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've booked directly via Hotel Casa, you can cancel up to 24 hours after making the booking. Do you want to cancel after 24 hours? Check which rate type you've booked. Rate type "NONREF" can't be cancelled after 24 hours without charge. Rate type "BAR" can be cancelled or changed up to 24 hours before the official check-in time (15:00 hours). You can do this via the link in your confirmation e-mail, or by contacting us via reservations@hotelcasa.nl. If you haven't booked directly via Hotel Casa, check the cancellation conditions of the organisation where you made the 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. After making the reservation, it's no longer possible to cancel or change it.

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

No, the maximum number is 3 persons (for a triple room) You can book two separate rooms for 4-person reservations. If available, we can reserve two adjoining rooms with a dividing door to connect them. Contact our reservations department reservations@hotelcasa.nl to arrange this option.

Yes, cots are available. They are for children up to about 3 years. Need a cot? Notify us when you make the reservation.

Payment

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

Everyone who stays in a hotel in Amsterdam and who doesn't live in Amsterdam pays tourist tax to the municipality. For 2020, the tourist tax is 7% of the room price + €3 per person per night. Young people under 16 years are not taxed. The tourist tax is included when you pay the total room price.

I need an invoice. How do I get one?

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept all worldwide-valid credit cards. You can also pay with a debit card and cash card in the hotel. We don't accept cash for security reasons.

In the room

What are the extra bed options?

Unfortunately, due to fire safety regulations, we do not place extra beds in our rooms. Book one of our triple rooms if you want to stay with 3 people in a room.

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?

On the 2nd floor you will find our ironing room. Take the elevator on the side of our coffee bar to the 2nd floor and turn left. At the end of the corridor, to the left again, you will find the ironing facilities next to the microwave.
