“Perfection”

There is a large possibility that this would be the nicest hotel you’ll ever go to. I mean the rooms are spectacular and just downright beautiful. And the location is just perfect!!! Right on a canal and a 2 minute walk to the Anne frank house and a 5 minute walk to the Dam Square. And the staff, believe me when I say that they are some of the kindest people I ever met. They were patient and helpful and all of the above. Insanely clean also, like spotless clean. But. Just a warning, DO NOT turn the shower to the hottest setting. I got a 1-2 degree burn on my shoulder because of how hot It was. But other than that it was great. Breakfast was great too!

“One of the best hotel experience we’ve ever had – flawless service when it mattered most”

We booked this hotel specifically for a King’s Day trip, and it ended up being one of the most memorable and genuinely exceptional stays we have ever had. The location alone would have sold it to us.

We booked this hotel specifically for a King’s Day trip, and it ended up being one of the most memorable and genuinely exceptional stays we have ever had. The location alone would have sold it to us. Right in the heart of Amsterdam’s Nine Streets, it puts you in the middle of everything – yet somehow feels completely calm and private. On King’s Day, that balance becomes priceless. Being able to step out into the energy, colour and chaos of the celebrations, then return to a peaceful, beautifully run hotel just moments away, made the whole experience. What really sets this place apart, though, is how it’s run. The hotel being reserved exclusively for guests meant it never felt crowded or overwhelming. You could dip in and out of the day exactly as you pleased. The garden deserves a special mention. It is unlike anything we have experienced in a city centre hotel. It feels like your own private square – elegant, quiet, with beautifully maintained landscaping, church bells gently in the background, and a heated outdoor space that made it comfortable all day. We were lucky with the weather and spent hours there. To have that kind of space, in that location, is incredibly rare. From the moment we arrived, the service was on another level – and Elysia, in particular, was exceptional. Her welcome was warm, calm and effortlessly professional, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. She has that rare ability to read guests perfectly – knowing when to step in, when to offer help, and doing so with genuine care and confidence. Being offered a private space to freshen up before our room was ready was such a thoughtful touch, but it was the way she handled everything – with poise, kindness and complete control – that really stood out. During our stay, something happened that could easily have ruined the trip – my mum was injured and needed to go to hospital. What followed is the reason I’m writing this review. Elysia and the wider team handled everything with such calmness, empathy and professionalism. In what was a stressful and uncertain moment for us, she was reassuring, organised and quietly supportive in a way that made a real difference. She took away so much of the pressure, and we felt genuinely looked after throughout. That kind of service is incredibly rare, and it is something we will not forget. That level of thoughtfulness continued throughout the stay. A handwritten note, flowers, chocolates, and a late check-out – none of it expected, all of it appreciated. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The rooms are beautiful – stylish, comfortable, and clearly designed with real attention to detail. The minibar was well stocked, but what really stood out was the WhatsApp concierge. Some hotels offer this now, but few do it properly. Here, it was exceptional – fast, responsive, genuinely helpful, and available whenever we needed it. It made everything effortless, from restaurant bookings to general recommendations. We have stayed in many of Amsterdam’s top hotels – the Conservatorium, Waldorf Astoria, The Dylan, Soho House, The Ned – and this was, without question, the best experience we have had. Not just because of the setting or the design, but because of the people and the way they made us feel. We will absolutely be returning next year for King’s Day, and there is no question where we will stay. Next time, just the two of us – and for longer.

“Amsterdam- Love at First Sight”

What a lovely experience! We stayed in a family canal suite and were blown away by the character, space, and charm.

What a lovely experience! We stayed in a family canal suite and were blown away by the character, space, and charm. We were welcomed with a fabulous chocolate raspberry cake, a bottle of champagne and a free round of the mini bar- I've traveled a lot and never had that final gift. What a perk for a high level room. Everything was clean. Housekeeping did a fabulous job. The location is awesome! Food in the little lunch garden restaurant was delicious. We did a private boat tour and our guide was hilarious and well informed. I would not hesitate to stay again! And now that my daughter has an interest in attending university here, I'm sure to be back. But that is how much she fell in love with the city- and the hotel did not hurt!!
