This place has the friendliest staff. Would hear the reception singing in the morning, great vibe! The room was great , exactly as described in the booking .Great location, 2 minutes from the metro, beautiful parks to drink your morning coffee. A botanical garden right outside the hotel.

i like that there is a sink in each room & how close it was to a tram station that has a train connecting to the central station/ center of the city

Janice Spain

It was clean and comfortable. Not far from the Centraal station, in a nice neighborhood. The common areas were really nice and the staff was the best. We were on the 1st floor, there was one shower and one toilet shared with 4-5 rooms, they were surprisingly clean.

Santiago Spain

really comfortable bed, everything was super clean, very quiet. I’m happy I booked here

Janine Canada

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. At arrival they showed us all facilities, as well as providing all necessary info on the current pandemic rules. Our own room as well as the shared toilets were clean and sanitary at all times. The little "garden" within the hotel has several heaters and blankets available.

  • How to arrive from schiphol directly to Hotel after midnight?
    To get to Amsterdam Central Station from Schiphol, take the train (they run approx every 15 minutes) direct to Central Station. The trains are located down the escalator inside the Airport. The price for a train ticket is EUR 4,30 one way. To get to the hotel from Central Station, take tram 14. The price for a tram ticket is EUR 3,00. Get off the tram at the Artis Zoo / Plantage Kerklaan stop. Cross the street and turn right, walking back in the direction you just came from with the tram. Turn left on the first street, which is our street, Plantage Parklaan. We are number 8 on the left side, directly across the street from the Hortus Botanical Gardens. You can also take any metro from Central Station and get out at the second stop, Waterlooplein. Exit the metro and turn right following the sign Nieuwe Herengracht. At the exit turn right. Walk along this street until you see a a small park. Turn left on this street, Plantage Parklaan. We are on the right side of the street at Plantage Parklaan 8. Taxi prices range from EUR 37 - EUR 60,00.
