Die Port van Cleve Hotel - Amsterdamas

Wonderful hotel, highly recommended.

All in all, you just cannot beat the price for the hotel's quality and location. 4 min walk to the train station, 10 min with luggage (2 suitcases, 1 carry-on, and a laptop bag). The hotel is only connected to the Magna Plaza (Mall), and when you walk outside, you are looking at the back of the Royal Palace, so you're literally a 30 second walk from Dam Square. Their breakfast buffet is excellent and even though most rooms do not include breakfast, they do have vouchers available for guests that allows a discounted from of 12.50e (down from 19.50e), for your entire stay if you'd like. I'm going back to the Netherlands in december, and i will definitely book a room at the hotel, without a doubt.

This hotel is in an old Heineken brewery and is a nice building, however the hotel itself could use some updating. We arrived early evening and were given what we thought to be a dump of room. The room had a moldy smell, the window would'nt stay open unless you put a stick in the frame, and was beyond small. When we kindly asked the staff to move us to another room given the findings of our original room and the first front desk person refused to move us stating "they're all booked", and when i mentioned that this room was'nt acceptable another staff person kindly relocated us to a larger and better smelling room. However the beds could use replacing, you could feel all the springs in both mattresses. There's a mall next to the hotel as well as a market a half bolck away thats open till 22:00.

The Die Port van Cleve Hotel is a wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam. The location was perfect and the staff was very accomodating when an issue arose with our room. The only downside was the size of the room but that is typical for the Amsterdam area. I would highly suggest this hotel.

My first room was (almost) comically uncomfortable. Small, noisy, dimly lit (especially in bathroom), and poorly ventilated. The one window that could ventilate was a couple of feet from a brick wall and required that I stand on the desk to open it. It had defective hardware and required so much force to open and shut that several times I almost fell. At my request, the hotel moved me to a different room (without me asking what was wrong). This had a slightly more comfortable living area, but the toilet paper roll was mounted shoulder height and in such a tight space as to require one to do acrobatics in order to use the facility.

I believe I paid the right price for the hotel, which was lower than what it usually charges. The hotel is really a 3 star. However it is a great location.

We loved the location and the staff at Die Port van Cleve. Our room was clean and comfortable. Room had some wear and tear on it, but very serviceable. We enjoyed our stay!

A bit run down, but comfortable. VERY convenient location.

This hotel was way more than we expected. It is located on the border of Dam Square with so many things to do in the area as this is a popular square. Also you can see the train station from the hotel so you could actually walk to your hotel from the train. The room was very roomy, flat screen tv, wi-fi free access, and they offer room service. The only things I didn't like were the window, there was one window and it was very small kind of like an attic room so there was not much light even with the lamps provided, and the drain in the shower was slow and I hate standing in bath water while you shower. This hotel was great for location and has a lot of history definitely would stay there again.

no complaints whatsoever, maybe due a quick makeover but all in all had great location, decent service and very (too) comfortable room.

i have stayed in this hotel a few times now and so i must like it! its best features are its location and the staff are friendly. rooms are of a good standard and if there is a problem it is they are ,in my experience, a little smaller than other 4 star hotels.but not too small as to be a problem. the rooms have all the usual facilities -the best features being a very good bathroom and an exellent tv with access to radio/music/internet. rooms are clean however there is sometimes a little traffic noise from the road alongside the hotel. having said that,it wasnt a problem for me.the only small improvement i would like to see is storage for clothing. the wardrobe (with safe) is fine but there is no other storage for clothing in the room and so its the suitcase that is the home for some of your clothing. overall, its a good hotel. especialy if you get a good deal. i noticed a discount if 4 nigts were booked and with this in mind the hotel was very good value for money.

Promising since its location was excellent, 4* hotel with a nice looking reception. Unfortunately, the room was absolutely tiny. There were also only about five small lamp shades in the room, so even with all the lights on it still seemed dark. Average shower with minimum extras (soap/glasses/shampoo). Very disappointed.

this was a nice hotel at a great location but it felt like a really good 2 star then a 4 star hotel. I have stayed in amsterdam before at a cheaper price and it was a 3 star hotel which was great!

Needless to say I was very disappointed with this hotel. I had read some good reviews and thought it would be a nice 4* hotel but this was definitely not the case. We arrived at around 5.30pm to a very nice member of staff, the lobby looked beautiful and a nice staircase. We were given a keycard for room 309 so we got in the lift and went to the 3rd floor and found the room. The room was so small I couldn't believe it. There was just enough room to walk around the twin beds; there was a table and 1 chair shoved in the corner but not comfortable to sit at because it was squeezed in between a dressing table and 1 of the beds. The wardrobe was literally 1/4 the size of an average wardrobe. It could just about fit 5 wooden hangers. The TV was ok, not too big but a nice plasma on the wall. The bathroom was very small also; the shower was in the very tiny bath, I didn't mind using it but the shower curtain was absolutely disgusting so I refused to pull that across. Also, for paying for a 4* hotel you get no toiletries.. although there is some soap stuck to the wall. I was really not impressed with this hotel at all. I booked this hotel to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and I was very disappointed.. I didn't mind the room as we were rarely in it but for the price I paid I would have expected a lot more.. this is an average 3* hotel - infact I have stayed in nicer 3* hotels. There are nicer hotels around the Dam square, I won’t be back to this 1.

