Amistad Hotel Formerly: West End Hotel

(13 Ratings)
Somewhat gay hotel

A welcoming nine-room, part-gay-run establishment with a gay history going back to the 1970s under previous owner Herman, whose then-named West End Hotel offered the gay traveller a reliable, budget and basic experience. Under new ownership the hotel reopened in 2001, reinvented with modernised facilities and overseen by a dedicated and on-site team of four men. Current (straight) owner Klaas, who heads a part-gay team, upgraded the hotel with a radical makeover in early 2018. Two neighbouring a...

Very friendly staff

The hotel is typical for old Europe, not very big. We had a room with our own bathroom which always comes in handy when you don't get home from drinking til 4am!!! The staff at Amistad was great. Michael or Rick cooked some really good breakfasts for us (included with stay). It was walking distance to most everything and there were a few gay bars/clubs right on the same street. Go to Church Bar if you want to have fun (by fun I mean..sex). I don't know why they just don't call it a sex club! This was my third time to Amsterdam and my first stay at Amistad. Definitely recommend it...

Nothing special

This hotel is a pretty good walk (20+ minutes) from most of the gay nightlife. To try to overcome this deficiency, the staff suggests only one club, which happens to be only about 25 meters from the hotel. The shared bathrooms were not great (the toilet room had no heat, which was pretty miserable with the chill!). Neither my room nor my bathroom looked anything like the pictures on their website, but I was in the lowest room category. It was an OK place to sleep, but not worth any 'gay premium'.
