Not sure what was going on in the city, but I had a lot of issues finding any availability in a reasonably priced hotel. Asterisk was on the limit of my budget (280EUR/2 nights in a triple room which was the only available one), but as it was the closest I could get to the centre, I decided to take... More

We found that the Hotel Asterisk was perfectly adequate for our needs and served it's purpose well for central Amsterdam, The rooms were on the small side but with a busy short stay in a city this was not a problem. The bathroom was close enough and served by plenty of hot water from an excellent shower. The hotel was... More

Dear guest, Thank you for writing a review! From your comment, I understand that you stayed in one of our basic rooms, which are indeed smaller than the ones with private facilities. I agree that those rooms are very suitable for travellers that like to have a nice place to stay at a top location, to be in the center-museum... More

This is a typical small hotel. The rooms are basic but clean and tidy. Unfortunately my room was on the first floor and there was no elevator - it was quite a struggle to get my bags up the very steep stairs. Breakfast was included and was quite satisfactory but simple.

This is a great place in the city centrum of Amsterdam. Transportation is easily accesible from this location even though we did much of our traveling throughout the city on foot from here. In a busy city, this is a wonderfully quiet place. Our room was very nice, clean, and the breakfast buffet is adequate and served in a lovely... More

I read all the reviews and almost did not book this property and it would have been a HUGE mistake. As a travel agent, I travel often. I was looking to have a real Dutch experience in a small downtown hotel. Not all of my guests can afford Hilton, Sheraton and like hotels. This property offers something for everyone. We... More

My buddy and I stayed in a room with twin beds and a shared bathroom in the hallway. The rooms were small but comfortable to stay in for the two nights we were there. Breakfast was also included and they had different types of bread, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, and juices. The location is right by the Heineken Museum and... More

Dear guest, Thank you for your review on tripadvisor. From your comment I can see you stayed in a basic room. This indeed means smaller rooms with shared facilities, budget price yet all comfort of the full breakfast buffet, services and expertise of staff. Nice to hear that this was suitable. For longer stays, I advise you to book a... More
