Shire Hotel

Staff very friendly Perfect hotel for a citybreak Next to both a tram stop and the canal boat stop

A rather noisy location but to be expected in such a bustling city

We did not want a city centre hotel as they are small and no private parking this hotel is on the outer fringe of the city centre very well placed for walking and transport AND you can park in front of the hotel at a fairly normal charge for city parking Staff are v helpful with advice in house cycle hire attraction tickets tram tickets routes etc CARE there are cyclists everywhere and they have priority there are also pot smokers everywhere and some cyclist smoke pot while they are cycling and answering their phone at the same time so YOU have to keep your eyes open Breakfast is excellent standard E15 or plus E5 00 which includes cooked to order eggs Benedict etc with good service We had a Junior Suite with small balcony on the back overlooking a v small quiet park room very quiet even with all the windows open 2 minute walk to tram stops and Oosterpark a nice green park use the trams they are easy with good route message screens cost 7 50 a day and save miles of walking we came back one evening on a tricycle taxi very refreshing on a warm night Decor is Art and corridors a bit vivid and rooms quirky but not unpleasantly so Nice hotel for our 3 nights

Small problem with restaurant first evening they were busy and said we could not have table service outside service was good but warm Second evening we sat inside again and everybody else sat outside we realised too late and our service was terribly slow Food is good and reasonable price Second day we came back after having been out for 8 hot hours and room had not been cleaned Sat down for 5 minutes then a knock at the door and it was suggested we left the room while they cleaned it as they had had 8 hours we said no get on with it and work round us they did We mentioned both these things at checkout and they made a couple of decent deductions and very apologetic We did not find a lounge bar snack service area maybe we missed it

location was good lively area not the nicest part of town but it s in the middle of lots of nightlife

very noisy room was grubby despite being upgraded way overpriced for what it was bed wasn t at all comfortable room was freezing cold the Schiller is nicer cheaper and better located on the square

The bed was really comfy and you get to choose from 4 different pillows Staff really helpful

Everything was lovely

We have stayed here before so used to property the square is vibrant good bars and restaurants everything you need as a base camp to start and finish the day

When we arrived we was waiting to check in having a little laugh and was told we was to noisy thankfully we did not see the miserable receptionist for rest of our stay

All staff were so helpful friendly and attentive Gave us lots of recommendations of where to go outside of th main tourist hotspots Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in Great buffet breakfast highly recommend Comes with a glass of bubbly too

the staff are very accomodating the room is clean nice ambience of the room comfortable bed good location

nothing

Great location nice room very private and clean

Two singles pushed together instead of a double A bit more hair in the bath than is ideal

Staff very friendly helpful Location great

We had a pull out bed for our daughter to use which may have not been used for a while Could have done with a clean as the dust was thick around the bed

The location is the best The hotel is starting to get a little bit worn out but the price reflects it and for Amsterdam that s very highpriced for me it s still the best choice

Breakfast is very good but for the price of the room should be included
