The Prinsenhotel provides rooms for up to 4 people, each equipped with flat-screen cable TV, premium bedding, and complimentary toiletries.

Pros

Set in a quiet residential area near Leidseplein

Garden and terrace available for guest use

24/7 reception team provides local information and assistance

Premium bedding in all rooms

Cons

No on-site parking available

Limited common areas for socializing

“What strikes me is that, despite its affordability, the hotel doesn't skimp on charm, nestled as it is within historical houses. I noticed its prime location near cultural hotspots like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum also stands out. The serene garden offers a tranquil escape that's a rare find for such a centrally located Amsterdam hotel.”

mixed feelings about this place

central locationsmall roomdigital concierge
the location is definitely a plus, close to everything. i appreciate the central location.
The room felt cramped. It barely fit the bed. the digital concierge was more of a hassle than a help. I asked for ice, and the virtual assistant just couldn't physically provide it. the lack of real staff at night also felt a bit unsafe.

Convenient Location, Clean Rooms

This time I booked a double room as I didn't like the size of the single bedroom on my first stay. I found great improvement in my whole experience. I felt comfortable in a double bedroom. The bathroom was newly renovated and VERY clean!!!

The location is centrally located. Both public transportation and walking distance to places were very close. The hotel has a hologram check in setup. It was novel and effective.

Good Stay

great locationcharming restaurantsquick responseefficient staff
I found the location great , near many restaurants and shops. A short walk at night revealed charming open restaurants , also with fine views. I left my bracelet in my room while rushing to the airport, but the staff responded quickly without extra effort. They arranged to ship it to me, I felt it was efficient.
The room temperature was too hot , and I could not adjust it using the thermostat on the radiator.

Mixed Experience, Cleanliness and Support Issues

convenient locationpoor cleanlinessabsent air conditioning
The location proved convenient for exploring the area.
The room cleanliness was unacceptable, with hairs present in the room and dust in several places. There was no air conditioning, and the room became uncomfortably hot. I had a very poor experience with their online support. I never received a response when double-checking the legitimacy of their emails, potentially compromised.
