Independent, Plantage - Eastern Docklands Hotels

Guido and Camilla, owners of this beautiful small hotel present a first rate living experience in Amsterdam. The townhouse is filled with art and antiques and history. Chambers were elegant, spacious and totally equipped with every delicacy and wine and comfort. Brunch was the finest we have had in any hotel or restaurant in the world, and we have traveled a great deal. The owners who are beyond charming make sure you are comfortable, shown the city by car, given help for any excursions, picked up and dropped off... whatever to make your stay in both Amsterdam and their hotel exquisite.

Stout & Co. is not only a beautifully designed hotel, but is also hosted by wonderful and helpful people. I will stay here again.

Good place - great value for money. Quality of materials is 'Ikea' level but very acceptable. Large and spacious.

Rooms were clean and had everything you need. We were a group of 8 so they accommodated us all on the top floor together, no-one else was there so it was great to have it to ourselves and feel we could spread out. The staff were brilliant - helping us with directions for places to eat, visit and where the nearest supermarket was, providing information on public transport, helping us to order a takeaway pizza. Hotel Allure wasn't located right in the centre of Amsterdam but we didn't see that as a problem - it meant it was quiet at night and it was easy to get public transport to the centre and it was also possible to walk, which was a great way to experience Amsterdam and view the architecture etc. We stayed in Hotel Allure for a weekend for leisure purposes but then were in Amsterdam for business the following two days, which involved a stay in the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel (a Marriott hotel)- undoubtedly more expensive (we weren't paying). On our return journey back to England we were largely in agreement that out of the two we preferred Hotel Allure - warmer welcome, more relaxed, better atmosphere.

We stayed here for one night. We are a family of 5 and the hostel was perfect for us. There were lots of young travellers but we saw a few families too. I'd definitely recommend; a good option with helpful staff.

As a group of three we stayed at the Hotel Parklane and found it to be excellent for our needs, well located, great standard of accommodation and with nice breakfast. We stayed in Room 12 on the top floor - staircase was steep but no real problem. Wifi could was a little intermittent in our room but fine downstairs. Overall it proved a great base for our long weekend tour of Amsterdam.

Great experience Room was excellent, service charge for room service was told it was free and then change to 7 euro. Hotel was clean and well situated for trams every 5 mins in the centre of town. Staff were helpful

Had a great time with my boyfriend. Everything was easy to access. The room was nice n spacious. Big was big and comfortable. Tram service was right outside the hotel which is great. The park beside the hotel was nice also.

Visited again after having a lovely time before and even better this time round with being upgraded to a better room to the one we booked with due to being overfilled and loved that and the staff were so accommodating as ever.. Couldn't do enough for us.. The bar and dining staff are to be mentioned with Mitchell Julian annike and Vera in particular who took an interest in ourselves all the time which you wouldn't get here in the UK unless you paid well enough I think.. But will be going again no doubt... Big thumbs up I say!!..

A clean and comfortable place to stay highly recommended
