Positive Reviews
positive:
A basic stay good for busy tourists.
Travellers who want a place to crash and shower will be happy with the facilities at Hestia. The rooms have a classic hotel look without much charm, but guests looking for a convenient budget stay won't be disappointed.
positive:
Fine, quiet location near Vondelpark.
The hotel is located on a quiet and safe street that is close to one of Amsterdam's busiest squares. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are both within short walking distance, as is Vondelpark, the largest park in Amsterdam.
positive:
Friendly staff is very personable.
The staff is said to be very personable, and the in-house cat is also a welcoming presence.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms are very small.
Not all, but some rooms are so small bags don't fit inside. Some guests have had to put bags into the shower as there was no space on the floor. However, other rooms are spacious, so be sure to ask before you make your booking.
negative:
Bathrooms are not as clean as all would like.
The bathrooms can also be small and not dazzlingly clean. Old and in need of a renovation, guests are underwhelmed with the bathrooms.
negative:
No hot items at breakfast.
The breakfast has continental offerings, including meats, cheese, and cereals, but no hot items are available.
