Hotel Pontsteiger

Hotel was in really good location. Even if we couldn’t get double bed as we wanted the price/performance ratio was really high. I would stay again there

Helpful and friendly staff, nice views of the river. No direct ferry to central station but there’s direct bus and the ferry to ndsm doesn’t take long. Overall a great hotel:)

Beautiful waterfront property near downtown Amsterdam, right next to the Pontsteiger ferry stop. Westerpark is easily walkable which is a nice change of pace from the city centre. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops with significantly less tourist traffic! Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating! Note all rooms are on the ground level, and wifi was spotty likely because of all concrete pillars. Rooms are also typically small like most European city centre hotels

Modern suite with bath Comfortable and very quiet room with all the usual amenities. I had the heating in but the room was still a bit cold (December). I couldn’t find reception when I arrived as the taxi dropped me in the right hand side and the signage on the door stickers directs you to the end of the right building. There are rooms there but that isn’t where reception is. After walking around in the dark and rain for a few minutes I rang and someone from reception kindly came out from the left side of the left building. Overall I would stay again as it was a nice experience otherwise!

Arrived at 4pm to the reception full of guests waiting to check in. The receptionist seemed annoyed that we had arrived! She pointed out everyone who was waiting to check in and told us to sit down and wait also. When we asked what was happening she could not give us an explanation, when we asked how long we’d be waiting it was ‘I don’t know’. After 2 hours of waiting we could finally check in. No explanation or apology whatsoever. The only compensation we received was 2 free drinks from the bar. The receptionist left the front desk unattended so that she could walk us to our room (there was only 1 member of staff present at all times). We were walking down the corridor to our room when the receptionist told us to wait where we were as she ‘needed to check something was fixed in our room’ (??). She darted off down the corridor and into our room whilst we waited outside. She finally came out and told us we could go into our room. Again no explanation. There were 4 USB ports in the room however none of them worked, so we had to walk to the closest shop (20 mins) to purchase an adapter for €17 (the hotel have a box of adaptors however none fit my charger and you had to pay a €25 deposit to borrow them). That night me and my partner were laying in bed and all of a sudden somebody burst into our room?! No idea if this was intentional or accidental, as the girl ran away giggling once she saw we were in the room. My partner confronted her and she denied coming into our room. The next morning we were awoken to the sound of construction and builders talking VERY loudly to one another, right outside of our room. When we got up and left for the day, the corridor was absolutely full of tools and mess, and the builders had removed the handles from the main door to our building without any temporary replacement. There were no other exits in the building so this meant we had to stick our fingers through the holes of the (very heavy door) in order to open it. This also meant literally anybody could do the same and enter our building. We arrived back to the hotel after a day out to discover the door handle had been replaced, however so had the key fob so we couldn’t get into our room (another walk to reception to get this sorted). We finally got back into our room to see the room hadn’t been cleaned. The maid knocked shortly after (around 5pm) however we had already settled down for the evening. She cleaned our room the next day however this only consisted of making bed

I absolutely loved this stay, I will be staying here again for sure! I stayed for my birthday and it was amazing! Bluetooth marshal speakers in your room really was the highlight of it. Not to mention the amazing coffee machine. TV with good selection of channels for a briefing citizen travelling to Amsterdam. We had a river view which was amazing and a free ferry station located outside that takes u in to Amsterdam central. Not to mention the beautiful walk into Amsterdam from this hotel. The staff were all super friendly and nice! Bikes to rent and also lovely free lemon water in reception.
