Das Hotel ist schön in Innenstadtnähe gegenüber dem Zoo gelegen. Leider waren die beiden gebuchten und bezahlten Doppelzimmer nicht verfügbar. Stattdessen hat man uns in ein 4 Bettzimmer im Keller untergebracht. Die Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen. Der sehr kleine, stickige Raum hatte zudem nur ein ganz winziges ungepflegtes Bad. Als Entschädigung […] gab es ein kostenloses Frühstück. Mehr

Es ist ein wohl ein typisch amsterdamer Hotel. Kleine Zimmer, noch kleineres Bad, aber für einen Kurztrip(wie bei uns übers Wochenende) absolut zu empfehlen. Zimmer war sauber und es ist wohl vor kurzem erst neu renoviert worden. Bahnhaltestelle ca. 100 m vom Hotel entfernt, somit ist man schnell in der Innenstadt.Nur der Frühstückspreis ist definitiv […] zu hoch - wir waren dadurch immer außerhalb Frühstücken. Für ein Wochenende mit 2 Personen die das Zimmer nur zum Schlafen benötigen ist das Hotel absolut empfehlenswert. Mehr

Sehr sauberes geräumiges Zimmer, ruhige Lage, gut mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar

Die größten Pluspunkte sind mit Sicherheit die 1A Matratzen - das Bett war hervorragend. Darüber hinaus ein Lob für die Sauberkeit der Zimmer, das kostenlose WLAN in der Lobby (ich hatte teilweise sogar noch im Zimmer Empfang), die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter sowie eine ruhige und doch mit den Öffis toll angebundene Lage. Größter Nachteil:"Amsterdam, […] oder wie platziere ich meinen Koffer um nicht gleich 50% der Zimmerfläche zu verlieren". -> Die Zimmer sind wirklich sehr klein, die Toilette für große Personen kaum zu verwenden, da man mit den Knien halb in der Dusche und unterm Waschbecken ist. Aber alles in allem ein sehr angenehmes Hotel, das ich ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken weiterempfehlen kann. Bei der Abrechnung wurden allerdings noch 2,9€ Kurtaxe pro Tag in Rechnung gestellt, die im hotels.com Preis nicht inkludiert waren. Mehr

Hotel was great, in a very quiet neighborhood. Was a four euro train ride from Schipol Airport and about ten minutes from Amsterdam Centraal via tram (although it is an easy 20 min. walk from Centraal). It was possible for us to see the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Heineken Brewery, and Red Light District all without taking public transportation. […] Hotel staff was able to lend us a voltage adapter when we forgot to pack one. Didn't try the breakfast but there was a great cafe right next door where we got hot chocolate and croissants for 3 euro. All in all a very pleasant experience! Mehr

This is one of those hotels you only get in places like London or Amsterdam or Paris. They don't really have to try very hard to get people in the rooms. The room was small with a nice view over a flat roof. Things generall worked. The shower, the hotwater, the desklamp - it all worked. It smelt like a hostel - the faint smell of smoke and the hoover […] only used in the centre of the room. But I have nothing to complain about, it just wasn't great value for money. Perhaps the most disappointing was the service at the frontdesk. Mechanical unflinching and cool. Service with a distant far off gaze wishing they were somewhere else. The problem is, if you greet all you guests this way, they probably wish the same. Come on - this is not a cheap hotel - a bit of vim and a spruce up. Mehr

The Hampshire is a decent place to find abode. Rooms were quite small but clean and equipped with a comfortable bed. There's a tram (line 9, goes to Central station) passing right outside the hotel, with a stop at a few steps. This is convenient for travel, but is also audible from rooms facing the street. Shower could have better water pressure.

