Die Port Van Cleve Hotel

“A Fantastic Hotel! Wow!”

Where do I begin with this outstanding hotel? Understanding that this historic building has many different sized rooms and layouts, I can only comment on our room, which was a twin superior (#125).

Where do I begin with this outstanding hotel? Understanding that this historic building has many different sized rooms and layouts, I can only comment on our room, which was a twin superior (#125). The room was very large, with 4 or 5 large windows letting in plenty of light. The room had a comfortable couch and chairs for relaxing after a long day on your feet. Plenty (!) of room for your luggage and storing of your clothes and other items. The bathroom was spotless, The beds were comfortable, if not spectacular. Now, I will say this, this room is right on the street, 1 level up from ground. The view was fantastic, with the church, the palace and all the street life below. However, be forewarned, the noise from the trams is an issue. They don't stop until around 12 or 12:30 at night. But we had ear plugs and since we walked 7-10 miles a day, we didn't find it a problem at all, we were exhausted most nights. A final thought on the room: Housekeeping did a wonderful job, the room was always spotless. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Hulscher's, was just fantastic, and for us, totally worth the money. What a great selection of items to choose from, and the scrambled eggs were always on point, every morning. The Blauwe Parade bar was a perfect place to drink a beer and relax after a long day. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and professional in the best way. Finally, it must be said. The location! Wow! how can you beat it? Impossible. Train station is an easy 15 minute walk. All the sights are a 30 minute walk or less. There are restaurants, bars and shops galore all around you. There is a convenient Albert Heijn supermarket right next door for whatever items you may need after a long day. All in all, the location is perfect. So, thank you to everyone at the Die Port Van Cleve for our 6 nights in Amsterdam. I cannot recommend you hotel more highly, and I wouldn't stay anywhere else when I return to the spectacular city of Amsterdam. Thanks for a great stay.

“Nice Place to stay close to many areas”

Staff and room service were good. Room was clean. I believe that there are various room styles. We had room 321. It overlooked the road and one of the entrances to the Dam. Windows were small and that is due to the building layout and not a fault of the ownership. Our room bid not have a fridge but… more

Staff and room service were good. Room was clean. I believe that there are various room styles. We had room 321. It overlooked the road and one of the entrances to the Dam. Windows were small and that is due to the building layout and not a fault of the ownership. Our room bid not have a fridge but others did. The lookout was great. Could not hear any road noise. It was split level and had 3 steps down to the bed area with the entrance, wardrobe and toilet on the higher level. The room was not bright when dark outside as there was no ceiling light other wall lights were provided which were adequate.

“Old world charm”

Lovely old hotel with old world charm. Rooms small if you have large suitcases but comfortable. Great location. 7 minute walk to Central Railway Station.

Lovely old hotel with old world charm. Rooms small if you have large suitcases but comfortable. Great location. 7 minute walk to Central Railway Station. To get to hop on/off bus need to go through tunnel to back of station and then turn right and walk 15 minutes. The Station mall has excellent restaurants and supermarkets. To get canal boat tickets proceed to White House with orange roof on right front of station. Suggest download Google maps. Hotel also very close to Dam an entertainment area surrounded by historical buildings.

“Best location for everything”

Great central location right across the road from Dam square. We found it perfect for accessing everything we needed. We upgraded to a larger room and it was definitely worth the money.

Great central location right across the road from Dam square. We found it perfect for accessing everything we needed. We upgraded to a larger room and it was definitely worth the money. We had a corner room at the front of the hotel with a view of the road below- good for people watching! The bed was comfy as were the pillows. We are in the restaurant for an evening meal and although the portions were small and expensive it was delicious. The service was quite slow too. We would definitely stay again if returning to Amsterdam.
