Hotel Piet Hein

No wifi! This hotel adversities having free wifi, but they didn’t have it at all, not even for a charge. Instead they offered use of their computers as if we were in the year 2000. The staff we rude and each person at the desk had a different excuse for the lack of Internet. On top of this someone at the desk had control of the rooms climate and had switched it up to 30 Celsius! And we were not able to control the air conditioning in the room.
The walls of the room were heavily damaged and not acceptable at all. The size of the room so what I expected, it is not my first stay in Europe. However, our room was in the basement! I can’t imagine myself spending the money I did for a room in a basement. The hotel manager didn’t seem to care and asked what we needed from his time. If they can control the room climate from the front desk, it would make sense they can control the wifi too. I think that maybe they were discriminating Americans or people who booked low prices. They were no other Americans in the hotel. I was traveling with my parents and my mother who is from Amsterdam. When she spoke up that she was Dutch and spoke in Dutch to them, their attitude was dropped however they didn’t address any of the issues. It is a Shawn that the hotel bundling is quite beautiful and the location is really fantastic.

Hotel Piet Hein was on our short list of places to stay in Amsterdam. The price was right, and the location (near Museumplein and Vondelpark) couldn’t be beat. We booked a economy double, but they ran out and gave us a free upgrade to a standard double instead. So yay!
In terms of the space, we were two floors down, except it was still ground level with the back patio. We had a huge window, but never saw anybody in the tables in the back, which was weird.
In terms of the room, the size was fine. Beds were reasonably comfortable, and housekeeping was swift and thorough.
The only thing that wasn’t great was the bathroom. The paint was peeling off part of the wall, and the soap dispensers were pretty bad. They didn’t provide any additional toiletries, and the soap in the shower was the same as the handsoap by the sink (warning: it will dry out your skin really badly).
Looking through the main directory, they offer a ton of extras and services, most without an additional cost. So that was good to know.
The front desk staff was super helpful and friendly.

Omg!!! I don’t think there’s a nicer place to stay in Amsterdam. The location is perfect. They are located right by some of the bigger museums. It’s not a party location. More of a grownup vibe. Lots of high end shops around. Around the corner is an amazing seafood Resturaunt funny enough called SeaFood bar. Across the street a lovely park. Grocery store and bakery close by. The rooms are small and bare. But very cozy and safe. Once you figure out how to be organized in your room … Go downstairs to the lobby bar. A great way to start and end your day. The entire staff is like family you haven’t seen in a while. Many laughs to be had. I was a solo traveler this time and can’t recommend this hotel enough!!! Thank you everyone at hotel Piet

Friendliest hotel this side of Amsterdam!

I stayed at the Hotel Piet Hein for five weeks this summer. I was so happy
and at home. Everyone working there was so kind and helpful. The area
is amazing. I cannot wait to go back and stay with them again.
Thank you so much for helping me make such great memories.
