As if the location and cleanliness of this hotel was not enough, the people working behind the counter were even better. Locked myself out at 6 in the morning and they were kind enough to make me another key as my taxi arrived. Can’t say enough about this gem of a hotel.

Great service but feel really let down.☹️
I've been a visitor to Amsterdam for over twenty years, visiting 6 to 8 times a year for culture. I usually stay in the same 2 or 3 hotels near Concertgebouw but all were booked out this weekend so I was happy to try Asterisk for the first time, mostly based on the very positive reviews. The welcome was warm, I was given a hot towel on arrival (nice touch and great idea on this cold, rainy day). Young lady at reception was pleasant and helpful. Settling into Room 115 I suddenly noticed something odd. No toilet or bathroom. Just a wash hand basin. Confused, I checked my booking details on Hotels.com and confirmation email from Asterisk. Nothing to indicate no toilet or bathroom. Genuinely intrigued I went back to reception to be told I had to use the toilet and bathroom further down the corridor. Why I wasn't told this when I checked-in wasn't explained but 'apparently' I was informed previously by email. Having checked thro' my email, including spam and junk, nothing there by way of explanation. So for my 2-night stay I had to walk up and down the hotel corridor, past other guests' rooms, in order to use the toilet. I can't help thinking that because I was polite, courteous and friendly upon arrival, it was decided that the 'old fellow from Ireland' won't complain, so give him one of the nightmare rooms. Anyhow, a big, big pity. At my age I hate being taken for a fool so won't be staying at the Asterisk again. Please make sure you don't find yourself in the same situation

The room was very different than what was shown on the website. Barely room for one person let alone 2 traveling with suitcases and back packs. Tiny desk pretty useless for any work.

It's a nice family run location. We stayed in the apartment across the street from the hotel. It was relatively clean with a nice bathroom. The only issue was it was extremely hot. Not sure what kind of mattresses they are using, but I would wake up sweaty and stuck to the mattress. No AC in the room, only a small fan and because our room was on the ground floor, we were not comfortable leaving the patio door open at night. I would say a little pricey for what you get, no breakfast!

Lovely but lacking a,enmities.
The staff were amazing. They were very kind, prompt, and helpful. However, the room was very small without a bed table or place to put luggage. The electrical outlets were all on the side of the room. They were also needed in the middle of the room. We paid for a room with a window, but the window was blocked by one of the signs on the building.

So happy we booked our stay in Amsterdam at Hotel Asterisk! First, our check in experience with Adam was a delight and he continued to be friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Our room was large and quiet located in a building across the street from the main hotel. Our room overlooked a courtyard and it was nice and quiet even with the windows open! Location was close to everything - just a wonderful stay!

FANTASTIC place and super close to metro!!
FANTASTIC experience. The front desk was cordial from the very beginning and they took care of our questions and needs at all times. The owner and his family live on premise and we ran into them a few times and they were absolutely great people. This property is super close to metro and about 30 minutes from the airport. We took an Uber to and fro to airport. Very convenient. Highly recommend choosing this property!!
