Cordial Hotel City Center, Amsterdam

Four of us stayed here 13/11/06-19/11/06 we had a great time in Amsterdam. The hotel is very central and the staff pleasant and breakfast good.The rooms were clean and tidy and refreshed everyday. We were all keen to know when the bar actually opened as all the time we were there we could not get a drink other than the (lager) vending machine, but there were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby so it was not an issue. Overall it was a pleasant stay. It would be nice to have tea making facilities in the rooms though. Andrew Wendy Dean and Carly u.k.

I have just returned for a 3 night stay at the Cordial. In my opinion, the hotel is in need of a makeover. More importantly - there are extensive roadworks taking place directly outside the hotel which start at 6.30am and go on all day until at least 6pm. Beware they are very noisy. I had a single room at the front of the hotel and had no chance of sleep after 6.30am. This is ok if you plan to be out of the hotel all this time, but if like me you come to Amsterdam to experience the nightlife and late bars - you will not be happy here. I understand that the works will go on for sometime, so check with the hotel before you book online. The hotel is well located for all hotspots. Dont expect exuberence - this is basic accommodation.

I was told that Dutch hotel staff were kind of rude people, but the hospitality I recieved here was breath-taking! The rooms here are nice and the location is excellent. The first day of my stay I planned to discover Planet Amsterdam, but I didn't even got to hit streets: the atmosphere in the hotelbar was just too good! I met some nice people here. It seems that even the local people often come here for a drink. Now I'm planning to return here in the summer, because I definitely want to do the "Cordial Terrace Experience"!!
