No frills budget hotel which is ideally located for the main tourist attractions. The associated bar and cafe is lively with a good menu offering local cuisine as well as staples such as a full English, burgers etc. There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room and some room photos are somewhat flattering but the shower was excellent with some basic toiletries provided. The continental breakfast is simple but there is plenty of it. The breakfast buffet area is tiny so avoid busy times if you can or you may have a long wait to toast your thin sliced loaf. Some staff can appear brusque at busy times but generally all were friendly.

The hotel is in a great location for exploring Amsterdam and our room was large and clean. The staff were very good to us when the lockdown happened on the Sunday evening of our stay. Even though all the restaurants in the city had to close, they said we could have dinner in their restaurant. The day we checked out they said we could pop in for a coffee as we were exploring Amsterdam and the cafes were all closed.

The food is either too expensive, or the portions are too small. For lunch I had the Buffalo Mozarella salad at cost of €17. Three slices of tomato, 3 slices of mozarella, some lettuce and dressing. Definitely not value for money. However the staff are great!

We unfortunately had to follow UK and EU advice for non essential travel to Europe for the next 30 days today. Plus the 4 of us work in the NHS therefore we are front line in the battle of covid19 here. This hotel were happy to keep our money for the hotel we paid for approx 450 to 500 pounds for 2 days accommodation but we told them we were unable to travel. They wouldn't even let us transfer to another date and pay the difference again. They took the full amount of money for nothing attending. They have no conscience at all. Disgraceful service when we should be all be helping at this awful time as we are staying here to work in the battle of this virus. Our other 2 friends booked a different hotel and have been given a full refund or exchange for a later date as the hotel is closing following advice as has the bars restaurants schools in amsterdam. Dont worry we wont be rebooking here EVER.

We stayed here for New Year, 3 nights. Me and my partner visit Amsterdam twice a year and have stayed in both hostels & hotels. We tend to stay right in the centre which this hotel was IDEAL for. Location excellent. However, the rooms & the staff are shocking. We were on the top floor, in a loft style room which is no problem. Yes the stairs are steep and it is a cardio workout to get up them but that's fairly typical in Amsterdam. The room was tiny for 2 people, literally could not swing a cat. The TV didn't work at all. 2 Occasions we informed staff members about this and it was promised that someone would come and look at it, this never happened. Secondly, our shower was disgusting. The shower head came off completely so we were left with a hose. The shower had no water pressure so it just treakled out of the end of the hose and we had to make do. Again we informed staff and we told that we were not the only one's with complaints but they did not know when the hotel manager would be in. The bed sheets were torn and my partner was more or less on a bare mattress. The sink got blocked, and then leaked. This leak carried on for the duration of our stay without being repaired. For the prices of the rooms i think Hotel Corner House need to seriously upgrade the facilities in the rooms, nothing fancy. But the bare necessaries in working order would be a start.

I stayed here with a group of friends last week and it was honestly the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. We complained but the lady said there was nothing she could do and that this was one of the better rooms! On arrival, the heating wasn’t on so our room was colder than outside and took a while to heat up. The main door had a good 2 inch gap at the bottom which meant there was a bad draught making it colder. The rooms were very dated and not at all modern or comfortable (other than our bathroom which was brand new to be fair) The curtains were filthy (I didn’t even want to inspect the bedding!) The windows didn’t shut, let alone lock. It was a noisy hotel and our room was next to a store cupboard which was used a lot by staff. The breakfast was very limited but ok. There was a sofa bed being stored messily in the corner of the room. Our key to the room stopped working 3 times which was frustrating. One window had no curtains and our view...well you can see for yourself on the pictures if you want to call it a view?! Overall, I would never stay here again, I would definitely not recommend this hotel, I didn’t feel safe or comfortable and I would love to know where the rooms were that are shown in the pictures?

