City Hotel Utrechtsestraat Amsterdam    

If you want a clean, functional and great value for money, choose the City Hotel on Utrechtsestraat. Right at Rembrandtplain, can't be beat. Two cute little dogs will greet you and the owner is a gem!

The hotel was perfect for us (4 boys on a weekend away) the room was big and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and all spoke very good english. The location is very good, with bars and pubs less then a minutes walk away. Overall it is a very nice hotel and good value for money.

Must say for the price the hotel was amazing! nicely located not to far easy to get about and friendly staff :) its located near Rembrandt Square, and has Mc Donalds close by as well as Burger king has Koffee shop right next door few mins walk theres a Tram/metro service in each direction. and best of all it's located next to Escape night club :)

I recently stayed here with my girlfriend. The double room was very clean and it included a private bathroom, where showers were always nice and warm with fresh towels provided daily. The staff are very friendly and were always willing to help and provide any information that we required. It is a very safe and secure place.It is located above a pub, 'old bell' which is very handy to pop in and have a drink. Also it is next door to 2 coffeeshops ( if that is something that would interest you, they are both really nice) Tram stop is directly outside the hotel and the supermarket is a short 5min walk.I will be visiting the Dam again next year (my 4th trip) and I will be booking this place to stay.A******** Mack, Ireland

On arrival, scaffolding covered the hotel so we were 'upgraded' to a big apartment next door; very good. The room was clean and large with a couple of rooms which was nice. There were 2 safes in the room, neither worked. This was a necessity for us as we had very expensive electrical equipment with us that we did not want to carry around all day with us everywhere we went, or leave in a room with no CCTV and minimal security. On speaking with the 'manager' in reception, he was very unhelpful. He made me feel like it was MY problem that they had 'lost' the key to the safe and could therefore not open or unlock it for us to use. Begrudgingly, the guy finally offered us the room upstairs. The other option was to "leave our stuff at reception where we could gain access to it between the hours of 9am and 6pm only". Strange! The hot water in the new room cut out and showed a fault on the thermostat which the manager could not fix himself and wasn't too bothered about so we had to wait for a handyman to arrive at 9am the next day. The experience was over-all very good and the hotel is not bad at all. However in a customer service industry with a lot of competition, you cannot afford to compromise on customer-service, especially when your the manager!

Stayed here for two nights what a spot rite over the rembrants plain the staff are really help full a free map if you need never had breakfast here but looked ok things to do coffee shops every were bars nite clubs has every think in this area nice food to be had here to if. Look around wok to go a really good take out .five min from all the shopping centers 10 min off the red lights area same with dam rack 15 min or so off central st number 9 tram to rembrants if you don't fancy the walk well hope this helps you with your stay Amsterdam enjoy

We stayed in this Hotel for 4 nights. We had booked a room and we had a small apartment with a kitchen. It was a nice surprise. The apartment was very clean too. We had a good stay. (sorry for my bad english)

. Room was what you would expect most of the staff were nice but we had a nightmare on the last day when they refused to let us in claiming our room did not exist. after 15 mins of trying to convince the senile old man on the desk to let me in i had to convince him that i was staying in the hotel by showing him my credit card id ect.... this did not work so i had to take the key from the desk myself and let my friends in that had been waiting outside for over an hour. There was no lock on the toilet door and no fan in the toilet. Also the total that i was asked to pay was 570gbp but for some reason unknown to me they charged 670 to my card?

Enjoyed our two nights in hotel,great location,good price, very nice staff, pity there was no cooked breakfast but what they had was very nice and fresh, would stay again no problem

The first problem encountered was on entry "Death by Stairs" if you think your fit, well try this with a hip replacement! These stairs were the better of 2 full-time aerobics/boxercise/karate champions so when I nearly passed out I welcomed it - lol. Though the staff were friendly and ever so helpful it didn't make up for the lack of....everything!! We had no kettle for the first 2 days, most of the towels were stained and the tea-towel looked like a outside floor cloth - ew!! The cleaner came and never cleaned - just changed towel and if she fancied the bin - daily towels were left on the dirty floor outside our rooms- now c'mon! Perhaps that were the stains came from?Our last nights included lost of screaming at the cheeky mice(s) that thought they had paid for the room. I stayed 4 days and left traumatised as I have musophobia. My friend and I spent the last 2 nights crying under the covers listening at all the scratching about the room. I will not be coming back!

I stayed in this hotel with friends in a triple room, for what it was, it was expensive. The bathroom was not en suite but we had a separate key to the bahroom two doors down the corridor, we had to remember to take the key to and fro. There are no lifts and getting to the second level after a day out walking was exhausting!The rooms were clean and the hotel staff were friendly.The location is central which was good, however it does get noisy at night when the city finally comes alive! Thanks to my ear plugs!

I stayed here while traveling around Europe with friends. We are all college students and were looking for an inexpensive place to stay. The City Hotel exceeded our expectations! Beds were extremely comfortable and the service was great! Everything was very clean too. The location was perfect. I would definitely stay at the City Hotel again!

The room was basic but we were just looking for a central base.Beds were comfortable enough.Only thing lacking was a kettle - having to boil water on the hob in the morning was slightly tedious! I need my coffee in the morning!I would definitely use it again for a group of friends going out to party.

Pros: Incredibly friendly staff, great location and good quality.... been to amsterdam more than 20 times and have stayed in hostels, through to 5 stars.... for a group holiday, i will now, never stay anywhere else..... i will be back....
Cons: Perhaps a rule about noise of doors slamming by other guests...

Pros: Great location to stay in amsterdam in the middle of everything.staff very nice and kind (they call me a taxi in the middle of the night).the only negative thing is the smell of cigarettes on all over the floor, but anyway positive because i'm a smoker (who doesn't like smell it everyday).at the end it was a plesure to stay there.

Pros: Surprisingly very quiet considering it was located directly on rembrandtplein. relatively small rooms, but for that price you can't expect too much. room was clean, but the towels resembled something like tissuepaper

Pros: The 2 room apartment is just perfect for the 6 of us(2 adults, 2 youth and 2 kids)the apartment is only a few doors from the actual hotel and coveniently located(rembrant) very near to restaurants, shops, entertainment. the only setback is the shower which can do better with higher pressure. about 8 minutes by tramp and 20 minutes walk from the central station. rooms in the apartment are all very clean, airy and bright. we also managed to prepare our breakfast of ham, bacon, eggs, bread and salad with the attached kitchen. my kids even voted this as the best of the hotels that we stayed over our trip to europe. opposite the apartment is an upmarket supermarket but i would not recommend it as its stocks are not to my liking and very expensive(can't find local beers there!!!!). would recommend to do your grocery at another very stock supermarket about 12 minutes walk (located behind a church). prices at this supermarket is very reasonable and you can get lots of stuff there. there are 2 tv but no wifi at apartment but guest can use the computer and assess to wifi at nearby hotel for free 24 hrs. the staffs at hotel are most friendly,helpful and ensure that all its guest are comfortable during their stay there. would like to specially thank the owners (dolch and daphne) who are the most friendly people that we have met during our trip, mr dolch is especially helpful, kind towards my family and very passionate in his work. he makes us very comfortable and accomodate our request to leave our luggages at the lobby till late in the evening(night train to zurich). we highly recommend this hotel/apartment to all and will definately stay in the same apartment if we ever revisit amsterdam.

Pros: Excellent location rooms clean an spacious friendly staff good all round and excellent value for money
