They have done a good job for cozyness but the property is very narrow, also there was a not great odor coming out of the shower drain, it was not awful but still not great.

The recepcionist is super nice, they let you leave your bags with them free of charge and the zone is amazing. Overall i recommend it, sadly the prices are high but thats for all amsterdam.

- Expensive (although in line with the AMS hotel prices)

- Traditional house - Close to Tram 14

The walls are very thin and you can hear other guests in and out of rooms. The bathrooms are very small and if you’re on the third floor be prepared to climb steep small stairs.

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful with recommendations. The rooms are spacious and you can easily access the centre by tram or walking.

Welcoming and helpful staff, comfortable mattress, good central location, luggage storage

The toilet was outside the room which was not informed earlier. The receptionist guy was rude when i asked for the invoice for the stay.

Location was good

It would have been nice to have a toilet as well as shower room, but it wasn't a problem as there was a toilet (and another bathroom) along the corridor. The stairs are very steep...not a problem for me, but not suited to unfit people!

Nice clean room, with shower room. Comfy bed (I was in a twin room), lovely view from the window. Friendly staff, free coffee. Very close to the Carre Theatre (about ten minutes' stroll), where I was going, to see Elbow. Also, only about 15 minutes walk from Centraal Station. Highly recommended ☺️

Having to use kettle in communal area rather than one mini in each room.

Pleasantly surprised with the hotel as booked if due to keeping costs down. It did not disappoint, very clean and tidy and has everything you need. Good location if you’re happy to walk a short distance into the centre. Quiet in the evenings when you’re ready to settle for the night.

reception very friendly, clean rooms and great location

Would prefer a kettle in the room as otherwise you have to pay a few euro for hot water in the common area downstairs. Even just a kettle and water downstairs considering the room cost.

Loved the location which has more of a locals feel to it. Very friendly, chatty and helpful staff. Comfy bed and good facilities in the room. Great common area downstairs with lounge, table and chairs and cutlery.

We did have a shower room, but no toilet so we had to use a shared one. It was very clean but tiny, not to everyone’s taste but not a huge problem. Our room was huge, on the top floor and would sleep four people as there was a double bed plus two singles. The only major issue would be the stairs - three VERY steep flights (more like ladders really) to reach the top floor. A bit tricky to negotiate even without luggage, so definitely not a choice for people with mobility issues as there is no lift. There is no air-conditioning either, so it might be a bit warm in hot weather. The staff were very friendly and helpful though, and we were able to leave our cases in reception after checking out so we could explore the city a little more before catching an afternoon train.

In a nice area and not too far from the centre, but far enough out to be nice and quiet at night. Comfortable bed and very clean.

The only downside is the unpolite staff member who has a American accent I think and always with cap. He seems such a opposite compared to the other staff. But we had a wonderful time there and I would recommend this hotel for others.

The hotel is clean and the staff is super nice and helpful. And specially the lovely lady in the staff who shared were the secret lighter is. She is awesome. 🙂

The only thing i can say is it would be nice if they had some water in reception for when i arrived. Whilst i understand that this is a budget hotel it would be nice if they could have provided tea/coffee as most budget hotels do give you this either in the room or in the reception area free of charge

Hotel is very clean and presentable, its a good, quiet location and the room was perfect for my needs as a single traveler for a long weekend.

It was very bad that there was a bathroom and no toilet in the room. This was the first time I encountered something like this.

I really like the ambiance and chilling vibe. When I went out to the window of the room, I saw a view of many roofs. It was a very sweet and interesting view. Location was okey it was 15 mins by walk to the bars. But there was no something like market close to the hotel.

The hotel sign in front of the door, could be larger or easily spotted. Sometimes rely on the google maps is not accurate.

The room is clean, I like its big window, especially in summer where there is no air-conditioning in the room, to keep it fully open while you're working inside felt fresh. The location is perfect, very close with my conference venue (UvA campus). Only 5 minutes walking, as expected.

Not really

The room was very nice. The shared bathroom was also clean.

Our shower drain randomly gurgled during the night and starting overflowing with smelly stagnant water. This is probably due to the property being quite old and old plumbing. We just had to keep running the shower to make the smell go away.

Well priced for Amsterdam and close to city centre.

Room it’s a bit small but I guess most of the places in the center of Amsterdam don’t have much space

The location it’s very nice with a tram station very close

The pillows could have been more comfortable, and it would’ve been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in our room rather than downstairs. Also, the toilet locks don’t display whether they’re engaged/vacant, so you need to knock before entering. Perhaps a flip sign would be helpful.

Hotel Hortus is ideally located in a quiet area just outside the city centre; we walked to all the attractions we visited everyday. The rooms are decently sized and we had no issues with the shared bathrooms/showers, which were always very clean. The staff are a huge asset to the property — thank you to the lady night receptionist for all the tips and generosity!

The dutch stairs were horrifying
