Amsterdam’s old buildings have charm, steep stairs and small roons. Hotel Old Nickel ticked all the boxes - super central location, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, and friendly staff. Thank you !

Great location in the centre of everything. Compact room with an unusual layout but it actually worked well for two people sharing. Comfortable and clean. You may want ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as its in a busy area and people come and go frequently.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to the central station and in the old centre of Amsterdam. The room was small but clean and I slept very well. Great little hotel.

Good location near Central station. The location has a drawback - late night noise. Rooms were a bit hot with no controllable a/c, but we were given a fan that kept things comfortable enough.

I’d read reviews that rooms are small….. yes they’re small- it’s Amsterdam! Literally the room is the size of a full bed (my room had a single bed and some space beside it) but it also had a bathroom which was great! Honestly I loved it. Clean, cozy, excellent location! No complaints whatsoever.
