Amsterdam Wiechmann Hotel

This hotel gave us an authentic Amsterdam experience. Yes there are glitzier hotels but this is what we were looking for. The staff was great and special kudos to Wendy who was wonderful- cheery, helpful with restaurant recommendations and logistics. Breakfast was OK, not outstanding but again authentic. The neighborhood was fantastic- convenient to many sites and restaurants. Quiet at night and safe. Please keep in mind that there are no elevators and stairs are somewhat steep- but the exercise will help burn off all those calories.

My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Wiechmann for 3 nights in February, I booked it as the location, area and style of the property were exactly what I had in mind for our trip. We paid a little extra to have a double room overlooking the canal and it did not disappoint, we had massive windows and doors allowing a clear view of the canal and bridge. It was great to sit there watching the world go by. There is a lot said about the stairs and yes, they are steep, but they add to the charm of the place. Breakfast was a typical continental style affair with fresh bread rolls, ham, cheese, hard boiled eggs, toast, croissant’s, fruit juice & coffee…well that’s what I had anyway! There is a hot drinks machine available free of charge near reception, there is no kettle in the rooms. We arrived by train and then tube to Rokin station and walked for 13 minutes to the hotel, however when leaving to return home we had the hotel call a taxi and that dropped us at the airport for 45 euro’s. We walked to all the attractions from our hotel base, Anne Frank, Heineken Tour, Canal boat trip, WWII resistance museum and the House boat museum (just 50m away). We ate at Billy Thai’s restaurant a couple of times as it is only a 5 minute walk away and the food there is great. Highly recommend this hotel if you want to stay somewhere with character and history.

Interesting hotel, not 5 stars by any means but comfortable and we had good service and a good breakfast selection. Room was spacious , clean but dont expect lavish furnishings. chairs were quite old and probably could be replaced. The stairs were challenging but we managed, do not book if you have knee or mobility issues. On the plus side we found it to be in a very good location on the canals.

The Weichmann is a good hotel and mostly advertises what you get. We booked a Canal View and yes we did get it, just. If you stood on your toes and peaked out the window you would get a glance. No false advertising, but just not what you expect when you see the photos. Then again, you are in Amsterdam to be out an about, not looking through a hotel room window. The room was on the top floor and a tough climb with suitcases (as stated on the website), so if you have strength or mobility issues, definitely book a ground or lower floor room. The room itself was okay, but noisy at night from the “partying” people below, so no sleeping with the windows open. No AC, but the fan in the room helps. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the Continental breakfast was pretty good. Location was good and a walk to anywhere of interest is quite easy. We were there mid-June 2023 and booked direct and paid 170 Euro per night including taxes (excluding local tax), breakfast and wifi.

We picked this hotel primarily for its location/ proximity to the canals but also because it is comprises of a number of buildings joined together, which are of great character. The room we selected was on the top floor, as it has canal views and was the most spacious. We were warned about the steepness of the staircase (no elevator in this hotel) and this has been mentioned in other reviews but it is seriously steep and getting the luggage up to the room can be quite a feat. That said, our stay was very pleasant and as mentioned, the front door literally went directly out to a canal and bridge over. The breakfast was typically continental but fresh and adequate to start the day.

Yes the stairs are an 'issue' but we were well warned. Location, location is excellent, the rooms themselves are very good, the staff very friendly & helpful & the breakfast also is very good. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this hotel, friendly staff, breakfast was lovely, great location for everything, spotlessly clean and our family room was enormous!! The only downside was the noise at night time both inside and outside of the hotel and this did effect our sleep. However, our room was at the front of the hotel, right on the busy corner AND above the reception and main front door so it might be quieter in another room.

I stayed 6 times there. I have never been disappointed with the rooms I was given, nor the friendly staff, nor the generous (and included !!) breakfast. Given its astounding location, I do think that this hotel has the best value of money. No elevator (usual in Amsterdam) but a lot of beautiful vintage furniture and the feeling you stay in a family home !

Location is good, way overpriced for the level of quality. Going on day 4 and our room still has never been cleaned. When I told a staff member about this I was told the hotel is crowded and there wasn't time to get to it, but they will "try to get to it" tomorrow. Have a family member with dietary issues and was told at booking that we could store something in the hotel fridge. When we got here, we were subjected to a 5 minute tirade about how even the staff isn't allowed to do this. (Well, the staff isn't paying $300 a night.) Would not recommend.
