Nova Hotel

“ We chose this hotel as we fancied a change from the Westcord Hotel (5 mins away), what a mistake! The Nova Hotel is rated as a 3 star which it clearly is not. On arrival we given Room 101. The room was up a very narrow staircase which was very difficult to climb especially with a case. The room smelt very dense, the windows could not open and there was urine in the toilet. We were only in this room for 5 minutes and we could hear loud footsteps where people were walking on a landing directly above our room. We had a word with reception and they changed our room to a garden room. This room was also sub-standard. The carpet was dirty, edges of the carpet were folding up to reveal holes between the floor and the skirtings, the pillows smelt of sweat, basically, it was very dinghy and depressing. The room was filled with old worn out furniture. A flat screen TV was advertised which didn't exist nor were there any English channels on the TV. In my opinion, I would class this hotel as the equivalent to a hostel and feel that this hotel needs to be either downgraded or totally refurbished.

“ Being just round the corner from Dam Square it could not be more central for all attractions. All the staff were most helpful, especially the two gents on reception who went out of their way to be of assistance.
Buffet breakfast was basic but quite adequate. Slept like a log on our 4 night visit.

“ Top Tip: Restaurant round the corner Humphries is a must.

“ The hotel is ideally placed for seeing all that Amsterdam has to offer, fairly central but in a quiet area. The room was comfortable and had a lovely modern en-suite. The breakfast is very good with lots of choice. A good value middle range hotel. We would stay there again.

“ Top Tip: Great Irish pub round the corner.

“ Conveniently situated, adequate accommodation, clean, and breakfast was very good.
