A wonderful and welcoming place to stay. The room was beautiful, as was the rest of the house and garden. The bed was comfortable, breakfast was great and plentiful. We stayed for 3 nights in a Deluxe double room with balcony and it was so lovely. The hostess was welcoming, attentive and very kind. We would love to come back for another stay. Some practical info for people who is thinking about making a reservation; Getting to Amsterdam City Center was easy as pie; a 2-3-minute walk to the bus stop and then a 15-minute bus ride to Amsterdam Centraal Station. There was a free public parking lot a minute from the hotel so If you’re driving – no problem. There was also an Electric vehicle charging station on the parking lot. We could not have been happier with our stay!

Wonderful building, cozy rooms and very friendly staff. Very delicious vegan-friendly breakfast with products from the region. Perfect location outside of loud and overcrowded tourist areas but near a bus station, which can be used to commute to Amsterdam Central fast and cheap. Even late in the evenings and early in the mornings. Also, there are plenty of free parking opportunities. All in all, it was a pleasure. A perfect romantic getaway for a weekend in Amsterdam with your partner

We received a very warm welcome from the host. The house was so cozy, we felt right at home. Relaxing atmosphere and delicious breakfast in the morning.

The rooms couldn’t be more beautiful. We stayed in the room with a balcony and the room and bathroom (along with the house in its entirety) is stunning. All kept very clean as well. The host was lovely, and presents a lovely breakfast every morning of breads, cheeses, yoghurt, fruits and plenty of extra bits as needed. The town of Monnickendam is also gorgeous and very tranquil. If I could recommend everyone stay here instead of the centre of Amsterdam I would! 15 minute bus ride into Amsterdam max. and the buses come very regularly. A truly 10/10 experience. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Everything was amazing. We woke up to soaring cielings with a wooden chandelier overhead and then opened the curtains to then step out onto the upper level balcony for a morning coffee. The room itself, including the bathroom, was a work of art. From there, as we decended the curved staircase lined by portaits, you could already smell the fresh bread being baked. Babette was kind, warm, and welcoming, offering us mango hummus from the local market and rhubarb jam. She was willing to answer any questions and had many inisghtful tips for the area. The dining room was decorated in a superb way. Later in the afternoon, after taking a stroll in the old town and having a coffee ice cream, we say on the back garden lawn chairs and read while sitting in the sun. I cannot begin to express how much attention to detail there was. From the individually picked anitque pieces, to the little touches such as wonderful scented room difusers, it was all done with great execution. Definitely would go back again for a peaceful weekend away!

Nothing at all. It was all great.

We absolutely loved everything about the Fortuna Spinoza hotel! Firstly, the location was simply stunning. Situated in the picturesque town of Monnickendam in the Netherlands. The charming and historic ambiance of the property added to its allure, making it a perfect place for our stay. Babette and Raziye were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was enjoyable. The rooms were beautifully decorated, comfortable, very close to public transport and equipped with all the amenities we could ask for. Overall, we were truly impressed by the attention to detail and the warm hospitality provided.

To be honest, there wasn't anything to dislike.

Fantastic breakfast - fresh fruit, fresh bread. Babette was simply the best host - and her colleague Raziye was adorable. Nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable rooms and a fantastic location for visiting Amsterdam - 5 minutes to the bus stop (be careful to ask which one to use for Amsterdam Central) and a 15 minute ride into town on the very frequent buses. Monnickendam is a beautiful town with several good restaurants - a perfect end to each day. So glad we stayed here (for 5 nights - not the one night shown on the listing). Babette - you have set new standards!

Nothing!

It is absolutely beautiful ...best B&B I've ever stayed in. Decor was phenomenal and the location heavenly(next to a church). The back garden is like from a storybook fairytale. The town and harbor are perfect. No need to stay in Amsterdam ever again. Plus Babette and her husband the owners were polite, accomodating and beautiful peopl. Now there " girls" ( small puppies) stole my heart ❤️. It is a true 10/10. WIll definitely be back.

It was perfect

Really beautiful refurbished town house, which definitely lives up to the pictures! The service is lovely and very personal since there's only three guest rooms. The location is perfect - central Monnickendam while also being close to the bus into Amsterdam. Waking up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning and the overall quality of the breakfast is a lovely touch!
