Amsterdam Hotel

This was an incredibly affordable stay in Stamford. We were going to a show in Port Chester and needed a place to spend the night. We were not looking for anything extravagant, just a clean, inexpensive hotel and this fit the bill perfectly. It was much better than we anticipated. Check-in was easy and quick, the room very clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast was just OK. This is an incredible deal for a hotel in downtown Stamford.

Great hotel in a perfect location. The front desk staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating. The room was very clean and quiet. Yes, the decor is a bit dated but exceptionally clean and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend .

Rooms are way outdated. Needs a major upgrade. The bed was super hard. The furniture didn’t look like it was wiped down and felt uncomfortable using them. The bathroom needs updating as well. Also, I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen drop ceiling in a hotel. For the price, was expecting a bit more. Should have paid more and stayed closer to HPN. However, for a quick stay it isn’t bad; uber ride round trip to HPN was $100. I personally wouldn’t recommend more than a night if you’re used to staying at some of the major franchise hotels. The front desk gentleman was welcoming and the ease of checking in was quick.

Located very conveniently near the highway and 10 minutes from a beach. It's a 2-star hotel, so basic, but I rate it highly for v this category of hotel. There's free wifi, free parking, free continental breakfast and each room has a minifridge, coffee maker, microwave, iron, and TV. We thought the beds were comfortable, though we like them firm. The only downsides were that the curtains don't fully cover the east-facing window, so sunlight woke us up very early ; and the TV remote didn't work (it turned on but essential buttons weren't functioning) and my kids like the croissants or eggo waffles at breakfast. Front desk staff was polite.

The staff is very nice, the rooms are clean and large, the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was the usual Continental breakfast with some fresh fruit, and was good. The location is easy to find. The only dings against it are that the hotel is a bit worn and the sound proofing is non-existent. The convenience of easy access to I-95 is overwhelmed by the inconvenience of terrible traffic noisefrom the highway. As a reasonably priced hotel in Stamford, it is great. It is just noisy.

Tried a couple name brand hotels but|they were over twice the price. Read the reviews and decided at this price it was certainly worth trying. I will be back. Older hotel but everything else was a 5!

To be upfront, the room decor is dated Think 1970’s vibe:) but the overall cleanliness of rooms and friendliness of staff, not to mention great location, makes this the perfect overnight stay for a road tripping couple. We would stay here again!

Good afternoon! I live in North Carolina, but have a sister who has been confined to a long-term acute care facility in Stamford, CT for several years; another sister (from Maryland) and I visit her periodically. While we always stay at The Amsterdam Hotel, my most recent visit compelled me to write this review. Not only does the Amsterdam offer best room pricing, a wonderful continental breakfast, spacious, spotless, conveniently furnished rooms AND parking, it is the EXCEPTIONAL atmosphere and attitude always seen toward guests, between employees from cleaning to executive staff, and even with contractors. I consistently witness a professional, pleasant, respectful, and awesome attitude at The Amsterdam. It is comforting to know I can relax comfortably during multiple-day stays in such an environment. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experiences at The Amsterdam. Shirley Gibb of North Carolina

We have stayed here twice now in a span of several years. We felt fortunate several years ago to find a clean and quiet place with on site free parking in Stamford, and feel exactly the same way about our recent stay. A little out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the city, but still so close to restaurants and night life in Stamford. The room and entire place was extremely clean, quiet, with no stupidity or worries. The bed and pillows could use an upgrade, but the price was so reasonable and the place so quiet and well run that we would definitely stay again and would recommend.

The highlight of this hotel is its staff, who are polite and professional, even when responding to unhappy guests like me. Unfortunately the hotel itself is pretty rundown. The rooms are small and the amenities are minimal, but that should be expected at an inexpensive hotel like this. However, the elevator buttons are broken (you even have to push up to go down), it smells strongly of mildew in the hallways and in my room, there are stains and hair on the carpeting, no ventilation in the bathroom, and the room phone is broken and doesn't work. The furnishings, appliances, and cable box setups are outdated. Everything is a little crimand worn. I ended up canceling two of my three nights. They were very good about refunding the two, and I would definitely consider staying here in the future if I had heard that they had major refresh. As it is, I'll be leaving in the morning.

