 Die Port van Cleve by AnnS I booked this hotel because it's in a very central location and I got a single room for 75 euros a night, which seemed very reasonable for a 4* hotel. However, when I got there, I was disappointed to find myself in the smallest single room I've ever seen. Also, facilities that I would expect as standard in a 4* hotel, e.g. minibar, coffee-maker, trouser press, were "on request", whatever that means. There was hardly enough room to turn round but I decided to settle for it because I didn't plan to spend much time in my room. As I'd arrived late, I wanted to eat in the hotel's restaurant but it was closed. However, they served me a meal in the bar and it was quite nice. Breakfast wasn't included in the room rate and was very expensive so I went out and found a nice cafe instead. The hotel's location was perfect, very close to Dam Square, but I'd rather have been a little bit further away and have more space and better facilities.

We chose Port Van Cleve last time we went to Amsterdam. The hotel is in a good location and looks great from the outside. When we went to check in we were told that our room was on the first floor. We got our key and we upstairs, and then downstairs, down some creaky little passageway. When we got to our room, (i think there were two or three down there), it was tiny. The bed almost took up all of the room, the bathroom ceiling tiles were mouldy and there was mould on the shower. The wallpaper in the bedroom was peeling off and there were two spiders on the wall. The view out of the window was of some back alley with industrial pipes. We paid about £100 for one night, so we're not happy with this. Admittedly, I went up to complain about it to the receptionist and asked to be moved, it took them a while of saying they had no none smoking rooms left, and then no double smoking rooms, I told them that a twin smoking would do, anything but I was not staying in that one, and they eventually moved us. Now, this room, was like a damn palace! It was front facing and had a huge window overlooking the street. The room was huge, the bed (a double, after saying it would be a twin room) was huge and comfy, and the bathroom was about the size of the room they had originally put us in! All I can assume is that as we were only staying a night, and due to our ages (early 20s) they thought that they could get away with putting us in a crappy room. I wouldnt stay here again, because of the attitude of the receptionist and the price, but if you have a room booked, just make sure to state that you dont want the basement option!
