Guests appreciated the fabulous views from the balconies and the cozy ambiance within select rooms. Many found the beds to be reasonably comfortable and the hot showers were a refreshing relief after a day of exploring Amsterdam.
However, the praise is tempered by several concerns. The consistent feedback highlights that the rooms are significantly smaller than portrayed in online photos, often described as tiny and cramped.

Soundproofing was insufficient, leading to disturbances from outside noise. Maintenance issues such as leaking sinks, broken showerheads and malfunctioning windows were commonly reported.

While a stay at Di-Ann City Centre Hotel might be bearable for very undemanding travelers, the overall feedback indicates a need for substantial improvements.

The Di-Ann City Centre Hotel has received overwhelmingly negative feedback regarding its cleanliness, which has been a major concern for many guests. While there are occasional mentions of tidy rooms, clean towels and spotless bathrooms, these positive notes are scarce. The majority of reviews highlight a myriad of issues, including dusty surfaces, dirty bedding and unsanitary conditions, such as visible mold, stained linens and hair on bed sheets. The hygiene levels are generally poor across different areas of the hotel, including guest rooms, bathrooms and common spaces like hallways and staircases.

Housekeeping appears inconsistent with numerous reports of rooms not being cleaned properly, dirty bathrooms and rubbish from previous guests being left behind.

Overall, the feedback suggests that the hotel's cleanliness is far below acceptable standards with many guests indicating disappointment and dissatisfaction with the sanitary conditions during their stay.

However, many guests encountered significant issues with the WiFi, stating that it did not reach their rooms or specific spots within their rooms. Complaints included poor connectivity, restricted internet access, blocked VPNs and Google domain DNS and in some cases, the absence of WiFi altogether. Notably, several reviews highlighted that the WiFi on the second floor worked poorly or not at all, leading to frustration.