Perfect location, great historical value and quiet.

Our two week visit in Europe was to end in Amsterdam and I decided to stay in a little nicer room so I booked a suite with a King bed in the Die port Van Cleve. This booking gave us a room we could not believe. We were on the top floor in a corner room with views that were unbelievable. The room was very spacious with seating for 6 in the sitting area and a table with 6 chairs for dining. The bed was in a spacious area to the side almost not noticed from the living area. Although expensive the room seemed a bargain for the price. The location could not have been better, on the tram line and near central station you could get everywhere easily including museums, the flower market, canal tours, etc. We would definitely stay again.

Staff and room - very nice. No problems at all. Very clean, and bathroom is well lit and large, w/nice deep tub. Free internet connection in room. Location is great. Walk from Central Station or take a cab for a short ride if you have allot of luggage.

This hotel was a bit below my expectations. The room was extremely small and the bathroom smelled like sewage. Even worse, the light seems to have some sort of timer on it, so don't be surprised if all of a sudden your shower goes dark! The front desk did not seem worried about our complaints, and even forgot our wake up call (missed my flight). The one good point about this hotel is that the location is great! You can walk to pretty much anywhere within the city, including: Dam Square, Red light district, the Anne Frank house, and even the Van Gogh museum was no more than a 15 minute walk....you are even close to the Central station!

the desk clerk did over sleep on his working time and did not call us in the morning of checking out. than his english and dutch was not the greatest. also he had problems with the client before us and us to check us out, having our bill payed on our credit card. so if you stay in this hotel, set your alarm clock and pay your account/bill the night before your departure (especially if you pay by credit card)

Good looking hotel right in the centre of all you would want to see and do in Amsterdam.The hotel staff were efficient and informative and always ready to help.On the downside there is alot of noise at night from trams,traffic and people.The room was small with no opening window or Air/con,so very stuffy on warm June nights.Seems too highly rated as a 4*,has not got the facilities of other similar rated hotels.Our friends had a room to the back of hotel,which had an opening window but was very noisey at night.

Hotel was nice enough, room was acceptable. However, my stay was dotted with negative experiences. - We stayed in a smoking room, and on the first day apparently one cigarette was enough to cause the fire alarm to go off (silently mind you, so we didn't even realize). This led to a hotel staff member pounding on my locked door as I shouted "Just a minute!" and scrambled to get dressed after just having taken a shower. The staff member barged in without waiting for me to open the door, and I was barely able to cover myself with a towel. He then started yelling at me about not smoking, and opening the window (which was already open), and so on. Long story short, not a fun or seemingly acceptable experience, although its nice to know that the silent fire alarm at least has someone watching it in case it goes off. Maybe they could find a better place to put the smoke alarm than right over the bed as well. - There was no air conditioning, which was fine, but there was also no ceiling fan. We had a small portable fan that did not work. Upon reporting that it did not work, we were at least given a replacement fan that worked, and which was larger than the original broken fan. I was satisfied with that outcome. - There are no ice machines in this hotel (or vending machines, or mini-bars, or refrigerators). Apparently the only way to get ice is to call the restaurant downstairs and have them deliver it. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get in touch with the restaurant. When you push the button on the phone, it just rings and rings with no answer. I tried calling the receptionist first and having her transfer me, but that came to the same result. I called the receptionist a second time and she tried transferring me to a second number. Still no answer. I finally tried to just go downstairs and ask reception personally for ice. I was told that my request was noted and it would be forthcoming. It never came. - Similarly to the last point, there was one night when I wanted

the hotel is located right in the middle of amsterdam, you can walk from central station to the hotel (10 min walk). hotel staff very friendly and helpful with any needs, hotel clean, but rooms small (only complaint) other than that I loved it. There's a bus stiop right in front of the hotel and a grocery store a minute walk away.

We loved staying here. It was in such a perfect location--just a few blocks from the Anne Frank House and Madame Tussaud's, etc. The staff was very friendly, and our room was spacious and comfortable, with big windows we could open to hear the sounds of Amsterdam below. Also it's only a 10-minute walk from the Amsterdam Zentraal train station.

Although the location was SUPERB, the service was extremely poor....and costly. None of the staff were able to help with directions, logistics and in fact were often WRONG (therefore costing me additional money to make it right!) Over 90% of the guests had breakfast included in their hotel stay I DID NOT KNOW MINE WAS NOT included until I went the first morning. For the cost....it should have been included. My room my always smelling musty and the hallways were worse.

I needed to be in this area in walking distance to several contacts. For the price I paid, I expected more. The room was efficient, new bath, and had free internet access. Breakfast was not included. The location of the room itself was on a corner through the exit door next to a stairwell on the 5th floor, a little isolated.

The hotel was very nicely located and the staff was very friendly and helpful with all our needs.

