Staff were excellent- super friendly and they truly appreciated our business! The location is in the heart of the city and is considered one of the busiest areas. Our room was in a quiet spot on the second floor facing the back courtyard. Although the room was basic and in need of some TLC, the hotel has started a large renovation and I'm sure the summer guests will be treated to refreshed rooms.
For the price this was crazy. Very old hotel bed extremely uncomfortable. Tired and just not nice. The guy at reception was adamant that I was going to smoke in my room for some reason. No idea why I have no intention doing so. Neither do I smoke
It is very well located, near Central Station, and in walking distance of the main attractions, the only negative point is that there is a bar next to it, so it is a little bit noisy.
Great location in the heart of the oldest districts. Easy acess/walkable from train station and close to Viking's port. Clean, well appointed room. We found a jazz bar around the corner after dinner in the neighborhood.
Nice, helpful employees. Perfect for our one night stay before our cruise. Easy to find, middle of everything and very close to the port and train station.

Average stay, nothing to write home about
It looked better than it was on the pictures. A tad expensive for what it was.. Overall nice staff and convenient location
Hotel is very close to central station and that was the only advantage.
Hotel building is very old and outdated. Rooms are kind of renovated but very very small.

The Hotel France is in a convenient location, very walkable and close to the train station. Staff are very nice. Here goes my first bad review ever….for quite a high price, it is more average (at best) hostel in vibes than luxury hotel. It is very old, but there is no excuse for the very dirty carpeting in the entry way and mouldy shower curtain and shower as well as the sporadic room service. The laminate flooring in the room was also very worn and lifting up. The beds were not uncomfortable and clean, however. As Amsterdam is very expensive, I would pay more for a nicer hotel next time, or better yet spend much less at a beautiful airport hotel and take the train in daily if that is not too inconvenient.
Location is good BUT the guy at the from desk not very friendly neither helpful the rooms downstairs of the front desk are very noisy and when I told the guy he just light gassed me he is not a nice person
