Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 4th August 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We enjoyed our 6-night stay at the Bicycle hotel. We had a double room with shared bathroom, and only had to wait to shower once during this stay, so it worked well. All the facilities worked and were maintained, including the internet access, and we enjoyed the breakfast buffet too. We intended to hire bikes but didn't in the end - we are avid walkers and found we could get everywhere we needed to by foot. The tram is also convenient at the end of the night :)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 21st June 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Nice place! Friendly staff, good breakfast. A little out of the way, but if you rent a bike (and you really should!) it's pretty quick to get where you want to be.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 12th May 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: staff were always helpful and friendly. if you want some time to yourself to enjoy what amsterdam has to offer, then this is a great place. pretty cheap for what you get. would recommend it to people, but its not very close to the red light district.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 11th January 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Bicycle hotel was not close to the train station, but you can easily take one of the trams there. There are 4 very narrow flights of stairs and no elevator, but we didn't mind. We had a small room with two twin beds and it had its own sink. We shared a bathroom with the floor, 3 or 4 other rooms, which was fine because we didn't see anyone else on the floor the whole time we were there. The shower didn't drain very well but otherwise was fine. Breakfast was included, it was cereal, juice, coffee, tea, toast, cheese and ham, and an assortment of peanut butter, neutella, jam, and honey. Renting the bicycles was the best way to get around in Amsterdam! The price was very competitive, the cheapest compared to other rentals. One of our bicycles had a slight problem, one of the pedals was loose, so we were able to get another bicycle right away. It if fairly close to the museums and the Heineken brewery, but far from the red light district. We enjoyed staying here though the price was a little more expensive. We might stay somewhere closer to the train station next time.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 26th December 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: Really liked the hotel. The staff were very helpfull even when our 4 bedroom room only had & bed in it. Stairs were quite dangerous and the hot water in the mornings was very intermittent. The couple of cold showers were a little disappointing:

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 17th December 2007 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: Our room was small but quite peasant an dwas clean when we first arrived. However, the room wasn't cleaned once during the five nights of our stay, which lead to an overflowing rubbish bin and dirty floors. The toilets were frequently out of toilet paper which was only replaced each morning. The cold water tap in the shower didnt work and the hot water wasn't always hot. The communa larea for breakfast and internet usage was bright, clean and very pleasant. Most of the staff were friendly, very helpful and informative. However, there was only one staff member on at a time, with frequent changes. Some of the staff members seemed to have little knowledge of Amsterdam and were unable to help with much information at all, including such basics as how the tram system works, etc. One staff member couldn't even provide the password for connecting to the internet within the hotel. In one instance we were given completely wrong advise about how to get where we wanted to go one evening. Fortunately, as it didn't sound right, we didn't take the advise and worked it out for ourselves by making deductions from the transport map. In all, I thought that it was quite an ok and reaonably pleasant place to stay, but think that if I ever go back to Amsterdam, I would try to find something a bit more central (even though the tram system is pretty good and easy to get around on).

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 27th August 2007 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We were a little hesitant about this hotel before we got there but it ended up being a great place to stay. The hotel was just out of the city centre so it was quiet but plenty of nice restaurants and bars around the area. There was a tram just down the road that went directly into town but I would recommend hiring one of their bikes to get about. The staff was very friendly, helpful and easy going. The rooms were basic but clean. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Colombia 24th August 2007 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Really nice hostel! Specially the staff is really nice and friendly, the breakfast is also excellent, thanks a lot. It is well located, easy to reach by tram. But If you have knee problems, be carefull: there is no lift and the stairs are too steep!!! Otherwise there isn´t any problem.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 22nd August 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Trés bon accueil avec une carte de la ville et des endroits à visiter. Anglais excellent et parlé lentement, discussion et renseignements trés agréables. Bon rapport qualité prix, escaliers raides : à tenir compte pour les fins de soirées. Centre ville à 30 mn à pied. Voie de Tramway à proximité.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 10th August 2007 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: One of the smallest rooms i´ve ever been. Not a standard hotel; i would not repeat.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 14th May 2007 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: Very polite and helpful staff. The breakfast was nice. The location was 1 tram ride away and about 15 mins from city center, other than that. It's all you can expect from a good hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 5th February 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: a good thirty minute walk from centraal station, in a residential neighborhood. there's a nearby street market that is worth checking out. we paid 60 € / night for a two-bed room. a little expensive, but overall a good experience.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 13th March 2007 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: The Bicycle Hotel was awesome. It is in a section of the city that allows you to venture away from the tourist center and see more of where people live but it is still a quick tram away or 25 minutes walking. The staff were nice, breakfast was good, and the room was quality. Great stay altogether....thanks to everyone!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 16th January 2007 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Wonderful place. I had a porch outside my room I could smoke on. Very cool staff and very cool people all around. They will make you the best pot of tea and for very cheap. I was only there for a night and if I'm back in Amsterdam I know where I'm staying.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 5th January 2007 Mixed Group 18-24 4/5 Comments: A very nice hostel. Older building and it shows. Good character with friendly staff. Could be cleaner. Not a party place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 6th November 2006 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: booked a double, got a twin, room deco nothing like as pictured but clean n safe enough. main complaint - entire hotel was non-smoking!!! in the 'dam!!! fair enough not everyone goes to toke but hotels that are non-smoking should make it very clear in their descriptions

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 25th October 2006 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: We stayed in a 4 bed private ensuite for 5 nights in October. The rooms were very clean and warm. It was a bit of a squeeze with the four of us with two of the beds being a bunk bed. The only criticism was the top bunk didn't have a safety rail and it was a bit scary for the poor person sleeping up there. The staff were friendly, the tram to the centre of town was really close and it was perfect if you want to get out of the city and do some bike riding although the staff weren't very good at making suggestions and seemed a bit reluctant to rent us a bike. If you can go Mike's Bike tours he takes you all around Amsterdam and out as well - you get to see windmills and some beautiful scenery and his bikes are much better!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 9th October 2006 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: the best things about your hotel to me was the cool and relaxing spirit. the staff is laid back and super willing to help, we never feel pressured or insecure. breakfast was great, and the rooms, although very modest, were very clean and with good natural lighting. the only suggestion I could make was to have bigger towels available for the shower. thanks for the great time, Cristiana

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd July 2006 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: for the price, not bad and the bicycle rentals are only 5 euro a day, but get one early or they're gone. it's a little out of the city center, but once you learn the route it's not bad. the rooms are sparse and the beds not comfortable. the mattresses tend to slip off the frame. breakfast is included.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 5th May 2006 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: the staff was very nice, but I left after the first night to another hotel. I liked the free internet and the bikes provided (the best way to get around in Amsterdam). However, my room was quite small, and the blankets and linens seemed so worn. This was my first time in a hostel, so maybe i was expecting too much. I had a private room...but it just felt kinda dank and cramped. I moved to a more modern hotel, located in the center of everything, with a larger room, and only paid 7 more euros per day. But the Bicycle staff understood, refunded my money for the remaining nights, and wished me well.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 18th April 2006 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: We had a great time in Amsterdam, all the hotel staff was really pleasant to us and the bike rental in the hotel is very useful.
