Eden Amsterdam Centre Hotel

Excellent Hotel

by A TripAdvisor Member

Excellent hotel. We stayed at The Tulip Inn Amsterdam Centre for 5 nights. The hotel is clean, nice small lobby with free Internet access, rooms are small but very clean. Excellent matresses and pillows.

Located at walking distance from many interesting places> Museumplein, Voldenpark, coffeshops, restaurtants, stores.

Staff was friendly and willing to help. Location is excellent. Very close to Leidseplein (across de canal). Neighborhood is safe and pretty.

I will recommend this hotel without reservations.

Great Hotel

I stayed at the Tulip Inn Amsterdam Centre for 3 nights. The hotel had a small bar and free internet access in the reception. Staff were friendly. Room was extremely clean, ours was a decent size (room 120). Room also had a flat screen TV with loads of channels. Beds were comfortable but we had 2 singles pushed together instead of a double. Hotel was close to Leidseplein square where there are loads of shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Its a 20 minute walk or short tram ride to the train station and Red Light District. I would definately book this hotel again. Downfall was they called to clean the rooms at 8.30am, even when the do not disturb sign was on the door. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

perfectly situated

hi! we stayed in the tulip inn amsterdam central and found it perfect! its located in leidseplein which is a lively place with all the best bars and restaurants not to mention shops! its about a 5 minute walk away from leidseplein square so its nice and quiet at night but you dont need a taxi. rooms very small but clean and staff friendly, food is usual european fare of bread ham and cheese enjoyable though. when we arrived at schipol airport we took train to central station, there we bought a 3 day tram pass and took the 5 tram all the way to leidseplein you can also take the 2. highly recommend it

Avoid at all costs!!!

Pros:
*Location is excellent-very close to the top 3 tourist attractions (although the city on a whole is so small you can walk across the whole city in 30 minutes, so everything is close anyway)
*Room was very clean
*Hotel is in a safe and mostly-quiet area
*The staff was friendly and helpful.
*The room was equipped with a safe.

Cons:
*THIS WAS THE SMALLEST ROOM I'VE EVER STAYED IN! At no point could my wife and I walk past each other-we had to constantly yield and weave our way around the room. For 110 euro, it seems to me like you should get more than a shoebox with a bed. It couldn't barely fit us and our luggage let alone a refridgerator or anything else useful such as a dresser or bureau to put your clothes in. I really hate living out of a suitcase, but this is exactly what we were forced to do. To make it worse, you had to constantly jump over or weave around your suitcases just to get around the room. THIS IS THE LEVEL OF COMFORT YOU GET FOR 110 A NIGHT????
*You had to duck your head under the bathroom shelf just to be able to rinse your mouth after brushing (see above)
*THE BREAKFAST BUFFET IS A SHAM!!! The breakfast is pathetically small-just cold cuts, OJ and coffee. Something so sad coupled with overall travel experience made me think the breakfast MUST be free, but instead they charge you 14 euro per person for this pathetic food spread!!!! I almost blew a gasket when I saw the 84 euro charge on my final bill for 3 days of ham sandwiches and coffee!
*You can't really use the steps if you're carrying anything as they are very steep, narrow and smooth (I was on the 4th floor). Add to that the slow and very narrow elevator.
*I had to leave a day early and told them this on day one of our formerly 8-day trip, but THEY WOULD NOT REFULND MY UNUSED NIGHT EVEN WITH OVER 1 WEEK NOTICE! Between this and the breakfast, I really feel as if I was amost literally robbed.

I am including a pic I took as we were 'unpacking'. I was standing in front of the bathroom door which is right next to the room's front door when I took this picture, so pretty much what you see in the pic is THE TOTAL ROOM AREA! Very, very small indeed...

In summary, you can do much, much better for a place to stay. The cleanliness and location hardly make up for the other significant reasons to avoid the Tulip Inn Amsterdam Center. MUST AVOID!!!!

great location, great value!

having read the previous reviews, i was worried that we would be sent to another hotel; luckily, that did not happen..staff at the front desk were very helpful and even helped looking up the train schedule on the net; the room was a decent size, modern, clean and comfy..only complaint i have is that there is no
air-con (which is fine this time of the year since it is winter); location is great..just a 5 min short walk and there are a bunch of bars and restaurants! if you are coming from the airport, take the train to central station and then take tram 1, 2 or 15

Very clean hotel

by A TripAdvisor Member

We booked a double room and stayed for two nights. The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast is not worth 14 euros though. There are plenty of cafes nearby where you can get breakfast (full English between six and ten euros each). Hotel only a short walk from the tram stop. Close enough to walk to bars, restaurants at the Leidseplein, but far enough away to get a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Hotel for a great price. I ususally stay in hostels but between a friend and I this was just as affordable. The location is awesome!

"Red Light District"

It is Deffinetly more than Whores. What a fun time, I was really hessitant at first but after I realized it is more than prostitution I had a blast. A bit expensive for drinks but an experience to be had.
