Super practical
You get the comfort of having a little apartment but with hotel facilities. The laundry is useful.

Would definitely return and highly recommend.
We loved the whole concept. Beautiful room and great spaces on the rooftop.
Liked everything but perhaps cleaning could be improved a little.

Great customer service. Good overall stay.
The room is comfortable. Good location. Great customer service.
The room could use detailed cleaning. It appeared very clean until you needed to reach for something in the corner. It was only a minor problem. It was loud if you opened the window.

When in Amsterdam, Zoku is the way to be!
Zoku is an absolute gem! Great location. Wonderful and unique rooms. Awesome top floor with a bar and a restaurant. Beautiful view of the city as you lounge on one of the outdoor patios on the top floor while sipping on a cocktail or a beer and munch on delicious appetizers. Super friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Enjoyable modern hotel in a good location
Big room for Amsterdam. Great kitchenette. Good location for walking canals.
The loft bed. Have to climb over partners to get out of bed!

I would come back and recommend to others
Fantastic interesting design and concept. Lovely helpful staff

Weekend in Amsterdam
I spent the weekend in Amsterdam and picked this place purely for the location and the reviews but realized once I entered the room that it's not designed like a traditional hotel but more of minimalist apartment, I really like the loft design, the space is very well utilized. Also soo.cool that you have a functioning kitchen and you can cook a meal in your hotel room.
Really cool room design, equipped with everything you may need in an apartment.

Good place
Nice and original place. Loved the roof floor! Modern and comfy rooms.
25 minutes walking to traim station but we knew.
15 June 2025
Lovely, cozy, good location!
Zoku was great (specially for longer stays or if you want to feel at home in your little apartment). The room is very well designed and the space is very well distributed. I loved having my little nook upstairs with the bed, it felt super cozy. If you like to make your own breakfast like me, the kitchen is the perfect size and it's equipped with everything you need. Zoku pays attention to the details and that's something I appreciated! Would definitely stay here again :)

Couldn't recommend high enough
Staff were amazing, gave me a free upgrade and a nicer room. The bar area was brilliant and couldn't fault the facilities.
I liked everything.
12 June 2025
We would definitely stay again and will consider Zoku in their other locations!
We were so happy to have a changeroom, shower and locker for our things when we came off a long flight and it was too early to check in. Not a detail was missed and we were grateful. Room was exactly as pictured and super clean.
Can't think of a thing!

Great place - would stay here again
Great place and the staff were very warm and welcoming. Very easy to get around Amsterdam. Very convenient for the flea market and Artis.
It's a small gripe but the cutlery and bowls in the kitchen weren't washed. Easily rectified

Perfect location, great to work and explore
Room was a perfect size and in a great location to walk around.
Nothing, everything was great!
7 June 2025
Great find.
Special props to Julia and Tomka. Julia heroically took my forgotten passport to a waiting Bolt Car to rush it the airport to just make our flight on time. OK, truthfully, The train strike slowed things down so much that even though the passport did arrive on time, they would not expedite us to go through security so we had to catch another flight. Still, a good story.
That it is made clear the rooms don’t all have the views of the rooftop.

Fabulous
I had a wonderful stay. The room was excellent. I particularly appreciated the many co-working spaces available, which made it easy to focus and be productive. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in the city.

Thank you Zoku Amsterdam!!
Quiet, helpful staff, great location

Fantastic time in Amsterdam. Great accommodation.
Having our own space with facilities that means you’re not dependent on eating out every meal. Space to relax. Green outdoor roof space Comfortable bed
Bar prices. I would have bought more if they were more reasonable.

Great stay in Amsterdam
We really enjoyed our stay at Zoku. The amenities were great, and the hotel itself was very comfortable. The staff was exceptionally helpful and even allowed us to check in earlier than expected, which we truly appreciated. The room was smartly designed, offering plenty of space and functionality for longer stays. Everything was just right — from the excellent shower pressure to the incredibly comfortable bed and pillows. I would absolutely stay at Zoku again!
Nothing, all was great!

Cool design, great location, great terrace and personnel
Cleaning did not come over the whole stay, even though should be every 3rd night
4 May 2025
Cozy place to stay, with relaxing common areas perfect for both work and leisure
- Very good location, in a quiet area, close to some of the main tourist attractions (nice walk to the Madame Tussauds, the Red Light District etc.) - Spacious room, modern & cozy design and furniture, comfortable bed - Very friendly staff - A very nice terrace and outdoor spaces on the 6th floor
- I would have preferred a better placement of the TV so that it could be seen from the bed as well, not just from the couch - I would have appreciated a wider variety at breakfast, particularly in terms of vegetables and sweets
3 May 2025
People focused
Imagine your home, plus all the benefits and features of a hotel, plus the outdoor areas of a retreat center, plus every area of the rooftop designed in such a way that you have a different experience in each...put it all together and that's what you get at Zoku. This is my cousin and my spot in Amsterdam from now on!

Great location and space.
The room was spacious. Great location. Loved the casual vibe. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Nothing really... the name board can be a bit more visible. The loft bed is not the most comfortable for 2 people. You have to constantly cross over the person near the stairs to get out.

The location was great, the room and facilities were perfect, the restaurant was a great option
The staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful, very friendly.
They should have had bicycle helmets available with bicycle rentals, although I understand this is a problem throughout Amsterdam.

A Truly Exceptional Stay – Felt Like Home!
I couldn’t believe this was a hotel. It felt just like home! The loft was incredibly comfortable, more like having my own apartment while on vacation. It had everything I needed, and the cozy, well-thought-out design made it so easy to relax and unwind. The rooftop was another highlight. It was the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy the view, and indulge in some amazing food and drinks. What really made the stay unforgettable, though, was the staff. Everyone was so kind, receptive, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made the whole experience even more special. Can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The only thing I would say is that the room was not exceptionally clean. There were some crumbs on the floor as well as food droppings on the table. It seemed to not be cleaned very well. All in all, the stay was fantastic.
20 April 2025
Great location, fun design and great parking
Great location. Very convenient to be able to book a parking spot right behind the hotel. The roof top bar was great! Good breakfast with good coffee. We‘d stay there again!
Our first night was not so calm as the room was located right below the bar (live music). But the Zoku team dealt with it professionally.
