Matay and Romke’s place is very special. If you want the feeling of staying in an old historic grand hotel, this is the place to be. But with a difference. The beautiful old building, the personal touches, the quiet and clean space, the location along the canal and the kindness of the owners, all make this space extra special. It is within walking distance to some of the best restaurants, cafes and boutiques in Amsterdam. Close to all the tourist areas, yet in a quieter residential stretch of Keisergracht. We were welcomed by Matay and made to feel at home straight away. He provided us with tips about the Jordaan area and personally showed us around our private space. Everything we needed for our five days was there. There is no kitchen, but a small refrigerator and coffee and tea making facilities which is all we needed.
At the end of a busy day of sight seeing, it was nice to come back to the house, sit on the front steps with a glass of wine and watch the activity on the canal. Just like the locals do. I would highly recommend Matay and Romke’s accommodation.
