    More than the property the staff was excellent Mr Khalid, Mr Ahmed and Mr Vownu , please accept my gratitude

    Nice near and clean walking distance from the centre and other tourist attractions

    My stay was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was due to the incredible hosts, Khaled and Ahmed. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel genuinely welcome and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.Both were friendly, professional, and always available to help with anything i needed whether it was recommendations, quick responses to questions, or simply making sure i was comfortable. Their hospitality truly stood out and made the experience feel personal rather than just another hotel stay.The hotel itself was excellent, but it was Khaled and Ahmeds warmth, attention to detail, and kindness that made this stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would gladly return just because of the outstanding service they provided.Thank you, Khaled and Ahmed, for such a wonderful experience!

    Good location, close to train station which is what we needed for the night. Spacious enough for two people.

    9GarethPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Loved the location, very simple and basic but all that you need, for a short stay. Very comfortable, easy to find, exceptionally well located.

    Couldn't control the heating, room was very warm.

    No breakfast

    The curtains were shocking so creased, the hotel stank, the floors were so dirty.

    5ChinitawafaPosted on: 1-6-2026

    The location is very good.

    The bed is not comfortable, and there was no toothbrush or toothpaste provided, which most hotels usually have.

    8DovydasPosted on: 1-1-2026

    It was clean

    Sound of falling poops from higher floors :DDDDD we were sleeping in 804 :D

    3MarylouPosted on: 12-20-2025

    Central and quiet despite location

    Entrance was strong smelling of freshener as v strong smell in corridors carpets dirty v strong smell of weed, no protective cover on mattress , area in room clean but in great need of refurbishment

    10PaulPosted on: 12-15-2025

    The close proximity to the centre, the scenery around the area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, very personable, and helped in any aspect we needed. Very happy here and will return.

    Can’t say there was anything I didn’t like !

    10MaximilianPosted on: 12-13-2025

    I stayed twice in France Hotel on my trip to and from London and most impressed I was by the friendly and helpful staff, especially Mr Khalid, making me feeling very welcome at that hotel. The place is also not far from Amsterdam Centraal Station, which is also a big plus when you travel by train. In the near are cafes and restaurants, very convenient. I truly can recommend France Hotel Amsterdam. Maximilian Schmid, Munich
