It was difficult to find with Google maps. So heads up, it’s right behind the old church, off Dam Square, on a charming little street, full of restaurants and a Chinese massage a few doors down to help your traveling feet recover.

The property is very close to all highlight areas and restaurants. Room area is decent and clean. However their breakfast did not have hot food and is always the same…they should look into this to improve the breakfast selections. Our stay was enjoyable..

A fun little hotel right off the square. Close to all the things we wanted to see or easy access. It was off the path just a little so not too noisy or busy.

Great Location

I have traveled to Amsterdam numerous times. This time as a 70 year old man. For me, now, I prefer a more comfortable stay. The location is ideal. The room borders on being small since we had to layout our two suitcases on the floor. The bathroom is adequate though small and the shower is small. If location is important this location is great.

Best Western Dam Square was a great choice for us in Amsterdam. Typically, we try and book into a local hotel (vs chain) This BW is unlike any north-American hotel... and is definitely a great hotel to stay at in Amsterdam. It's location "(10 min walk to Central Station) is great. It is also a unique, old building, along a typical narrow cobblestone street. Amazing shopping and restaurants are immediately accessible. Staff were friendly and helpful. The available breakfast was very good, with good variety. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed! So happy to have stayed here!

Unforeseen

Police had access to hotel blocked off for 6 hrs. It was getting near dark so we had to book in with another hotel. Their was some discussion with best western on if the were going to charge we for a no show night but in the end they decided not to charge us. Other than that the stay was nice. Good location with several good restaurants near by and tram access was good

Disappointing

The room size and location is ok. I was not happy with the facilities. Even though i was on the first floor there was a dangerous step when you entered the room which i tripped on as by the time you switch the light on you could not see the step. View out of the window terrible, and felt i was in the basement, there was pigeons nesting outside all the time making noise. During the night there must have been a pipe running through the room and there was pipe noise continuously and had to wear ear plugs to sleep. Room quite dark. I had to move the light fixtures in the room to make it brighter. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. My total disappointment was when i had to have a meeting online at 12 pm and sat in the restaurant in a corner table and they came to remove me in a rude way as they said they were going to mop the area…while the cleaner was actually on her phone since i went there..they moved me at the entrance of the hotel which was not really ideal to have a meeting as i wanted a quiet area. This is not a suitable hotel if you travel for business…
This step you cannot see when you enter the room in the dark.
