Die Port van Cleve Hotel

We were pleased with the location, but our room smelled of sulfur, there was alot of noise at night, our early wake up call never came and the hotel resturant has a poor breakfast and over priced.

This is my second stay at this Hotel. It is well located, about ten minutes walk from Central Station. Right next to the Magna Plaza shopping Center, The Dam Square right across the street, and the Red Light District at about 5 minutes walk. Therefore it's all about location, i would recomend this Hotel based on location.

This site of the original Heineken brewery is a stones throw from the Royal Palace, Dam Square, Damrak, and shopping boulevard. A perfect launch point for museums and galleries. The key is to advance book the breakfast buffet at check-in for a discount. This buffet is fantastic. Bathtubs are so spotless they welcome you to jump right in. Flat screen […] TV and elevators in lieu of the crazy canal house stairs were nice to have. Leer más

Overpriced. Not sure how this can be a 4* hotel. Everytime we needed something, we would be left queuing at the reception desk for at least 15 mins (usually listening to others complaining about their rooms).

The Hotels Location is amazing, walking distance to most of the attractions. The hotel is very old, and well i guess could use some renovation. The staff are friendly. The only problem i had was that the rooms were small and the whole hotel is really old. If you are looking for just a place to sleep and do not care about how the room looks, then the […] location is excellent. Leer más

This is a wonderful hotel. It is close to everything, is very clean and comfortable, and has all of the ammenities. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We found it to be very quiet - no crazy, loud people running the halls, or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Amsterdam who wants a safe, comfortable […] place to stay. Leer más

The hotel was wonderful. Staff was very helpful, breakfast was good and the hotel was located in the perfect spot. The room was small but didn't spend much time in it. Too much to do and see.

1. Wifi didn't work in the room I was initially given. 2. The manager was not helpful and was completely aggravating to deal with 3. my initial room smelled like the inside of a commercial kitchen due to the fact it was located right above the kitchen and that was the view from my window. 4. While in the room I would hear the kitchen staff that was […] standing below the window talking in dutch. 5 No A/C in the rooms 6 The restaurant connected to the hotels was good 6. Then when checking out their credit card machine wasn't working properly and even after I called and my credit card company told them there was nothing wrong with my card they want me to pay some other way.

You can't do better in Amsterdam than this. But there is no A/C if it's unusually hot.

Die Port Van Cleve Hotel is great! We stayed for two nights. The room was clean and the bed was comfy! The front desk people were helpful and friendly. The location is amazing as you can walk everywhere. There is a grocery store very close by and a great vegetarian restaurant. The hotel bar was nice as you can sit outside and relax! Try some of their […] Drjopes! Yummy black licorice! Leer más

The Port Van Cleve is a nice Hotel. Very well placed. The Dam square at about 50 meters, the Magna plaza next to it, the Central Station at about 15 minutes walk, the Red Light District at 5 minutes walk, indeed very well placed. The room was smaller than i expected but clean. Staff very courteous and friendly. I will defenetely stay in this Hotel  […] again Leer más

Great location for all the action. Staff was friendly and helpful but some were kind of seedy. Gave us a room in the core of the hotel away from the noisy exterior parts. Forgot I stayed here 7 years ago and it hasn't gotten any better. Same nik naks in the lobby. Same scary elevator. Same gloomy interior. Breakfast was not included and clerk insisted […] that $18 US was a great price. Found it strange when he made a copy of my plane reservations. Also strange that they charged us a city tax on checkout (even though room was paid in full)just like last time. Didn't turn on all the lights in room out of fear of what I might see. Lamp mounted on wall fell off when my wife turned it on. If you want a place close to the action this is it. If you want comfort this isn't. Leer más

This was the first hotel we stayed at on our 7 country/ 3.5 week tour of Europe. The location of this hotel is amazing. You can walk to almost all of the major tourist sites including the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, the Central Train Station and it is directly across the street from Dam Square (I would recommend doing a one-day hop-on-hop-off […] tour to hit the few remaining sites that are a little too far to walk to, like the Van Gogh museum). The outside of the hotel is beautiful, but the inside is a little shabby. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, but dim, with bits of peeling wallpaper and itty bitty windows. Don't be surprised by the split level rooms (the bed and tv etc are four steps down from the bathroom and door). Overall, I would stay here again simply because the staff was very pleasant and helpful (they printed out maps for everything we needed, explained how to use the public transit and gave great directions) and the location was very central. If you aren't carrying too much baggage, you can easily walk from the central train station to this hotel. It is about a 20 minute ride from the airport (we took a shuttle for about 14 euro each, but were later told that the tram is very easy to use from the airport). Leer más

If you are looking to be in the center of activity you will like the location. I was looking for a place within easy walking distance of everything and this was a perfect fit. The hotel itself is a bit run down but that was more than made up for by the staff which was amazing. They were uniformly helpful and friendly. if you don't plan to spend time […] in your room, this may work for you. Leer más

The room was larger than any that I stayed in during a trip to multiple cities in Europe. Not large by American standards but not tiny. The location was within easy walking distance of the train station and the tram stopped right in front of the hotel.

