Eden Lancaster Hotel

Good hotel for the price, the tram is easy to take and is nearby, or if you like to walk you can walk to some sites.Location is in a safe area, however, it is not right in the City Center. The rooms are very small, but neat and clean. Staff was very helpfull. Hotel is across the street from the Zoo and also next to a small park.

Amazing deal! great hotel

The hotel was only 20 bucks more than a hostel were you sleep with 8 people in the same room. The hotel s near center to walk or a super fast tram that stops in front of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the room furnished very well. The rooms are small but it is the same at all hotels in amsterdam. they let me check out at 2 pm with no problems. Great stay!! I have stayed in hotels twice ad thrice the price and preferred this one.. book it !!

Economical except for parking

Not suitable for those with mobility issues . . . steps everywhere. A little difficult to find; directions were not very good. Staff friendly but all the amenities were overpriced and the rooms themselves are VERY tiny. Nevertheless, very clean, with a fair price, easy access to the city by light rail system, and a decent buffet breakfast (not included in the Orbitz price). Suitable for young tourists, preferrably without a car.

Don't rent a car for your Amsterdam stay. Use the light rail as much as possible. Parking here is prohibitively expensive and space is difficult to find in the first place.

Very comfortable stay

The Eden Lancaster provided a calm respite from the more hectic center of Amsterdam. The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed and the complete morning breakfast buffet was a welcome treat. Front desk staff ranged from helpful to diffident, perhaps based on a language barrier. The location is a bit remote from the hub-bub, but the proximity of the zoo and a lovely park make for a relaxing stay.

pas terrible

A priori bon choix vu le site internet . Mais : bruyant (tram et ambulances la nuit), très petite salle de bains, petit déjeuner prohibitif (15 € par personne ! il vaut mieux aller dans les cafés proches où tout est parfait à moitié prix) et personnel peu accueillant ni serviable (demandez donc de vous faire une réservation à l'accueil !)...Il y a bien mieux sur Amsterdam au même prix et dans la même catégorie...

Preis/Leistung miserabel

Zimmer viel zu klein. Bett und Schrank füllten das Zimmer aus. Es blieb kein Platz mehr um sich zu bewegen. Bad so gross, dass man rückwärts auf das WC gehen musste, an abtrocknen nach dem Duschen war nicht zu denken.

Ganz OK

Mit der Lage waren wir sehr zufrieden, schnelle Straßenbahnanbindung zu allen wichtigen Orten. Wir hatten Zimmer Nr. 410 (4. Stock mit Lift) mit Aussicht auf einen kleinen Park. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, man hört die direkten Nachbarn sprechen und die Zimmertüren schließen sehr laut. Außerdem gibts einen kleinen Spalt rund um die Tür, durch den Licht und Lärm vom Gang ins Zimmer kommt. Die Straßenbahn, die vor dem Hotel vorbei fährt, hört man natürlich auch. In der Nacht ist es aber ruhig, wir haben gut geschlafen. Das Zimmer war sehr eng, aber für 4 Nächte ausreichend. Das Bad war auch winzig, aber es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Vor allem war das Bad immer sehr sauber und wir bekamen jeden Tag frische Handtücher. Die Betten waren 2 zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten mit Federkernmatratzen (leider spürbar). Waren aber trotzdem bequem und sauber. Die Fenster sind nur kippbar, da wir aber im März gereist sind und es nicht allzu warm war, war das kein Problem. Ein kleiner Mangel war der Teppich, er gehört dringend erneuert (sehr ausgetreten) und öfter gestaubsaugt. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die kleine Teeküche mit Wasserkocher. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt, es gibt eine gute Auswahl an Frühstückslokalen direkt beim Hotel. Weil wir keine Kreditkarte mit hatten, mussten wir beim einchecken 50€ hinterlegen, und am letzten Tag mussten wir noch eine Steuer bezahlen, die ca. 10€ ausmachte. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt, und wir würden wieder kommen.

Großartige Lage

Das Zimmer war für 2 Personen genau richtig, etwas unangenehm war die Tatsache, dass es kein Doppelbett gab sondern zwei zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten ansonsten war die Lage perfekt und im Großem und Ganzen ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt ich würde wieder in diesem Hotel einchecken!
