Best hotel in Amsterdam

I first stayed here about 30 years ago when it was a budget hotel. Now it's much more fancy but still full of charm. Staff are pleasant and helpful.
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is amazing! Quiet, simple and accessible. We loved our stay so much! Bed and pillows were so comfy and great free tea and coffees! The park was a bonus for our last night, just grabbed food at the grocery AH and enjoyed the park.

Choose a more expensive room if you stay here as the basic room is not good
Teresa, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A rare and beautiful gem, this hotel is literally integrated into a huge and beautiful park as their back yard. There is convenient bike rental (at the hotel—expensive, or 1/2 block away using Donkey Republic). The interior is artfully designed and beautiful, with rotating artist selections throughout. The staff is extremely accommodating. Just a superb property I can only hope to visit yet again.

Good experience

Really good place to stay. Beautiful building, spacious, clean and very comfortable rooms. We just missed a couple of shelves for our clothes. Friendly service.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms were on different levels up very steep steps . We hated them and got moved to another room which was better
Deborah, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The outside area was absolutely spectacular, we had no idea that the property's garden is a park! The architecture was also really eye-catching, and the staff were super helpful. The only somewhat negative comment is that we didn't feel like the room was cleaned to as high a standard as the rest of the hotel was presented to, but otherwise the stay was perfect, thank you.
Nora, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

3 star service 5 star price

The hotel is located in a park relatively far from the city center. The staff wasn't helpful at all and the experience is definitely not in line with the price of the rooms. I'd recommend you to stay somewhere else in Amsterdam. It's cheaper, nicer and closer to everything.
Laszlo, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Below expectations
portia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The first impression was not great as the guy on reception was unhelpful and unfriendly. We stayed 2 nights and the staff at the restaurant on the first night were excellent. Unfortunately, the staff at the restaurant on the second night were disinterested in serving us and we had great difficulty getting our meal. The room was spacious and well equipped. We found the hotel to be very expensive for what you get. We found the hotel very difficult to navigate at first and a map would have been very useful when we checked in. This is not your average chain hotel.
Trudy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is shabby. Housekeeping was a joke - had to ask for shower gel to be replenished second day. Tea/coffee pods not replaced after first day. Left hair conditioner out to be replenished and empty bottle left in exactly same place. Night stands were dirty and sticky upon arrival and I had to clean marks off them myself!!!!
Karen, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

There was an off-putting odour in our room, the hallways had dishes left uncollected and room service trolleys with bedding/towels left out over weekend. Plus a lot of hassle at check-in with finding our Expedia reservation.
