I booked this Hotel on my accounts for my Son for Kings Day and a kings night club event. He spent two nights here and slept over well. He absolutely loved the Horel, the lovely room on two levels and the whole excellent experience in a really nice part of Amsterdam which has easy transport links to the City Centre. Will stay again for sure. Highly recommend this Hotel .

Our bathroom had a strong sewer smell all the time (even after letting them know), and that was definitely uncomfortable. Also, outside of the room, you could feel the same smell in some hallways.
The building is very beautiful and has a great location. The breakfast was delicious.

“Beautiful City - Amazing Hotel - Will be back”
- • Leisure trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
Really small issue but with the loft bed, and our huge bags, (coming from australia for 5 weeks) we couldn't take our stuff up the small staircase and there wasnt a huge amount of space for our bags on the lower level.
Brilliant hotel conversion in an old orphanage with a church. Beautiful creative rooms. Our bedroom was a loft above the main part of the room. Comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic to us at the restaurants and around the hotel. I felt really bad for the restaurant staff when Ajax lost a big soccer game during our stay as they all seemed like huge soccer fans. The soccer game played in the church was great fun despite a bad result. It is situated right on a really nice park to walk through before you get to the tram or the metro to explore Amsterdam. One of my favourite hotels in one of my new favourite cities.

The breakfast was a nice buffet of hot and cold breakfast. The staff was great and answered all questions. They would quickly address any problems. The use of the phone (Handy) was a fantastic service to provide their costumers. It helped with getting around and made traveling around the city a lot easier. I would definitely stay there again!

No water in the fridge. Very small and cold room (although indicated 22.kv. m.). Air conditioner blows cold air. The voltage in the sockets is so small that the female iron did not work sometimes. Nо shovel for shoes, slippers. Hair dryer only works when you press a button. There is only shower gel. The hotel saves on elementary things. Very strange for me like that
excellent location in the park. Excellent and tasty breakfasts.

Needs a refreshment, dirty even after cleaning, dust and hair on the floors and shelves. From cosmetics -only body/hair shampoo, nothing like body lotion. Bad was on the 2nd floor and there was no air even when the window on the 1st floor was open. Bathroom on the 1st floor with transparent glass walls, so zero privacy in the bathroom/toilet.
Bed was big and quite comfortable
