The July - Twenty Eight

Staying at The July - Twenty Eight in Amsterdam was a delightful experience overall. The room layout is excellent, with thoughtful design and high-quality furniture that adds a touch of elegance. The only minor drawback is the curtains—despite having two layers, they still let in some light, which could be an issue for early morning wake-ups. Also, the sofa bed is positioned close to the window, so it might catch some sunlight during the day. That said, these are small concerns in an otherwise outstanding stay. I especially appreciated the welcome cookies—such a nice little touch! The location is convenient, and the attention to detail makes this place stand out. Highly recommended for a comfortable, stylish getaway.

Staying at Hotel de Hallen was an absolute delight. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a serene and charming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep.
