The Old Nickel Hotel

整體感覺不錯。

I booked this hotel as it was super central and the location fitted with my plans being only a few minutes walk from the station and access to the ferry across to 'This is Holland' where many of the day excursions leave from. I am really bad with directions so needed to be sure that airport to hotel and hotel to booked day excursion are easy to access. The girl at the reception in the old Nickel cafe, where you register, was really helpful. I had checked in advance if I could leave my luggage as I arrived mid morning. This was not a problem, but I would say the luggage is left in the kitchen and not locked up so don't leave valuables there. The room was tiny but clean at number 19 a few doors down from the cafe. It was the single room with the cute Dutch girl wallpaper and tulips. It served me well as I only needed somewhere to sleep. It is right opposite a karaoke bar, so if you are sensitive with noise this is not for you. It didn't bother me.

The rooms are very small considering the high cost of the hotel, almost the same as Hotel Victoria. The bathroom had a bad smell coming from the drain, and the beds were also small. Choose a room away from the street if you want a bit more tranquility. the hotel doesn't offer any additional amenities.

I booked the Old Nickel hotel purely from the vantage of location and price. The location couldn't be more perfect - a stone's throw from Amsterdam's central station (600 metres or 5-10 mins) and within walking distance of all of Amsterdam's major sightseeing attractions. I walked everywhere in Amsterdam and enjoyed strolling through the canals and waterways. There are several large supermarkets nearby and restaurants, cafes and bars numbering in the hundreds. No lack of food choices, this is for certain! I booked the single/economy room for one night. The room was very very small, but certainly manageable for one night. The room had a twin bed, a stool, under bed luggage storage (which was appreciated given the severe lack of room), and above bed shelving. There was a television in my room, but I couldn't get it to work. Lighting was good in the hotel, many electricity sockets including one above the bed, and the wifi signal was very strong throughout the hotel, even up on the third floor where my room was located. I left on an early train, so I didn't take breakfast at the hotel. I am not sure that breakfast is offered at this hotel though!? The bathroom was also a bit cramped, but I expected this. The toilet sat awkwardly underneath the sink, so I bumped into it often. The shower was enclosed with glass doors, the temperature of water was wonderful but the shower pressure left something to be desired. The bathroom amenities included hand soap as well as an in shower dispenser with a shampoo/body wash combination. A floor mat, a hand towel and a bath towel were also provided. Here's the double edged sword. The room overlooked a very busy street, which, in Amsterdam, didn't make for a restful sleep. I was awoken through the night by late night partiers in the streets as well as guests arriving to the Old Nickel hotel very late. Because it's an old building, you can hear pretty much everything going on around you, including inconsiderate guests. There is no lift in the hotel, and the stairs are incredibly narrow and very steep. This is quite common I'm finding in Europe - very steep, old staircases. Be very careful as you ascend and descend with luggage. The hotel sits above a bar, which must be owned by the same owners. I didn't eat there, so I cannot comment on the food or drinks. The woman tending to the bar and also the hotel was very pleasant and kind! I had a good stay here, and I appreciated that I was able to find budget accommodation in the heart of Amsterdam. I don't feel that the deficiencies above are necessarily the fault of the hotel, rather inconsiderate guests and party goers, so, I'd recommend this hotel to my fellow budget weary travellers. Overall, a good and budget friendly hotel in central Amsterdam!

The only nice thing about this hotel,is their staff. They try the best , but never can find solutions to the problems. Super expensive €200 per nigth for a hotel 2* Super small and dirty

Small but very clean and functional room. Ideal for one person staying in the centre of Amsterdam

Great location! Pretty bar downstairs. Very noisy because we were on the 1st floor but I can sleep like a rock so I was okay. Bed was super comfy. Very convenient stay.

Right in the middle of it all so is noisy. Single room is small but clean and great shower.

Lovely character hotel located in central Amsterdam, close to the Central Train Station and within walking distance of many restaurants and pubs and attractions. The staff are amazingly friendly, helpful and accommodating. The double room was spacious, clean and comfortable.
