Dikker & Thijs Fenice Hotel - Amsterdam, The Netherlands Reviews

We paid extra for a room with a canal view, but they gave us a dungeonous room on the first floor. They were able to move us for the second night of our stay. If you're staying here, I'd recommend paying for a canal view room and double checking with them before you arrive.

Fairly affordable hotel. This was a week of several festivals so all prices are up.
Good size room on the 5th floor with great views.
Dated bathrooms but clean and nice.

Super located hotel.
The beds are a bit getting used to.

The only con in our staying was the breakfast for additional charge, everything else was perfect

Only thing I didn t like was that you have to give them your key when you go out. I just didn t give it to them. Views were amazing!!! Great amenities in the bathroom.

Hotel was very nicely located overlooking the canal. Room was surprisingly spacious (spacious being a relative term since we just got off a ship). Staff was very professional, provided great suggestions for restaurants and gave great directions for the sites we wanted. They loaned us an adapter for the electric service as well as a converter. Overall, very pleased with the hotel, with the highlight being the third floor canal view.

Wonderful hotel and staff. Centrally located and right next to a tram stop.
It can be a bit noisy at night but sleeping with windows closed takes care of that.

Great hotel, within a minutes walk of Leidseplein and plenty of restaurants. Helpful staff, comfortable room with a good view of the canals.

Great clean city hotel with a view over the rooftops of Amsterdam. The breakfast is good, the rooms big and clean and the price reasonable.

Friendly staff, knowledgeable, helpful. Good bed, great breakfast !!

Great location, wonderful staff. We got 2 rooms. First was on the 2nd floor. A little old but had canal views, low beams and very cosy. Second room was on the 3rd floor corner. Amazing views of the canal. Bright and modern room. I'll be staying here again next time!

Great place... Highly recommend. Was in the heart of everything. Our room overlooked the intersection... Was a bit noisy because of where it was but it was a great experience. Shower was great with awesome water pressure. Bed was comfortable. Everything was very clean.

Great old but comfy hotel in central old Amsterdam.

Perfect place for a date ! Even at their prime time, the place is not noisy so you can hear your friend. They have limited main course options but all of them are highly selected.

Relatively expensive for too little luxury. Bad shower. Moderate bed. No fresh gravy and good coffee at breakfast.

Interesting hotel with rooms with character and charming features like exposed beams large windows and canal views. Only issue is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow and steep so if that is a problem call ahead and get a lower floor.

Hotel very well located. Spacious room. Bathroom also. They have a cell phone with internet access and free calls to anywhere in the world. Highly recommend!

Outdated and very overpriced. Unfortunately Amsterdam Hotels don t need to keep a high standard since the demand is enormous... too many tourists and not enough beds.
For the price I paid it should have been much better! Disappointing.

Very nice hotel, staff is very helpful. We liked the location very much.

Awesome hotel! We upgraded to the top-floor canal-view room in the old part of the hotel. Unfortunately can only get the lift part way to the rooms and have to carry bags the rest of the way - which involves fairly steep steps. But if you're in a standard room, it's no problem. Staff are very friendly. Bit strange you have to hand your key in to reception every time you leave the hotel, but at least there's no risk of losing it.

Nice ambience. Staff very friendly and the food was great. We had a nice evening.

Lovely tasty food, recommended, had the ravioli very flavoursome! Nice atmosphere clean and pleasant ambience, definitely come back...

Great restaurant with great food. They realy go the extra mile to give you the quality experience.

Personalized service great food and inviting atmosphere. Definitely coming back!

Very good location, sadly a room without a view and somewhat dated rooms.
Overall cleanliness very good.

very nice place, if you wt to eat healthy and very cheap.

Very central. Seemed clean. Bed comfortable. All amenities good. Even had a touch screen ipad device although this didn't work. Staff were all very friendly, and they let me sit and work in lobby to kill time. Only downside, which is true of all hotels in old Amsterdam buildings, is you can hear doors banging and footsteps and sometimes voices at all times of night.

Nice hotel, wonderful location right in the canals. Awesome bargain!

Beautiful hotel in a very popular area of Amsterdam. The location is ideal for exploring the city. The rooms are reasonably priced, clean, beautifully decorated. The breakfast is over-priced, but tasty and convenient. The staff is so very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel in the middle of the city. The train station is only 15 minutes through the city.

