very calm and peaceful-room large and very comfortable-clean- (except few noises in the pipes of the bah room between 7 and 10 at night but no real nuisance if you close the door of the bath room)- people at the desk very efficient and nice, especially the lady at the breakfeast who is so kind-By the way brekfeast is very...

"Hotel" seems to be an exaggeration for this establishment. "Hostel" would be more accurate. Upon entering the "hotel" the first thing that you see is a washing machine, & the smell of washiing powder is overwhelming!!"Hotel" consists of four townhouses, & our's (Room 20) was three doors down. There are 19 (very steep) stairs to the room, loose handrail, but... More

Stayed here for one night. Staff were very polite and let us go to our room early. Stairs are very steep and if you're on the top floor, they get steeper! No lift! Very peaceful hotel on a quiet street. Tram ride 15 mins to centre! Breakfast was good. They need to upgrade their bedding because a sheet with some... More

The receptionist advised, as they were busy, she'd just told two other (male) visitors who had booked online that they had to do the same...(bet they were as... More

However, as indicated by so many here, there are a lot and very steep stairs and no lift, so be aware with your luggage (as usual in Amsterdam). I have stayed here two times, and last time in a room with no shower/toilet, and... More

The room was nice and clean with a nice en-suite,i was on the... More

We spent a couple of days at the Hotel Washington. It's easy to find, right off the 16 or 24 tram from Centraal. Others have noted that it's a bit worn (true), and the stairs (an excellent introduction to the need for building codes), but our room was pleasant and clean. The breakfast in the morning is sufficient. There are... More
