Jordaan Hotels

Kudos to the hotel staff. We arrived around 9 a.m., having travelled all night by train from Berlin. We were greeted while waiting in line for someone at the check-in desk and the woman was able to locate a room for us to check into immediately, even though check-in time wasn't until 2 p.m. We were given great information about Amsterdam, including a very helpful map by which to navigate. The location was good (a quick bus trip to Central Train Station or a 15 minute walk). Room was lovely and clean - especially liked the large shower. We also enjoyed a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant - small plates with lots of variety just hit the spot. Would definitely stay there again.

I looked on line for a long time to find the perfect place to stay in Amsterdam. I feel I truly succeeded with Jackie O's. This wonderfully located studio apartment in the Jordaan district overlooks the quiet Bloemgracht Canal, and is minutes away from restaurants, shops and the tram line. The apartment is clean, spacious and the perfect spot to base your stay in Amsterdam. There is also free Wi-Fi, which is an extra bonus. It is literally a five minute walk to the Anne Frank House (make advance reservations, as the lines are always really long), and the Westerkirk. The Hop on-Hop Off bus stop is also very close (a great way to get your bearings for the city). The Tulip Museum and Cheese Museum are right around the corner as well (the Tulip Museum is a great place to buy bulbs and you can taste all of the cheeses at the Cheese Museum). Jackie was very helpful in telling us about restaurants in the neighborhood and is a good resource for ideas on what to see and do. I would highly recommend Jackie O's.

This location, in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam is right across from a picturesque canal and near the tram line and good restaurants. The host was extremely helpful and on accommodating. This is an apartment, so ideally you might have a simple breakfast or lunch here, then head out for one of the many great neigborhood restaurants for dinner. We would have liked to stay longer to take advantage of the fact that we were in a studio apt. rather than a hotel room.
