The rooms are very small and outdated. The bath did not have any shower screen and the toilet was very small with not enough room to move. The room had a squeaking floor with outdated carpet and furnishing. The reception area was under renovation with a strong smell of paint and other stuff. The towels provided were smelly. We booked a room with two single beds for 2 nights however it was not available on check-in The hotel staff did provide another room for the second night, however, it was on the 3rd floor for which the stairs have a narrow step so we ended up not using the second room. The hotel is not too far and is close 10-15 walk to the main shopping area/town center.

Rooms have no phone. Not electrical outlet in bathroom. Closet had only two hangers. Had to walk up 55 very steep winding stairs to get to my room. Place is a fire trap. Light fixture over bed only had one bulb, rather than two as fixture required. Room was not ready at 2 PM, so I had to walk down 55 stairs to advise management since there are no phones in the Room. I would avoid this hotel

Good place to stay in Amsterdam
We enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The room was clean. I have to agree with other reviews I read before, that there is not air-conditioning, which was a little hard when it was really hot, and also those stairs to the upper floors are seriously steep, so if you have trouble with stairs with big suitcases, be aware.

A few qualities make this ideal for an Amsterdam experience. Its proximity to the center, its nestling away from the real busy and possibly rowdy areas, and how nice the people are that run it. There was not an issue getting checked in, or deciding whether to get breakfast, or renting a bike, etc. The stay was easy. You are right next to a large Botanical garden and park, and heading west, you will go directly into the excitement. I was able to use their rentable bikes all day without any complications or hassles. The landlord even made an effort to let me hold on to the key until next morning so that I could use it that night. The room was in great condition. The bed cushioning was average for my preference, but I slept great on it. I didn't have breakfast, but the breakfast room was a grand sight to see. Also, there is a zoo a block away that I missed and didn't go to.

Short Break
Arrived at 10 am to leave my luggage, informed that my room could be ready in 30 mins, so I was checked in. Room on 3rd floor so steep stairs to negotiate, as expected in Amsterdam. Had no problem with this during my stay. Near tram stop & metro so nicely out of bustle of city centre, but easy enough when wanting to get back to hotel. Staff I met were extremely pleasant & helpful. Room was single small room, spotlessly clean, everything that was needed in room. Very quiet room to come back to at end of busy days. would recommend.

Thank you for your review. We would like to advise anyone to read more than one review because there is always more than one way of looking at things: 8 out of 10by Gregory onHotels.comPosted Jun 25, 2023Good location. Hotel has no air conditioning or elevator. staircase between each of the three floors and approximately 18-20 steps. Nice selection of items at continental breakfast.This is a review that we also received today. Yes, the hotel is not one of the modern ones build in concrete, but staying here gives you a good impression of the Amsterdam atmosphere and way people used to build houses here. The building was build in 1864/1865 and the stairs have not changed.But indeed, our hotel is not for everyone, so it is always good to read the hotel description before you make a reservation. We hope you had a nice time in Amsterdam. kind regards, Hotel Parklane

We loved this hotel and would recommend it. Very convenient to public transport, as the #14 tram stops just around the corner. Breakfast was continental and very good. The owners live on property and are super friendly. they even fixed our breakfast "to go" the night before (and we stored it in our refrigerator) when we had to catch an early train the next morning. Very quiet residential neighborhood. Cafe on the corner. There's a lovely park just across the street on the canal. Perfect for a morning stroll. The botanic garden is next to the park. Be aware that not all rooms have air conditioning. It was absolutely not a problem in late May. Also, we had a cheaper room which involved staying on the top floor and as is typical in Amsterdam, there were steep staircases and no elevator. Still, for the price, this was an excellent hotel. Would absolutely stay there again!

Amazing location in a beautiful neighborhood that is a convenient walk to the center of the city. Very helpful staff. Room was comfortable. If you have mobility issues, ask for room 1 on the first floor, which is a double but a third bed can be added. Other rooms are upstairs, which requires being able to climb fairly steep stairs. We will be staying here again!

Absolutely outrageous to sell what is effectively a tiny converted attic with no proper windows for 150 Euros a night at a 3* hotel. Inexcusable and the risk of getting that claustrophobia-inducing room again is reason enough not to return.
Response from Marijke Ernens on 19 May,2023
So surprising. You book a room in a hotel called the 'budget attic room' with the following description: somewhat smaller room with a window and no view. The room is on the 3rd floor (attic!) and we have no elevator. So, you got exactly what you booked and then after you complain? For other people whom read this, the budget attic room is the most quiet room in our hotel, it is a nice little room with it's own bathroom. There is nothing wrong with it, it is just small and therefore our cheapest room for two people. What you book is what you get, no more, but no less either. Let it be clear that if you book a regular double/twin room you do not get this room. Only if you book the budget attic room specifically. kind regards, Hotel Parklane

We are very proud of the old character that our hotel still has, but we understand it's not for everyone. the building is from 1864/1865 and yes, this means steep stairs, not so narrow though.

Very pleasant hotel - we stayed there for 4 nights in November and it was a nice stay. It is walking distance from the centre and room was clean. The only downsides were that there was no lift so if your mobility is poor this is not the hotel for you! Also if you want breakfast it is 13.50 euros per person per day. We didn’t feel that this was worth the money as the breakfast was literally toast, fruit and biscuits. Overall a good stay though!
Response from Marijke Ernens on 4 Dec,2022
Dear guest, thank you for the nice review and we would like to say that it is really nice to hear that you had a pleasant stay. Regarding the breakfast, we would like to describe the breakfast for our future guests, because really it is not just toast, fruit and biscuits.The breakfast consists of 4 kinds of cheese (dutch and french), 3 kind of sausage, milk, yoghurt, orange juice, coffee, tea, boiled eggs, several kinds of sweet cookies, lots of sweet stuff to put on bread like chocolate hundreds and thousands, jam, honey, several kinds of serial, muesli, fresh white and brown bread, freshly baked white buns and croissants. And of course fruit, not only banana's apples and oranges, but also sometimes grapes, sometimes melon, or both.Anyway thank you for giving us the opportunity to describe our breakfast and thank you again for your nice review. kind regards, Hotel Parklane Marijke Ernens

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is in a quiet part of town, yet there is plenty to see and do in the area . It is within walking distance of many attractions and of course there are no hills! The hotel itself is traditional and overlooks a park with the zoo about 5 minutes walk away. However there is not a lift or double glazing. This means outside noise from the park can be a problem at night. There is a welcoming restaurant on the corner of the road and the canal is also only a few minutes walk away. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