Spent three nights at the hotel, very cosy, tidy and quiet hotel. Didn't use any hotel services, because the location and surroundings is really good. Small cafes and restaurants around the corner where You can get breakfast. Easy access with trams 9 and 14 from central station and attractions are very near. We recommend this hotel without reservations […] :) Mehr

My wife and I stayed here during Christmas week just before New Year's Eve. The price was much better than most places around so we were a bit skeptical, but what we found was a clean, conveniently located hotel that did the job. We requested an upper floor room based on some other user comments and ended up with a quiet spot on the 3rd floor. The room […] was small but clean. Only caveat: the bathroom was VERY small - be ready to have your knees touch the wall in front when using the toilet. But outside of that, the staff was friendly, and it was very easy to access central Amsterdam via tram or by foot. The trams that leave/arrive from the hotel stop (the 9 and 14) both come frequently and it's 5-10 mins to Dam Square. No fridge in the room but what can you do - at least they had beer in the vending machine downstairs. Overall, we'd stay there again. Perhaps ask if they have a room with a larger bathroom, but it's not a deal breaker. Mehr

Very nice hotel great service, nice room and price. I recommend it to everyone.

Nice quiet area, while still very convenient to Dam square - 8-10 minute bike ride. Hotel corridors look rather like a ship - cramped and a little tatty. Our room was comfortable but carpet was filthy. Asked to be moved after first night. Second room was better - carpet was clean, beds and bedlinen clean and comfortable. Hotel decor overall was a little […] shabby and jaded. Male receptionist was sullen and reluctant. 3 star decor and service for a 5 star price. Won't be staying here again. Mehr

Very nice hotel. Clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly. Comfortable beds too. Would stay again.

Conveniently located away from the centre of Amsterdam but within easy walking distance if the city centre (tram stop is within a few minutes walk too). Very clean and comfortable, the single rooms are OK for one person but the twin rooms may be a little small (particularly the bathrooms). However for a short stay it is ideal - we have used this hotel […] three time now and would certainly use it again. Mehr

The hotel is in a calm area of Amsterdam. In fact, the only noise you'll hear are the wild birds from across the street and the trams! Yes, while the trams are very handy and take you directly to the center in 5 minutes, they are also very noisy. If possible, ask for a room that doesn't face the street. Calm means a bit far off. It takes about 15 minutes […] of easy walking to get to Dam Square and the road leading there is lined with restaurants and food stalls as well as your standard tacky souvenir shops and so-called "coffeeshops". If you don't feel like walking that far, there are a couple of cafés and restaurants around the area, just ask at reception. For the party people, Rembrandtplein is around 5-10 minutes and the famous nightclub Trouw is about the same. I highly recommend Canvas, a rooftop bar right across Trouw. The view of Amsterdam is wonderful and they have excellent cocktails and great music. If you want to be in the absolute center, then the Lancaster is not for you. But it is an excellent hotel with very comfortable rooms and great service. I highly recommend it. P.S. Amsterdam is THE city for bikers. Biking from the Lancaster to the center will obviously be much faster than walking but, sadly, I can't tell you how long it will take as my stay in Amsterdam was without a bike due to the fact that my travel mate can't bike. :P Mehr

I stayed here about 7 years ago and the fact that the hotel is a little way out from the centre was more than made up for by the fact that it was clean, friendly, modern, with good facilities and was good value. This time the place has turned decidedly shabby: the carpets in particular were dirty, stained and old. The walls of the rooms were scuffed, […] and in general the place feels like it need some serious maintenance. That would be OK if the place was cheap, but for the prices charged one would expect much better. Also, if you do stay, I'd avoid being put in a room in the basement - these are just below ground level with windows that look out onto people's feet as they walk by on the pavement outside. Noisy and not very private! All in all you could do a lot worse, but you could do a lot better too. Decidedly "meh" overall. Mehr

the room was clean and comfortable. the fellow at the front desk (mohammed) was extremely helpful...he needs a raise!! however, breakfast was uneatable...sausages and scrambled eggs were ice cold and hard as a rock...quite expensive breakfast that was horrible! best to eat somewhere else. also, i originally booked and paid for the room for 5 nights...my […] airline plans changed and i was only able to stay at the hotel for 2 nights. i was unable to change plans with hotel and ended staying 2 nights while having paid for 5 nights...absolutely no refund even after i gave a 2 week notice to the hotel. much $ thrown away.

