Budget Hotel Neutraal - A Central Amsterdam Hotel with Shared Facilities and 24-Hour Front Desk

Located between Central Station and Dam Square, this 2-star Amsterdam hotel places guests 820.2 ft from Amsterdam Centraal and 656.2 ft from Beurs van Berlage. Budget Hotel Neutraal provides accommodations for 1 to 4 people, with simply-furnished rooms featuring TVs, in-room sinks, and access to shared bathrooms with bath or shower facilities. A common area refrigerator and property-wide free WiFi serve all guests. The hotel maintains a 24-hour front desk and welcomes children under 6 years. Hotel Neutraal sits within walking distance of cultural landmarks, including the Anne Frank House (15-minute walk), Museum Het Rembrandthuis (0.5 miles), and Van Gogh Museum (1.5 miles). Metro, tram, and bus connections offer direct routes to Museum Square and Leidseplein, while eight restaurants operate within 984.3 ft of the property.

Pros

Professional host management ensures 24/7 guest assistance

Eight dining options within 984.3 ft, including PANCAKES Amsterdam Centraal and Omelegg

Strategic location 656.2 ft from Beurs van Berlage and major shopping districts

Direct public transport connections to key cultural destinations

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Schiphol Airport

No private bathrooms in rooms

“The location opposite Central Station makes it ideal for city exploration. Rooms can be small and shared bathrooms may not suit every traveler, but some rooms include a balcony. While cleanliness appears inconsistent, the staff receives praise for being welcoming and accommodating. In my opinion, this budget option mainly works for very short stays prioritizing location.”

okay for a quick stay

great locationeasy accessdirty roommissing amenities
i found the hotel really close to the train station. its only about four minutes away. its also super easy to get to the town centre from there. this made seeing things at night super easy. a mcdonalds is right downstairs too.
the room felt kinda like a prison cell you know. there wasnt even a coat hanger in there. i noticed the walls and curtains had some stains on them too, which wasnt great at all. i really wish they were cleaner. shower had no light and water barely came out

I loved the location. It's near the train station. there's a mcdonald's downstairs, great for late-night cravings. the town centre is a short walk away, awesome for easy exploration.
The sink in my room was a bit small. It made washing up slightly awkward.

The location is AMAZING! It's super close to the train station and the heart of the city. I loved that I could walk everywhere! Plus, I got upgraded to a double room with a toilet and shower, a nice surprise. Breakfast was even included, a great start to my days of exploration.
The walls are thin, so I could hear some noise from the hallway, but it wasn't too bad.

The location was unbeatable, especially for the price! I walked everywhere, and the proximity to the station made arrival simple. The staff was cute, even with my late arrival. The continental breakfast included was a great start to each day.
The decor felt a little dated and could use some refreshing.
