A mixed experience
This is a small, quiet and comfortable hotel. The staff, if you can find them, are friendly. The location is very good, it’s a lovely neighbourhood with some good restaurants. My concerns are that it isn’t easy to find, and there is no obvious signage. The reception is only part-time, and I was really taken aback that it wasn’t open for a 9am checkout on my last day, which was so inconvenient. I’ve been told that British people have a reputation in the hotel trade for complaining, but I rarely do. However, this hotel needs to sort out signage, branding and customer care! They don’t even have notices telling you when to expect the reception to be open. A real mixed bag of an experience, which is a shame because the rooms are clean and comfortable. Be forewarned.

Strange hotel probably once a residence and redeveloped into hotel rooms. The hotel went by three different names: Il Golfo, Hotel Fossa, and the name listed near the door. It seemed like a scam at first but was actually legit. However, the price I paid wasn't worth what I got. I thought $148 was a lot but add another $30 for taxes. Needless to say, but never again.

Seems to be under new owners? Hotel has three different names and no way to contact any of them. Ignored emails as well. But it is a great location and hopefully these issues will be resolved soon.

We did not like the fact that there were no reception staff at the facility between 6pm and 8am. There was not even morning coffee available (2 packets of instant coffee were never replenished during our 3 night stay). There was a bar and breakfast area but no service. The daytime staff who were there were very friendly and helpful but we would not recommend this "hotel"

Sleepless in Amsterdam
The air conditioning in this room was non existent. I complained and they said is would be fixed the next day. It was never fixed. I couldn’t open the windows at night because the busy bar on the corner was going until 2:30 am in the morning. The twin beds at some kind of mattress that caused one to slide off the side unless you stayed perfectly cantered on your back and the bed was too short. I got no sleep the three nights I stayed. I asked for another room but there wasn’t one. The girl that worked the day of the 21st was pleasant, sympathetic and helpful with information. My dinner in the restaurant was very good. Eat there but don’t sleep there.

When you stay here, you immediately feel like family! The staff is fantastic! Friendly, can answer any question, and give excellent directions to any place you may want to visit or eat, including how/where to get an appointment for Covid tests for travel. The on-site Italian restaruant is excellent, both inside and outdoor dining. Our room was immaculate and exactly as described. You cannot go wrong with this establishment. If Hotel II Fiore is fully booked when I want to visit Amsterdam, I will change my travel date until a room here is available.
