Description

Hotel Amstelzicht is a three-star hotel built in 2000 and renovated in 2013, offering a variety of room types including Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Business, Premier, and several family and canal-view options. The hotel features free bike rentals, WiFi, free parking, and a bar on site. It is known for its cleanliness and attentive staff, who receive consistently positive remarks for their friendliness and helpfulness. The building itself is one of Amsterdam’s iconic 'dancing houses,' featuring steep, narrow staircases rather than elevators. Guests should note that the hotel does not provide breakfast and that pets are not allowed. While the hotel offers a quiet and clean environment overall, some rooms near nightlife areas may experience noise. The variety of rooms suits solo travelers, families, and business visitors alike, with options ranging from dorm beds to cottages with water views.

Situated at Amstel 104 in central Amsterdam, Hotel Amstelzicht is within a 15-20 minute walk of major city attractions.

Bit hard to check in after hours but staff was nice and accommodating
21.11.2025 Liz
The perfect location for central Amsterdam. Everywhere was within 15-20 minute walk. This row of 17th century houses was one of the focal points on the canal boat tour that we went on (Captain Jacks - highly recommend!).

The family room was perfect for our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel is a couple of doors from the Irish bar and very close to a vibrant area for nightlife so it can be a little noisy at night. The room was next to the cellars of the bars so it was noisy in the morning too. Take ear plugs as others have recommended.

The only thing I would change would be the smell of the room. It smelt of old cigarettes which we really didn't like. I reported it to the receptionist but I guess it is a smell that would be hard to remove.

The location was amazing!
The room had a great view of the canal staff were attentive and friendly!

Great location, beautiful city views (my room overlooked the river). My colleague was awoken at 4am by some partygoers in a nearby room but not the hotel’s fault although would have been nice to have some on site assistance to get them to stop playing music).
11.10.2025 Allison
As long as you’re nimble (beware the staircases), this place is great! Very clean and quiet. Additionally it’s close to most museums and attractions. Never had to walk more than 20 minutes to a destination.
08.09.2025 Walt
Great location and friendly staff but room access is only by extremely steep and very narrow stairs that are more like ladders than stairs. I would not recommend this for any seniors, anyone with large luggage or with mobility problems.
22.08.2025 Aldo
If you like old properties, this is the one. No lifts(elevators) the stairs are narrow and steep. For me, it gives it its charm. There is no AC but a fan is provided and the windows do open. At least for us up in the penthouse :)
Staff was friendly and helpful!
14.08.2025 Keenan
This hotel is one of the 'dancing houses' of Amsterdam, so you get to stay in one of the most iconic scenes in Holland! On top of that the hotel is nice and clean. The stairs are the 'Dutch death stairs' which means they are very steep with small landings for your feet, so be ready for a focused ascent/descent to and from your room; to me it was part of the charm, but it could be more than a challenge for others. Everything was a 20min walk from the hotel so I loved just strolling around Amsterdam taking it all in.
13.08.2025 Nicholas
Hotel is perfectly nice, just be aware there’s an Irish bar next door and it has an outdoor space that gets loud at night. It’s fine when the window is closed but if it’s hot out you’ll have to pick between a hot room or noisy bar
12.08.2024 stellazhuzhu
Built in 1659, the family room for four is in the basement. There's no soundproofing, so it's very noisy. Drunkards can be heard shouting outside at night. Any movement upstairs is transmitted to the basement. The stairs are very narrow, making it impossible to carry luggage down. It's not recommended for families with children.