Very good. The coffee is unfortunately very expensive. With varua options in the neighborhood near the hotel. Accommodations, internet, bed, location good.

Location is good, bathroom has a little old feeling of use, but water pressure of shower is strong
There is also a bathtub. Speaking of which slippers are provided, and a free mobile phone was also convenient.

Nice hotel, centrally located. Clean is relative. The teaspoons are unfortunately very dirty and in some places a lot of dust. Otherwise it is definitely recommendable.

Good location, not large like a typical north American standards, but more Then good enough to have a memorable stay. Overall good, they had a free tour of Amsterdam option for their stay, I wasn't impressed with the service company they went with as the tour guide harassed us for money for giving us a substandard tour.

Great boutique hotel in a good location with extremely friendly staff. The beds are also very comfortable.

Great hotel. Great room. Very helpful service. Great location, planty of restorants nearby Highly recommanded.

Room was clean and nice, reception staff friendly but professional. Didn't try the food/bar so can't comment on that.

Nice hotel, ideal starting point for all things to do in the city. Very central

Perfect for a weekend. Good location. Friendly staff.

Dining in a special ambiance, beautiful dishes and a selective yet rich selection of wines. Especially the bavette is worth it. The service knows about the hat and the brim.

Large and nice rooms. Any little outdated. Very friendly staff.

Wonderful place for dinner. Amazing French onion soup. Huge recommendation!

Nice little hotel in a pretty good location. Close enough to everything to walk or bike easily, but far enough away your not immediately in the midst of everything. Would definitely stay in same area again. Dikker & This is a nice hotel, staff is nice and recognizes you pretty quickly as guests as you come and go thru the city. Our room was pretty simple and the hotel did not seem crowded. We could hear other rooms at certain times, sound seems to echo a bit. But it didnt bother us any, but I know some light sleepers it would probably bother. Good experience overall and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place. Very clean and convenient. Amazing view.

Came especially to this restaurant, and it was closed when it should be open. Sign says open daily 10 AM to 10 PM. Lies.

Tried both for lunch and dinner. Either way it left us fully satisfied. Quality food cooked and served excellently. Good value for money.

Stayed for the second time at Thicken and Thijs.It was fantastic again
Excellent breakfast.
Worth repeating.

Cute hotel in the heart of Amsterdam. The bed was super comfy!

Superb hotel conveniently located in the center of Amsterdam, overlooking the Prinsengracht from some of the rooms. These are spacious and very well equipped. Rich Dutch buffet breakfast. Direct tram access from Central Station and many restaurants nearby. I recommend this address for a pleasant and carefree stay in Amsterdam.

I stayed here for a couple days, and had a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved the breakfast as well. I highly recommend.

4 Sterne Hotel! Insgesamt sauber, guter Service und angemessener Preis!
Lage hervorragend!

Quaint Hotel close to town centre and plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.

Attentive and quick service, simple dish but very good. Pleasant surroundings.

If you would like to save time reading lots of reviews please let me warn you that this is exactly the kind of boutique hotel to avoid.

I prefer to stick to facts and will do so in short with details as I experienced them. This venue itself and the location are great however the amenities and service from the staff do not fit hotel description. My first astonishment was with the advertised room service. There was none. Each employee at the hotel will tell you something different with regards to room service. This appears to be an issue with leadership and organization. It didn t help that the phone in the room didn t work either. The staff all had different answers for this as well none of which were helpful.

I thought there would be Nespresso in the room as again this was indicated online. It turns out this is a bait-and-switch. My "comfortable" room is an unfortunate one indeed!

It was additionally frustrating to find that bottled water or extra beverages are not available at the hotel after the housekeeping staff has left for the day. Hence I can only describe it as a fake four star hotel, cutting too many corners and a lacking professional management.

After four nights of my stay I was finally able to speak with a manager about the room service and coffee issues. She honestly didn t care to hear anything about it, was very aggressive and even had the nerve to ask me my profession.

An experience I do not wish on anyone .book elsewhere!

Wonderful room on top of the building. Authentic feel. If you got the budget, don't hesitate, that worth it.

Had breakfast here yesterday. It was a gorgeous breakfast in gorgeous surroundings with very effective and friendly staff.

Great place ,great pics by concierge!
5 for 5!
10 out of 10 points!

Good hotel, however, as it is on the edge of the street, it has a lot of noise. Good pq is well located!

Varied menu and very friendly welcome. We had breakfast there and it was great ...
