Spinoza Suites
I honestly don’t know whether I should write a glowing review, because if we ever return to Amsterdam, this place will definitely be fully booked. From booking to check-out, everything ran perfectly thanks to Patrick—what an incredibly warm and thoughtful host. We felt completely at home throughout our stay. Thank you so much for helping with our luggage—those little touches made all the difference. Our suite, the Canale, was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed: shampoo, body wash, hairdryer, coffee machine—all in working order. The table was even graced with lovely pink peonies, adding such a nice touch to our experience. The location was ideal for exploring Amsterdam, and Patrick’s restaurant recommendations truly elevated our culinary journey—we didn’t have to stress about finding good spots for breakfast or dinner. We highly recommend getting a GVB public transport pass; it makes getting around so easy. And we were especially grateful that Patrick arranged a taxi for our airport transfer. Truly unforgettable hospitality. Wishing you all the best—you’ve created something special here!
Canal View Stay Amsterdam
From the moment we clicked 'book,' everything felt seamless and welcoming. Johannes and Inna, our hosts at Canal View Stay Amsterdam, truly made us feel at home with their incredible attention to detail. The room was stunning—elegant, clean, and perfectly positioned right beside the canal, offering breathtaking views from every angle. We woke up to sunlight dancing on the water, and it was pure magic. But the highlight? Their recommendation of a boat ride along the canals—it’s absolutely not to be missed. Gliding through the historic waterways in a small traditional boat was unforgettable. It’s one of those simple yet special experiences that make a trip to Amsterdam so memorable. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience, and the warmth of the hosts makes it all the more special. If you're looking for charm, comfort, and authenticity, this is your spot.

Staying at Keizersgracht Residence in Amsterdam was an absolute highlight of our trip. We booked the 100 sqm Presidential Suite, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The master bedroom is spacious, quiet, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The second room, while smaller, features a bunk bed that worked out great for our kids and didn’t feel cramped at all. The living area, kitchen, and lounge were beautifully designed with high-end finishes throughout. Everything you’d need is here: Miele appliances including washer, dishwasher, and dryer, elegant furniture, and a warm, magical atmosphere that made us feel like we were staying in a private home rather than a hotel. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—everything major in Amsterdam is within walking distance, from museums to canal-side cafés. The neighborhood is safe, peaceful, and full of charm. Bram, the host, was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. He made us feel welcome from day one. Every cent spent was worth it. This place has a special magic, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave. A flawless experience—10/10 without hesitation.
Black Jack Suites Amsterdam
Black Jack Suites Amsterdam is an absolute standout, and I can’t recommend it enough. The owner, Ronald, truly goes above and beyond—when my son was staying there, Ronald personally sent me a message to confirm everything was going smoothly. That kind of thoughtful gesture is rare and incredibly reassuring. The room itself is spotless, modern, and thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail. It feels like home, yet refreshingly unique. What makes this place truly special isn’t just the comfort or cleanliness—it’s the genuine care behind every interaction. Ronald clearly puts in extra effort, always thinking ahead and never counting the hours. I’ve already decided I’ll visit Amsterdam again just to meet him in person. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a personal experience. If more accommodations followed this level of hospitality, the travel industry would be better for it. A must-try, no hesitation.

Tribe Amsterdam City
This was hands down the most comfortable hotel I stayed at during my European trip. The place feels brand new, with spacious rooms that make you feel instantly relaxed. It’s just two tram stops from Amsterdam Central Station—get off at Nord, which is the final stop—and it’s only a 3-minute walk to the hotel. Perfectly located for a quiet escape from the busy city center while still being super accessible. Check-in was handled by MIKA, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. I’d actually had trouble exiting the station earlier, but he quickly explained that scanning the Eurostar QR code would solve it. When I left, I was nervous—but sure enough, one scan and I was through. Huge thanks to MIKA! The breakfast was exceptional too. That coffee? The milk foam was so rich and velvety, it might be the best cup I’ve had anywhere in Europe. I even tried making waffles myself—fun and delicious! The room’s tea and coffee station was well stocked with capsules, tea bags, and everything else you’d need, and they were always refilled promptly. If I ever return to Amsterdam, this hotel would be my top pick without hesitation.
Sonder Park House
The location was excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and perfect for exploring Amsterdam on foot. The room was clean, modern, and well-designed, making it a comfortable base for our stay. While housekeeping services are available for an additional fee, the space felt fresh and tidy throughout our visit. Overall, it’s a great choice for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing style.
Hotel Mai Amsterdam
I absolutely loved the vibe of this hotel! The lobby is a real highlight—especially that serene little tree right in the center, it creates such a peaceful atmosphere. The location is unbeatable; just steps from the canal and super close to all the main tourist spots. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the unique hotel ID design—very memorable and stylish. It’s clear they put care into every detail. A fantastic stay with great value and a calming ambiance—I’d happily return!
