I travel extensively and can not say what an exceptional experience this hotel stay was. From correspondence prior to the trip, to superb breakfast that should not be missed, all aspects are top self. Due to our sleep schedule, we passed on house keeping several days and their personable staff still brought us fresh linens and coffee each day. Each shift at the front desk was personable and offered reliable assistance. My trip was superb, not just because Amsterdam is a wonderful city, but the kindness, warmth, and friendliness made it memorable.

We had the most amazing stay. The staff could not have been more helpful. It was great being in a more residential area with a choice of cafes and restaurants, and just 15 minutes from the airport or centre. The blackout curtains and the resultant sleep was much appreciated. Also, I have never stayed in a hotel where we've had the do not disturb sign on and they've left a bag of clean towels, toilet roll, and refreshment refills for us. So thoughtful. Even the free apples were extra yummy. We will be back

Adorable boutique hotel. Note that the elevator is very tiny (fits 1 person with a suitcase) and rooms are small, but comfortable for a solo traveler. Gorgeous bar and patio. Area is residential and quiet, but close to shops and transit. Bed was superb, and staff could not have been nicer.

This hotel is in a posh, green, and quiet neighbourhood. The nearest tram is a short walk and or we could easily walk to the city core. Our room was clean and we had a window we could open to get fresh air. The staff were welcoming and extremely helpful for booking attractions and providing information about their city.

A Charming Historic Hotel with Exceptional Service We loved our stay at this beautiful 100+ year-old hotel. The building is full of character and charm, with elegant details that reflect its rich history. The staff were outstanding—warm, professional, and always ready to help. The garden is a hidden oasis: lush, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. A truly special place that combines history, hospitality, and beauty. Highly recommend!
