This is my go-to hotel in Amsterdam and I’ve been coming her for about 25 years. I only had a bad experience once, and it wasn’t really that bad. It’s just that, as a senior, I need access to a room without stairs and I had stairs.

This time, I was on the main floor and that suits me well. I was able to stay in the room without any interruption. I don’t need fresh towels or to have the room cleaned and bedding changed daily. I don’t make a mess, so I really appreciated that.

Location is excellent; near Dam Square and tram stop. The staff is friendly and sometimes helpful, and the lobby coffee maker was appreciated.
But room has only one hard plastic chair (no place for second person to sit), no microwave, and old worn carpet. Also there is a dangerous large step (about 8 inches) into and out of the bathroom. Unable to control temperature in room without asking staff member at front desk make the adjustment. Sloping floor toward wall at side of room makes walking, especially in the middle of the night, risky. Some kind of rolled up useless dirty carpet along that side wall. Only got one housekeeping service, out of 6 days, 5 nights. Some of the days we asked for no room service but would’ve appreciated at least one more day, which we requested, maybe the 21st or 22nd to empty garbage cans and remove wet towels off the floor. When we asked the desk if we could have housekeeping service because our garbage cans were overflowing, she just said “well there’s additional plastic garbage bags underneath your trash bag.” In other words, “take out your own trash, put in your own new trash bag, here’s some towels.” Isn’t housekeeping one of the advertised services what we were paying almost $400 a night for? Because it certainly wasn’t for a modern, well kept up, warm at our desires, safe and convenient to walk around or sit in, room. Also, the breakfast should be included. We won’t be staying here again.

For a budget property, we found this to be an excellent choice. Very well located between Dam Square and the Jordaan, and only a 15 minute walk to Central Station where a lot of the tours go from. There was a tram stop a block away and a subway stop 5 minutes away. The family room was very roomy and comfortable. Quite a bit of street noise on the front side so be aware of that - we had earplugs so didn't not have an issue with it. We did not partake of the breakfast so cannot comment on the food, but we saw it and it looked like a great spread.

Orange juice reconstituted.

In a fairly quiet area at night, but convenient to shopping, canals, 9 streets and walking distance to all sights.
Supermarket close by.
20 minute walk from train.
Comfortable room. Would recommend more vacuuming as socks found under bed from previous guest.
Terrible lumpy pillows.
Bathroom small. Not enough storage space for two people.
Building works going on outside room for 3 days. Luckily not there for most of the time.

Estuvimos dos noches, la limpieza de la habitación fue pésima, solo tendieron las camas y las tendieron dejando algo de nuestra ropa cubierta debajo de las sábanas, se notaba el bulto de ropa debajo de las sábanas, como no lo notaron? Una mesa estaba sucia con basura, platos, vasos y cubiertos y no recogieron ni limpiaron nada. En su momento no hicimos la queja porque ya salíamos al día siguiente pero nos pareció un descuido grande.

The Nova has been my go-to hotel for a very long time, but I don't think I can stay there again. I had requested a room accessible by elevator and none was available, so my friend and I, both of whom have mobility issues, had to climb stairs to our room, which wasn't always easy. The breakfasts were not free, although I didn't mind paying for them. The service was outstanding and the food was always good. I liked that the trams were a short walk from the hotel, too. So was Albert Heijn. It's not that I don't want to stay there again, it's that I don't think I can due to mobility issues. Thanks.

This hotel was a big disappointment. The room was tiny, had NO AC, and smelled bad as soon as we walked in.
The bedsheets smelled AWFUL, like they hadn’t been washed in a long time. You can see other reviews about this place.
The elevator was so small it only fit one person, and we still had to carry our bags up the stairs.

On the first night, someone tried to open our door at 3 am., which made us feel unsafe. I tried to call the frontdesk but no one answer.

During ours stay, It was so hot that we had to leave the window open, and my child ended up with mosquito bites. None of us could sleep.

We booked three nights but after found out they have no AC we decided to stay only one. The front desk said they would refund the other two nights, and I asked for a proof letter.
They gave me a receipt, but I never received the refund. When I followed up, the manager said they wouldn’t give the money back. It feels like they gave me a fake receipt just to avoid refunding me.

I would NOT recommend staying here

Great Location and Service, But No AC as Advertise

The coffee shop and bike rental are very close by, with good restaurants nearby as well. The service was fast, friendly, and patient. The room was nice and came with a reasonably large smart TV. However, there was no air conditioning despite the listing on Hotels.com stating otherwise. Only fans were available. Alright, tolerable. This was an information error, and I’ve learned to double-check such details before booking but it’s all good on my end.

I’m really glad I stayed at the hotel. It’s very conveniently located. One word of caution - which has nothing to do with the hotel - if you train in to Centraal Station it’s a long walk and the cobblestone roads make roller board use challenging.

The staff were all very helpful and great with directions and guidance. Everything I did was within walking distance. I didn’t use the tram but it’s right in front of the hotel.
