Memphis Hotel Amsterdam

Pretty good. Servicing of rooms okay but not the best I've seen; breakfast okay but not perfect; not having a minibar was disappointing. On the plus side complimentary internet access and a very good reception desk.

This was our first trip to Amsterdam and we booked on line and were very pleased with our accommodation. The breakfast buffet was a good example of a taste of Dutch and we enjoyed everything about the hotel.

I was pleased with the room. Color TV, basic cable. Could catch up with news on CNN. Good view and A/c worked great. housekeeping staff was excellent. Front desk people sometimes acted like they did not want to talk much or answer questions. just a short block to local cafe's and bakeries. Quick walk to Museums. About 2 miles to Anne Frank House. Easy access to bus/streetcars/bikes. Good hotel to stay at in Amsterdam. It must be a good location because the Hilton hotel was 2 blocks around the corner and charged much, much higher prices.

All was great except it was not clear where the hotel was located in reference to the central train station. Either needed easier navigation on website to find this out or a better map. Otherwise, the hotel was great!

Although the hotel is a bit out of the center city it is not far from the museums and Vondelpark. The area is a very nice area and seems upscale and safe to walk. The single rooms are small but I paid just a small amount more and got a double. The free wireless internet was a real plus.

I arrived 6 hours before check-in time, and the staff was happy to check my bags, keep my computer in the (more-secure) back office, and give me a map and directions to the museums so I could keep occupied. Throughout my stay the desk staff was always pleasant and helpful. The room was small but clean, typical of European hotels. When I first got to the room, I was concerned because it was right next to the elevator. No worries, the soundproofing was so good I wouldn't have known the elevator was there. Conveniently located one block from a stop on the tram #16 line. In a quiet neighborhood outside the central area, but only a 25 minute ride from the Central Station in one direction and 15-20 minutes from Vrije Universiteit, where I was visiting, in the other. If you're arriving by tram, the stop is Emmastraat, then walk 1 block back toward the city center. Cabs are outrageous in Amsterdam, but you don't need them.

Perfect medium/small hotel. Upon arriving I told them I didn't like my room location and was immediately given I room I did like. The service was quick and done graciously. It's in a residential (a local told me it's considered upscale) neighborhood, with restaurants very close by. It's a few blocks from the Rijks Museum and the Van Gogh Museum. I walked to the center of town and the Anne Frank house (maybe 30/40 minutes), but if one doesn't want to walk, public transportation is no more than two blocks away. Also, Amsterdam is the most bike friendly city I've ever seen--there are bike lanes on almost every street. It's very safe and half the people in Amsterdam use a bike instead of a car. There's a bike rental place a block from the hotel. I'd stay there again.

Good location if you want quiet but to still be within walking distance of attractions of Amsterdam. It is only a quick and cheap cab ride to the "City Center".

Hotellin kuvauksessa luki: "No pets allowed", silti huoneessa oli hiiri. Heräsimme äänekkääseen rapinaan, kun hiiri yritti päästä käsiksi eväisiimme. Aamulla ilmoitimme hirestä respaan, ja sieltä tuotiin huoneeseen kaksi hiirenloukkua eikä kulkuaukkoa edes tukittu. Seuraavana yönä ei kuulunut loukun laukeamisen ääntä, mutta aamulla hiiri oli tutkimassa syöttiä. Taisi saada siitä aamiaisen – ainakaan ei jäänyt loukkuun. Muuten siisti huone. Aamiainen kovin kallis verrattuna edelliseen hotelliin (lähes viisinkertainen hinta) lähes samalla perustarjonnalla.

Hotelli vastasi mielestäni täysin kuvausta. Keskustaan hyvät kulkuyhteydet, me tosin kuljimme keskustaan joka päivä (4 pv reissu) kävellen koska reittivaihtoehtoja oli useampia. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Aamupalan söimme hotellilla kahtena aamuna ja oli sisältöön nähden suht tyyris. Menisin uudestaan ja uskallan suositella ystävillenikin.
