Hotel Sint Nicolaas - Amsterdam, Netherlands 

"would recommend "
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
I have just returned from a 3 night stay in the Hotel Sint Nicolaas and would recommend it to anyone. It was a convenient and easy 5 min walk from Central Station which was wonderful as I was travelling with my 2 children on my own. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel had a lift and a luggage store. The bathroom was a good size complete with good shower over a large bath.

Super great location

I didn't expect much since it is only a small hotel but I was pleasently surpriced. The hotel had a great location close to the train station and shopping street. The room was nice and clean. We stayed 3 girls in one room and it was spaciuos enough for us. The staff was nice and helpfull. The lobby was nice and I especially liked the fireplace on a cold January day. It was fake but it still warmed. The dislikes are my pillow smelled... and at night it can be quite noisy because of the traffic just outside your window but I got used to it after 1 night. Despite of that I would definitely stay there again if I come back to Amsterdam.

Great Location - Ok Hotel...

Usually stay in the what was the Ramada but is now the Tulip Inn and compared to that this was not as nice. Reception area is lovely. Hotel is in middle of a re-furb at the moment so there were lots of workmen & pots of paint all over the place so was a little hectic during the day. Thankfully this did not disturb us too much! Sadly was unable to smoke in any of the 3 rooms we had booked within our party. Did manage to change one of them to smoking in the end. However the no-smoking rule is being rolled out 1 July 08 so not sure how that is going to change all hotels let alone the city! Biggest plus was the location - literally a 3 min walk from Central Station. Also if you are anything like me the Shower is important and I can confirm that they have good ones at the Sint Nicolaas! Would I return - no. Would I return to what was the Ramada - yes! Also be sure on what you rate you are paying at time of booking as they tried to charge us an additional 50Euro which we swiftly got knocked off. Breakfast in reception in the mornings between 7-10 was nice and I found the hotel staff to be helpful.
