Jordaan Hotels

We had a huge room with a great view, a very big, very comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom with both bath and shower. The staff are really friendly and helpful, helping with directions and offering to arrange various excursions at check in. Aitana is only a 10 minute walk from Centraal Station and was really easy to find. There's not much directly surrounding the hotel (in terms of eating and drinking) but it's a short walk to the city centre so this definitely wasn't a problem for us. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.