The facility was ok overall. I received a paper at check-in that had breakfast with a “yes” and “no”. Yes was checked, but upon check-out we had been charged. I tried to dispute but didn’t have much time because I had to get to the airport. It was a bit disappointing. The hotel’s shuttle service is terrible. They have drivers who don’t speak much […] English, drop people off as far from the airport doors as possible and have bad body odor. I wish they had a different service available. I had to book a 4-person room for this stay. It was ok, but very crowded. I expected a little cramped, but I would recommend looking elsewhere for a 4-person room. The service was good, but the hotel doesn’t have basics like most. I had friends stay at a nearby hotel (walking distance) and there were several freebies included, such as bottled water, umbrellas for check-out and internet service. This property sold umbrellas, charged for internet service and didn’t even always have bottled water available. Overall it wasn’t the end of the world, but I don’t think I will return for another stay. Mehr

This is an excellent hotel, nice breakfast, clean and friendly. This section of Amsterdam is less crowded, close enough to the center, and has parks and cafes. I highly recommend this hotel.

Do not stay here do yourself a favour and stay at the eden hotel near the square. This one is no good at all more like a hostel and the rooms are tiny!

I stayed here four days while attending a conference in the middle of the old city. I walked the 25 minutes each way, but there's a tram-line in front of the hotel so you can get in and out quickly. The hotel is also across from the zoo, very near the botanical garden, and close to the Hermitage Amsterdam. The hotel staff was helpful and competent […] (giving me a quieter room on checkin, and helping sending me an item I had forgotten at the hotel). Book the breakfast in advance if you want it, for 10 Euro it's OK but 15 is, IMHO, pricey. The restaurant is a basement room without natural light so you might want to consider that when planning. The wifi internet worked fine. The rooms are a bit small but this is generally true in Amsterdam, so it's not a shortcoming of the hotel. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and with the service provided by the hotel, and recommend the hotel to other travelers . Mehr

This is a very nice hotel in a very nice neighborhood, only about a 10 minute tram ride to the heart of the city. The tram station was one block outside the frotn door. Pleasant, friendly staff. However, the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. The other issue that we had was that when we booked, it said we would have free "high speed" internet in the […] rooom, and even when we arrived, the hotel's own brochure in the lobby said the same thing....but when we got to the room, we were made to pay for it in 24-hour blocks, and then it was so slow as to be completely useless. Mehr

We were overall satisfied with our stay at this hotel. There was also a 50 euro deposit that we were unaware of for movies, internet, etc. We didn’t use any of the extras, so we got it back. Pros: Our room was for two twin beds and so I was expecting two twin beds separated by a night stand or table of sorts. My husband and I booked it spur of the moment […] so we took what we could get. When we got to our room, it was two twin beds put together to make a big bed, also known as a double. So it was a nice surprise! The hotel is also located near a tram stop so we were able to get around the city very easily. They also have a-get-your-coffee-and-go place near by and a real sit down cafe by the tram stop. Frommers also recommends it for families with kids. Cons: We stayed in room 207 which is located at the top of the stairs and is a busy area. The walls were not exactly sound proof so we heard noisy people as they were leaving in the morning. Mehr

We had a quiet room overlooking the park. We stayed for three nights and had no problems during our stay. We didn't have the breakfast but had a nice breakfast in "Coffee to Walk" cafe just next door.

