Delta Hotel Amsterdam City Centre

the Delta Hotel is a very convenient hotel pretty much in Dam Square it is only a short distance to Amsterdam's central train station and lies on the edge of the red light district. it is close to most attractions and i found it to be in the perfect location and it was always very easy to find.

the rooms were of course Amsterdam small for anyone who has never been there that means TINY!! but it had everything i needed with my own little bathroom to so was good. my bed was very comfy so was able to get a good sleep. although it can be a little loud at times because it is so close to dam square. they also had a life which was very good as quit a lot of Amsterdam hotels dont even the more expensive ones

breakfast is included at the nice restaurant down stairs and you receive a discount on other meals you have there through the day. the reception staff are friendly and helpful.

i found this hotel to be exactly what i needed fairly cheap, great location, and exactly what i needed in a room not super pretty but comfortable!

Delta Hotel is located on the main strip of Amsterdam just a very short walking distance away from the Amsterdam Centraal Train Station. You are within a few minutes from the souvenir shops, the Sex Museum, the Red Light district, eating joints, smart shops, coffee shops, and general shopping without the use of a bike, car, bus, or tram.

Staff: The front desk clerk was very friendly and went out of his way to assist us getting settled in. I believe his name was Ulod (not sure of the spelling).

Check-in: Check-in is at 2pm. If you arrive early, you can leave you bags/luggage at the front desk. The clerk recommends you keep your passport with you for obvious reasons. They will provide you with one card key, and TV remote control. Additionally, they will provide a different type of card key dedicated for the TV to access movies. There is a charge for these movies. The normal TV channels are free.

The place: The lobby was small and did not offer much in terms of a lounging area and wasn't too aesthetically pleasing. The elevator was small which seems to be a constant in any european hotel of this type. They do have stairs if you prefer that option. The hotel is connected to a restaurant next door. This is where you can get a complimentary breakfast if you so desire. Breakfast is served between the hours of 7am to 10am.

The hotel room I was given came with two twin beds (as requested) since I was accompanied by a friend of mine. The room was naturally small but big enough to move about. There are no mini bars... not that I would use it. The balcony is accessible but covered with a tarp since they are in the middle of doing renovations on the front of the building. The balcony door did not lock properly which was a slight concern to me.

The toilet (water closet, or bathroom, depending where you come from) was of modest size. Noted water stains on the ceiling but overall the bathroom was clean. They have 2 soap dispensers. One located by the sink and one by the bathtub. The bathtub did not have any shower curtains to keep the water from spraying on the bathroom floor. There were no showerhead mount to mount the shower head so you are either left with taking a bath, or cleaning yourself using one hand while holding the shower head with the other hand. I can only speak for the room we were in.

The bed was comfortable for me since I spent the last 9 hours touring around Amsterdam. I slept well but woke up a couple of times from the heavy footfalls coming from the ceiling, and the loud conversations from folks in the other rooms hanging out in their balconies.

Check-out time: Check-out time is at 11am. You must bring back you room card key, TV card key, and the TV remote control to the front desk to properly check out the hotel.

I would recommend this hotel only those as a place to drop your bags and to crash for the night after a long day (and night) of touring around Amsterdam, shopping, and enjoying the nightlife.
