Sint Nicolaas Review

Named after Amsterdam's patron saint, this hotel is conveniently near Centraal Station, in a prominent corner building at the apex of two converging streets. Heavy tram, bus, and car traffic passing by outside is the downside to this location. Originally, the building was a factory that manufactured ropes and carpets from sisal imported from the then-Dutch colonies; it later housed harbor offices. New owners have upgraded the interior to near-boutique status, affording a level of comfort that's rarely achieved by Amsterdam hotels in this price range. This applies especially if you score a rate at the lower end of wide scale rates -- skewed upwards by the "de luxe doubles" -- and bear in mind a thin amenities roster. Each room has a different character, with the regular ones emphasizing classic comforts, warm colors, prints, and exposed wood beams; and the deluxe doubles all cool blacks, grays, and whites.

Facilities:
Lounge; bar

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
