“better than i expected”
- great location, two minutes from central station and right in the red light district. Very clean toilets and bed sheets. Friendly recepcionist and good bar. all better than i expected. Noisy? Yes, a bit. But it is the red light district. Anywhere will be noisy.

“Cheap & Centrally located”
- Good Location Excellent value Open 24 hours a day
- - Its on a busy street, so don't expect peace and quiet before 4:00 in the morning - my room was on the 4th floor up steep steps with no lift - the breakfast that is included is very poor, but the option exists to pay €5 extra to upgrade it.

“Perfect location for having too much fun in Amsterdam”
- Brilliant hotel - was about as cheap as a hostel. Very friendly and relaxed bar staff, curfew of 4am but then the bar stays open and you can get to know the locals! Live music was excellent. Breakfast included. Rooms clean and the location was perfect - 5 mins from central station, 5 mins to RLD, 5 mins to lots of cafes.
- A bit pricey, but actually still one of the cheapest we managed to find in Amsterdam. Maybe not for families, but brilliant for a group of friends.

diana- Location is perfect. Right in the city center with a walking distance of 5 mins from the Central Station.
- Rooms are not comfortable, so small. It's nearly impossible to sleep at night because of the street noise, slamming doors and squeaky stairs.

“Nice bar and nice service ”
- The bar was amazingly decorated and on friday and saturday night there were good live music until late. They had lots of kinds of beer. The people who worked there were very friendly and nice. The room was small but I really didn t need more space.
- An ensuite room would have been nice but sharing facilities wasnt bad, I never had to wait and they were always clean.

“Stay Away From The Old Nickel Hotel Amsterdam - RIP OFF”
- Location was close to central station
- The rooms were filthy and noisy, the linens were soiled, doors slammed all night long. The manager was rude and treated customers with disdain. If you want a place to store luggage and you have no plans to sleep or you are not concerned about staying in a room that is filthy then this is the place for you. I have been traveling to Amsterdam for 15 years, this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. You have been warned....stay away from the Old Nickel Hotel Amsterdam.

“You have to go to Asia to find worse dumps than this....”
- Location is great.
- Stayed in the Schagen building, not main hotel as apparently Old Nickel has only 2 2-person rooms. No notice given of this change. Schagen is a dump. Room felt like a cell. Was obviously a corridor in the past. Paint grim. Bathroom dirty/smelly and shower flooded. Incredibly noisy both outside and inside. Will not be returning

“Ok for a short stay, but there's better options”
- Location, some of the staff were nice.
- Some really small rooms resembling jail, shower was poor, not all stall were polite. Not really worth the price.

“Will definately visit this hotel again! Recommended”
- the persons behind the bar were very friendly :) location is awesome in the centre. altough the rooms have a shared bathroom, these were always clean.
- the stairs are a bit tight/no lift. these can be tricky after a long night in a coffeeshop or while transporting luggages in and out. Will definately visit again.
