Hotel
The Old Nickel is a small family-run hotel. The multilingual staff are committed to ensure that your stay in Amsterdam will be a wonderful and truly memorable experience to stay with you for years to come. They will gladly assist you in booking a tour or renting bicycles. The rooms have a shared bathroom on the same floor. All rooms come with a television, except the rooms in the annex. A radio alarm clock and luggage rack are available on request. The cosy bar with its woodcarvings features 17th century remains of the ship with which the naval hero Michiel de Ruyter once sailed the seven seas. The bar also offers more than 70 different kinds of specialty beers.
The hotel is situated on the spot where the first houses of Amsterdam were built. To protect the houses against water from the river Amstel, a dam was built, and this is how the city got its name. Today, Dam Square is a major attraction in Amsterdam. The Royal Palace, Nieuwe Kerk, Madame Tussauds and the Bijenkorf department store are all located around this square; a place where street artists also regularly perform. Also situated on Dam square is the National Monument commemorating war casualties.
Surroundings
Hotel Old Nickel Amsterdam is centrally located in Amsterdam's famous red light district. Many tourist attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, including the cruise boats on Damrak, the shopping street of Kalverstraat and the stunning Magna Plaza shopping mall where you'll find luxury brands. The market on Waterlooplein and Nemo science museum are also within walking distance. Nemo's building has become a real eye catcher on the river IJ. The Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and the Hermitage are also great museums to visit. The Nieuwe Kerk often has interesting exhibitions and the Oude Kerk and Montelbaanstoren are also attractive buildings in the vicinity. Amsterdam is a wonderful city to explore simply by strolling along the canals; which is easy to do as its centre is very compact.

Location, price and standard of room all great
Steep stairs can prove a challenge after a few beers -)
“My tip: Stay in the bar, with the live music, one of the best nights in town.”

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.

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

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.

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.

cosy & old fashioned hotel bar near hotel victoria.
Friends september 2011
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.

Really close to the train station (and right next to the red light district), the place was quiet and clean.
Our room was on the top floor; carrying heavy suitcases up four steep and narrow staircases was not funny. Having said that, we visited a friend at his hostel where the stairs were worse.

Breakfast and localization. Nice bar at the reception.
The staff is rude. We paid all on the 1st day but one friend of mine checked in 1day later after the three of us (room for 4) and the man asked for the money and insisted with me that we hadn't paid. After we show the receipt he made fun of me for complaining. Next day morning, a woman came and again shouted with us saying that my friend didn't checked in. Besides that, they control you and ask if some of you go out and the others stay at the room.
The bedding was burnned from ashes and not so clean.

Hotel location is very good and the bar was great with good service and live music in the evening.
The girl in the reception was really rude and offensive. Without doubt the worst velcome I have ever experiensed.
