Hotel Adolesce  

Hotel actually matched my expectation - exactly how was described in the site. Location is not exactly in the center of the city but quite close so this was no issue. Stops are very close and you either can walk or take a train. I'd not even prefer to stay in noisy center. Owner is very nice person. And one more thing (actually - two) - he has two birman cats - they were just wonderful. And in the morning you hear the singing of the birds in the garden (at least from my room) which is amazing. Very quiet place which is good after tiring activities in the city. Coffee, food is available all day so you can have a small snack in midday time if you want to have a 1-2 hours rest between city activities.

Steers are very steep so this can be problem for old/disable people. Generally in most duch houses steers are so - it is to save a space . So this does not say something particularly bad for this hotel but just you need to be aware. As for me - it was just interesting experience to climb on them.

Location of the hotel was great and the room was spacious. We also liked the possibility to eat breakfast/snacks anytime you want. The hotel's cats were lovely.

It was a bit cold in the room.

A nice house on a newer gracht with a pleasant dining-room where self-service breakfast is available anytime and bar service if you ring. Individual atmosphere. Clean and cozy. No-drugs policy sign-posted. On the 3 to 5 minutes walk to the tram station Waterlooplein you pass the entrance of the dependency of the Ermitage Museum, the metro station Waterlooplein is also 3 to 5 minutes walking away but another way. Night buses stop on Waterlooplein, too.

Do not expect the standards from hotel chains. I needed an invoice, it came hand-written on notice-paper with a rubber-stamp (enough for my tax office, but if you are on a business-trip you might need it more formal).

friendly owner...very quiet and peaceful...relaxed ...felt like staying in someone's house ... help yourself coffee all day

vertical staircase! (no lift)

The relaxed atmosphere and the genial, accommodating nature of the proprietor. Its convenient position for many of the main cultural attractions, and the fact that although the hotel claimed not to do breakfast, you could in fact make yourself a more than adequate one from the wide range of foods and drinks available.

Only that the very steep nature of the stairs would make it hazardous for people who were not as agile as us.

a relaxing and comfortable stay, the self service option during the day is a brilliant scheme and good if you go out and need refreshments on return, situated by the canal so as soon as you go out your truly in holland, would recommend to anyone

Clean, nice & cosy room, friendly manager, relaxed atmosphere, free breakfast buffet & coffee, free internet + printer, beautiful house near one of the typical canals of Amsterdam

24 hr Buffet is excellent!! Hotel Staff very friendly and helpful, The owner makes a nice cake if your lucky. Location is good about 10 mins walk from Dam square. Room was spacious and the facilities very good. When i return to Amsterdam this is the hotel i'll use from now on.

Loved this place! Staff helpful and very friendly. Great location, clean & warm.Spacious rooms. Open kitchen with free snacks available 24 hours.Comfy dining area. Highly reccomended. Book early to avoid disappointment. Free WIFI Access. 10/10. One word of warning: Only use the registered Taxis from the airport. We were guided to a taxi with no plate and charged double fare to city centre. Stand at Offical Taxi rank and dont be persuaded to another car !!

The hotel was in a great location. A quiet canal, but still close enough to transportation and the busier stuff. Was nice to get away from everything while still being close by. The owner was as friendly as any I have encountered. Made everyone feel welcome. The room we had was amazing. Fairly simple in furnishings, but roomy and wall to wall windows with a view overlooking the canal. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Nothing much that I can think of. I loved the steep stairs at the entry to access the rooms, but for some not accustomed to how Amsterdam will be if you are visiting the way many live, it may be a bit daunting.

Location excellent. Owner very nice. Will write more later as we are still traveling.

24 hour snack and coffee; close to city centre and public transportation, convenience

the stairs
