The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'free drinks and snacks' policy and the homey design, often forgiving the small room sizes because of the generous common areas.
Jan Luyken Amsterdam
$180-280/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the vibe of a wealthy friend's canal house where the wine fridge is always open and free.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- The 'open bar' concept: unlimited self-service wine, beer, and spirits included in the rate
- Location is unbeatable: quiet street sandwiched between the Rijksmuseum and luxury shopping
- Design feels like a high-end private residence, not a corporate hotel
Brzi pregled: The rooms are Amsterdam-tiny, but the free-flowing booze and snacks in the stunning library make you forget you can't open your suitcase fully.
Pregledano od @bonnierakhit: I fell in love with the design here—the terracotta walls and Art Nouveau tiles are stunning. It’s right in the Museum Quarter but feels so peaceful. My room was a total vibe, and the lounge is the perfect spot to unwind with a book.

Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti

Is the alcohol really free?
Yes. The hotel operates on a 'home-away-from-home' concept where self-service wine, beer, and spirits in the lounge are included in your stay.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, all rooms have climate control, which is a luxury in historic Amsterdam buildings.
How far is the Van Gogh Museum?
It is literally around the corner, less than a 3-minute walk.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it is pet-friendly, but expect a fee around €35-50 per night.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, the hotel has an elevator, but it can be small and slow. Some rooms (like the Studio) may still require stairs.
What is the breakfast like?
It's a high-quality continental spread (pastries, yogurt, fruit, local breads) rather than a massive hot buffet.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete

💡Housekeeping can be a bit relaxed; you might find dust on the high shelves.
💡The hotel scent is distinct—a mix of old wood and fresh linen.
💡You can grab snacks (fruit, sweets) from the kitchen area 24/7.
