Fantastic place to stay. Plenty of room. Safe and handy.

Nicolet was very helpful and accommodating at check-in and check-out. The whole process went extremely smoothly.

The location is very convenient for trips to the Hermitage, Red Light District, Flower Market, Rijksmuseum, Dam square etc. etc.

Having stayed in Amsterdam many times, I would say that this is about the best place I've stayed in terms of local charm/street noise/convenience etc. Perfect for a family or for people who want to be near everything but not slap bang in the central "hustle bustle streets" between Dam Square and OudeKerk. In fact, the location is much better than that of many so-called luxury hotels.

There are a number of supermarkets nearby (we used the Albert Heijn at Nieuwmarkt - 8 mins away), and plenty of cafes and bars to provide whatever sustenance is required after a long day's walking around the beautiful city. The very next street - Staalstraat - has a nice chocolate shop, deli and a bar etc. Very picturesque.

We had solid wi-fi (perfect to occupy the kids) and the range of cutlery and kitchen equipment was more than adequate to allow us to cook up some great meals in the evenings. Necessities like sugar, salt, oil and tea/coffee were there which meant that we only needed to buy the raw materials and not all sundry condiments when cooking.

We would stay there again without hesitation.
