Smooth check-in. Was expecting mini-fridge to keep out lunch stuff cold but there wasn’t one so had to bin our second day lunch which was annoying. No loo roll & aircon didn’t work so struggled to sleep. We have pretty low standards, so just went with it as literally just slept in the room

Please whatever you do, DO NOT stay here. Pay a little extra and go somewhere else. If I could give this place negative starts then I would. The whole room smelled like body odor. The wall paper was peeling off. The bathroom door handle was broken and we couldn’t open the door at times. The walls were thin, we could hear our neighbors daily. There was mold in the bathroom ceilings. There was never anyone at the front desk.

Bed hurt our backs. The shower was a wash room which was not advertised. The door handle to the bedroom was broken and locked us in (fire risk). We found fake eyelashes on the bed. No one on the front desk when we walked past both days to ask to switch rooms. The window was so high up we couldn’t reach it. The tv didn’t work and wasn’t set up on any channels. Not worth the money

This place was awful there were holes I. The doors most if the wallpaper had been peeled off the carpet was filthy. Room stated city view the only view was of the pavement from a tiny window so high up it was almost impossible to see out of. Parking was street parking in a neighbourhood that wasn’t very desirable to say the least. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!

This has to be the wrose hotel i have stayed in.

The front reception was not manned 24/7 and anyone can walk into yhe hotel. When we arrived in the room, we was astonished at the state of the room. The room was not cleaned and was fully of mould. The back of the bed was full of wood chippings wherre they have quicky made a repair and there was blood stain on towel. It was awful..

There is not tea or coffee provided either.

Please avoid this hotel at all costs

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Do not be fooled by these positive reviews. This hotel and entire stay was tragic.

It started with having to pay extra tax upon arriving, as it wasn’t included in our booking. The receptionist said we didn’t have to pay as our toilet was broken by the previous guests. A review stated that in June 2025 they had faced the same issue with their toilet too, as seen in the photo. Our stay was in August 2025.

After cancelling the “tax” and witnessing the state of our toilets, we realised we were missing amenities which were promised upon booking, such as: towels, a hairdryer, a safe, and those are the only ones i can list from memory.

The receptionist was never at his desk, only there when we checked in, and even then, when we approached the hotel for the first time, he was outside having a smoke. Not a good impression. He was unable to contact.

The room was never cleaned, our beds were never made, and bins never emptied. It is an insect infection waiting to happen, and by the looks of other reviews, they appear to face bed bug issues as well.

I do not recommend this hotel to anybody, it should not be rated three stars (2 is being generous).

The location is ideal, but for the condition of the room, unprofessional staff and failing to meet promised goods, do not go here. It is not worth it. Do not waste your money.

when we arrived there was no one at the reception for 5 minutes and no way to get anyone’s attention. Just before we got our keys we were told that we had to pay a €10 tourist tax. We stayed in room 306 and noticed that the toilet hadn’t been previously flushed which was quite vile. As well as this the AC didn’t work, there was writing on the wall,

Unfortunately, in the first room i was given, the toilet was broken and the water was running all day and night long. I was given another room and was allowed to use both rooms.
The guy at the reception was nice and easy to talk to.
For checking-in you have to call or wave your hand at the camera in the entrance.

I have been asked by yourselves to review my stay in the Golden Zaan Hotel Amsterdam Zaandam so here goes.

Quite simply put, this was the dirtiest most scummy hovel I have ever encountered in life. I am shocked this hovel can even be advertised as a Hotel by yourselves! At best it is a hostel.

Whilst I have stayed at an assortment of hotels over my 67 years of age, I am not particularly fussy. Both myself and my wife have two minimum requirements from a hotel. Firstly a decent bed and pillow with clean sheets to get a comfortable nights sleep. Secondly, a decent shower facility with hot and cold running water. This establishment failed on both of these.

This hotel is good if you only plan to sleep and not stay in much. Bed sheets were ripped, drain was stinking. Towel in the room was dirty, I left it at reception before we went out and I came to collect one in the afternoon. I was given the same dirty yellow stained towel. Staff were okay but you have to talk to a camera to get them to come to you

Do NOT be fooled by the reviews on here, always check trip advisor!!!
This hotel shouldn’t even be running, it needs to be burnt down!!
From the minute we got there, we waited 45 minutes for someone to come and check us in, even after trying to call the hotel number three times (which I was charged for)
As we walked up the stairs (no lift) my partner could only describe the smell as ‘a damp old caravan’
When we entered the room, we first off noticed the stained, two bob “blinds” and the walls and ceiling were covered in laminate FLOORING! Which may I add, some missing so left a creepy open bit of ceiling above the bed.
I then, reluctantly, went into the bathroom and it is only what I can describe as a 3 in 1, you can brush your teeth, whilst having a toilet and showering at the same time. To my surprise I opened the toilet roll flap and there lay TWO USED SANITARY TOWELS rolled up and the stench.. WOW.. Even when using the sink, the smell of sewage stunk out the whole bedroom.
Unfortunately, for us, we couldn’t book another hotel so we ended up staying the night, only sleeping and getting out as soon as possible. After multiple times going down to reception and calling again & again, we still were not able to see anyone at the front desk or tell anyone about this.
This hotel is listed as a 3 star and from the reviews and photos based on this website, is the reason we booked. I understand it’s cheap and you get what you pay for but this was another level. DO NOT BE FOOLED