Booked two nights here because attending shows at Capitol Theatre in nearby Port Chester, 20 minutes away. While it's a bit dated and certainly not luxurious, the beauty of it is the price and location. For $95 you get a spacious and clean room that's about an hour from Manhattan. "Drive a little, save a lot", my husband likes to say. It's a bargain for a hotel near NYC. You can also take a direct train to Grand Central Station. Also a short drive to the lovely Hudson River Valley. Room clean, bed OK, heat works, nice shower. Fridge and microwave. Free parking. Check in easy. Friendly front desk person. You can bring pets. Free breakfast crappy, but to be fair, only called a Continental breakfast. Costco muffins and croissants, cereal, weak coffee (ubiquitous in hotels...why is this so hard to pull off?), juice. There are plenty of eating joints and shops nearby.

The staff was just terrific. Sure, it's dated, but a great value and really good location.

Do not say here the staff is rude and the rooms are dated looks like the 1980's and they must rent rooms to homeless and get paid from the city

This hotel is decent for the price....very clean.. they could use an upgrade with the carpet...Tanja and Carlton were very nice..drive to NYC was only 45mins.... plenty of parking space..in a kind of desolate spot, but there are stores walking distance and a gas/convenient store...

The Amsterdam Hotel is a great place to stay for the price and the location. Being that it was a 45-minute trip to NYC, it was perfect for us as we had tickets to the Mets game at Citi Field. Check-in was very easy, and kudos to the desk clerk who allowed us to check in a little early. The room was very spacious and clean. The air conditioning worked very well. However, the king-sized bed very hard, and there were only three thin pillows on the bed. The room could do with a bit of upgrading as the paint was chipping off the walls, and the rug was a bit threadbare. Also, one of the two elevators was out of service, and the one that worked was slow and old. There was a nice continental breakfast which we took advantage of. Coffee and food were very good. All in all, I would recommend the Amsterdam for a quick stay but not for a long stay.

H O R R I B L E ! My wife and I couldn't wait to leave!!! * Bed felt like a 70s mattresses; firm springs and cardboard. * Pillows had stains of mildew on it. * Blankets were out of date. * Pubic hair in the bathtub. Not worth 60-80$. Positive: Location close to everything you'd want to see in Stamford, CT.

We stayed for an overnight at the Amsterdam Hotel last month and it was exactly what we needed. Our room was super clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was lovely. We parked in the lot below the hotel and it was fine. The hotel is conveniently located, a great value, and we wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

The hotel is a bit old, the elevator made me skeptical the carpet the decor everything about this hotel needs to be updated

This is one of the worst hotels we have stayed at. The decor could have that classic vintage look but it looks more run down. The staff are not very welcoming. We were excited to come here at first because there was a deal that we were getting for cheap along with our two small dogs. When we get there, they charged us for the dogs and was told the charge is separate from the room. Once we look at the charges, the dogs cost more than the room itself. The beds are very old and uncomfortable, walls have cracks, bathroom is dirty with someone else's hair in the bathtub. Bottom line, the place seemed more like a brothel than a hotel. Beware only stay here if you have absolutely no choice!

when considering the rates outstanding value. 1/2 the price of area hotels but not 1/2 as good. It does not bother me but I would say the only knock on the hotel is rt 95 highway noise and maybe its slightly outdated but that gives it its charm like an older inn . Can stay here 2 nights for the price of one night in chain hotels in the area so why would you stay anywhere else??

Bed bug central! Stay away!! This place is Bed Bug Central! Stay away!! I woke up in the middle of the night itching like crazy. I looked on my arm and saw multiple whelps from bites. I went to the front desk to let them know what happened and to request a refund. The male receptionist insisted that they were mosquito bites. As if a mosquito could ride the elevator with me, come into my room and bite me 5 times on the same arm while I'm sleeping. Needless to say, he did not refund my money and only offered to switch my room. Since that was the only option and it was the middle of the night I took it but I was way too paranoid to go back to sleep. Stay away!!

Would have been more stars but these beds are terrible... Picture those crunchy plastic covered hard (not firm) mattresses without fitted sheets, set on a stained bed skirt. That's it. Oh, and no outlets next to the bed head. You can either go two feet up the wall and stretch it across, or pull the mattress out and unplug the alarm clock. The bathroom was almost spotless and actually looked inviting for showering. Love having a fridge and microwave. And the lights in the parking lot were motion sensored for you when parking. The desk man was angry at the card reader though and was hard to understand otherwise, but i got a room anyways since they were out of what i booked online. There's a Walgreens across the street if you need anything too.

