Zuilichem Vacations from ￥231,700

Staff very helpful. Close to metro, shops, bars & walking distance to Heineken experience. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room, I found that disappointing.

There was an excellent restaurant right next to the hotel. Food was amazing and reasonably priced

If my heaven were a hotel, this would be it. Gorgeous historic building, sumptuous linens, super helpful and friendly desk attendants and bar/restaurant staff, and a terrific location for exploring. When I arrived, it was very cold and drizzling, but I was welcomed warmly and immediately taken up to my lovely room. The room included a huge deep tub, which felt amazing after a transcontinental flight, and while I soaked, the built-in towel warmer made the super-fluffy towels extra cozy. (Water pressure and heat was excellent, btw, which isn't always the case w/ historic properties.) Basics like the bed, room temp, lighting, WIFI, and clothing storage were all thoughtfully appointed and perfectly functioning. No noise issues. I appreciated the in-room espresso set up, and room service was quick and delicious for the one meal I had through the hotel restaurant. The bar area was comfy and chic -- velvet reading chairs and little cafe tables. I wished I'd had more time to enjoy it. Location felt very safe to use as a home base, which was important to me as a solo female traveler. In the evenings, walking back to the hotel was a treat, as you could glimpse stunning interiors inside the beautiful old townhomes all along the canal. A few blocks in one direction was a charming street full of small bistros and shops; the other direction led to the 'Nine Streets' area, which is full of shopping delights and cute restaurants. I would stay here again in a second. Fabulous.

I chose this hotel mainly for its price and location, and it definitely delivered on both. It’s conveniently close enough to central Amsterdam, walkable to many attractions and near the metro, while still being quiet enough at night for a peaceful stay. One pleasant surprise was the housekeeping. Even though I didn’t leave a cleaning sign on my door, I returned every night to a tidy room with folded clothes and fresh towels, which I really appreciated. There were a couple of downsides. The TV didn’t work at all, though it wasn’t a big issue since I spent most of my time out exploring. The air conditioning also wasn’t very strong, and with the humid weather, the room could get a bit uncomfortable. Opening the window helped a lot, but it’s something to keep in mind. On a positive note, the mini fridge included a tall pitcher of water and a mini soft drink when I arrived, which was a nice touch. Overall, I’d rate my stay as a solid 4.5 out of 5. I would recommend this hotel primarily for its great location and affordability. The staff were also really helpful with directions!
