It can get busy and I don't like how the check out lines work in this store. Pick a line and you may be out of luck with a slow person in front of you. The manager also made me delete photos I took inside the store one time. Lol

After recently relocating to the NL, I was pretty disappointed when visiting Hema as I heard that…read moreit was one of the best options for household staples. The workers were all friendly, and the prices were decent, but still more expensive than IKEA or Amazon. Their selection was very limited and picked-through, too. It might've just been this location specifically, but overall, pretty disappointing. I probably won't return. Just an FYI, no dogs allowed! There is a sign on the door, but it can be easy to accidentally overlook.

I love the HEMA it's kinda like Target in the US but on a smaller scale. They have everything from…read moremake-up to some basic clothing, photo development, bike supplies, art and back to school items, etc. The most exciting thing about this location is they sell food! Not just hot dogs like all the other ones do, but actual groceries! I bought pasta sauce, bananas, oranges and cookies here today. Crazy. Maybe they all carry groceries now, and I just haven't been here in years which is true, but this was an exciting addition. The HEMA and the Blokker are go to spots for 'stuff' that you need.

Great Hema winkle in the Station Amsterdam Centraal. It's not small by any means but smaller than a…read morelot of their other locations. But the selection is close to what you'd find down on Kalverstraat or de Kinkerstraat. Most of the staff appears to be laboring away at that food area near the front window. People do line up to buy that stuff. It does look good! So I guess if and when I'm traveling in a hurry and want something prepared, I'll go there. The Hema person working there smiled at me today when I was shopping, looking at the fresh bread selection. I had my face mask on and even though I smiled back, not sure if she saw it. I think she did. Nice place. One of the flagship stores at Centraal station. I'm so glad it's open again!

I guess the best analogy I can make of Hema to any store in the US would be that it is similar to a…read moreTarget. They are all over the city, super convenient and carry items of utility for low prices (well by European standards). After coming from the other side of the Equator (and clearly not well prepared for the brutal Dutch wind), my fingers were about to fall off from frostbite. I came in here desperately seeking warmth and shelter from the snow and wind. Oh yea, I needed gloves too. I found a nice pair of fleece gloves for 7 Euros. Hey, not too bad. They kept me warm the whole time I was in A'stam and now I have them safely stowed away in my luggage, ready for another use and hopefully in back in the land of Hema :-)

Yes!! This place was my bread, jam & peanut butter!…read more I always like to get souvenirs that are usable for everyday life. Like some nice clothes or yummy foods, etc. This place had everything I needed and more. I bought my son some super cute pants and shirts for only 12 euro. He still wears them and they're adorable. I also found some great candies and nail polishes to take home to my friends and family. Definitely stop here before you head home! Apparently, a lot of the Hema's have a food vendor on site that sells a very popular (with the locals) sausage. I had one on a food tour and it was pretty yumtastic! But don't forget the mustard.

I absolutely love the HEMA, I could spend forever in here. Whenever I come to Europe this is one of…read morethe places I want to go to! You can pretty much find everything here and lots of fun Dutch treats and such (even in Paris).

This is a very nice Hema in Utrecht. In the centrum right on the canal. It has two floors with…read moreescalators but not cramped at all. Most Hema's are large and very open space but this one takes it a step further. Doors in the front and back are a nice feature as well...plus with better ventilation. Hot food and drinks. Lots of wine and beer (to go) too! What's not to like. They had every kind of stroopwafel I didn't even know existed! Lots of candies and cakes too. Lekker! They do have everything from bike parts to socks as well. Of course things are a bit different during Corona times, but let's hope Hema keeps these big stores in expensive areas open. Worth checking out when you're right in the center and a 10 minute walk from the train station (through the mall).

For people from the US-- the VAT department is located on the Fourth Floor towards the back. Also, the bathroom is located on the fifth floor, along with a cafe. I would definitely say this place is worth a visit while in Amsterdam.

Oh my gosh, what is not to love about this place. I love discovering new places when I'm in…read moreforeign countries, and this is one I kept wanting to go back to the whole time we were in Amsterdam! I swear, it's just a huge department type store, but again, there's just something about the newness of it to me that made it so great. For those of you from the states, to me, it reminded me a bit of a mix between a Target and a major department store. A bit of everything at affordable prices. We stopped in here a few times for a few things we needed on our trip and even once for a snack. I am a huge lover of smoked meats and cheese, so when we saw that we could get their famous smoked sausage on a roll for £2 and an ice cream sundae for £1 we were all about it and quite happy for it. One thing I miss living in the UK are smoked meats and sausages. Proper smoked meats and sausages. This really hit the spot. I was really tempted to buy stuff to bring back for my home in Glasgow, but figured it would be a pain to drag everything back when I could just get stuff once I got home if I wanted. Instead, I bought a really cool green ink pen for uni, some stroop waffles for the boyfriend and some candles for a birthday we were celebrating while in Amsterdam! Definitly a fan of Hema and will shop here again if ever given the chance!

The HEMA is absolutely famous in Holland. In the cities you can find one at every corner of the…read morestreet, and every village has one as well. The Hema is not only a warehouse, its more.. It is a customer-friendly store with an unique profile. HEMA distinguishes itself from other retailers by selling its own brand. Every day, week and/or month you can find new offers on products for daily use, all with its own assortment. HEMA products are convenient, practical, attractive and of good quality. It even got to a point that HEMA became a fashion icon, with Dutch celebrities starting to wear basic t-shirts with nothing but the red HEMA line on it.. While living abroad, the HEMA is definitely absent in the German streets..How can people live without it??!! Im sure the Dutch cant... It will fit perfectly.. with Germany being famous for the Wurst...Well, at the HEMA we sell the famous `Rookworst`!
