Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Old Nickel Hotel is often praised for its superb location, right in the heart of the city near Central Station and within easy reach of many attractions and restaurants. Guests appreciate the clean and modern rooms, which are considered adequately spacious for two people. While some guests in the annex building have noted noise from nearby karaoke bars that can last until late at night, many find the hotel to be an excellent value for money in Amsterdam, especially given its central location and the convenience of luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out.

The location was fantastic, so close to the station. What a treat! restaurants of all kinds were nearby. the room was fresh. the toilet and shower were really clean. i will stay again!
street noise was quite noticeable. thin windows meant i could hear everything outside, even with earplugs. it was a little bit annoying.
