Loved by Hotel Nicolaas Witsen guests
"The room was nice and fully equipped (TV, wifi, coffee/tea, small fridge, plenty of electrical sockets, toiletries,.)"
"It's about a 10 minute walk into the main city so it's lovely and peaceful but is still close to other attractions like the museums."
"As travellers from Canada the best part was the outlets having USB and USB-C ports to charge our devices without the currency adapters."

Property History
The hotel occupies three buildings constructed in 1906. Purchased in 1981 by Robert Roozendaal and Anne de Bruijn, it was transformed from a dilapidated property into a 3-star hotel. Their son Alex Roozendaal joined in 2000, leading modernization and sustainability upgrades while preserving historical elements.
“This renovated property balances historical charm with modern comfort in a quiet corner of Amsterdam. It's a family-friendly choice with exceptionally clean rooms and personalized service, including convenient bicycle rentals. The location, a short walk from Rembrandtplein and near a metro station, makes it easy to explore the city.”

The hotel has a convenient location, situated on a peaceful street within a charming area! but it is still close enough for walking to main attractions. Amenities exceeded my expectations for the price. I enjoyed the provided breakfastwith fresh and varied options.
the room felt a bit small for two people with luggage, and this affected my overall comfort a tiny bit.

central locationhelpful staffuncomfortable bedsmall room
The location was pretty central (i liked that it was tucked away). The hotel staff were helpful too. Our room suited us well. It was quite compact.
The bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable. The room was entirely too small for two people with luggage (we had quite a lot, actually). The toilets were also very shallow.
