The Nova has been my go-to hotel for a very long time, but I don't think I can stay there again. I had requested a room accessible by elevator and none was available, so my friend and I, both of whom have mobility issues, had to climb stairs to our room, which wasn't always easy. The breakfasts were not free, although I didn't mind paying for them. The service was outstanding and the food was always good. I liked that the trams were a short walk from the hotel, too. So was Albert Heijn. It's not that I don't want to stay there again, it's that I don't think I can due to mobility issues. Thanks.

The location was great, near central Amsterdam. The staff were very attentive when we had any concerns. Rooms were very clean except that one time that the cleaner forgot to clean our room but the hotel offered a complementary breakfast which i found a professional move. They only have twin beds and i found them a bit uncomfortable. The beds could improve. But overal i would stay in this hotel again.

I have stayed in this hotel twice. Once for three months. I have always been satisfied with the property. The remodel looks great! Breakfast was fantastic! You guys have stepped up your game. Please continue to be discerning with your clientele. It was so quiet for being where it was located. That is a huge plus for mature travelers! Thanks!

Excellent staff and location. I heard a guest complain that the staircase was too narrow and steep, but the hotel has an elevator for bags and those who don't like the exercise. I view the staircase as authentic euro living (all the older building have steep stairs) and thought they were a plus.

The hotel seems to be new. Bedrooms and facilities are in excellent conditions. The breakfast and the restaurant were very good. Accessibility is a challenge though. The elevator is too small (3 people) and the stairs are very steep. Very challenging for seniors to use the stairs in case of emergency.

This hotel was a big disappointment. The room was tiny, had NO AC, and smelled bad as soon as we walked in. The bedsheets smelled AWFUL, like they hadn’t been washed in a long time. You can see other reviews about this place. The elevator was so small it only fit one person, and we still had to carry our bags up the stairs. On the first night, someone tried to open our door at 3 am., which made us feel unsafe. I tried to call the frontdesk but no one answer. During ours stay, It was so hot that we had to leave the window open, and my child ended up with mosquito bites. None of us could sleep. We booked three nights but after found out they have no AC we decided to stay only one. The front desk said they would refund the other two nights, and I asked for a proof letter. They gave me a receipt, but I never received the refund. When I followed up, the manager said they wouldn’t give the money back. It feels like they gave me a fake receipt just to avoid refunding me. I would NOT recommend staying here

Great Location and Service, But No AC as Advertise

The coffee shop and bike rental are very close by, with good restaurants nearby as well. The service was fast, friendly, and patient. The room was nice and came with a reasonably large smart TV. However, there was no air conditioning despite the listing on Hotels.com stating otherwise. Only fans were available. Alright, tolerable. This was an information error, and I’ve learned to double-check such details before booking but it’s all good on my end.