The hotel was in a pretty good location, about a 10 minute walk to the edge of the main areas and a tram stop right outside. The lobby is nice and has free internet, the staff were friendly. The room was comfortable and well decorated, but the walls were a bit thin and the restocking of coffee/tea wasn't so good. Good hotel if you get a discounted  […] rate. Mehr

The service was really excellent. My partner even got a chipped tooth and the guy at the front desk helped her find numbers for a dentist even though none of them were accepting emergency patients. The hotel was nice although the carpet was stained and could do with replacing. Everything else was very tidy. The area around the hotel is a bit slow, […] and although it's nice and quiet, there are only a few places to eat and they are all very expensive although that is Amsterdam for you. I think next time I would prefer to stay in the Museum District because there's more going on but it's still on the quieter side. However, I thought this was really good value and placement considering I made reservations at the very last minute. Mehr

we bagged a bargain with the price and went with friends who paid more. the room was clean, but tiny and extremely hot. Our friends get a much better room. We didn't spend too much time in our room other than sleeping.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Eden Lancaster for three nights in early August of 09 and loved it, especially for the money. It's about a 10-15 minute train ride from Centraal station, so it's out of the hustle and bustle (and noise) of the center while still conveniently located. The hotel staff was very friendly- accommodating our requests for […] maps, directions, restaurant tips, etc. It was clean and quiet the entire time we were there. It's right across the street from the zoo (luckily, no zoo smell) and occasionally we heard wild birds in the morning, which was actually sort of pleasant. The room was a little on the small side and wifi is provided only spottily in the lobby, but that's pretty normal for European hotels. I would definitely stay here again. Mehr

Although not a particularly cheap hotel it came across as such. The guy on reception was a bit of a surly individual who gave the impression that guests were an inconvenience to his day! The room was small but wellfurnished, the ensuite was the tiniest ever it was not clean and smelt bad (urine). It was ok for two nights,but I'd not bood it again.

My first impression wasn't very good. There was no one behind the counter when we tried to check in. About 5 mins later, a guy with a strange uniform (we thought he was a cleaner) came in with a cup of tea. He was the receptionist. Overall all three receptionists were quite unhelpful. But it's bearable. The room is lovely, clean with enough space. […] The location is good enough to get to central if you don't mind paying for Tram tickets. Only about 3 stops you can reach many coffee shops, 5 stops+ you will be on Dam Square. Mehr

Location is nice, safe and close to the city center, there is a very good cafeteria next to the hotel (coffee to walk). Really good coffee, sandwiches and sweets (the owner is very nice!). The room is small and not that confortable. The bathroom is too small, but it was clean. It is a little overpriced. If the cost was 60% of the real one it would be […] fair. But it was a good experience. Mehr

The room was small (and the bathroom even smaller) but this is common in European hotels. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the people working at reception were awesome. It's in a nice area, away from the craziness of the center, but still close enough to walk pretty much anywhere in 10-20 minutes. I definitely recommend staying here.

moquette très sale pour résa chambre standart et odeur de cigarette, l'emplacement est top car près du centre (10 min à pied max) et au calme

Vi havde et fint weekend ophold på hotel Hampshire Det ligger rigtig fint og gå afstand til det meste. Og ellers stoppede sporvognen lige foran hotellet. Og de kørte hele tiden. Hotellet fremstår slidt. Især gulvtæppet på vores værelse var medtaget. Men ellers et fint og godt hotel til en weekend i Amsterdam. Værelserne er små. Men der er alt hvad man […] behøver. Morgenmad var ok. Ikke imponerende, men der var lidt af det hele. Lidt "skummelt" var det dog at restauranten ligger i kælderen uden vinduer. Men sød og hjælpsom personale opvejede dette. Mehr

Confortável, limpo, ótimo estado de conservação. Equipe de atendimento atenciosa, gentil, eficiente. Preço justo pelo o que oferece. Fcaria nele novamente e recomendo para meus amigos.

I have been visiting Amsterdam every year in nearly 15 years. I have been ripped for money at filthy hotels, but Eden Lancaster it´s allright. Not fantastic, but allright. Quite clean room, allright standard for the money.. Not fantastic, but here you can sleep

+room was clean and nice +good location, right next to a tram station -breakfast was very expensive (luckily there were many cheap and good breakfast and lunch restaurants near by the hotel) -walls were thin and we could hear noise from the corridor

het hotel is te duur voor wat het aanbied voor die prijs zou het ontbijt moeten inbegrepen zijn ; volgende keer doe ik een andere keuze van hotel
