Great stay, the nicest staff and in a perfect location!
The Zoku was really great. I feel bad giving it eight stars, because I could easily give it nine but our specific room smelled. I’m sure it’s just the person who stayed there before us cooked something kind of funky, but that’s the only reason I gave it an eight instead of nine or 10. They were so nice, I’m sure they would have moved me if I had spoken up sooner, so it actually is my fault. But don’t let this stop you from staying there. It is such a cool place and we loved the location. I didn’t know what I was getting into with the whole loft/workspace concept, but it’s great for a traveler as well. The location is about a 10 minute walk into the center of Amsterdam. I loved this, I would not have wanted to stay in the city center after being there a few days. The food was also really great. We had breakfast there and loved it and the coffee and drinks were great. The more I think about it, I will definitely stay there again next time I visit Amsterdam, I’ll just make sure to speak up sooner if the room smells!

the XL Studio was a good place for 2 people. The room and the kitchen is clever equipped. Felt like home for a few days. Loved the roof top and their sharing concept. We will come back for sure.
For the kitchen, there was a kitchen towel missing. I could not find one in the separate room. One of the iron has broken buttons (on the 4th floor) - needs a fix. Please fill up the empty Ice buckets, there were always empty in the separate room.

Fantastic, will come again
Great vibe, roof top bar, studio that are full appartments with all amenities, perfect location, fully digital parking in the back.
no complaints

All in all a great stay!! Highly recommend
The apartment is amazing. Smaller but enough room for two. The staff was a highlight - the girls and guys were lovely and polite and very open - greetings to the girly with the Mercedes tattoo!!
Our shower was a little broken but not enough to ask for a new room imo, so nothing to complain. And there were no little milk packets for the coffee

absolutely perfect!
The shared spaces were so beautifully decorated and the staff were so lovely and friendly, the room itself was gorgeous and having the option to turn the lights brightness up and down was a game changer, we will definitely be staying again and will use Zoku again when we visit its other locations in europe!

Comfy and modern. Will definitely come back.
The social area, terrace and restaurant are beautiful. We love the room too, comfy, very smart layout with plenty of storage. It’s not too far from busy areas, during our stay we mostly went around by foot. Also the luggage storage service is very handy.
Nothing really. Only a small thing - it would be nice if we could have at least some bottle water in the room on arrival.

Perfect apartment in good location
Brilliant apartment design. Super comfy bed. Good kitchen. Very clean and bright. Friendly welcome. Great location. Pleasant neighbourhood. Easy and beautiful walk to city centre. Very good supermarket nearby with lots of vegan options.
Price was high. May have been due to Pride weekend celebrations? Was worth it though because we had such an enjoyable visit.

Super cozy & clean, get all the things you need. The locker room is very convenient for travelers who will be early check-in or late check-out. And the location is perfect to access any sightseeing you would like to visit, train, tram, metro and bus. Ther are also 3 supermarkets nearby, SPAR, Jumbo & AH. Absolutely will visit again, Love Zoku! ❤️

Amazing, can’t wait to return again soon!
The most friendly, unique and brilliant hotel I have stayed in. I love the loft room concept, it was equipped with everything we could have needed for our stay and was very spacious. The staff were all so kind and helpful and made our stay even better! The hotel is only a short walk from the metro station so is very conveniently located. I hope to stay here again very soon!

Rooms were well designed and had everything we needed
Could hear the neighbours scraping their chairs- putting stoppers on the chair legs could reduce this noise

Absolutely lovely hotel would stay again although would ask for thorough room clean before arrival
Liked the layout, the size, the loft bed, lots of cupboard space, dishwasher, microwave, fridge. Really liked that we could go collect our own towels, extra things from the store room.
Every cupboard door needs cleaning, including the wardrobe which had dirty (black) hand marks build up. The kitchen cupboards were sticky because of not being cleaned in a very long time. Also every flat part had a layer of dust, especially in the loft area next to the bed had an immense amount of dust, I have allergies and wasn't happy to see that. Also the mattress moves overnight and underneath the mattress where our pillow goes, was a ton of ladies hair attached, I was shocked. There was egg bits stuck to the ceiling in the kitchen, to the side of the splashback also. The cleaning is not thorough enough for the standard of this lovely hotel. I was very disappointed with that side of things.

Super practical
You get the comfort of having a little apartment but with hotel facilities. The laundry is useful.
24 June 2025
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.
22 June 2025
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!

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.
15 June 2025
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 :)

We had a wonderful trip.
Location near the Metro and tram lines was great.

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!
