The Frisco Inn

Amsterdam

If I had paid no more than £90 per night for this room, I'd be satisfied due to the location. However, I paid £234 for one night and I am severely disappointed with the lack of value for money.

My first interaction with the hotel was when I called them prior to my stay, the rude staff did not give me a very good impression. I fell very poorly the day before I was due to arrive and I was asking if it would be possible to change the date of my booking (not cancel) to another peak date - I did not have any expectation of this as I know it was short notice. I spoke to a man on the phone who was very condescending, he laughed and said I can but it will cost me double the price. Before the phone conversation, it allowed to me to submit a date change request where it displayed the costings of how much the room would cost me if the hotel accept it. The date that I selected was the same cost, so he wanted to get more money through greed. I explained this and he ended up passing the phone onto another man who was more understanding, he explained to me that it was out of his power, but there would be a woman working in the morning that could sort it. I ended up telling him to leave the booking as it is, and if I was not well enough I would send somebody else to avoid me loosing the £234 I had paid.

I did end up travelling to the hotel as I felt well enough. The hotel also has a shisha bar where you're required to check in. The young lady that checked us in was lovely, although the music was that loud, no one could hear a thing. The hotel room was awful, it felt like a prison cell. The walls were disgusting and the bed had no head board. The carpets were just as bad. The window blind hardly served its purpose and the bathroom smelt horrible. The beds weren't comfortable and I woke up with a bad back - music was blaring until 4am, I'm usually a good sleeper but this was unbearable. 

Other reviews state they have stayed in a refurbished room, this mustn't apply across the whole site as ours definitely was not refurbished.

The only good thing about this hotel was the location and the lady that checked us out on the day of departure. She asked us if we would like a coffee before we left, asked if there was anything more she could do for us and and wished us safe travels back home. The location is perfect, all main attractions are right on the doorstep.

Overall, save your money and don't bother booking this, some 5* hotels in Dubai cost the same, if not less, per night.

Felt like a prison cell

Spent 2 nights there, the location fantastic, couldnt be any closer to central Amsterdam. All the staff were amazing, really helpful and very, very friendly. Not a criticism but just some advice, like lots of places in Amsterdam, the stairs up to the rooms are steep so not ideal if you have any mobility issues. Overall, I highly recommend The Frisco Inn and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Great location In the heart of Amsterdam

We didn't stay at the inn, however; we used their bar as our central base meeting point. The staff here were super helpful and hard working. For my partner's birthday we couldn't find cake and candles and when asked by the bar maid if she'd blown out any candles , after being told no, went and found a candle to bring out and started singing happy birthday to her. Staff were friendly and attentive and made sure you weren't sat for long without a drink. 

Meeting point next to our hotel. Very friendly and attentive staff 

Only had a few drinks here - Anna the waitress was a diamond, gave us great cocktails and was very chatty & friendly 
Cant say anything about the hotel as I didnt stay here but I would recommend popping in for a strong cocktail 

Great service from Anna 

21 euros for a beer and a cocktail! Say No More. Total Rip Off
Amsterdam is an expensive city but this place was the worst.
I feel that the Dutch, along with the rest of the Europeans can’t stand the English and just want to exploit them.
The lady who served wasn’t very friendly and very unwelcoming. There were no prices advertised.

Rip Off Bar

The rooms are basic as we expected clean bedding and room stairs are steep but are fine just use banister love the bar down stairs and the day manager sorry for got her name really friendly and helpful she made us feel so welcome so thank you 😁👍🏻we will come again.

Great time amazing day manger

A hell hole. They call it clean and pleasant but it is so so not. Filthy and unhygienic cesspit which nearly ruined our city break. And they couldn't care less. The minute you open the front door you begin to stick to the heavily stained carpets, dust and dirt is a common sight. The pics are only a taster of the Frisco Inn

Frisco inn Amsterdam

We paid over £400 for this hotel for 2 nights, it was extremely filthy dusty and dirty covering all skirting boards, what looked like a smudge of poo on the shower curtain, paint chipping off the all walls, mould in ALL tile grout in the bathroom, towel radiator filthy and rusty, bleach stains and other stains on carpets, the first night got woken at 3am by a girl banging on our door shouting help then heard her getting dragged down the stairs this continued on till 6am. We stopped here 4 years ago it was perfect very clean to a 4* standard but now it’s really downhill very disappointed, for the price we expect so much more. The only good thing I can say the lady who checked us in was nice. DO NOT STAY HERE

Poor hotel

We booked a deluxe room. 
Omg it was terrible.
Dirty stained duvet in bottom off wardrobe,  no hangers in wardrobe. Carpet stained everywhere. 
Shower curtain moldy, Blind too big for window. 
Stains on walls and paintwork chipped. Dust behind radiator. We both have medical problems so no way were we staying here.
We didn't even unpack and went down to complain and ask for a refund. 
Told we had to go through Booking. Com.
Then they asked for bank details and said money would be refunded in a couple of days, no way did we fall for that. Refund should go back on the card used for booking.
Had to find another hotel which cost us more but was clean and welcoming. 
Put a complaint in with Booking. com when we got back and asked for a refund, complaint application still ongoing.

Our first visit to Amsterdam was bittersweet.

Beware

This is a scam that I’m sure is illegal somewhere. They advertise a total different room which looks acceptable and clean. When you get there you will realise that it is unhygienic and you can’t take your socks off the whole day. They won’t give you another room.

Pick wisely between opening the window to the disgusting apartment, which looks like it’s been used as a sex dungeon for the night, for some fresh air.. or between listening to a raving party in your sleep.

They charged us €150 euros per night to stay here. We believed it was a good deal as it was in the centre. Please avoid and go to a place you know. Booking.com didn’t even support us so €450 euros for a scam.

The tram services in Amsterdam are extremely easy to manage just take your time and use apps like GBV (the tram company).

Going onwards, I blocked out the misery for one night and got smashed.. don’t know why… as a punishment for falling for a scam. Then woke up and realised this was not okay. We asked the lady for €100 euros back for two nights stay. We again asked for a different room. We said this room isn’t what’s advertised…. Overall, we asked nicely in 4 different ways.

She said no. They won’t refund us and neither will booking.com… she was right.

The comparison is there for you. Just covering my partner in the picture.

Recommend: 

easy hotel in Zaandam. Super clean and a 10 minute train away 

Ibis stopera. Really reasonable and super close. Walkable to center or a tram away.
