Hotel Jesse is a good spot to stay in with friends, or if you’re solo. I wouldn’t exactly recommend it if traveling with family, but the private room was big enough to accommodate a family. I was a little disappointed that it had no air conditioning, but they provided a fan for us to use and it wasn’t bad at all. Overall me and my friends had a nice stay in Hotel Jesse and would recommend it to those who need a place to stay for a couple days

Standard hostel. I had a long layover and was there for just a few hours nap so can’t offer much in terms of a review. Walkable to restaurants, train station, etc. and tram 17 drops you off right in front. *You will need a cash 10 Euro key fob deposit at check-in.

The stairs to the accomodation are heritage and therefore they can’t change them so they are steep and small. Very hard to navigate big bags up and yourself after a night out. We chose to pay at the property and they took money off our card before even getting to the property on the day. The rooms are adequate. The same for the bedding and the pillows feel like they’re half stuffed. It was in an okay location, tram stop right out the front and plenty of things to walk to close by. I probably wouldn’t stay there again

Actually the worst place we’ve ever stayed. No space with 120 sqft room shared by 4 with bags. Rude staff. Paid for 2 nights, left after 1. Not sure why it has “hotel” in name- it is a hostel. Loud walking in floor above us until 2am. Look elsewhere for better value.

Charming Hostel w/ Character - My New Fave!

Reception during check-in and check-out was super nice—thank you for being so friendly and welcoming! I stayed on the 3rd floor (actually the 4th floor). Although the steep, narrow steps were a mission, they are typical of local architecture and should be seen as a cultural experience rather than a North American "accessibility issue"—if you need an elevator, are obese, or dislike narrow, steep, winding stairs, this place isn't for you. The six-person, three-bunk room felt spacious, and each bed had a locker with a key (10-euro deposit, returned upon return). I had the top bunk facing the window, and the electric socket was a bit far, but it was a minor inconvenience. The bed was clean, and the sheets were fresh. The shower was hot, especially nice after walking in the rain. The washroom door didn't have much space when opened and was close to my knees when sitting on the toilet—a potential issue for anyone 170 cm (5'7") or taller. I shared the room with five other lads who were friendly and professional. Overall, a proper hostel experience. I usually stay at the Heart of Amsterdam for its proximity to RDL and Centraal, but Hotel Jesse is now my new favourite!

Auberge fidele a l'annonce, et bon rapport qualité/prix. On a passé deux bonnes nuits entre copains dans une petite chambre cosy. C'est propre, le personel est réactif. Fait pas s'attendre a un 4 etoile et faut savoir que l'escalier est bien raide, mais ca passe. Aussi tres important de prendre sa douche bien tot le matin ou le soir, sinon il y a pas d'eau chaude avant le check out. En tout cas, on recommande pour l'emplacement, la vue et le confort!
