No complaints. everything was excellent.

Workmen cleaning building facade started at 7.00am, instead of later in the morning as advised by management.

Rooms were a bit small and there were no luggage caddies to put your luggage on.

The room could use a bit more or brighter lighting.

Thin walls could hear our neighbors cough, bar outside on the street was loud untill closing time

N/A

The lighting in the room was very low. The sink area in the bathroom needs more shelving . The shower should have wall handles for safety.

Under construction.

We didn’t know about the construction until we arrived.

The room was very small. The exterior of the building was under renovation so completely covered in scaffolding.

Nothing

since check in is at 3pm we had to pay 25€ to get in it early even though it WAS ready when we arrived at 12:30

The twin mattress wanted to slide off the bed, but this wasn’t a huge problem.

Nothing I didn’t like.

Our bathroom smelling horrible that we couldn’t even go in to it. We got assistance to have it sprayed and it was better. The lighting in the room is quite poor.

Our room had a very bad smell - almost like a mold or mildew issue that made our luggage smell when we left. I don’t know if this was just an issue with our room but it was very noticeable. I would also not recommend the French restaurant in the lobby - they were very rude and rushed us off of our table and service was bad.

My wife and I are long-time, highly experienced travelers. We have been to Amsterdam at least two dozen times over many years and have always had excellent luck with lodging. This trip, we booked a 4-night stay at Die Port van Cleve for the first time, paying in advance on Booking.com. We checked in about 11:30am on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, were charged an extra 25 euros for early check in and were scheduled to depart on Saturday, August 15. On Wednesday morning, which was still 3 full days before our scheduled departure, I asked the front desk to shorten our stay by one night, meaning we would depart on Friday rather than Saturday. When Syrel, who was very kind, contacted the hotel "reservation department" they said no, we would not receive a refund for the final, unused night. I called Booking.com to enlist their help and they, too, were very kind. The agent called the hotel while I was on hold to stress that we were long-time customers and our request was minimal—we would merely be staying for 3 nights rather than 4. The "reservation department" wouldn't budge. We checked out on Friday anyway and are now out $275 for the last night. Nearly two weeks later, after appealing to the hotel manager, this is the response I rec'd. "Your reservation was made through Booking.com on a prepaid rate. Unfortunately, the conditions attached to this rate do not provide for a refund when a stay is shortened after arrival." He went on to blame it on the staff saying he was "sorry (for) the way this was communicated" but his explanation is nonsense. Staff was helpful. Booking.com was helpful. He could issue a refund with the click of a mouse. It was his decision and his alone. Considering the small ask I was making, I feel the way the hotel manager treated us was outrageous. I travel a lot and am accustomed to better service. Is business so bad they have to shake down their customers for a lousy $275?

Towels were paper thin, rooms were small, even by European standards, lighting was terrible, couldn't read a book, bathroom was constantly damp due to poor ventilation, furnishings cheap for a 4 star hotel, not even a headboard for the bed. But the worst was their check-in blackmail policy. Official check in time was 3:30 pm. If you were there earlier, they wouldn't allow you to access your room, without paying an additional 150 to 25 euros extra, depending on how early you were there, even if your assigned room was vacated, cleaned and ready, they wouldn't give you your key before 3:30 pm, unless you paid an extra "convenience fee." I call it an "extortion fee." I stay in hotels 4 months each year and this is the only hotel to extort this fee. Terrible policy. They should be ashamed and embarrassed.