It was a very clean hotel. The staff was great ad the location was central near the museums,Anne Frank House,other tourist attractions and train station.

The tram stops at the front door of the hotel. This means you can get to any part of the city in a matter of minutes with the help of a tram map. The hotel offers a nice buffet breakfast. It is offered for a special rate for guests. This special rate offer is based on guests taking breakfast every day of their visit. In other words if you agree to […] the special buffet rate you are authorizing them to bill your room a daily breafast charge even if you skip a morning. fyi.... Leer más

hotel is great good location, rich history built in 1869 and was heineke brewlry. good food 5min from train station tram #5 20min from airport be train. KLM has a van that take you to the hotel. you cannot go wrong with this hotel..

This is great location, And this hotel has a rich history, it my be older building, but in 1869 it was the first Heineken brewery . Rooms are great, the bathroom has a deep tub. And tram stop is just out the door. From the rail-station take the # 5. till you see a big church on the left the hotel is just across the street. You will be happy with this […] hotel. Leer más

I was satisfied with Van Cleve; room was typical european central city room (beds fit in the room, small desk, not crowded but not large) and the staff was strikingly pleasant. of course no ice or fridge. Weekday price was good, weekend price was high.

The location is very convenient to all tourist destinations. Our room was very small, but perfectly adequate. Staff is friendly, but they often seem a little confused, and they gave us erroneous directions to a restaurant that should have been easy.

We walked in as the maid services was taking a bath towell, and wiping the glasses on the desk with it. I asked him if that was they always did, not put out clean glasses, he said yes. I looked around the cleaning room, no evidence of clean glasses any where. I wonder how many people drank out of the cup before us? I almost threw up when I saw that. Also […] the restrauant, if you go there, the service is terrible, you will see there usually only 2 or 3 people in there at any one time. Looks very nice. But when you sit for at least 10 minutes waiting for someone to come to wait on you, that is way too long. Location was good. Leer más

This hotel is in a great location in the center of Amsterdam. You can walk almost everywhere, or jump on a trolley in front of the hotel. The room was very tight. We had 2 twin beds, but not much space to walk around or put the suitcases on the floor, and there was little closet space. The bathroom was excellent, clean and spacious. Street noise made […] it hard to fall asleep. Breakfast was very good and so was the restaurant. I would ask for a more spacious room next time. Leer más

Wonderful hotel, highly recommended.

All in all, you just cannot beat the price for the hotel's quality and location. 4 min walk to the train station, 10 min with luggage (2 suitcases, 1 carry-on, and a laptop bag). The hotel is only connected to the Magna Plaza (Mall), and when you walk outside, you are looking at the back of the Royal Palace, so you're literally a 30 second walk from […] Dam Square. Their breakfast buffet is excellent and even though most rooms do not include breakfast, they do have vouchers available for guests that allows a discounted from of 12.50e (down from 19.50e), for your entire stay if you'd like. I'm going back to the Netherlands in december, and i will definitely book a room at the hotel, without a doubt. Leer más

This hotel is in an old Heineken brewery and is a nice building, however the hotel itself could use some updating. We arrived early evening and were given what we thought to be a dump of room. The room had a moldy smell, the window would'nt stay open unless you put a stick in the frame, and was beyond small. When we kindly asked the staff to move us […] to another room given the findings of our original room and the first front desk person refused to move us stating "they're all booked", and when i mentioned that this room was'nt acceptable another staff person kindly relocated us to a larger and better smelling room. However the beds could use replacing, you could feel all the springs in both mattresses. There's a mall next to the hotel as well as a market a half bolck away thats open till 22:00. Leer más

The Die Port van Cleve Hotel is a wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam. The location was perfect and the staff was very accomodating when an issue arose with our room. The only downside was the size of the room but that is typical for the Amsterdam area. I would highly suggest this hotel.

