NL Hotel District Leidseplein

No air conditioning in the room. No working air movement in the bathroom. The hotel is on a main road which is loud, we booked this hotel a little way out of town so it would be quite. It wasn’t, the traffic didn’t calm down it 2 in the morning and was back in full flow just before 6am. With no air con, we had to have the window open sooo no sleep...we had the benefit of being in the basement room (2) with the only window being at floor height of the path next to the road. I loved the smell of piss, garbage and car fumes...oh and as we didn’t sleep on the night we thought we would catch up in between meetings in the day, which didn’t happen as the hotel had workmen remodelling in the day. So it was literally a building site. A complete nightmare which effect the entire trip. I will never stop here again. this review is not all, the bath wasn’t finished, there was a power cut, no reception staff, we had to climb over work men, the list goes on.

We had a great stay at this hotel. It was within walking distance of the centre and in a great location. We had a ground floor room with a small balcony which was lovely as we weren’t expecting it! The lady on reception was helpful and kind. The room also had a fridge which was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent accommodations. Comfortable bed. Clean room and bathroom. AC during the Amsterdam heat wave was a blessing!

This hotel was clean and in a great location. The canal view was nice. The staff were friendly. The room was small and simple, but not unexpected for Europe. It also had very steep stairs, but I was aware of this before booking.

The NL is typical of many hotels in the area of Leidseplein. Very close to the center, to museums, Symphony Hall, great restaurants and even a jazz club. I stayed in one of the basement rooms, which was VERY small, but comfortable, with a window looking out to a small patio that was only accessible to guests in another room. Unfortunately, they also used it as their smoking patio, so had to have the window closed most of the time. On the plus side, it was VERY quiet and I had no trouble sleeping, something that can be a problem in this part of town. Staff was very friendly and professional. There was no breakfast offered, though there are several cafes in the area.
