I stayed 4 days here and everything was spotless clean despite the fact that renovations were taking place. Jasper was friendly and accommodating. The Il Fiore Restaurant has excellent food and friendly service. Our bed was really comfortable and our bathroom was large

Seems to be under new owners? Hotel has three different names and no way to contact any of them. Ignored emails as well. But it is a great location and hopefully these issues will be resolved soon.

We did not like the fact that there were no reception staff at the facility between 6pm and 8am. There was not even morning coffee available (2 packets of instant coffee were never replenished during our 3 night stay). There was a bar and breakfast area but no service. The daytime staff who were there were very friendly and helpful but we would not recommend this "hotel"

Strange hotel probably once a residence and redeveloped into hotel rooms. The hotel went by three different names: Il Golfo, Hotel Fossa, and the name listed near the door. It seemed like a scam at first but was actually legit. However, the price I paid wasn't worth what I got. I thought $148 was a lot but add another $30 for taxes. Needless to say, but never again.

A mixed experience
This is a small, quiet and comfortable hotel. The staff, if you can find them, are friendly. The location is very good, it’s a lovely neighbourhood with some good restaurants. My concerns are that it isn’t easy to find, and there is no obvious signage. The reception is only part-time, and I was really taken aback that it wasn’t open for a 9am checkout on my last day, which was so inconvenient. I’ve been told that British people have a reputation in the hotel trade for complaining, but I rarely do. However, this hotel needs to sort out signage, branding and customer care! They don’t even have notices telling you when to expect the reception to be open. A real mixed bag of an experience, which is a shame because the rooms are clean and comfortable. Be forewarned.

Établissement très bien situé. Propre. Bon relationnel avec le gérant
Food in restaurant is good and staff there were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately no breakfast or bar. Good central position but do need to walk to reach public transport
Room on very top floor was difficult to access via spiral staircase. Handrails do not go all the way to the top

La limpieza brilla por su ausencia
Fuimos dos parejas y, al entrar cada una a su habitación, vimos que las habitaciones no estaban limpias, así como que tampoco tenían gel de baño (costando cada habitación al día unos 200 €).
Al día siguiente, dijimos en recepción que pusieran gel, contestándonos que así lo harían.
Al volver por la tarde, vimos que las camas no las habían hecho, no estaba el gel y el suelo de la habitación seguía sucio. Bajamos de nuevo a recepción y el encargado nos dijo que en el registro de limpieza estaba marcado como que se había limpiado. Lógicamente, esto me pareció una broma y estuvimos tratando el tema con un mayor volumen hasta que nos oyó el que pudiera ser dueño del hotel.
Volvimos a explicarle el tema y, después de un buen rato dándole detalles, llamó al de la limpieza por teléfono (imagino que a su casa ya que eran las siete de la tarde) para que nos la limpiara mientras cenábamos invitados por él en el hotel. Por supuesto le dijimos que no queríamos cenas gratis, queríamos una habitación mínimamente limpia.
Aún así, al cabo de un rato cuando estábamos duchándonos en la habitación, vino el chico de la limpieza para limpiar. Le dijimos que no era hora y que, después de estar todo el día fuera queríamos descansar.
Al día siguiente, al volver sobre las 6 de la tarde a la habitación, tampoco estaba limpia ni hecha la cama. Una hora más tarde, nos llama a la puerta para limpiar y, para que lo hiciera por fin, cenamos en la terraza de la habitación y que esta pesadilla acabara ya.

Sleepless in Amsterdam
The air conditioning in this room was non existent. I complained and they said is would be fixed the next day. It was never fixed. I couldn’t open the windows at night because the busy bar on the corner was going until 2:30 am in the morning. The twin beds at some kind of mattress that caused one to slide off the side unless you stayed perfectly cantered on your back and the bed was too short. I got no sleep the three nights I stayed. I asked for another room but there wasn’t one. The girl that worked the day of the 21st was pleasant, sympathetic and helpful with information. My dinner in the restaurant was very good. Eat there but don’t sleep there.

When you stay here, you immediately feel like family! The staff is fantastic! Friendly, can answer any question, and give excellent directions to any place you may want to visit or eat, including how/where to get an appointment for Covid tests for travel. The on-site Italian restaruant is excellent, both inside and outdoor dining. Our room was immaculate and exactly as described. You cannot go wrong with this establishment. If Hotel II Fiore is fully booked when I want to visit Amsterdam, I will change my travel date until a room here is available.

Quaint, friendly, accommodating
The staff was friendly and quick to answer questions, I loved having a restaurant below, it made food options easy - be sure to make reservations early. The hotel is a short walk from some historical places and beautiful photogenic scenes. Everything in Europe is small, it’s not just this hotel - as long as you accept this, it’s a comfortable stay.

It’s in a residential neighborhood safe with plenty of food and dining options
The only thing slightly difficult was that I was a single traveler and the elevator goes to the 4 th floor only so if you are on the fifth floor with a big suitcase it’s a bit difficult coming to the trim with it and leaving the room with it