It was really dirty. The hotel is very old with lots of humidity. First the receptionist gave a room that was really dirty, i asked him to change the room and he kindly did it. The new room was better but still dirty. I did not like this hotel when i compare it with other hotels that I reserved with the same price. In total, i give 1 star out of 5 to this property.

We entered the the golden zaan which we booked through Expedia and was asked straight away for extra money which we were not told about. Then once we entered the room it was dirty and smelly and had nothing inside apart from a bed which was also filthy and disgusting. On Expedia it was said that the room that we had booked had a mini fridge and that it was a queen bed room this was nothing like described and the pictures were also falsely advertised as the room looked nothing like this. We could not stay there and explained this to reception, as we booked through Expedia they had said we need to issue the refund through you. Then management ignored the calls and denied the refund. Such poor experience from both the hotel and Expedia. Expedia were very unsupportive and said they cannot do anything as the hotel did not give permission. Expedia are falsely advertising this hotel and this should not be allowed! Very bad customer service from both sides and will not be using Expedia again!

Honestly this is barely a hotel. No amenities, terrible facilities. No shampoo, Conditioner, hand soap. The only shower gel was a quarter of a bottle of some ones dove shower gel that looks like it was left there. When we arrived no one was at the reception, the hotel smelled strange and was a little creepy. Our room wasn't fully clean. There was lipstick on the mirror, the drain in the shower was displaced. The bed sheet was too small for the bed and wouldn't stay on. There was burns/stains on the duvet, brown stains/mess on the walls and stains on the curtains. Additionally the AC remote was on but no batteries were in the remote. Plus we found a used vape underneath the bed. We were provided with two towels, (for two adults), to last us the 4 nights. And the shower/wet room is dingy, with the shower space being too small so the wet cold shower curtain will stick to you when using it. Sadly there wasn't any breakfast or anything, which is fine, but there wasn't even a kettle or the necessary amenities in the room to make tea.

No one came to clean our room during this stay or provide more towels. In fact we had to ask for more toilet paper as we ran out very quickly. When we checked out there wasn't any staff there to see us off.

If not for the fantastic activities we had planned in the city, I think we would have struggled to enjoy ourselves. This hotel seems more like a hostel with private rooms/bathrooms. I think they could easily do a lot more improve their service.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Other than the man behind the desk being somewhat helpful after we waited for 20 minutes for someone to show up this place should be off this website. I don’t leave reviews normally cause it’s kinda tedious. Let’s start with walking into the room and the door doesn’t even need a key to work. Next there was a guy in the room literally re-caulking the bathroom. Walked into the room and there was a bed bug on the bed. I went to grab a tissue to throw it in the toilet and there was unflushed poop in the toilet. There was brown mold coming out from the wall and a pube on the bed. I left 5 minutes after walking in. When trying to get a refund because they charged us 600 dollars for the room that I was in for 5 minutes there was no help. No manager to talk to no one to answer. Never give this place your money. Stay away!

Market very close with cheap food and amazing breads. Short walk to bus station, 30 ish minutes outside of Amsterdam. Perfect if you get the Amsterdam card the bus line is included and you save a lot being outside of the city. If you don't mind local market food and cheap water with some walking, this was a fun stay for my trip.

We was staying for just over 5 days and on our first night our room was moved and we was not informed so we entered the room with none of our stuff inside and other peoples luggage.

Later on in our stay our keycard to the door stopped working and when we eventually got hold of the guy he told my mate to piss off twice

- Front desk is always empty, guests are expected to phone a mobile number to get the attention of the staff.

- Phone won’t be answered and staff will turn up after five or six rings.

- Key to the room stopped working each night and had to get the staff to rewrite the card.

- Second night the key didn’t work, staff decided to block my number so I couldn’t get a hold of them. Luckily the guest in the next room key didn’t work and could get through.

- Room was falling apart, light removed and left with exposed wiring in the bathroom. Mirror was falling off the wall, wallpaper was ripped off the wall, there was an electrical burn in the one corner of the room. Fridge only produces heat when plugged in.

- No clean towels each day.

- Cleaning equipment left in the halls.

- Hallway to rooms has exposed walls and missing wallpaper.

