Yays Amsterdam Salthouse Canal by Numa

The staff welcomed us warmly upon check-in and took the time to show us how to use the in-room amenities, including the washing machine and dryer—very thoughtful. We appreciated the complimentary coffee, tea, cookies, and chocolates available in the lobby; it made our arrival feel extra special. There are also shared laundry facilities in the basement, which is great since we already had a washer/dryer in the room—convenient for longer stays. Plus, two bikes are available for rent, perfect for exploring the city on two wheels. The room itself is spacious and spotlessly clean, with one large bed and a generous sofa bed—ideal for a group of four. The in-room coffee maker was a nice touch for morning routines. The view from the window is lovely, offering a peaceful glimpse of the canal life. One small improvement could be adding more lighting in the living area—it’s a bit dim, but not enough to spoil the experience. Overall, our four-night stay was incredibly pleasant. The location, comfort, and attention to detail make this a standout choice. Highly recommended for travelers seeking a cozy, well-located, and thoughtfully designed home away from home.

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.

Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, by Hyatt

Staying at Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht was an absolute delight. The location couldn't be better—just steps away from the famous Nine Streets and surrounded by top attractions, making it perfect for exploring on foot.
