Hampshire Hotel Beethoven

The hotel was very easy to find - catching a tram direct from Central Station. Arrived late, but still warm reception. Clean rooms and beds so comfy we overslept each day! Breakfast is standard European food but of good quality. Friendly staff. Bath tub in ensuite room which is great after long days walking around Amsterdam. Quiet area - but only 5-10 mins to all famous sites.

A bit too far to main attractions but there is a tram/bus stop right infront of the hotel. No parking but could park on the street for 1h, check in, leave the stuff and than take the car to park & ride and olympish stadium (tram 24 takes u back to the hotel)
downsides: a lot of noise during the night. Paper thin walls made me wake up everytime someone walked pass my room or walked in the room upstairs. Additionally some idiot was screaming few times during the night waking everybody up.
room equipped with a tv and safe, but mine had no key to lock it and reception told me to lie with it, and tv was plugged in as if some moron has set it up. no plugs for both the antenna and mains. simply hot wired into the cable in the wall. I didn't touch it and it worked. A good selection of channels but to better ones u have to pay 10 euros i think (for 24h from noon till the following noon). Wi-Fi internet available but for 7 euros (i think).
Window handle was broke so i couldn't lock the window. Kettle present but had to switch it off manually (didn't want to stop automatically for some reason).
overall i sit on the fence. can't tell if i would go back or not. the price was of cose breakfast is included, but the room could be a bit quieter and better maintained. Clean though.

Nothing wrong with the hotel as such. Staff helpful, place was clean, nice area. Just don't feel it was worth £100 per night as the room was pretty basic and ageing - the sort you might find in a refurbed B&B rather than a £100 per night hotel

Normal room price was E135. For 75 euro you are in a nice and posh part of Amsterdam, not far from the city center. I recommend not to have a room at the street side where there is a lot of traffic (cars, trams). My room had a bath which was nice and was quite big. There are also rooms with only a shower (room where I stayed 2nd night). Weird fact: this room also had a big emergency exit sign IN the room. Since the sign was on (and you could not turn it off) a part of the room was lit.
