What a pleasant surprise!!!
I am truly mystified by the critical reviews of this hotel. My room was spacious, very well equipped, warm and clean. Both room service and housekeeping were excellent and prompt. All the staff were exceptionally helpful and went to great lengths to check that my return flight was not cancelled because of heavy snow in the UK before my departure. Breakfast is neither cheap nor expensive but fairly priced for the choice of the extensive range of breads, pastries, cereals, cold meats, cheese, and "full cooked English" (proper bacon, incidentally, not the usual frizzly scraps!) and compares well with Amsterdam's luxury hotels. It was significant that on my visit I found several people who were staying at a nearby hotel which was not so good had discovered the Port van Cleve breakfast and were eating there as non-residents and considered it excellent and good value for money. Reading some of the other reviews I find it amazing that they are referring to the same hotel which I stayed at. I happened to stay at Port van Cleve this time because my usual, much smaller Amsterdam hotel was fully booked. I am in no doubt which one I shall be returning to.
