The hotel has a fantastic location. Sure, the stairs are steep, but that's common. What was worse was the staff and our room. The staff wasn't helpful and could hardly understand English. Our room was small, which was fine, but it wasn't very clean or well maintained. The room was on the street, which was very noisy. Also, the refrigerator didn't work. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. For the money you could probably find something better, but the location is tough to beat.
OK. It's a budget hotel so If your looking for the Crown Plaza, this is NOT the place. The stairs are the most difficult thing about The Hotel Di Ann and they are not for the weak. Otherwise, it is a great deal for the money. They provided everything we needed. The rooms are tiny and old, but the beds were comfortable, clean and warm. The bathrooms were decent and clean. The breakfast (Included with the room price) was adequate. They have a nice balcony/patio that looks over the street that is a nice place to chill. They have a nice cafe right below the hotel and many shops which will help in making your stay convenient. Euro for Euro, this was a great deal and it was everything I expected.

This hotel is in a good location. It was easy to get to all the attractions on foot. We enjoyed the balcony to watch the city while slowing down a little. You can hear the church bells ring well from here also. The stairs are steep and the room we had was VERY SMALL, but the price was good. My complaint is that we were charged 25 euro as a deposit on the room key, which is highly unusual. We were told we would get this back when we checked out, however, we forgot and the staff neglected to bring up the issue, so we paid an extra 25 euro. It seemed like a cheap trick in a city where many tourist might be distracted by the time they check out. .

Don't like this hotel. Unfriendly staff, really messy room and halls. We had to ask for a rag to clean the room, because the staff didn't wipe it. They hadn't cleaned it for our arrival either. I wanted to ask for a vacuum cleaner aswell. We asked for the towels ourselves. Full of dust - the bedspread had old stains on it for example. The breakfast wasn't tasty - low budget food. Hard to sleep because of the refrigerator in the room- really noisy. One of the staff was friendly. He came with coffee facilities. The cat was cute also. And the location is good. There's so many other hotels in amsterdam, so next time we will book in another place.

the rooms are very basic but comfortable .small things would greatly improve this hotel like clean curtains ,a mirror in the room(the only one was in the bathroom ) and a lick of paint ,the room was quite small and the noise from the traffic below made it impossible to get a full nights sleep .on the plus side the bathroom area was adequate and the free safe in the rooms are a good idea and the views and location are great .the staff were pleasent enough and the breakfast was basic but acceptable(toast,ceareal,preserves ,yogurts )but please move the cat .not everyones a fan of felines .also please note that the stairs are very steep and would be difficult to climb for some people even just to the reception area

We did a long week-end in Amsterdam and thought this hotel was great. Yes the rooms are small but what do you expect in a typical Amsterdam building, which all tend to be tall and narrow? The beds were comfortable and clean, as was the rest of the room. We had a problem with the key card but the staff came up straight away to help us out. We found the staff in general very polite and helpful and they let us leave our luggage there on the last day. Breakfast was more than adequate. We really enjoyed our stay here and would be more than happy to stay again. It's also in a great location, really close to Dam Square and a lot of the main sights.

the room in this hotel was scruffy and cramped. it is claimed that the hotel was upgraded in about 1999 so i hate to think what the rooms were like then! we had a double room overlooking the gardens (nice view) but there was hardly room to swing a cat (or should that be kitten?). we had a small en-suite, a fridge but no drink making facilities. staff were very friendly and the buffet breakfast adequate. the only saving grace for this hotel is its location directly behind the palace in dam square, only two minutes walk. i would not have minded so much but the room was not that cheap.

This was a great hotel for the price. The stairs were steep, but most of them are in Europe. We had a corner room with large windows with great views of the river and the streets. The downtown area was just a few blocks away. The bathroom had a plain floor that was also the bottom of the shower, but I have seen worse. Everyone was nice and internet was reasonable. They also had a housecat that was entertaining.
