After reading the great many positive reviews here, we decided to book for an overnight stay. When we arrived we found the location to be ideal, moments away from Dam Square, around the corner from the beautiful canal and tucked away enough to be private yet centrally located.
The hosts were very accommodating, and although we arrived very early, they kept our luggage whilst we explored the nearby shopping and prepared our room.
Our room had the traditional Dutch cupboard bed, and the the blue, white and red colour theme. The room itself is not huge, but exceptionally clean, uniquely decorated and has all the little things you would need including a dinner set in case you fancied some take away. The bed is the best thing, so cosy and cute, and so different from everywhere else, I think it made our stay!
The bathroom is spacious and clean, and although it is shared there was never anyone using it when we needed access. They provide towels and bathrobes which is perfect for dashing out of the bathroom in, or in our case leisurely strolling as our neighbours were nowhere to be seen.
The bed offered a great nights sleep and the breakfast the following morning was superb. The Last Crumb is the finest most vintage looking Dutch bakery/cafe I have been to. The breakfast was delicious and fresh, and better than a lot of beakfasts offered at more expensive hotels. Although you don't have a buffet, what they give you is of the highest quality, so taste is not spared to make way for choice. I would prefer less amounts of tasty food, than lots of nasty food anyday.
The room is approximately 2 minutes from Dam square and a host of restaurants and shops, inlcuding the rather tasty Cau, approximately 7 minutes from the red light district and coffee houses, and 10 minutes from China Town. The main fashion shops are 5 minutes away behind the C&A. Rembrandt Sqaure with it's night life and vast cafes is about 10-15 minutes walk. Anne Franks house is 15-20 minutes walk, but this is pleasant and through the pretty area to the west of the centre.
All in all, I would highly recommend this room, the location is excellent, the room is unique and the hosts are lovely and helpful. Many thanks for making our short stay so worthwhile and enjoyable.
