Some friends of ours recommended this hotel after their own successful trip earlier this year. Having read the reviews, we were somewhat cautious of making the booking but took our friends' advice and booked. Unfortunately, the reviews below really do reflect the reality of the hotel. To summarise: 1. Location - next to Louis Vitton and opposit Chanel but no... More

first the hotel have no reception, the images are misleading and the pluming system was not working, so i moved to an attic room with no shades, so i used to wake up with the early morning light, and while i was leaving there was no one at the reception to check me out, its a very poor hotel, avoid.

I've just got back from a 3-night trip with my boyfriend in Amsterdam. We booked very last minute and didn't spend too long researching where to stay (possibly an error in hindsight...) Like many people have said this hotel looks great in the website but it has suffered quite a lot of 'wear-and-tear' since those photos were taken! Luckily we... More

Booked through a 'boutique' hotel company -very misleading as not even up to hostel standards. I cannot say enough to explain just how awful this was. Reasons not to stay: Locked and closed on arrival at 9pm -Took a man from a sister hotel two hours to come and let us in. It smells terrible -sewerage. Totally unsafe stairs -steep... More

Our stay: This is a real shocker. A wonderfully designed (small but very efficient) boutique hotel located right at the hart of the best known fashionstreet of amsterdam and holland. When build probably looked great but bad materials, bad construction, bad cleaning and general lack of management really took it's toll. It does smell a little funny as mentioned earlier,... More

The hotel is located on a shopping high street about a 25 minute tram ride from the city centre. While the hotel is attached to a coffee area the entrance passageway to the hotel was cramped, the carpet dirty, we were welcomed to an open fuse box, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air (which continued throughout our...

From the moment we set eyes on it we knew it was a no-hoper. The entrance photograph on their website is of some other building, definitely not the shabby single door entrance existing. The small hallway about 10ft x 2ft had black filthy carpet that had not seen a hoover for months. Unsurprisingly there was no plug socket for a... More

We just returned from a way too short first stay in Amsterdam, and can't wait to get back! We found the Hotel Patou on another website and were quite pleased with the find. We stayed on the 4th floor in one of the attic rooms which had a nice window "seat" from which we could overlook the city and the... More

There is some negative feedback online about this hotel so I wanted to put a very positive review up and to go on record as having had a great stay there. I was there for 3 nights in a room that was everything the website claimed it would be. The receptionist was lovely - I didn't find the entrance hard... More
