Relaxing and unique
Breakfast was nice. Very good portion of yoghurt with muesli and fruit
The fact that the camomille flowers would get stuck in the teapot 😉 I mentioned it to the staff

Beautiful hotel in excellent location.
Beautifully designed and maintained. Very helpful and friendly staff. Robe and slippers and plenty of space to hang clothes.
Jansz restaurant a little overpriced. Plug sockets in the room! All are linked, great when you want to turn off the lights not when you need to charge your phone. Only one that isn’t linked is half way up the wall just outside the bathroom which you’re supposed to use for the hairdryer, not really suitable for the purpose and not for charging either. Would have preferred the option of a bath.

Living the dream
Stunning property which is actually a collection of several ( over 20) canal houses . Impeccable style and decor retaining the character and ambience of a beautiful older world but having everything modern . Pulitzer bar a must . Lunch in Janz restaurant was lovely - had booked garden for fondue bit too cold out. The staff - everyone - concierge with golden keys , the baggage / parking and portering staff ( Rick , a young man from Glasgow and another young man whose name I can’t recall ), reception , room cleaning etc. were warm and wonderful . The management clearly have a great eye and mind for whom they engage . My room ( cosy over canal )was just a dream . I can’t wait to go back

Luxury boutique hotel in a great part of town.
Beautiful luxury hotel in the nicest part of central Amsterdam. Surrounded by nice cafes and boutique shops but a little removed from all the usual hustle and bustle you expect in Amsterdam. The hotel has several bars and restaurants too which are all good quality but pricey. Rooms are nice and have all the amenities you expect. Although some of the furniture in ours was looking a bit tired. Staff were all friendly and accommodating.
For the price we paid I was hoping for a canal view but we looked into an internal courtyard instead. Bathrooms are very small for a 5 star hotel.

Outstanding hotel. Ask about the location of your room if you are on the first floor.
The design of this hotel was stunning. Truly stunning. Location and neighborhood was sublime.
My room was located near a service door on the first floor and the staff traffic and noise were unfortunate.

We did not eat breakfast but had food at both bars and in the restaurant during our stay that was very good quality. Location of the hotel was perfect for walking around the small lanes for high end shopping boutiques and the best independent cafes

Overall a great property! Would return for sure!
Great location and lovely lobby and downstairs. Very comfy beds.
It’s expensive and would have liked breakfast to be included. Room was pretty tight as we had a rollaway bed in it for our son.
