Reservations

How do I make a reservation?

That’s really easy. Scroll up this page and click ‘BOOK A ROOM’ at the top right-hand corner. Easy peasy! Just follow the instructions. Any more questions? E-mail us at reserveringen@hotelcasa.nl.

How do I cancel or change a reservation?

If you booked directly through Hotel Casa, you can cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. After 24 hours, the ability to cancel depends on your rate type.

 

  • If you have a “NONREF” rate, it cannot be canceled without a charge after 24 hours.

  • If you have a “BAR” rate, you can cancel or change your reservation up to 24 hours before the official check-in time (which is 3:00 PM). You can do this via the link in your confirmation email or by contacting us at reservations@hotelcasa.nl.

 

If you didn’t book directly through Hotel Casa, please check the cancellation policy of the organization where you made your booking.”

What is the difference between a flexible and a non-flexible rate?

We have two different types of reservations:

  • Flexible rate: this means you can cancel or change your reservation up to 24 hours before your official check-in time.

  • Non-flexible rate: this reservation can only be made with a credit card. This way, the total amount is deducted from your credit card at the moment of reservation. You can request a date change up to 7 days before their original check-in date. Please note that if the new dates are more expensive, you will be required to pay the difference.

Can I make a reservation for 4 persons in one room?

Our maximum occupancy is 3 persons for a triple room. If you have a 4-person reservation, you can book two separate rooms. If they are available, we can also arrange for two adjoining rooms with a connecting door. Please reach out to our reservations department at reservations@hotelcasa.nl to explore this option.

Does the hotel have cots for babies?

Yes, we offer cots for children up to approximately 3 years old. If you need a cot, kindly inform us during the reservation process.

Payment

What is the tourist tax and when do I pay it?

If you’re staying in a hotel in Amsterdam and you don’t live in Amsterdam, you’ll be required to pay a tourist tax to the city. In 2020, this tax amounted to 7% of the room price (included in the room price) plus an additional €3 per person per night (people under 16 years old are exempt from this additional fee).

I need an invoice. How do I get one?

Did you make a reservation directly through Hotel Casa? If so, you will receive an invoice upon checking out from the hotel. If you haven’t received an invoice, please send an email to reservations@hotelcasa.nl with your reservation details, and they will assist you further. If you made a reservation through another organization, kindly request your invoice from them.

Do I have to give out my credit card information?

Yes, for each booking, we require your credit card information as a guarantee. Normally, the credit card is charged one day before your reservation, unless you have already made payment during the booking process.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept all internationally recognized credit cards. Additionally, you can make payments using a debit card or a cash card at the hotel. Please note that for security reasons, we do not accept cash payments.

In the room

What are the extra bed options?

Regrettably, we are unable to provide additional beds in our rooms due to fire safety regulations. If you plan to stay with three people in a room, we recommend booking one of our triple rooms.

Are the rooms air-conditioned?

Because the Netherlands does not experience long periods of extreme heat, many buildings choose not to install environmentally polluting air conditioners. This also applies to Hotel Casa. Therefore, Hotel Casa’s rooms do not have air conditioning.

The hotel building is equipped with an automatic climate control system that maintains the overall temperature and air quality. Through this system, the temperature in the hotel room can be adjusted by about 2 degrees.

The temperature controller has 2 settings; one for heating and one for cooling. Slide the controller to the snowflake icon and turn the knob to blue to cool the room. Do you want to heat the room slightly? Then slide the controller to the heat waves icon and turn the knob to red.

Is it still really too hot or too cold in the room? Then fortunately we always have a number of mobile fans and heaters available. To do this, call our colleagues at reception by dialling ‘9’ from the landline in the room. They will be happy to bring these to you!

What facilities are supplied in the rooms?

Each room is equipped with a:

  • hair-dryer
  • kettle
  • coffee machine
  • wardrobe
  • TV
  • desk
  • safe
  • mini-bar that you can fill yourself

Naturally, we supply fine bedlinen, towels and toiletry articles for use during your stay.

Can I iron my clothes?

Yes you can! We’ve set up an ironing area on the second floor of the hotel. Just take the elevator near the coffee bar, and when you step out on the 2nd floor, you’ll find the ironing facilities to your left
