Hotel Corner House

the scottish girl bartending was very nice

my bed had bed bugs. i will never go here again.

Central and close too everything, but then again i`s Amsterdam, everything is close. We got enough with clean towels. Breakfast was ok.

Our room was on the first floor on toward the church, a street with only pedestrian. Luckily, because the traffic on the street Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal was really heavy, with noisy trams latterly all the time, sometimes 2 each way or after each other. We was also bothered a lot by that traffic, but I feel sorry for the people with room facing towards that street. Having a room 1 first floor wat not a pleasant ordeal for one week, since there was no air-condition and very hot we needed to keep the windows open and had to listen party people going to and from the 2-3 coffee shops and bars a few meters from the hotel. The hotels bar had also people sitting right under the room smoking all kinds of things people smoke in the Netherlands. So as non-smoker it was not pleasant to smell in the room this trying to sleep. The street noise gave in about 02-03, but at about 06, all other kind of noises started, traffic with motorcycles with what appears to be motorcycles with tuned and noise exhaust, garbage trucks working directly under our window, several early mornings a very noisy automotive sweepers worked slowly right under our window. The whole room literally shook during that work. All this noise and activity’s is perhaps not that uncommon for a stay in Amsterdam, but a few unnecessary noises I thing that the hotel should and easily could fix. The entrance door, hallway doors, room doors all was creaking loud and the door pump was so hard that everytime a nightly gust walked inn and around the doors slammed loud. The bathroom mirror was missing, the toilet brush was very unpleasant so why not fix these small things? The key cards was annoying, they stopped to work all the time, so we had to go down to the bar and wait for the right person to arrive and fixs the keys, everyday! The stairs was narrow and hard to climb. The pictures show how close the noisy garbage truck and sweepers came to window in 1 floor.

Location is great

four flights of stairs if you are older this will be a problem. No actual reception its more of a restaurant with rooms than a actual hotel.
