Tulip Inn Dam Square - Amsterdam, Netherlands     

If you are the trpe of person put off by a bit of decor then accept what the last review said. If however, you can see past a bit of decor and are looking for a hotel which is in an excellent location, has amazing staff and a lovely breakfast then this hotel is for you. The reception and breakfast area are immaculate and well decorated and yes it is true that the rooms could do with some new wall paper but I guess this only matters if you plan on staying in your room watching tv rather than out seeing this fantastic city. The room was exceptionally clean and the bathroom immaculate (looked new). The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and spoke amazing English. This hotel is located about 30 seconds walk from Dam Square, 8 minutes to the train station and 30 seconds from main shops (including a supermarket about 2 minutes away). In terms of price I thought this was very competitive at ?116 per night in the middle of May and could not get such a great located hotel for such a price elsewhere in Amsterdam (I tried!)

We stayed in The Tulip Inn recently we were not impressed we found the entire Hotel needed redecoration, the paintwork was very shabby the carpets were very stained leading from the reception area to the lift, which put you off before you even got to the bedrooms. The rooms were very small and basic certainly not worth the prices we were being charged,I checked other Hotels in the area which were far superior and very little difference in the cost.
