Having stayed in Amsterdam a few times before, this was easily my favourite of the places I’ve stayed. Great central location, surprisingly spacious room, a warm and gracious host who will greet you when you arrive. On top of that, the bed was extremely comfy, with the room feeling more homely than you would expect from typical city hotels. Top stay!
The room is very clean and bed is comfortable. Location is 5 minutes walk from Amsterdam Centraal station so perfect location to easily arrive to. The Main Street is a few minutes walk and dam square less than 10 minutes. The communication was excellent throughout.
Wonderful stay at this house just steps from Centraal Station (super easy by train from the airport) and right in the middle of city centre Amsterdam. Every touch included to make you feel at home while exploring the city. Roomy and comfortable, warm welcome and easy to work with David. New tech laundry just around the corner along with oodles of food choices and major tourist sites. Quiet, super walkable, right on a canal with great people/boat watching right out the door.
Very well located and easy to get to walking from the Central train station. Very clean but its really a guesthouse not a hotel. At an older age climbing “dutch” stairs with luggage can be tricky. Definitely recommended.
Amazing host, great help with local knowledge or anything we needed. We were in a canal view room it had everything we needed. David was an exceptional host. Easy walk from Amsterdam Centraal.
Property located near train station, DAM square, and many restaurants and tourist attractions. Host David is very helpful and made our stay comfortable.
Excellent location- room was exactly what we were looking for, kettle for coffee/tea. Very close to station and walkable to cruise terminal also. A little attention required on the overhead light.
Fantastic location. Very spacious, clean and tidy. Perfect for a short break away. Great communication from David. Thank you for a lovely time. Will return! 😀
Wonderful clean spacious room. All amenities tea, coffee in great supply. All aspects have been thought about and provided. Wonderful and helpful host, David.
Good central location for walking around the city.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to other
The place was great. It was very convenient and we were able to walk to wherever we needed. The room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. I would say that if you’re a light sleeper this may not be the spot for you. You can definitely hear the owners above the room when they’re walking and coming down the stairs in the morning, but if that doesn’t bother you (didn’t bother us) it’s a great place to stay!
Really nice place to stay in the densest part of Amsterdam. It's a short walk from the main train station and to tram services, and there is an endless variety of bars and restaurants in easy reach. Be aware that this property is immediately adjacent to one of the red light sections of the city, so if you're traveling with children, they might be seeing some naughty things.
