First Impressions
Walking up to Hotel Damsquare on Damstraat, you immediately get that “I’m right in the thick of things” feeling. This three-star property sits smack in the middle of Amsterdam‘s historic center, and honestly — the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Amsterdam charm without trying too hard, and you know you’re steps away from everything that matters in this city.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re literally a two-minute walk from Dam Square, which means the Royal Palace, shopping streets, and those iconic canal views are right at your doorstep. Amsterdam City Centre can be tricky to navigate, but this spot puts you where locals actually hang out too. I mean, you can grab morning coffee at a proper Dutch café, then wander over to the flower market or hop on a canal boat without any planning. Couples especially seem to get this — they’ve rated the location 9.4, and after spending time in the area, I totally understand why.
The Room Experience
The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid three-star place — clean, comfortable, and designed with function in mind rather than Instagram moments. Each room feels authentically Amsterdam with those tall windows that let in plenty of light (when the Dutch weather cooperates, anyway). You’re not getting high-end accommodations here, but you are getting a proper place to rest after walking miles through the city’s cobblestone streets. The beds are actually comfortable, which matters more than you might think when you’re doing the full tourist routine.
Morning Fuel
Breakfast here covers the basics well — they do both continental and buffet style, so whether you’re a grab-and-go type or someone who likes to linger over coffee, you’re sorted. The buffet has enough variety to keep you happy, and honestly, starting your day with a proper meal before hitting Amsterdam’s museums or bike rental shops just makes sense. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done and saves you from hunting down breakfast in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
Why Guests Love It
What really works about Hotel Damsquare is how it nails the essentials without any fuss. You’re paying for that incredible location and getting solid accommodations that don’t try to be something they’re not. The 7.6 rating reflects exactly what this place is — a reliable, well-positioned base for exploring Amsterdam. When you can walk to the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, and the best brown cafés in the city within minutes, you start to realize that sometimes location really is everything. It’s the kind of place where you’ll spend minimal time in your room because there’s too much to see outside, and that’s exactly the point.

What Our Guests Say
Lovely hotel, in the middle of most things. Location - you can’t get better than this hotel. Right in the middle of everything. Clean and tidy with a nice size tv.
What could be improved: The rooms were a little bit small, but for the amount of time you spend in them, it didn’t impact us hugely.
Superb Close to the train station and sights
Absolutely perfect, if I were younger! If I were 20 or 30 something this property… for this money would have been PERFECT, but I’m 43yrs old… a little too old and set it my ways… I like silence. This place is in the heart of Amsterdam, its location is perfect! I had a private one bathroom room with an ensuite. everything was immaculate. The bathroom also included a hairdryer, shampoo, and body wash, oh and clean towels. I received room service each day… clean sheets etc. There’s 24 hour reception so there is always someone to ask questions and help. My stay wad absolutely perfect except my 20 year old children should’ve been there! Not me, I’m too old for so much activity, fun, and noise 😅

Great stay in the heart of Amsterdam Great location in a busy area but quiet from the hotel room. The room was comfy, clean and had all the basics you need.