The location needs upgrade like yesterday. Service was ok but it is simply worth spending your money on a little extra to get what you want/need. The positive thing about staying here is having a shuttle to the train station. I know people use this hotel and others to go see those buffoneri shows on TV so if that's your purpose for staying here, the cost may be on par for the purpose. But I'll pass. Grade: D

I stayed here with my daughter on our first trip to Ct to see the Steve Wilkos Show. The hotel was conveniently located near the studio (in fact we walked both ways, about 15 minutes each way) and the hotel offered shuttle service to/from the local Amtrak station. I wish I would have known this in advance as I paid $9 for a taxi...... Inside the hotel was beautifully decorated although the décor was a tad outdated. It felt like you were in someone's home. The owner, an older lady, was absolutely charming and very much made us feel welcome and special. The rooms were larger than the average hotel room, clean, and comfortable. The free breakfast had more items than expected, and not advertised as the hotel was full yet we were the only ones eating there. There seemed to be a lot of unexpected perks that we were unaware of till we got there (shuttle, free business "area", free breakfast). The price was very low compared to what all was included and I would definitely seek this hotel out if I was ever in that area again. On the downsize there was a Taco Bell right out front which tended to attract a less then desirable crowd, that hung outside rather late into the evening. Although we didn't hear them inside our room which faced the Taco Bell I did feel uneasy, walking past, alone with my daughter after 9pm.

This is a no frills but charming hotel. It met all our needs for a one night stay. I enjoyed the music in the lobby. Personal was exceptional. There was on site parking and a continental breakfast. It was walking distance to downtown. The only issue was that the door did not lock completely. I would definitely stay here again, though.

Stayed here for a business trip because I like the fact that Amsterdam has a shuttle from the Amtrak station to the hotel and vice versa. The continental breakfast was stocked, the rooms were sub par but spacious and clean, and the service was impeccable. The front desk even dropped me off at my destination, instead of me having to take a cab, because they said it was on the way. Tip: Make sure to ask the front desk what time the shuttle is taking off. And/or call them when you arrive at the Amtrak station.

Amsterdam Hotel is for budget travelers and has to be graded as such, so I'm giving it 5 stars. The price will be 50-100% cheaper than other nearby hotels and that is a big deal. The rooms are clean and large enough, though dated, as other's have noted. But you get an iron, coffee maker, microwave and fridge, hair dryer, desk to write at and a free breakfast consisting of a muffin or bagel and coffee or juice. If you just want somewhere to sleep as you travel by, this is a great place for the money. There are no vending machines, so bring your own snacks.

They say that they're the best value in Fairfield County -- and I'm betting that they're right. We stopped in Stamford to visit an old friend on the way up to New Hampshire. Knowing that we would be stopping overnight in that general area before we left Philadelphia, we checked out the hotel situation in the Stamford area. The Amsterdam was among the least expensive hotels or motels of the twenty or so around. The standard room with queen size bed and all the usual amenities was listed (rack rate!) at $80. That included a continental breakfast. The Holiday Inns, Marriotts, etc.. were running upwards of $160 without breakfast. Naturally, we were suspicious. We arrived in the Stamford area on a Wednesday in the afternoon. Along the way up on I95, we picked up one of those hotel discount coupon booklets that can be found at every rest stop. There was a coupon for the Amsterdam offering the $80 room for $65 on a walk-in and if available basis. We decided to check this place out. This is one of those few times when what looks like it's-too-good-to-be-true actually is true. There was no problem about honoring the coupon. And we were shown a couple of room to choose one to our liking. As in its description, both rooms (actually, the whole hotel) have recently undergone a total redecoration. We chose the room with the 32" flat screen TV over the one with a slightly smaller screen (with very wide selection of cable channels including the premium ones like HBO). The room was spacious, immaculate and had all the usual amenities found in Holiday Inn type motels/hotels. The breakfast room is small and somewhat shabby, but clean (the only public space in the hotel not upgraded). The continental breakfast was very basic: orange juice, a couple of dry cereals, a bowl of apples, muffins, bread for toasting and croissants. The latter were perfectly acceptable, of the type that you'd find at Costco or BJ's. I rated these accommodations with five stars because this really is "As good as it gets" -- for the money.

For the price, this hotel was top-notch. When most hotels are charging upwards of $150-$200, this hotel was only charging $89. Great location. Great price. Great stay.
