when I had asked for a double bedWe changed to a bigger room with a double bed but it had not been cleaned and was not really fit for customersThe heating the first night did not come on until 6.30 and it was cold! They had some problems with the heating.On the plus side the bed was very comfortable

Better instructions on how to get to the place would be helpful. Best to got either road to the side of Marriot hotel that you canclearly see from just about anywhere on Leidesplein. Helpful an friendly staff, super comfy bed, room small but adequate for a single just sleeping there. Watching TV in your room seemed to be extra. Free PC with internet access by reception was very helpful.

The room was perfect, clean and had wonderful roof top views over looking the neighborhood. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. There was plenty of space for us and all of our things. There is a quaint little bar in the hotel which is nice to come home to after a long day strolling and site seeing in the city centre which is only a few steps away.

This hotel was in a great location for the museums and best surrounding amenities such as canal boats and Vondel Park. It was easily accessed from the 197 bus outside the airport. Recommend not to use the train as the bus is cheap, runs every 15 mins and takes you to the best stop for all the hotels.The hotel is clean and tidy although only has one lift which can get busy and the stairs are too steep to use. The room is basic but clean and towels changed each day. The hotel front is draped in scaffolding but no work seemed to be going on. Breakfasts were ordered at 7.50 euros at the hotel and although not amazing good rate and very well organised.The bar staff were very friendly and as English is so well spoken all kinds of advice is given.

Hotel was ok, there was work being carried out to hotel at time of our stay, I would not have been too bothered had I had been told at booking but I felt a little embaressed as I had booked for 14 people and was a little dissapointed as was my party to see the front of the hotel fully covered in blue tarpaulin. Service in hotel was fantastic, staff are very helpful. Rooms are basic but clean. Hotel location is good, not right in centre but only a short walk.

Great hotel .great location easy to get to with tram only 2.70 a ticket.Lovely area lots of pub and food places. easy walk from hotel to dam square.The hotel has a little bar . Good service. very helpfull staff.Rooms are not very big but does the job.

Stayed for three nights and the hotel was great value for money . Superb location about twenty minutes walk to the centre , loads of resteraunts and bars nearby . The room was very clean and spacious , a special mention to the receptionist Floor she was very helpful !!I will definately be staying again sometime this year .Only critisism is there was no sausages for breakfast , that's being very picky I know he,he .

Pros: Good location , big rooms friendly stuff and nice breakfast.
great value for your money . hotel is located in a very center place easy to reach any point of interest in amsterdam.

Pros: Awesome breakfast, clean rooms, perfect location.

Pros: No complaints whatsoever. the hotel looks better than the pictures it has online. two thumbs up. will definitely recommend it.

Pros: The location of the hotel was excellent with 4 trams passing nearby . 3 of these went directly to centraal station and tram tickets can be purchased at the station for 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. hotel was also central to the rijksmuseum and the pc hoofstraat, a great designer shopping street. the leidseplein is a lively area with bars. hotels and restraunts . it is also possible to walk to the centre of amsterdam from the hotel along a pededtrianised street, that is, apart from the trams which can appear quite quickly!!
Cons: Where, oh where was christmas in this hotel??? no sign of trees, decorations, no lights or candles. very disappointing atmosphere. the room , a superior one as requested, although quiet, clean and comfortable, had little by way of style due to the very basic, functional furniture. ikea meets b and q. the bathroom was clean and tidy but the towels were tired and thin with a hole in one of them. breakfast was available at 7.50 euro each per day and the bacon was cold and the eggs were rubbery and totally unpalatable. i took the boiled egg option the first day and they were fine but the second day. they were cold and runny. there was tinned fruit cocktail althought there was fruit to take away. when i complained about the eggs and bacon the receptionist deducted the cost of 2 breakfasts which was ok.

Pros: The room was not like the picture and we were slightly disappointed by this. we asked for a double room and ended up with a twin room.

Pros: Great wee hotel very bizzy and freindly

Pros: Clean room and bathroom, polite staff, luggage storage room before/after checking in/out,cozy atmosphere
Cons: I did't experience anything negative.
