It was just what I required for a short stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the lounge with all its arts and crafts on show added to make it a more comfortable and interesting area.

Perfect location and walkable. Rooms were small, but very comfortable and clean. We had canal view room which was lovely. Cafe/shop downstairs was charming. Very steep stairs and no elevator, but thats quite common.

charming but not a very nice breakfast
I loved the room and it was great value for money. The breakfast buffet was poor and grouchy service in a windowless room - so skip it. But the hotel is charming and in a good location to get to central station easily and everywhere else.

Great hotel for the price, a little bit further out from the centre than would have liked but that is just personal preference. If you’re after a quiet hotel with great staff for then this is the place for you

Good location and everywhere is pretty walkable. About a 13 minute walk with my suitcase to the main train station but there is a metro station only about a block from the hotel.

We were assigned the attic room which was hard to get to with our luggage. Once we did manage to get to our room we noticed that one light by the door was not working and the one of the 2 lights in the bathroom was not working as well. The toilet seat did not have a cover and the there were a lot of mosquitoes in the room. The one light fixture on top of the ceiling had a lot of dead bugs/mosquitoes in them. The staff in the hotel was friendly and nice and the location is good - however the hotel room was poor.

Bring earplugs
Hotel des Arts is such a lovely little hotel in a great part of the city. The hotelnis beautifully decorated, as are the rooms. The staff were friendly, helpful and accomodating. The buffet breakfast was very nice. My only negative is that it is an old building with no soundproofing. If you have early mornings or need a good nights sleep, bring earplugs - especially on the main level.

The place is right in the center of the city. Very convinient for sighseeing. The room is simple, clean, cute designs, has nessasary things. I bought breakfast and has everything you need (selection of tea, coffee, scrambled eggs, fruts, cereal, milk, bread) so definitely worth it because prices in Amsterdam are no joke.

Perfect hotel
We loved this hotel. It was in the perfect location. Central, but not in a noisy area. Overlooked a canal. The hotel had character. It was in a gorgeous typically Amsterdam building. Everyone was very friendly. Our quad room was perfect for a family of four and our kids are teenagers! Everyone was very friendly and so helpful. The breakfast was perfect. Thank you. If we come back to Amsterdam we will most definitely stay at Hotel des Arts and we will be recommending it to family and friends.

The hotel is in an excellent situation, close to the beautiful flower market and an easy walk to the museum square in one direction and the Centraal station. The manager was exceptionally helpful and friendly, she was able to direct us to the local sites and museums always with a smile. The breakfast was a wide selection of food, again the staff running the breakfast room were lovely. The room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in the Family Suite with canal view. It was perfect for family of 5, everyone had their own space and bed. Bathroom was a little small, but very nice. Street noise was a little loud at night with windows open, but once you shut them it was quiet. Breakfast was very nice as well.

We are always striving to improve our customer's experience with us. In order to do this we always hope that if there is an issue in the room or with housekeeping that the guest will come to the front desk directly to inform us of any issues so that we might rectify it while the guest is still in house and thereby improve their stay.

Very well located in the centre of Amsterdam the Hotel des Arts is in a typical Amsterdam building. But inside is in need of some TLC and the inside does not live up to the character of the outside. Room was very clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was tasty continental breakfast

Very good and hard.
Everything was good, very friendly staff, great location, etc. The only negative issue was that I had to walk up 4 floors with a heavy suitcase, because there's no elevator. That was REALLY hard.

Uber could not stop at hotel OR pick us up. Front desk was too busy to help us get a taxi or uber after we checked out, and staff were unhelpful at checkout. We were put up in highest room (number 41) two times on our family reservation, which was super far away and up many steep stairs and was also very, very hot! Front desk staff was dismissive. Access to hotel is on busy one way street, so no stopping with uber; felt stranded! So disappointed!

Dear Sarah: Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. It is unfortunate that the city of Amsterdam doesn't allow for traffic stops directly in front of the hotel. However, there is a spot less than 1/2 a block away where Ubers and taxis are allowed to pull over and wait. Regardless we are sorry to learn that you were inconvenienced by this. It is very much appreciated if guests who have mobility issues let us know in advance so that we can be certain to put them to a lower floor. Of course if you are a late arrival and you have not informed us in advance of your needs we are unable to change the room. The room you were assigned has 4 windows that open and once opened the room is quite cool. Housekeepers are instructed to close the windows because of the possibility of rain. All of these issues aside we are sorry to hear of your disappointment and hope that you are able to enjoy the rest of your stay in Europe.

We always hope that our guests will bring things like this to our attention while they are staying in the hotel so that we can remedy the situation during the stay. We will use this review for housekeeping training purposes in hopes of improving our service. We hope to welcome you back.
