This is a good small hotel to spend the night. Centrally located to a lot of restaurants. Near public transportation. But is an old house converted to a hotel and is very noisy because bars stay open until very late at night. And there is no elevator and very small steep steps so hard to take big luggage to the 2nd and 3rd floor… but is no luggage and can go up the stairs with no issues. Good hotel. Great staff.

It was very quaint, however its narrow staircase with no elevator made it daunting when carrying luggage up and down. On check out we did have help upon checkout so it took some stress away.

This was our first time visiting Amsterdam and loved our stay at The Bolster. The hotel is conveniently located by the tram with access to the entire city. There are bars and restaurants right by the hotel as well as walkable options. The accommodations were right what we expected.

Fantastic Spot!!!

Great location in the heart of a busy historic district. Very unique place to stay. Other than the tricky staircase to go up to the rooms, everything was better than expected. Serena the manager is helpful, entertaining, and very accommodating!

Review was a nice walkable distance to everything and the staff were super friendly. The frustrating part was the A/c was actually turned off and having the window open to cool off room brought in the smell of fried food from restaurants nearby and loud music till the early am hours.

Lovely!

Would stay here again, staff very friendly & helpful. Bed was really comfortable and room really clean. Was a bit noisy as we had room on the front and on top of a bar but still didnt stop us from falling asleep. Im a great area to ive stayed in a few hotels around this area before. I would recommend this hotel.

A great place to stay for central location

Stayed in the nightlife experience room which was really pretty and cosy. Perfect location - a 10/15 min walk in any direction to the main sites. A lot bigger than expected and was a pleasant stay. On a weekend it can be quite loud from the bars/clubs around but that is to be expected in any hotel close to Amsterdam city centre

We had a great time at Bolster! Room was tiny but just what we needed. Area is great but definitely not quiet, so if you are looking for calm gateway then I would chose somewhere else. Plenty of food options and coffeeshops in the area. Also be prepared to climb some stairs! No elevator, but it had its European charm :)
