Hidden gem. Beautifully refurbished hotel on the river Amstel. Near a tram stop to take you everywhere or it’s a 20 min walk to most attractions.

Had a great 3-night stay at If Boutique Hotel. The elevator was convenient. The AC worked well and the property was clean. Wish there were more storage spaces in the room and a shelf to place toiletries in the bathroom, but those were not big deal for us. It's an easy and convenient walk to Albert Cuyp Market and just a 2 minute walk to a small grocery store for necessities. Would stay again!

Nice clean hotel but no staff ever seen through out our stay although we did return each day to find a nicely cleaned and tidied room. No reception staff at any time we were there and the automatic room key entry system is inconvenient and tricky. Location is a little too far out for most tourists requirements although not far to main tram stops.

Rooms are nicely decorated and modern. In a very quiet neighborhood. Moderate walk to all desirable locations. Very safe. Only issue, was that we chose the smallest room and it was small. Really enjoyed our stay.

Very walkable to most main attractions while being far enough to be on a quiet street. Room are decent size ; bed is comfortable. No AC. Place is secure and quiet. We really enjoyed the quiet backyard at the end of the day. Coffee machine is nice. Service is not very friendly or on time but we didn’t need them much.

The good: Room is nice, clean and spacious. The bad: 1. The location is pinned at a completely different area on Expedia, very misleading and adds a 20-min walk to destinations I wanted to go. Also made me concerned about the legitimacy before arriving. 2. The web key system is quite annoying - I don’t have data on my phone so every evening it’s a struggle trying to connect to WiFi from outside the building. 3. The secondary lock for my door doesn’t work - the lock and the hole in the wall don’t match. Made me a bit nervous about safety. Overall, not a terrible experience but would not stay here again.

I stayed here for a solo trip and felt so safe! The room was gorgeous, especially the windows. Everything was clean and quiet. The owners are very sweet and make sure you’re informed on how to work certain functions in the room. It was incredibly safe and such a good location. I definitely recommend the double canal room. It was magical!
Windows were my favorite part.