I stayed with my daughter for 1 night. The evening we arrived there was no heating. The next morning there was no hot water. We only discovered this after my daughter had run the shower for 10 mins waiting for it to come through. When I reported it the manager he said he knew about it and that the whole hotel was affected (although no one had bothered to let us know). When I went to the bar area downstairs some while later (there is no reception, check in and out is through the bar staff on the ground floor) to discuss this and ask for compensation the manager said he would come to discuss it with me in my room and be up in 1 minute. I went back up there and waited, he didn't arrive so I went back to the bar and was told the manager was now in a meeting and could not be disturbed. I made it clear I still wanted to speak with him and could not understand why he had said he would come to talk with me and then blatantly hadn't. After I had collected our luggage and was checking out a short while later, having given up any hope of being able to have a shower, I asked again and was told the manager had now left the building! On returning home I complained to Booking.com who I had booked it through and they contacted the hotel. The response from the manager was that I had lied and that he had told me to meet at his office and I had never gone there. Booking.com are now asking if I can prove there wasn't any hot water! No details of how I am meant to prove it, although I have suggested they ask other customers from that day. While I know things can break and go wrong, what I find so appalling is that instead of apologising and making extra effort to inform and explain, the complete lack of concern or customer service given the situation. To be told I had lied about it is appalling.

The only plus I can say for this hotel is it has amazing location but the compliments stop there! We arrived off of our cruise ship early and wanted to leave baggage with hotel as we were too early for check in ….the guy we were dealing with was most unfriendly and told us this hotel doesn’t allow you to store ur baggage here….we had it in writing from several emails that the hotel would happily store baggage until check in time …he was not very happy to read this and relented begrudgingly…..we came back at check in time to be told we were on the 2nd and 4th floors and there’s NO LIFT! We couldn’t believe our ears….WE had to lug our heavy bags up the skinniest stairs that were almost going up vertically with absolutely NO help from staff…so dangerous…..it was dark and dank and more than a bit scary …the place is a labyrinth …if u have trouble walking or negotiating stairs this place is not for you….no where did we read when booking this establishment did it say there was no lift!! .. they need to let people know there’s no lift…. The rooms were also not as depicted there was only one extremely lumpy pillow each and a paper thin quilt…we asked for at least one extra pillow each and staff looked confused and said they didn’t think they had any more….they managed to find two more lumpy pillows and brought them to the room and handed us the pillow cases to put on ourselves lolol….not exactly hotel etiquette The wifi was minimal….,the add said too that there was breakfast included ….there was not! Very outdated hotel….bathrooms were not cleaned, no coffee or tea makings, not even a glass to have a drink out of but rather a dispenser with 2 plastic shot glass size cups that were not refilled….the beds were not made up rather just flung the quilt up over the lumpy pillows…sheets were itchy…no fridge…the tv was the size of a postage stamp The worst hotel we have ever stayed in….would I recommend….god no!! It wasn’t even a cheap hotel (tho it certainly felt like a cheapie) Awful experience just awful

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights late September. When we checked in we were given a room on the top floor at the rear of the hotel, which is the 4th floor. As many others have said the stairs are very steep and are not suitable for people that struggle. We’re not that old but we were really finding it difficult to make it up and down the steps even for 2 nights.
The room was facing the rear of the building with another building opposite so you could see in their kitchen and all you could see was the roof of another building. The room was small and the beds were very low but comfortable. The bathroom was small and the shower had no glass or wall so the water covered the whole of the bathroom, and there was no catch on the door!
We had breakfast in the restaurant below which was also very disappointing, the full English breakfast was small in size and very expensive but tasted great. We had 2 cups of tea which was basically 2 cups of hot water and 2 tea bags and a small tub of condensed milk and costs almost 10 euros just for the tea. We have honestly had better tea on the airplane.
The location was great and perfectly positioned in the centre , but sadly we would not use again.

Just stopped for a drink. Seating outside was a good viewing spot. It’s on a main road and you can watch bikes and trams zoom by. Inside bar area. There is a varied drinks menu which was more than adequate including hot beverages and alcohol. The ginger and honey tea was lovely. Huge slices of fresh ginger! Selection of wines and zero beers. Decent snack menu. We had mini Frikandellen and cheese fingers both very nice and €9.50 each. Glass of Merlot €5.80 (served in tumbler glass?) and cappuccino €5.30 so all quite reasonable. The outside seating can be a bit squashed and noisy but this was compensated for us by just being able to stop and stare and chat with friends. Would happily stop for refreshments if passing again one day.

Hi, breakfast was included in the price when I stayed there ~ 6months ago. It was a simple breakfast of cereals, toast, boiled eggs, deli meats and cheeses, juices, tea and coffee. Oh and fruit. It was plentiful and good value. A full breakfast including bacon, eggs etc could be ordered but was an extra cost. Other meals were great too.
There are more places to choose from in the Amsterdam area.
