Cool walls inside but wallpaper held together with sello-tape. Shower was good but low hanging ceilings behind a curtain. I hurt myself 3 times quite badly. TV Did not work in my room and lights by bed were also broken. Window top right hinge was bust so Had to figure out how to block out the sound of the street using a towel. Bed comfy but two singles pushed together so fell between on several occasions. Location was good next to Vondel Park.

Not bad, relatively cheap for Amsterdam.

Good clean hotel, one room had a completely new shower and bathroom. And the other room was needing renovation, shelf missing on wall, worn floor. Both rooms had awkward steps inside the room. For any disabled customers there is an elevator but also several steps at the entrance and seemingly no ramp. Other hotels have same problem in Amsterdam. So ask before you book. There is an extra charge of 5% for paying bill with Visa or Visa Debit.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic. Hotel is in desperate need of updates - we stayed in a double bed room with pealing wallpaper, furniture falling apart. No handsoap in the bathroom, surfaces weren't clean, exposed sub flooring. Cigarette smoke was in all hallways, even though the facilities are nonsmoking. Overheard the manager talking about upgrades that are coming so that's positive.

Good location near Vondel Park and museums.

The two reasons why I like about Blyss Hotel are near museumplein, where Van Gogh museum, Banksy Moco museum and Rijksmuseum are located. Second reason is the Vondel Park. I didn't like that the photos look better than the actual room. If the room upleeping is better, I'd strongly recommend. I didn't like that he toilet has no feature to place Toiletries. There is no kettle for hot water, you need to get it at the lobby. The breakfast cost 10 Euro, not that great a spread, but decent enough to start a day.

Great position, super comfy bed, welcoming staff

Great position only 5 mins from great city atmosphere but without any noise. Room decor a bit tired but more that adequate as spent most of our stay out & about. Super comfy bed & friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend as long as your not looking to stay in the Ritz. Will definitely stay here next time.

Really not a 3 star

No disabled access at front. Inside, the elevator only takes you halfway up stairs. Room was dirty, hairs on bed clothes, clearly from cleaning staff, dirty walls, broken furniture, no air con in room, incredibly hot at all times. Smell of dope permeating everything even though non-smoking hotel. Nice staff but they have little to work with. There are two stars nearby which are better.

central hotel-quite area

I took a single room for one night in August 2016. Booking through Expedia I chose a smoking room but when arrived at the hotel I discovered that they do not have smoking room at all. If I would have known I could have booked another hotel. The room was quite small and the overall conditions were not great. Staying on the ground floor was not the best because of lack of light and since I was facing the rear garden it was a little bit noisy in the late afternoon.

Not as advertised

We were very disappointed by this hotel. We were greeted by Nick who spoke perfect English but we found him to be inappropriate in his comments regarding race, politics and cultural stereotypes.

No Bliss at Blyss

Hotel was unbearably hot with no air conditioning. Probably OK during Winter season. All walls need painting as they're covered in marks/stains (seriously grim). No ventilation in en suite - mould and damp on ceiling. Hotel staff (possibly manager) was a reprehensible prat. He asked "why I came to Amsterdam with my spouse instead of my mates". He then went off on a tangent in graphic/seedy detail as to why I shouldn't have brought my spouse. This really upset my girlfriend at the time. I could not believe what I was hearing. Just imagine the most disrespectful person possible and you'll know what I mean. Only stay at this hotel if you can deal with the above.

Need better air conditioning as room is roasting. The fan we had actually made one hell of a difference. Like I can't stress it enough it made so much of a difference and I wish we asked for another

Worst hotel I have stayed in

Rooms are real small and narrow. The room is nothing at all like the room pictured in the hotel description. There is no staff available from 11PM to 7AM. This was not disclosed by Expedia. I booked for two nights and transferred to another hotel for the second night. I left a jacket in my room and called them up so I can pick it up and immediately the staff on the line told me to send them an email. I told him I was leaving Amsterdam soon and would appreciate it if he could check, he would not budge. Be very careful when you book with Expedia on non-refundable bookings.

Friendly hotel in good location Friendly hotel

The hotel is conveniently located near to where the airport bus drops you off in the city centre. The staff are very friendly, however the hotel itself is a little tired and need some updating. The room is large enough but I was surprised that there were no tea or coffee making facilities. The bathroom was very small with only a shower and after bath and the basin had been broken and glued back together.