Shower curtain not shower cubicle. Bottom of curtain has mould. One morning we had a load of tiny little flies come out of the drain in the shower. If you don’t use shower curtain everything gets wet. When we arrived we had to request 2 hand towels and a bin. When we asked for bin to be emptied next day it wasn’t done. The area outside the hotel was very run down. But the staff were lovely.

The room was so dirty and disgusting I didn’t feel comfortable laying in the bed. Right after I had walked into my room a random person used a key to get into my room while I was in there, she said sorry and walked out, she was not a hotel employee. I no longer felt comfortable leaving my passport and belongings in the room after my encounter with the random person. I showed up a little early and was advised my room was not ready yet, he said he would call me when it was ready and I got no notification from the receptionist that cleaning was finished, I walked back in at normal check in time and was given access then. The receptionist was unfriendly. When I got into my room I immediately noticed the sheets on the bed had not been washed, it was not vacuumed, I found gum on the wall, to clean the bathroom they just hosed it down with the shower and let water sit on everything no drying. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, dust everywhere, no channels on the tv, no tv remote, no soaps in the bathroom of ANY kind. The bed was stained and looked like someone took it out of a trash can. Hair from the previous tenants all over the sheets. There was what looked to be blood splattered on the wall. The blinds weren’t even hung up correctly. Rusty toilet paper holder.

This place was very dirty. Our sheets had blood stains all over them, the sheets didnt fit properly and so the yellow pillows and ripped dirty mattress topper were both exposed. They were responsive when we let them know, and changed the sheets, but it was gross to check in to that.

The bathroom was quite dirty as well.

At one point our keycard did not work (at midnight), but on-call reception came and fixed that for us. Friendly staff, but the lack of cleanliness was disappointing.

Ok place for a night or two, but nothing more

Location is decent and possible to get in-out via train or buses. Some 15-min walk with your luggage if taking public transportation. Price was alright. Otherwise, you could almost hear pindrop from every side. Someone walking around floor above, kids running around in hallway or guys drinking/shouting in the street. Bathroom is small - well manageable, but at some point there was water dripping from bathroom ceiling.

I would only book a stay with this “hotel” if you are absolutely only looking for a bed to sleep in. There was paint peeling off the walls, when booking our room we were promised a fridge, what a surprise, no fridge. Could not figure out how to work the safe in room, when we asked the front desk the only response we got was “they took the key”, not even sure what that was supposed to mean. No hand soap to wash our hands, no hand towels. The “washroom” is basically just one big shower, there is no separation between the shower and toilet/sink. Once you take a shower the entire bathroom is flooded. I would recommend wearing sandals to shower to avoid disease. When we asked about laundry service the front desk worker just kind of grunted and said “ya we have it but you’ll get your clothes back in a few days” which does not sound trustworthy at all. Avoid this hotel unless you literally just need a bed to sleep in, we ended up checking out early because we couldn’t handle staying in this dump for a full 7 days.

When I booked, I booked on the basis that parking was included only to arrive and find out that there was no parking included but what was meant was that there is free parking around the property. No apology for this was forthcoming, but rather a curt response informing me of the free parking AROUND the hotel. Reception smelt of vomit and continued to do so for the duration of our stay. The room itself smelt of damp or something and was filthy. We found the police in the hotel on the day we arrived and although we were reassured that they were doing some checks (whatever they may be) we were reliably informed by a neighbour (as we had parked outside their house for 3 days) that the police were there at least once a week. I resolved to talk to the hotel manager about all this, just as soon as I was asked if everything was alright, but this never happened, although he was always very polite.
All in all, I regret booking this hotel and would not recommend a stay there.

This hotel was very basic - no coffee/tea facilities at all and after a certain time of the evening there is no where to get a bottle of water or any refreshments for your room. There was only two pillows on the small double bed and the quilt wasn't big enough for the bed, I think it was a single quilt or a very small double, it didn't even flap over the edges on the bed, the bed wasn't comfortable either (but this is likely a matter of opinion).

The bathroom was very compact and when we arrived there was only half a roll of toilet roll, to be fair though when we asked we were given some immediately. We stayed for 3 nights and there wasn't any housekeeping at all, our room or bathroom wasn't cleaned for the whole duration of our stay.

Die Unterkunft befand sich bei unserer Ankunft in einem absolut unzumutbaren Zustand. Im Badezimmer war deutlicher Schimmelbefall an der Decke sichtbar, zusätzlich gab es massive Feuchtigkeits- und Wasserschäden, beschädigte Wand- und Deckenelemente sowie allgemein erhebliche Hygiene- und Abnutzungsmängel.

Der tatsächliche Zustand hatte nichts mit den veröffentlichten Bildern und der Beschreibung auf Expedia gemeinsam. Aus gesundheitlichen und hygienischen Gründen war eine Nutzung des Zimmers für uns ausgeschlossen.

Wir mussten die Unterkunft unmittelbar wieder verlassen und kurzfristig ein anderes Hotel buchen.

Leider absolut nicht empfehlenswert.
