Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Pension Homeland from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Pension Homeland is appreciated for its interesting, vintage style and spacious rooms, some boasting stunning views. Its location is convenient, being within walking distance of the city center, Amsterdam Centraal station, and attractions like the NEMO Science Museum; plus, there's easy access to public transport. Many guests enjoy the on-site bar and restaurant, which features canal views and a terrace, though some have noted noise from outside at times. Don't miss to say hi to Amy Winehouse - the hotel's cat.

charming stay

modern bathroom great shower friendly staff
The location worked well. It was a quiet area only a short walk from the main attractions. the bathroom was clean and modern, with a great shower. i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the room provided a simple, adequate space that met my needs.
I found the blinds in the room broken. They did not fit the window correctly. this meant i couldn't fully block out the light at night, and i couldn't enjoy the view during the day.

dated decor and questionable service.

noisy radiator slow service
The room was like a throwback to the '70s, not exactly in a charming way. the bar scene seemed to prioritize locals, service was slow. also, the radiator made such a racket all night. It was seriously annoying. definitely not a relaxing experience.
