Using a tram from Amsterdam Centraal (Eu 2.70), and following the directions given on Hostelworld, I found the place easy to get to. We were very disappointed to be shown to a double room (on the 2nd floor) when I had specifically booked a twin room some 5 months before.No river view despite the name, but not complaining as the...

Not too easy to get to as the public transition is a little bit confusing over there. Super nice host. Our room has a nice view of the backyard. And you can cook by yourself there. However, the shared bathroom is dirty. The couple who were staying on the other side of the hallway talked soooo loud and had fight... More

- Nice river view - Tiny room with no place for luggage - wifi - lumpy twin mattresses pushed together to make a king - many steep steps which is characteristic of Amsterdam but is still unnerving - nice decor in rooms If you are looking for a hostel, then this is the place for you.

I returned back to this place after more than a year. It is well taken care of. Still a great place to stay with a stunning view of the Amstel river and great value for money! Clean, nicely decorated rooms and they replaced the tv's by nice new flatscreen tv's. What I mostly like here is the free coffee (senseo)... More

This place was wonderful. it's overlooking the Amstel Canal, and in the Southern Canal Belt. It was extremely clean - the bathrooms were prestine, and the tub was huge. the kitchenette has free tea and coffee, working everything and again, very clean. the beds were comfortable, and looked exactly like the pictures on the website. Very quiet, and great for... More

Despite being initially daunted by the need to climb a VERY steep staircase to get to the accommodation, we were impressed by this hotel. Our twin room was clean and bright and had a lovely balcony that caught the evening sun, overlooking the canal - impressive given the price of the room (about £30 pppn, cheap by Amsterdam standards). The... More

The Amstel Riverview was a lovely place to stay, nice rooms with a safe, TV (1 English channel CNN), free WiFi and in our case a great view of the Amstel River. All the rooms are twin but the owner is happy to make the base into a double by pushing the two together and adding an extra double mattress.... More

Hotel was very clean and located on one of the main canals - we had a magnificent view from our room! There is a shared kitchen which made it easier to save money on eating out; the shared bathroom had plenty of clean towels and was cleaned on a daily basis. Benjamin (the manager) was brilliant! He was available to... More
