Schaluinen Vacations from ￥195,602

Clean rooms, got lucky they upgraded us to a larger room. Centrally located, close to shops and nearby restaurants but gets really crowded and noisy during busy hours. Neay close to the Red Light district a fee mins walk. Air conditioning is available. No elevator so if you’re room is assigned to a higher floor be ready to climb every mountain. Breakfast is also available but nothing special in their offering (eggs,bread, cheese, cold meat cuts, juices, cereal, yogurt) that’s it everyday. Staff are pleasant, helpful, and friendly.

The place is clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms might be a bit small but the distribution helps to make everything work just fine. The restaurant/bar in the fist floor really makes the place stand out as it can serve you a late beer or a great breakfast. The location is great, easy to get from the airport and to move around Amsterdam your near a metro station or the ferry. We did move all around and it worked fine. Definitely would recommend the place.

Our stay at City View Hotel was extremely disappointing. While the location is excellent—close to the canals and bike rentals—it does not make up for the poor hygiene and serious safety concerns. The room was dirty upon arrival. The floor had dust, hair, and dead insects. Although we were told the bedding had been freshly changed, we found eyebrow hairs and dust on the sheets. After reporting it, staff only vacuumed the room and told us the pillowcases couldn’t be changed until the third day. The worst part was the lack of cleanliness. There was a thick layer of dust and debris under the bed. The air conditioner was covered with visible mould inside, and there was mould on the faucet and shower head. Since the bathroom has no exhaust fan and the A/C turns off whenever you leave the room, the room stayed damp and smelled musty. By the second day, we even noticed small flies in the room. The biggest issue was safety. Housekeeping left our room door not fully closed twice after cleaning. Even worse, they entered our room despite our Do Not Disturb sign being displayed. We reported both incidents, but the front desk only said they would remind housekeeping. Unfortunately, the problem happened again. The reception area also feels dark and unwelcoming. Overall, the service was unacceptable. I cannot recommend this hotel until they seriously improve their housekeeping standards, cleanliness, and guest safety.
