The hotel is located in a traditional tall building overlooking a stretch of water. On the other side one could see various modern buildings. The area around the hotel is quite pleasant with a cycle track running in front of the hotel as well as a road. The "nieuwmarkt" area is within walking distance and here one can find many restaurants and cafes. The condition of the hotel is good but the stairs are steep which is to be expected in such an old building. Breakfast was available for an extra 17.5 EUR.

We took a restricted view room in the basement which was much better than expected. The room was a good size and had everything we needed including a fridge. The bed was king size plus and very comfortable. The buffet breakfasts was excellent.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The entire property feels rundown and poorly maintained, giving the impression that it hasn’t been cared for in a long time. The layout of the building is confusing and impractical — more like a badly designed rabbit warren than a comfortable hotel. This place is definitely not suitable for families or elderly guests, as the stairs are extremely steep and narrow, making it difficult to move around safely or carry luggage. The room itself was also underwhelming. The bed was made up of two single mattresses pushed together instead of a proper double, and they constantly shifted apart during the night, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle. The mattresses felt like cheap foam, similar to budget IKEA beds, and provided very little support or comfort. The bathroom was in particularly poor condition — water-stained, damaged, and generally unappealing. It clearly needed a thorough renovation, as the fixtures and tiles were old and worn, giving the whole space an unhygienic feel. The only positive aspect of the stay was the hotel’s location. It’s conveniently close to the train station and within walking distance of the city center, which makes getting around quite easy. Overall, while the location is great, the hotel itself is in dire need of renovation, better maintenance, and more attention to guest comfort. I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.

We had a great stay at Hotel Library in Amsterdam. They let us check in early, which was amazing after an overnight flight from Boston. The room was spotless, and the reception staff were super friendly. It’s also in a really central location, which made it easy to get around. Honestly can’t fault anything. Only small suggestion would be to have a glass in the bathroom for brushing teeth, otherwise, everything was perfect!

Hotel Library

A convenient location not far from the train station and close to the city centre. The concept of the library is charming. Once you stay and walk around you'll see how they were inspired for the theme of the hotel. Everything was good with the room (clean, nice toiletries for your stay, you can feel safe with luggage storage, etc.) Staff are helpful and pleasant. A quick stay for us.

Ghost room, bad attitude, no refund... Just awful

Turned up having booked shortly before to be told it was impossible I made a booking for that night. When I showed the reservation, they then realised it was POSSIBLE! Maybe, they should have asked to see the reservation first before telling me I was wrong (when I clearly wasn't). Anyway, they were sold out... So, took my money, told me I was wrong (when I wasn't), failed to apologise at all (for the lack of room or for telling me I didn't make a reservation), couldn't provide a room, and I had to request a refund. Absolutely pathetic.