This is a great hotel.Best location wouldn't stay any where else.Super quiet, can't say enough,elevator too!

this hotel was certainly not a proper 4 star hotel along the lines of how you and i would define it, not by a long stretch of the imagination. It was shabby, cramped, and had decor that would have been considered to be out of date in the 1960's. The staff were generally indifferent and the room was appalling. The whole experinence was so unpleasent that i will never forget it, nor repeat it. A disgrace.

For the price the room lacks a comfy feeling. Bathroom was great. Clean, OK. but too expensive. A hotel clerk was very inappropriate when she made a mistake about our booking. She was in the wrong and had no compassion about it. Had we not gone out of or way to prove her error, and was there another place to stay I would not have stayed. She and other staff lied about issues. That turned me off to ever stay there again. But this was a couple of people so can't hold against the whole hotel.

Great location - Friendly Staff

We spent one night at the hotel. It was very clean, the bath was nice. The area was close to all the sight-seeing. The hotel staff was extremely polite and helpful.

like many review complain about this hotel. for me it ok for the price , it easy go to anywhere in red light district or shopping and go out to eat ,5 min walk from the train station ,the room is nice and clean ,would stay here again next time trip.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The location was perfect. It is right in the heart of historic Amsterdam and less than a ten minute walk to the Central Station. The tram stops right in front of the hotel, and makes it very convenient to travel around. Just several blocks down from the hotel is the Ann Frank House, and plenty of pubs and cafes surrounding the area. The hotel also has a very nice pub itself and the restraunt was very nice too. You will get more than your monies worth!

Stayed in the hotel for a weekend and have no complaints about the hotel, checked in very early and room was ready. Lift worked which helped as i was on crutches, Ideal location and very quiet at night, and i was there for a football match so lots of fans about. No view out of the small high window of dam square but cant complain really, All in all a very enjoyable stay and staff were most helpfull. Pricey food though so ate out for all meals.

Free wireless internet! Location is near the major Tram lines. To far to walk with luggage from Amsterdam Central but Tram or taxi will get you there. Maybe it used to be a four star hotel but room conditions were shabby. The location is convenient to walking and seeing alot of Amsterdam. Hotel desk staff was very friendly and helpful the time we stayed.

Great hotel, great location, great price.

EXCELLENT LOCATION, but,VERY NOISY. Bed was a bit soft & my wife said the hairdryer didn't work well (I said last b/c I think that's a bit insignif.,also, but, posted as an FYI to those who'd care). I'd recommend Only if you're looking for a cheap, Very Central location, but, wouldn't recommend for a long stay - Not a "bad" hotel: Very Central, but very noisy.

In a nutshell, this hotel is located in a very central area surrounded by shopping, eateries, coffeeshops, & transit. It is very old and could use a serious update but all in all it was a typical Dutch hotel room. A bit musty in the lobby & common areas. The staff was friendly & helpful. They were very accommodating about holding my luggage until the room was ready which was nice. After an unfortunate power failure in my room I was moved down a spiral staircase in the outer bowels of the hotel to a smoking room, however I was informed that it was only for smoking tobacco...Disappointing to say the least considering the city the hotel is in.

Die Port van Cleve Hotel is an old building with plenty of character. The staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous. The hotel is very centrally located with Dam Square literally less than two minutes walk away. This is very handy when you are visiting especially for the first time as all activity seems to gravitate towards Dam Square if you are unsure of your whereabouts when out and about. My only criticism would be the size of the room we stayed in, it was very small with no view at all. However, size of the room aside, I would recommend this hotel due to its location and friendly staff.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The room was much more attractive than the pictures led me to expect. The location was a perfect starting point for sightseeing. The staff all spoke excellent English.

This hotel is in a very good location, literally across the road to Dam Square. Room was a good size as was the bathroom. Room was abit tired looking and the beds weren't that comfortable. We only had bed lamps for light. It was quite noisy in the late afternoon/night but seemed to quiet down eventually. Overall, not bad! Everything we needed for 1 night.

This hotel is in the perfect location for getting around the city. The room size is very typical for Europe. There was only a "soap/shampoo/conditioner" available instead of separate containers. And there were no individual room heating controls, so sometimes it was chilly in the room. But all in all, it was a good value.

we visited this hotel 2 years ago and the standards were much higher- attentive staff at check in, concierge, excellent restaurant service and attached bar open all day. hotel now dirty, tired in need of re furbishment- room that we stayed in very small, basic overlooking other rooms! bar closed- only open evening hours- restaurant o.k but expensive- limited menu.

We chose this hotel as it was the same company as the Artemis Hotel which we had stayed in Oct 08 and really enjoyed. Both hotels were nice & clean (I'm fussy too!). Die Port van Cleve Hotel was right next to Dam Square which suited us better than Artemis as that was a bit of a distance away. The price was not much more than you would pay for a 2* in the city so it was well worth it!!! Staff were friendly and the room was spacious, clean and private. Room service was of a good standard. Overall the hotel was really nice and we will return in future.....
