Owl Hotel  

Great location, just outside the main hubbub of the city but within easy walking distance of just about everywhere. You can get the 197 bus to and from the airport from 200 metres from the hotel, and the fare is only 4 euros. There is a quiet, sunny, back garden and a very reasonably priced bar. Reception is attended 24 hours and all the staff were very friendly. The rooms are possibly a little old-fashioned for some tastes and there are no tea/coffee facilities. This was my second visit and we would stay at the owl again.

The location of this hotel is unbeatable as it is very near Leidseplein but placed on a quiet, peaceful street. I stayed in a good sized single bedroom on the first floor with a suprisingly large bathrooom. The room and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Altough I would prefer having free wifi in the room, the hotel has a computer for the use of guests . The right word to describe the breakfast is ''adequate''; very simple European style breakfast but everything served was fresh and of good quality. This hotel has a great little garden, summer time guests would surely enjoy. I didn't use the safe in my room, but it is good to have one. In general, the staff of this hotel was ok with some being very friendly and some not; but all very kind.

There is a cat, sometimes wandering around the breakfast room. Altough it is a cutie, it might be a challenge for hygiene and allergies. There is no free wifi in the rooms, that's always a negative point. The room was not very warm and the bath towels were rather small. That wardrobe has plenty of hanging space for clothes but still needs some shelves.

The staff were very friendly and helpful - all spoke good English. The room was bright, big enough and very clean. Great location - close to cafe's, trams and canals. Breakfast very good and plentiful.

Would have liked tea & coffee facilities in room or available in dining room during the day - for when you come back after sightseeing for a break before going out again for dinner.

The Owl Hotel was quite convenient to shops and buses. It was in a good area of Amsterdam. The hotel was also handy to the museum. The staff spoke English which was a great help to us. All in all we enjoyed our stay there.

I do not think there was anything we did not like about the Owl Hotel.

The Owl Hotel is a very nice clean hotel,the rooms are a good size,the breakfast is continental and was very good, situated in a nice quiet area not far from Vondel Park and the Leidesplien Square were you will find plenty of shops, bars,restaurants their are also several Museums nearby and the Heineken Brewery! It also very easy to get around with excellent Tram system or the many Canal Tours. Overall i enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it

Very courteous staff. Clean as a whistle. It has a small elevator so you don't have to struggle with steep narrow steps. The location is terrific as it is close to major museums, the trams and Leidesplein which has one restaurant for every citizen of Holland! Front desk was very helpful with directions and ordering transportation. Breakfasts were classic dutch: bread, cereal, OJ, 3 kinds of cold-cuts and three kinds of cheese, as well as apples, banana's, and assorted jams, coffee, and even a chocolate spread.. While not a hot breakfast, a very filling one. Caters to an older crowd, so it is quiet as is the neighborhood.

There was nothing not to like.

The hotel is extremely close to Leidseplein, 15-20 minutes walking to the Dam Square and extremely convenient to reach from the airport with bus 197. Also, one can find lots of different restaurants nearby that cater for all tastes. My single room was very cosy, clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was so nice and Disney, the hotel's cat, is one amazing character! The breakfast was very good as well. I would totally recommend this hotel.

We received a friendly and efficient welcome when we checked into the hotel and our rooms were ready for us. These were clean and comfortable and overlooked the garden.There was a good buffet breakfast. The location of the hotel is very convenient especially for the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum and Leidesplein for cafes and restaurants but the city centre is also within walking distance and a park.

Room did not seem well sound proofed so could be disturbed by noisy neighbour!

Well located near to tourist area but away from traffic -pleasant area. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to be helpful and the buffet breakfast was a really nice way to start the day

Nice location, Close to city centre and easily to travel around by walk.

The hotel is located on a quite street in Museum area. You can reach the hotel from Airport with bus 197 for 4Euro rather than 40Euro for taxi. Take the bus at airport at bus stop b11 outside airport exit to the right The trip from airport is app 25 minutes. Get off at stop "Leidseplein " and walk toward Mariott Hotel for 3-4 minutes . Walk on the left alley and in 3-4 minutes you will find the Hotel facing Best Western. I booked a single room which was small app 90-100sqft. The bathroom was full size clean and modern. The breakfast had reasonable selection including boiled eggs, 3-4 kinds of bread to toast, juices, fruits ,yogurts,etc . I was happy that they had very good capuccino. The Hotel is located at 10-15 minutes walk from Van Gough and Rijik Museum and 25 minutes walk to Central Station and Red Light District.

I had some trouble to figure out how to use the safety box.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were good and the price was reasonable. The hotel is in a peaceful side street that is still close enough to night life and tram stops. We would definately stay there again and also recommend the hotel to our friends.