My first room was (almost) comically uncomfortable. Small, noisy, dimly lit (especially in bathroom), and poorly ventilated. The one window that could ventilate was a couple of feet from a brick wall and required that I stand on the desk to open it. It had defective hardware and required so much force to open and shut that several times I almost fell. […] At my request, the hotel moved me to a different room (without me asking what was wrong). This had a slightly more comfortable living area, but the toilet paper roll was mounted shoulder height and in such a tight space as to require one to do acrobatics in order to use the facility.

I believe I paid the right price for the hotel, which was lower than what it usually charges. The hotel is really a 3 star. However it is a great location.

We loved the location and the staff at Die Port van Cleve. Our room was clean and comfortable. Room had some wear and tear on it, but very serviceable. We enjoyed our stay!

A bit run down, but comfortable. VERY convenient location.

This hotel was way more than we expected. It is located on the border of Dam Square with so many things to do in the area as this is a popular square. Also you can see the train station from the hotel so you could actually walk to your hotel from the train. The room was very roomy, flat screen tv, wi-fi free access, and they offer room service. The […] only things I didn't like were the window, there was one window and it was very small kind of like an attic room so there was not much light even with the lamps provided, and the drain in the shower was slow and I hate standing in bath water while you shower. This hotel was great for location and has a lot of history definitely would stay there again. Leer más

no complaints whatsoever, maybe due a quick makeover but all in all had great location, decent service and very (too) comfortable room.

i have stayed in this hotel a few times now and so i must like it! its best features are its location and the staff are friendly. rooms are of a good standard and if there is a problem it is they are ,in my experience, a little smaller than other 4 star hotels.but not too small as to be a problem. the rooms have all the usual facilities -the best features […] being a very good bathroom and an exellent tv with access to radio/music/internet. rooms are clean however there is sometimes a little traffic noise from the road alongside the hotel. having said that,it wasnt a problem for me.the only small improvement i would like to see is storage for clothing. the wardrobe (with safe) is fine but there is no other storage for clothing in the room and so its the suitcase that is the home for some of your clothing. overall, its a good hotel. especialy if you get a good deal. i noticed a discount if 4 nigts were booked and with this in mind the hotel was very good value for money.

Promising since its location was excellent, 4* hotel with a nice looking reception. Unfortunately, the room was absolutely tiny. There were also only about five small lamp shades in the room, so even with all the lights on it still seemed dark. Average shower with minimum extras (soap/glasses/shampoo). Very disappointed.

this was a nice hotel at a great location but it felt like a really good 2 star then a 4 star hotel. I have stayed in amsterdam before at a cheaper price and it was a 3 star hotel which was great!

Needless to say I was very disappointed with this hotel. I had read some good reviews and thought it would be a nice 4* hotel but this was definitely not the case. We arrived at around 5.30pm to a very nice member of staff, the lobby looked beautiful and a nice staircase. We were given a keycard for room 309 so we got in the lift and went to the 3rd […] floor and found the room. The room was so small I couldn't believe it. There was just enough room to walk around the twin beds; there was a table and 1 chair shoved in the corner but not comfortable to sit at because it was squeezed in between a dressing table and 1 of the beds. The wardrobe was literally 1/4 the size of an average wardrobe. It could just about fit 5 wooden hangers. The TV was ok, not too big but a nice plasma on the wall. The bathroom was very small also; the shower was in the very tiny bath, I didn't mind using it but the shower curtain was absolutely disgusting so I refused to pull that across. Also, for paying for a 4* hotel you get no toiletries.. although there is some soap stuck to the wall. I was really not impressed with this hotel at all. I booked this hotel to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and I was very disappointed.. I didn't mind the room as we were rarely in it but for the price I paid I would have expected a lot more.. this is an average 3* hotel - infact I have stayed in nicer 3* hotels. There are nicer hotels around the Dam square, I won’t be back to this 1. Leer más

Perfect location, great historical value and quiet.

Our two week visit in Europe was to end in Amsterdam and I decided to stay in a little nicer room so I booked a suite with a King bed in the Die port Van Cleve. This booking gave us a room we could not believe. We were on the top floor in a corner room with views that were unbelievable. The room was very spacious with seating for 6 in the sitting area […] and a table with 6 chairs for dining. The bed was in a spacious area to the side almost not noticed from the living area. Although expensive the room seemed a bargain for the price. The location could not have been better, on the tram line and near central station you could get everywhere easily including museums, the flower market, canal tours, etc. We would definitely stay again.

Staff and room - very nice. No problems at all. Very clean, and bathroom is well lit and large, w/nice deep tub. Free internet connection in room. Location is great. Walk from Central Station or take a cab for a short ride if you have allot of luggage.
