Independent, Jordaan Hotels

3 blocks from The Anne Frank House in an old canal house in the Jordaan section. Thoughtful, caring owners, Ann and Marion. Tight winding staircase to access 4 floors. Nice breakfast spread. I had the 3rd story single bed by the street. Very noisy on Saturday night (into early Sunday morning) with revelers beneath my window. A room away from the street would be better. I recommend La Oliva restaurant right across the lane: "Pintxos Y Vinos." Perfect base to explore the wonders and pleasures of Amsterdam.

This is very mis-leading be careful.! I turned up to what I expected to be a beautiful wooden apartment on the canal with nice views, and as it's not cheap I expected it to be a little bit special. well, it's a room inside a family home, it is a nice room but you use the same front door as the family, and you can hear every day family life! and I'm sure they could hear you if they so wanted! it just feels strange not having the privacy. the location is poor. the view is of a dirty old canal and a breeze block wall. poor wifi connection in the room. pictures are inaccurate. overall I feel I could of spent the money better on a nice hotel.

My wife and I stayed at Studio Bloemgracht for two days in June 2013. We were looking at hotels in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam. However having stumbled upon the Studio Bloemgracht we were sold on the idea of a self catering apartment. The studio sits beside one of the many canals and has everything you need for a short break including a complimentary coffee machine with a selection of coffee pods. There is also a radiant hot plate where us English tea lovers can boil a kettle. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and lunch at the nearby Broodje Mokum cafe. The studio has a double bed, shower and a fantastic patio with small garden where we could enjoy a moment of tranquility in an urban location. The studio is a short walk from the Anne Frank house and many other sights of interest. The owners Jack and Arlette live upstairs, a really hospitable and informative couple who went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. There are no negatives to staying at Studio Bloemgracht I would recommend it to couples who want a more intimate place to stay in Amsterdam the place is just perfect. If you want to treat yourself and your partner or celebrate an occasion in Amsterdam then avoid the hotels and try Studio Bloemgracht. It worked for us.
