City Heart Station Amsterdam

Excellent location, comfortable accommodation & friendly host

9.0

Amsterdam was absolutely amazing, so much to see & do! Don’t expect to lose weight when you’re there, even with all the walking! The location was perfect with a tram stop metres away & Amsterdam Central just a short manageable walk with luggage. The host was fantastic as we had to change flights so we’re late arriving & he was very accommodating

− Nothing, crazy stairs everywhere but don’t complain about it as that’s part of it’s culture & quirkiness!

The location was excellent, very close to Amsterdam Central Station and within walking distance of the main attractions, restaurants, and canals. It was especially convenient for our short stay before continuing our trip to Iceland. The apartment was also quite spacious for such a central location.

− The stairs were very steep, which was quite inconvenient with luggage. The apartment itself felt rather basic and a bit worn compared with the price. Overall, you are clearly paying mainly for the excellent location rather than for the comfort or facilities of the apartment.

Stay Away from Here. Bait and Switch. Waste of money.

The location is the only thing this place has going for it

− I left the property within 3 hours of being there and booked another hotel. I will admit due to certain circumstances I made the mistake of booking this place. They do state it is an apartment but I mistakenly interpreted it being called “city heart station” as the name of a boutique hotel with multiple apartment style rooms because they present a photo on this listing of nice White building that presents itself as the building housing the room. It is not at all. This is located above a convenience store of a rundown looking building. The room does not look like the photos. They present it like a nice hotel like room. In actuality, it is dark, old bedding, furniture that doesn’t match photos. Apt is Dark & old lighting, The bathroom is DARK. The one light it has barely illuminates It has two old fans that do not cool the space, none are present in the photos. Had they been I would have realized it has no AC. The listing doesn’t mention AC so that is also my fault, but images of the fans could have clued me in. The staircase is a death trap. Be prepared to struggle to get up with suitacases, likely almost fall getting up/down as we did. The room/ furnishings are stuffy /rundown/ old looking compared to the photos. They advised me to contact the manger via WhatsApp to let them know if we have questions. I messaged & asked if the room is ready when we arrive if we can leave the luggage. They said if not ready we can leave with someone at the store (this should have been my first warning sign but by this point I had already paid the total amount). We arrived at 11am, the store clerk said we could leave the but there but changed his story and said we can take it up but check in is still 3pm. We go in and the room is fully ready. Convinced no one was there at all before our stay. We changed for 20 mins, store clerk upset w us because owner was now mad. Couldn’t explain why we couldnt have room now. Made us feel like his job was at risk.
