Hotels near MokumBoat in Amsterdam

Amsterdam hotels are known to be very expensive, especially at key times of the year, so trying to find something of value, and comfort is always a big ask. The NL Hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the centre of the city and is a converted house. The space has been very well utilized, however it has some of the steepest stairs I have ever experienced! Not a problem for me, but could be a challenge for others. It does have an elevator you can use with your bags, but it's big enough for one person. My room was very small. Surprisingly, the bathroom was a decent size. The main benefit here is that you have your own air conditioning unit in the room which was very welcome. There's a Nespresso machine, however, just two pods per day is your limit! There's also a wall mounted TV and a small wardrobe. However in my room there was nowhere to sit apart from the bed. There is a panel on the wall that you can select whether you want your room made up or not, which is very, very bright at night, and be warned the stairs from the ground floor to the first are incredibly noisy, so if you are in a first floor room, you will hear plenty of noise from people coming up the stairs. Now I know why complimentary ear plugs are provided. Fresh towels are provided daily if you want them which was a bonus.

Location is in downtown area, close to clubs and restaurants and ******. You will surely stay in this hotel if you want to have more fun in Amsterdam.

Excellent location to anywhere you want to go in Amsterdam. If you’re mainly planning on using the room as a place of rest then it is perfect based upon its location. We were in a small double and it is small. We were using the room as a place to rest and sleep which meant that the room suited us. However you can’t open the bathroom door fully because it hits the bed so that should give an idea of how small the room is. Not necessarily a negative for us but may be for others. We had a pleasant stay for 3 nights with friendly staff but sleep was restless due to thin walls and outside noise. Staff were very accommodating at check in and check out for looking after our bags whilst we wondered around the local area before accessing our rooms and heading for our flight.

The good: First and foremost, the staff. All very friendly doing their best to help with any problem that may arise, whether it has to do with your stay at he hotel or not. Good location, close to the museum quarter, five minutes' walk to the tram station that goes to Dam square and the train station, in a quiet residential street. OK: Rooms are very small and compact, but that seems to be the general situation in Amsterdam, and if you're out all day seeing the sights then it's not a deal breaker. The bad: Housekeeping needs to get their act together. Checked in, went up to the room, entered the bathroom and was greeted by a very strong smell of mildew or something similar. Fortunately I was immediately given another room without any argument. Went up to the room, entered the bathroom, and noticed that one of the overhead lamps was not working. Took a shower and found that there's a drainage problem with the water draining so slowly that I had to shut the water flow so as not to have water overflowing onto the floor. Nothing tragic, and it was all fixed the next day, but one would think that the job of housekeeping is to take care of these problems BEFORE the guest checks in, not after.

It is ideally located within 1 km of Amsterdam Dam Square. There are GVBs on the 2nd and 12th lines at the door, and there is a train every 3 minutes or so. Take the 2nd and 12th roads to Amsterdam Central Station and take the INTERCITY train to all parts of the Netherlands. Because it is the core area of Amsterdam, the price is relatively expensive. Hotel facilities are old, but fortunately this time is around June, there is no air conditioning in the room, I don't know if I can still treat people in the summer. . . There is no elevator in the hotel, and it is very difficult to carry large luggage. There is no electric kettle in the room. If you need to drink hot water, you have to go to the building. The front desk staff will use the key to turn on the water heater to get hot water. In general, apart from the high prices, others are not ideal. . .

We had booked a Cosy room and that’s what we got, not very big but big enough for our needs. The room was also very clean and beautifully decorated. We were able to check in to our room early and we had a room on the second floor facing the Rijksmuseum. This meant we were also facing the construction site. This was a worry at first but realistically they didn’t start work until after 10am and we were awake by this point anyway. The hotel is in the Museum district so is close to many great museums, it is also a short walk from Vondelpark which is beautiful and a great place to ride a rental bike. It is on the top edge of Central Amsterdam and everything is within walking distance including many cafes and restaurants.. The hotel staff were all friendly and a nice cleaner helped us to work the aircon. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I find myself back in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Also, for anyone that is curious the tap water is lovely. We filled out bottles every day before venturing out.

We stayed with a Rick Steve's tour group. This company is clear to advise you that you will be staying in moderate European hotels on their tours, meaning they may have limited or no air conditioning, may have street noise, may be small, etc. This hotel had all of these drawbacks. Again, this was as advertised to us but something other U.S. travelers may want to know as the standards are very different. The unadvertised problem with this hotel is that it is dirty. We had two rooms, both of which were sloppy or sticky when we arrived and got no better with housekeeping. Both rooms had dirty linens, to the point of being stained; full of hair and other flotsam; and smelling bad in one of the rooms. I actually tied a pajama top around my pillow hoping to lessen the smell of it. They were working on housekeeping throughout our stay so I don't know where the disconnect was. We don't normally stay at hotels at this classification but it's a part of the tour culture for this company. We have been on several tours with them previously so knew what to expect and how to adjust our expectations. We tried to roll with this place hoping it would just make for a funny story but ultimately could not tolerate it; we checked out early and paid for another hotel. I don't think I've posted a hotel review in a decade, that's how unpleasant it was. There are plenty of other poor reviews here, including from other people on Rick Steve's tours so it's not a one off. I'll be sharing my unhappiness with the company in the hopes they change hotels. I understand they have a long relationship with them but we are too far past COVID restrictions for this to be tolerated. If you aren't with a tour group there is no reason to stay here. On the positive side it is very centrally located and the staff were okay. Relative to some other hotels in this category we stayed at it was modern. It just isn't clean.

The Melrose is perfectly located for a visit to Amsterdam especially if you want to walk. You can easily walk to the Dam, the various shopping areas and the museum district, and you are right beside the boutique 9 streets shopping area. The Leidestraat restaurant area is also an easy walk There are heaps of cafes and food places within a block in any direction.. The rooms are small but not uncomfortable. We would certainly go back.

This a very nice hotel and is a great location. Don't let the entry and ”lobby” scare you off, it is VERY tiny, but the rooms are not. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom was a good size as well. There was an AC unit in the room that we could control and were able to run the AC at night. We had a corner room and I think that might have given us a little more space. The street it's on seems busy during the day, but it is quiet at night and outside noise was not an issue. The location is great. It was central to everything we were doing while we were visiting and is near the museums, restaurants and bars. The front desk person gave us the BEST recommendation for a breakfast restaurant that is right by the hotel - Ted's and reserved a taxi for us when it was time to go to the airport. You'll need to reserve the taxi the day/night before. If you let them know what time you need to leave, they will make the arrangements with the taxi company. I would stay here again.
