    Hotel is far from the central tourist area,you need to walk up to 20 minutes to get there. Very steep stairs dangerous to climb up or down. Room is just a bed small closet and tiny table. Room service is bad. No cleaning the room just emptying garbage. If you can book somewhere else.

    You can't expect too much from the hotel with 2 stars. The room we got was clean, towels were fresh so all seemed to be good enough. Nice bonus was the little balcony we had, not so nice were stair that lead to the first floor. Can't imagine negotiating them even slightly intoxicated. Good enough hotel within good distance to the city centre.

    Nice hotel in a great location. The beds are comfy and pillows are really cushy. They have a great breakfast buffet that costs 9,50 euros. Good deal. The only problem is the really steep stairs. Try to get a room on the lower levels.

    My stay at the hotel was OK. Not the best but not the worst. I like the price I got, which imo was very convenient in comparison other options nearby. Also the room was pretty comfortable, clean, and I did enjoy staying in there. The accommodation staff were very friendly with guests. The only issue with the room is having the toilet outside, which it was not such a problem for me. What really annoyed me was the treatment of the receptionist on the day of my check-in. I was waiting for it as soon as I got to the hotel (after 3pm) and the receptionist asked me wait, which I did in front of the desk (it’s not a problem for me). After 3-5 minutes, she closed to me and told me loudly “YOU HAVE TO WAIT, TAKE A SIT!”. The way she said that was very inappropriate, that tone and words I would use it for a dog, not for a guest. She literally made my day worse. I guess the language issue was a factor for such a impolite treatment (I guess she is a foreigner), and also having myself waiting for my check in was a (my only) bad experience. Lucky me I did not have to deal with her anymore. The opposite situation happened with the girl who helped me with the check-out, which was very attentive.

    Hotel Iris is located several minutes away from the nearest metro station. It was not as clean as we expected it to be. The drainage system in the shower works very badly and it takes several minutes to drain the water after every one minute of showering. It was also expensive for a hotel of this standard. The good thing is that the staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend if you just need a place to sleep in.

    I'll begin with the only good thing about this hotel, which is the location. You can easily walk to the museum district or central Amsterdam from there. The rest was awful. The room was TINY. The bed took up most of the space, there was no chair or table. The sink was next to the bed, the shower next to the entrance. No complimentary shampoo or shower gel, just soap dispensers like in a public toilet. Nowhere to hang your towel other than with your coat which I think you'll agree would be far from hygienic. The toilet was outside, in the corridor, and it was so small it's difficult to sit down if you're a bit taller or bigger. Also, it had no sink, only a disinfectant dispenser. Seriously? This is what you get for over 100€ per night outside of season? After checking in we also realised the safe was broken and - since it couldn't be fixed straight away and they refused to move us to another room - we had to walk around with our valuables (or waste an entire afternoon). The heating was off the first two days and it was already getting quite cold. We only got one key and when I asked for another one (since we were 2 guests) they requested I pay extra 2€ "because we might lose it" but it wasn't refundable in case we didn't. Upon check in we were informed that the cleaning service is carried out daily between 11 am and 2 pm and if we don't want our room to be cleaned then we need to put the sign out during those hours. One day we had the sign hanging out and only took it down when leaving the room slightly after 2 pm. Having returned, we were surprised to see the room cleaned, but we didn't mind. However, on the following morning I realised that a Primark paper bag containing part of my lingerie had gone missing. I had left it right next to my suitcase (yes, on the floor, since there was no wardrobe in the room) but it shouldn't have been treated as garbage since it was neither on, nor right next to the bin, and the contents certainly didn't look as waste. I took it to the reception desk and the receptionist talked to the cleaning lady, but she claimed she didn't remember. The whole situation was quite awkward and to be honest I didn't want to know whether the bag had been taken intentionally or thrown out accidentally but I wanted be reimbursed for its contents which the owners eventually declined, claiming I was lying. I've worked and stayed at many hostels and hotels and believe me, Iris was the worst of them.

    It's a great location near to the metro, trams and the museums . The hotel is clean but tired , the beds are very comfy and if you make sure to listen that no one else is taking a shower (listen for running water ) the shower is very good. We had room 17 at the top it's really quite sweet and has a view over the back garden which is lovely.

    Excellent hotel and beautiful rooms. The building is clearly new. Everything was so beautiful and correct. The room size is very good for two people. The bathrooms are spacious and cleaned perfectly every day, and the garden is very nice and clean. The nice thing about the hotel is its prime location. It is close to everything and in the center of Amsterdam and the staff are very friendly and make an effort to help you with all information and inquiries. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

    The location of the hotel is fine. 20 minutes walking to the dam place. We booked a room for 4 people and its nice, maybe a little small but it is enough. Service is alright they have changed our towels and they are very kind to us. I recommend it.

    Rooms are tiny and tatty. Carpets were worn and stained. Room 10 had room only for a double bed and you had to walk sideways along it to get in. Bed linen was stained. Stairs very steep which is the norm for Amsterdam so that was ok. No coffee making facilities in room. Room 16 had curtains only on one window with a footprint on the inside! Shower was not draining properly so you couldn't run it at full blast although there was loads of hot water and shower room was clean. WiFi didn't work on top floor. Carpet was not clean. However staff were friendly and hotel is in a convenient location. Stair railings were being painted so hopefully the hotel may be in the process of being cleaned up. Front steps were dirty which didn't leave a good first impression.

😐 It is a large, somewhat impersonal, completely unshaded and extremely noisy campsite (we were in the tented section).Noisy because there is a large multi-lane bridge nearby, which is still very busy at night. Also noisy because of the "cigarette smokers". There are no rules and regulations - or if t...
