Hotel Cafe Modern is a great space in hip, industrial North Amsterdam. It's incredibly easy to get to from the Central Station (just hop on the free 24/7 ferry), and is in close proximity to a number of wonderful restaurants and cafes (Cafe De Pont, Il Pecornio), as well as the Movie Museum and the A'Dam Lookout.
Check-in was easy, and Eelco very kindly assisted with our luggage and all of our many questions. He also organised extra pillows for us upon request.
The accommodation itself is both clean and stylish, decked out with an eclectic array of vintage trinkets. The bathroom was large and modern. Overall, one could say that the decor of the rooms reflected the vibe of the general area, and that was really to our taste.
Toiletries and coffee/tea facilities are provided, and there was a small fridge in our room, which certainly came in handy. Guests also have use of a communal kitchen.
The restaurant/bar occupying the same building is open late, but the vibe is relaxed and there isn't a lot of noise (although there is a bit of construction in the area). There aren't very many rooms either, so the hotel itself is certainly quiet.
Thank you for an absolutely brilliant stay in Amsterdam! I hope we'll be back.
(Just a quick note about accessibility - the accommodation is located up a couple of flights of narrow stairs, so this could prove difficult for anyone with limited mobility.)
