Ter Heijde Vacations from ￥252,881

The room we had was a huge two bedroom, two bath that had a full kitchen. It was great as our son as his own room. The negative was that it was very warm even though they provided two floor fans which helped but we found out not many hotels have air conditioning. They also only do housekeeping once a week but we did say something and they came after our 4th night there, Another negative was that the people that stayed above us must have had a couple kids that ran around like it was a park and they were up at all hours of the night.

This location is good if you want an affordable hotel that’s walking distance from the canal districts and from the De Pijp neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and the room fairly well equipped. Unfortunately we got woken on the first morning, with “do not disturb” on our door, because the hotel plumbing had backed up and the plumbing access was in our room. Not a great start, our shower backed up with water from the sewers and smelled terrible. The hotel did give us a room to shower in for the day which helped and the staff were great. I’d like to have liked this hotel a lot more than we did, unfortunately starting a stay with a plumbing failure affecting the overall stay isn’t going to result in a five-star experience anywhere though.
