Eden Lancaster Hotel - Amsterdam, Netherlands 

"Very pleased"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Loved the hotel's situation - the area is very quiet and peaceful, yet only 10 to 15 minutes' walk from the city centre, or about 5 minutes on a tram - which are great for getting about on, and there's a stop just down the road from the hotel on a route that goes direct to Central Station. We stayed for 3 nights, and although our room was quite small, it had everything you need - the bed was wonderfully comfy, the shower was efficient and the water was hot. What we liked best was that it was quiet, so you could get a decent nights' sleep - what more could you ask? The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast, although continental style, does include cereal, fruit, toast etc, so there's always something to eat. We would definitely stay there again.

Cleanliness of rooms is very very poor

This hotel is located in a quiet, mainly residential part of Amsterdam opposite the Artis zoo. Amsterdam's famed red light district is about 5mins away by bike, about 10mins by tram (passes front of hotel) or a 15 to 20min walk away so its close enough to not be inconvenient. Besides, I have stayed in the red light district before and do not recommend it because of the noise, especially on weekends. This is a much better location if you cherish your sleep and is a quick walk to rembrantplein which has loads of restaurants and waterlooplein which has a nice outdoor market. The hotel itself is not expensive by amsterdam standards. There were a few problems we had with the hotel. There was a constant bad smell on the level our room was on, although not in our actual room which was clean. The bathroom basin does not give you much room for washing your face and you end up wetting the floor more often than not and the bar fridge had to be opened with a key from reception everytime you wanted to use it which made it entirely useless. We didnt take breakfast at the hotel because it was about 18euro per person which seemed excessive, but having breakfast at the nearby cafes didnt come much cheaper. Overall its an OK place to stay but I might try and stay in a more interesting neighbourhood on my next visit to amsterdam. Very good if you are looking for a quiet stay.

Very expensive for what you got, but given it was Amsterdam on a weekend, it was reasonable i suppose. Breakfast was value for money, with good variety. Hotel was not centrally located, but tram stopped right outside the hotel and was easy to use (once you could push past the people to get off at your stop!) Hotel was very secure after hours with access only for hotel guests by key. Overall, not a bad stay
