I booked the Old Nickel hotel purely from the vantage of location and price. The location couldn't be more perfect - a stone's throw from Amsterdam's central station (600 metres or 5-10 mins) and within walking distance of all of Amsterdam's major sightseeing attractions. I walked everywhere in Amsterdam and enjoyed strolling through the canals and waterways. There are several large supermarkets nearby and restaurants, cafes and bars numbering in the hundreds. No lack of food choices, this is for certain! I booked the single/economy room for one night. The room was very very small, but certainly manageable for one night. The room had a twin bed, a stool, under bed luggage storage (which was appreciated given the severe lack of room), and above bed shelving. There was a television in my room, but I couldn't get it to work. Lighting was good in the hotel, many electricity sockets including one above the bed, and the wifi signal was very strong throughout the hotel, even up on the third floor where my room was located. I left on an early train, so I didn't take breakfast at the hotel. I am not sure that breakfast is offered at this hotel though!? The bathroom was also a bit cramped, but I expected this. The toilet sat awkwardly underneath the sink, so I bumped into it often. The shower was enclosed with glass doors, the temperature of water was wonderful but the shower pressure left something to be desired. The bathroom amenities included hand soap as well as an in shower dispenser with a shampoo/body wash combination. A floor mat, a hand towel and a bath towel were also provided. Here's the double edged sword. The room overlooked a very busy street, which, in Amsterdam, didn't make for a restful sleep. I was awoken through the night by late night partiers in the streets as well as guests arriving to the Old Nickel hotel very late. Because it's an old building, you can hear pretty much everything going on around you, including inconsiderate guests. There is no lift in the hotel, and the stairs are incredibly narrow and very steep. This is quite common I'm finding in Europe - very steep, old staircases. Be very careful as you ascend and descend with luggage. The hotel sits above a bar, which must be owned by the same owners. I didn't eat there, so I cannot comment on the food or drinks. The woman tending to the bar and also the hotel was very pleasant and kind! I had a good stay here, and I appreciated that I was able to find budget accommodation in the heart of Amsterdam. I don't feel that the deficiencies above are necessarily the fault of the hotel, rather inconsiderate guests and party goers, so, I'd recommend this hotel to my fellow budget weary travellers. Overall, a good and budget friendly hotel in central Amsterdam!
