Clean, comfortable and location, location, location!! Near all the gay hot spots and (for Amsterdam!) it's still pretty inexpensive. The breakfast is nothing to write home about but it's a great way to meet other people staying at the hotel! We love the Golden Bear!

Really clean and comfortable hotel with friendly staff and good breakfast. Yes the stairs are steep, but this is common with all original Amsterdam Town Houses. Excellent location!!!! Close to a range of restaurants to suit all tastes, along with been close to bars and clubs. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

The breakfast was disgusting and not fulfill. The treatment of the staff was terrible and even one day they stool our bag and they return it just after 2 days without any explanation. Small and stinky room. Everything was BAD BAD BAD. I will never return to this hotel/horehouse.

The Golden Bear is in a very good. convenient location, situated moments away from a good shopping street and 3 tram lines and within walking distance of many sights, although it is discretely sited up a quiet side road. We stay here whenever we visit Amsterdam as we know we will get a clean and comfortable stay. The staff are... More

This hotel i very well located, close to transport, 7 minutes from Dam square with the tram and in an area with nice restaurants and shops. Rooms were clean, warm and enough big. Nice breakfast with a very happy and funny receptionist.
