Too Expensive for what you get!

I have always had good experiences with Best Western, but this hotel is run down and needs a major remodel. Much of the room's furniture needed to be dusted. Bathroom cleanliness was average. The room was tiny and the bathroom reminded me of a ship's bathroom. The shower was so tiny I think many people would not be able to fit in it. It also leaked and flooded the floor while showering. The location of this hotel was the plus. It is just a short walk to the train station, so it was convenient. The included breakfast was exactly the same every day. We stayed eight days so we got sick of eating the same thing: cereal, juice, yogurt, bread, and cold cuts. We paid the most for this hotel than any we have stayed at on any of our trips. The rate was over $300 nightly. Because the USD is weak now, that amount went up to close to $400 nightly.

It was difficult to find with Google maps. So heads up, it’s right behind the old church, off Dam Square, on a charming little street, full of restaurants and a Chinese massage a few doors down to help your traveling feet recover.

The property is very close to all highlight areas and restaurants. Room area is decent and clean. However their breakfast did not have hot food and is always the same…they should look into this to improve the breakfast selections. Our stay was enjoyable..

A fun little hotel right off the square. Close to all the things we wanted to see or easy access. It was off the path just a little so not too noisy or busy.

Great Location

I have traveled to Amsterdam numerous times. This time as a 70 year old man. For me, now, I prefer a more comfortable stay. The location is ideal. The room borders on being small since we had to layout our two suitcases on the floor. The bathroom is adequate though small and the shower is small. If location is important this location is great.

Best Western Dam Square was a great choice for us in Amsterdam. Typically, we try and book into a local hotel (vs chain) This BW is unlike any north-American hotel... and is definitely a great hotel to stay at in Amsterdam. It's location "(10 min walk to Central Station) is great. It is also a unique, old building, along a typical narrow cobblestone street. Amazing shopping and restaurants are immediately accessible. Staff were friendly and helpful. The available breakfast was very good, with good variety. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed! So happy to have stayed here!

Unforeseen

Police had access to hotel blocked off for 6 hrs. It was getting near dark so we had to book in with another hotel. Their was some discussion with best western on if the were going to charge we for a no show night but in the end they decided not to charge us. Other than that the stay was nice. Good location with several good restaurants near by and tram access was good
