Probably won’t stay there again
The location of this hotel is in a pretty prime spot! That part I really enjoyed. However, the front desk service was pretty unfriendly and not super welcoming. Additionally, I had Just booked the hotel and a couple hours later I realized I had accidentally selected the wrong dates and tried to amend the reservation. They refused to reimburse me. The two additional nights had been reserved by accident even though it had only been about 30 minutes. Typically, hotels will work with you, given the circumstances, and how far away in advance the reservation was made, but they seemed more interested in taking my money than helping me. When I got to the room, it was very very, very basic. It wasn’t super uncomfortable, but it definitely was not cozy cozy. I probably would not stay there again.

Great location, just right for the budget. AC works great as Amsterdam was quite hot and the AC really helped. Staff is very friendly and helpful. No breakfast facility in the hotel, but they offer coffee and free fruit.

Place was in the centre really handy, they stored our bags etc which was helpful. However they didn’t have a twin room which we booked, The room was tiny and there were tissues on the floor. It didn’t really look like the photos but was decent.

The hotel room and the hotel itself is decorated beautifully and very unique. The bathroom was okay, not the cleanest I've had in a hotel and there's no separate shower floor area - it is all one floor so the entire bathroom gets quite wet. No fan as well. The beds were comfortable but the two single beds wouldn't stay together at all so as a couple it was difficult to sleep next to each other. Overall it was a good stay and a convenient location for walking everywhere we wanted to go. The hotel is unique and quiet and staff are kind.

Quirky but good location
Quirky hotel. Every room is different. Some much smaller than others. Was clean and beds were comfortable. The entry is not fancy but in a great spot to walk to everything. plenty of food and drink right outside the door. Good value for the price.

Disliked: Room comfort
No amenities at all, room did not even have tissues. No spce in bathroom, no shelves, no room on sink, no towel rack. We have all been in lots of hotel rooms with poor lighting, but this was the worst ever. Room was very very dark, even in day time. A/C worked very well. Did not expect a luxury hotel at the price paid but this was absolutely bare bones

Property was near the centralized train station which is convenient for traveling. The room we felt like a small jailcell. There were stains on the walls and the curtains left a sticky residue when touched. It was very surprising how the room looked nothing like the hotel’s website. I wish I paid a third of the cost and stayed at a hostel instead.

I didn’t expect that the room is way too far from the photo at the website. The room is so tiny that it is hard for me and my wife to move around. The water drains too slow from the sink. Definitely not coming back to this hotel.

My room had hair- others hair- on the toilet, bath towels and on shower floor; it also had stains (looked like makeup) all over the pillow case. I took photos when I got into my room, showed the Supervisor who told me she could downgrade me or upgrade me with a charge. We asked to speak to the Manager and requested a full refund. After a 3 HOUR exchange (excuse the pun), we received a refund and booked a different hotel (having to, of course, pay more money). Terrible service- check in was a nightmare, disorganized and no sense of urgency on hotel staff's part. Is unfortunate because the location, although very busy and noisey on Damark, could be a better experience. The Exchange Hotel needs a lot of work for the price they charge and the positives they claim for their hotel. The only positive that came about was that after 3 hours of patience and negotiations, we received a full refund on a non-refundable room. This was a result of "threatening" Visa policy and consequences they could incur. After a 9.5 hours flight, this was a HUGE pain in the ass.

Mostly pros, just a few cons
The room was a little dirty and the bathroom smelled a bit, but I overall had a great experience. Service was excellent, and you really can't beat the location. I also liked the character of the hotel, and could see myself staying here again. Within walking distance to pretty much everything you might want to see it do, as well as transportation.

Hotel the Exchange was cozy with refreshing AC. It’s very convenient being right in the center of town, and just a hop away from Amsterdam Centraal.
