Reliable hotel in a good location
It wasn't the cheapest, but was well worth it. My bed was one of the most comfortable I ever slept on.

Mercure Amsterdam
We enjoyed the comfortable, modern decor and room. The location was convienent for us as we walked all over Amsterdam while there. The breakfast buffet was very good and hearty, but very expensive (16.50 Euro) and no price listed (ouch when we checked out!). It was also nice that they had internet available in the lobby. Our only complaint was that one of the nights the hotel was very noisy with people running up and down the halls, slamming doors, yelling, etc, but this wasn't the hotel's fault.

Short walk from hotel
Myrabelle's is a bar with outdoor seating just down the road. They have inexpensive drinks and it's a good location for people watching.

Great location
Conveniently located and very comfortable. The room was clean and the bathroom was clean. Mattresses aren't the best, and probably need to be replaced. The windows are thin so you can easily hear the foot/car traffic on the street, but it's a very tiny, side street and thankfully not much traffic. I didn't try the breakfast as there are plenty of cafes within close walking distance. Again, the location can't be beat and the wifi worked fantastically.

Nicer than expected
Hotel lived up to its expectations. Descriptions were accurate. We loved the ability to open a window and get fresh air! It's not as close as other hotels to the city center, but if you like walking or riding bikes, this place is perfect!

Great Location, clean and comfortable.
We arrived early but didn't have to wait long for our Stylish Corner room to be ready. The room was clean and hip! The free Wifi that we used from the hotel was sum what unreliable though. The location is good because it's just seemed to be in a perfect Location. It's very close to the Tram which will take to The Dam Square in 5 minutes or just walk to anywhere else. We rented a hotel bike for 24hrs for 15 euros and we went easily exploring all the differant areas. There is a Grocery store just down the main street also food and 2 Smoke or Coffee shops if your into that!

Perfect hotel in great location
While the room itself was pretty small, I was quite pleased and overall very satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable with new linens and towels. It was a bit quirky, but I really enjoyed staying here, and would most definitely stay here again. For the reasonable price, it was well worth it.

The friendliest hotel staff!!
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left.... we felt extremely welcomed. Traveling abroad in today's climate is not always easy if you're an American. Let's face it we're not as loved as we once were. Not the case at the Mercure.... they accommodated our late nite dining needs by ordering out (time difference is hard on meals), gave us an extremely late check out and gave us great directions and reccommendations.
