The room is convenient for solo travelers like myself, it's small but it does the job. The bathroom is located outside the room, so you must remember to keep the key with you all the time so you don't lock yourself out, the bathroom was clean everytime I used it which is great. The staff are exceptionally nice and respectful, the Irish lady was super sweet and nice (sorry, I didn't catch her name), same goes for the other lady, I would definitely book again. I was amazed by the convenience of the location, it's literally in the middle of the action if you are going for leisure, highly recommended.

The stairs are a bit too steep so if you have big luggage, you better prepare yourself for a workout. The bathroom is not very convenient since it's located outside the room, but I guess this is how things are in most hotels in Ams as far as I understood. Still wasn't a bad experience with the bathroom, but definitely would have loved it more if it was located in the room instead. There was some noise coming from next buildings but I guess it was a wild week because the King's day celebrations so it was okay.

The location is absolutely fantastic, right on the edge of a canal with boat hires and tours at the front door! Not to mention that it is directly in the centre of a very touristy area. The rooms were made daily to a high standard. There is a communal garden and balcony hidden from the street which is ideal early in the morning, and not to mention that the staff were very friendly! All in all I will definitely be going back!

Nothing!

The room I stayed in was nothing short of luxurious. From the elegant decor to the comfortable furnishings, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a serene and inviting atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the abundance of amenities provided, which made me feel right at home throughout my stay. Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam, Kooyk offers the perfect blend of convenience and charm. With its central location, I found myself within walking distance of some of the city's most iconic landmarks, bustling markets, and vibrant cultural attractions. Whether I was exploring the neighborhood or venturing further afield, I appreciated the hotel's proximity to everything the city has to offer. Breakfast was fantastic. The variety of options, from freshly baked breads to made-to-order omelets, ensured that there was something for every taste and preference. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional.

Location is wonderful! There is a nice enclosed patio but we didn't use it. Had a room with big windows that we could open up for a breeze, when in the room, during the day. (We enjoyed chilling with those windows open and even caught a little bit of the football game!) Owner/front desk was super nice and let my friends store all their luggage 2 hours before check in.

Not enough lighting in the room (We ended up using natural light from opening the windows and curtains). Lumpy pillows.

Was nicely surprised with this hotel. We were in room 15 which was large and the bed very comfortable. The owner was really lovely and helpful. We paid extra for breakfast on the 2nd and 3rd day and wish we had done this the first day too. Was an excellent breakfast of eggs (the best omelette I have ever had), yoghurt and fruit, croissants, bread/butter/jams etc, coffee (am sure you can have other drinks), orange juice. Much cheaper than breakfast at a surrounding cafe and the breakfast was made especially for us. Hotel was great location. 5 mins walk to bus 397 which goes direct to airport.

Liked everything

The breakfast was homemade and was very good and especially made for us. Mary, was very sweet and welcoming. She was the best person we met in Amsterdam and gave us recommendations of good places to go. The hotel is very central and very clean and if I go back to Amsterdam I will book my stay there again, for sure. Me and my kids loved it, mainly the lovely Mary and her husband 💕

Of course it is not so comfortable as a 4 or 5 stars hotel, but I looked and compared to others hotels with the 1 star and this one is a superior one indeed.

Lovely authentic town house, in a peaceful road overlooking a pretty canal. Good value for money, with a friendly and helpful host. Our room was very clean, large, quiet, with pleasant decor (room 19), the shared toilet and shower facilities were also clean and convenient to use. Leidseplein neighborhood has a nice happy and safe vibe, and is an excellent location for using the airport bus or bus 12 to central station for sightseeing. My family and I had a very enjoyable stay here and it exceeded my expectations for budget accommodation in Amsterdam!

the location was amazing! very simple check in and we could leave our bags there from 11am which was very helpful.

Although our room was clean and comfortable, it had an issue with damp

Conveniently located near the light rail and getting from Amsterdam central using this was very easy.

It was very hot in our room in the bottom floor. We could not utilize the double glass doors to let in fresh cool air as outside the room where the doors open to was a communal area. We requested a fan, and this came at a cost of 10€ per day — this should simply be included because you could not cope in the room without a fan in the very least.

the hotel is located near the city, you can just walk anywhere you want to go. room was really clean and nice, the rest of the hotel is too. beds are really comfortable and there is fantastic view of the canal. what made our stay even more enjoyable are the people. everyone working there was just nice and kind and you can tell they really care about their guests which is great. if i ever get the cance to come back in amsterdam, i will be staying in the kooyk hotel. 10/10
