HOTEL JL NO76

Great little hotel in a lovely location. Staff were very friendly and welcoming!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everyone we spoke to was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting the art museums and within easy walking distance of many restaurants and bars. It was also close to the bus stop for the 197 airport express bus. The hotel itself was nicely decorated and it felt modern and classy without being stuffy. We had an executive room on the third floor facing the street. The room was large with one of the most comfortable beds I had ever slept in. Plenty of space to store clothes, a safe at no extra charge, two wash hand basins, a large TV with channels in a number of languages including BBC1 and BBC2. The bathroom contained a jacuzzi bath which was lovely to use but slightly awkward to get out of as it was quite deep. The shower was a very nice large rain shower with a smaller handheld shower. The screen did not prevent the water from splashing out into the room a little, though, so don't leave clothes on the floor nearby while you're in it! All towels were changed every day despite the notice saying they wouldn't be changed unless you left them on the floor, with a view to being environmentally friendly. Although it's nice to always have new towels, I would have been happy to reuse them, so both the environment and the hotel's laundry bill lost out! We felt breakfast was a little expensive but you could eat and drink as much as you liked, so if you had a big appetite it was OK. There was a nice range of breads and cheeses, fruit, yoghurt and pastries, cereal, nuts and hot food. Some vegetarian sausages would have been appreciated. The a la carte menu had a nice range of eggs, pancakes and waffles.It would have been good to be able to choose more than one item from the a la carte menu though, as these dishes were quite small. Also I felt if you ordered poached or fried eggs they ought to have come with some kind of bread or toast - you could make your own toast but it was difficult to time it to arrive at the same time! There was a coffee machine that made all kinds of good quality coffees, and some very nice teas and fruit juices were available. All in all, any negatives mentioned above were extremely minor! I'm being a little nitpicky for the sake of a completely honest review. The hotel was absolutely lovely, and with such good service and such a comfortable bed, as well as the great location, we would go back in a heartbeat.

The hotel and staff were lovely!

Very enjoyable stay, very accommodating staff.

Hotel is a beautiful boutique place to stay, in a quiet neighbourhood and is so close to the museums (less than 200 metres to the Van Gogh). Just one street over are all of the shops that you could want and there are many places to eat and drink close by. It is on the border of the city and it is an easy walk into all of the main parts of Amsterdam. Similarly it is so close to Vondel Park which is a great place to walk, picnic and relax. The tram into Amsterdam is also as close as the Van Gogh museum. Staff were great and so helpful.
