Would definitely stay here again!

This place was amazing! We loved the staff as they were always so kind and helpful for any of our needs including recommendations for the city, hotel service, etc. It was such a cute place in a really great area close to the museums and it wasn’t a far walk to the rest of the city. The rooms themselves were perfect and comfortable with a nice shower. Perfect for two young women exploring Amsterdam!

Short and sweet stay at the owl hotel

Lovely staff (Jessica and Samuel) , great location, very clean, rooms service/linens changed daily. Room had a portable fan which is good as the room had no built in fan/aircon (this might be normal in Europe I’m not sure) Rooms were comfortable enough however no fridge and not soundproof so you can hear your neighbouring guests which can sometimes be a bother if you’re a light sleeper. Wasn’t really a problem for me. They offer breakfast and also have a cute hotel cat :) For me personally I need a fridge in the room, dining out is quite expensive in Amsterdam so a fridge is good for if you don’t want to dine out. Another thing is they hold your room card every time you leave which is kinda weird but I guess they want to make sure there are no unknown guests or unwanted parties because of this they do have 24 hour reception. If you don’t mind not having a fridge or a little noise then this is an awesome place to stay

A Hidden Gem

The patio of this hotel is an absolutely wonderful retreat in the midst of the city. The public spaces are comfortable and welcoming. The rooms are small but adequate. I would definitely stay here again.

Really lovely and clean! A bit small but if you are traveling alone it’s totally comfortable. The walls are a bit thin so bring ear plugs!

I really liked this hotel. Some might call it dated, but I found it to be charming. My room was always clean and I was provided with fresh linens. The breakfast provided was accommodating to my dietary needs. The location was excellent for me. Perfect location for museum trips and close enough walk to the city center. This is also right near a beautiful park. The hotel also has an adorable cat who seems to live the dream in their lobby area. I would definitely return!

We stayed on the 4th floor - it was a nice surprise that they had an elevator! Room was equipped with a fan (a necessity in Europe). Overall nice hotel in a great part of the city.

Staff great and helpful. Quaint hotel, great location. Old structure though. Power outlets in short supply, had to unplug lamp or tv to use one. No place to hang things in bathroom. Mattress was well worn on one side of bed. Despite some shortcomings, a good stay.
