The hotel is very nice and the staff are very friendly and provide excellent service. Always very friendly. The rooms, at least the one we stayed in, was not very huge but was big enough that it was very comfortable. No A/C but that was not an issue even in 1st week of august. Nice breeze through the window and the street is extremely quiet. Location is perfect. A few minutes walk from all the designer shops, museums and central area, primarily the section with antique shops and art galleries. Also some extremely good restaurants right around the corner from the hotel. All in all a great little hotel in a fantastic location. Oh and has a resident cat who usually takes one of the chairs in the lounge as his. Doesn’t mind people giving him a rub or two either.

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.

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!
