We were very pleased with everything on our visit to the Jan Luyken Hotel. The hotel was small, boutiquey, and charming. The staff was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. The hotel itself was extremely clean and nice. Our room was quite small, but this is to be expected; It was, however, furnished nicely and in great shape. The bathroom was small, but very clean and in good order. Because the hotel is a few of the row-houses combined, the whole place is very steep and vertical. Fun, VERY steep staircases between floors, and in some cases, on the same floor. When we got off the elevator with our many heavy bags, we still had to maneuver them up another staircase and down some windy halls. So be aware of this- the place is quirky, not a cookie cutter hotel.

The location was superb. Away from the red light and noisy parts of town, but close walk to the museums and leideshplein area, and maybe a 20-30 min walk elsewhere (red light, anne frank huis, amstel river area, etc.) Amsterdam is a great town for walking anyway!

We got a great bed and breakfast deal at this hotel and it's definitely the best place we've stayed during our trips to Amsterdam.

Staff were very friendly and chatty, always acknowledged you when you were coming and going and the reception was always manned.

The room and bathroom were done out well and had a modern, trendy look. Plenty of wardrobe space and enough coathangers (one of my things!). Tea, coffee and a mini-bar were provided too. Our room was cleaned and towels were changed daily.

Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice, hot and cold. Staff at breakfast were very nice too and it felt like they took an interest. Breakfast finishes at 10.30am which is later than a lot of places, so great if you've had a heavy one the night before!

Location is also great and near all the places we enjoy in Amsterdam, like Vondelpark. Trams and buses are right on the doorstep so it's very easy to get about if you need to travel a bit further.

We would definitely make this our first hotel choice when we go back to Amsterdam.

We loved this hotel. We do think we had a superior room however, but as we never saw any of the others, we could be wrong. Regardless, this hotel is spotless, newly refurbished, very quiet and generally lovely. Breakfast was great, staff were lovely and very attentive. Perhaps a little bit out of the way but very near Vondelpark, Hard Rock Cafe, Rijksmuseum, and in a generally lovely, well to do area. Great suggestion if you are looking for a quiet trip to Amsterdam. About half hour walk to Dam Square.

Excellent location - a few blocks from the Van Gogh and Rijks museums. Could easily walk to Leidseplein and was a short tram ride to red light district.
We got a room with a bathtub on the ground floor. The room was small (even by European standards) with a very small bathroom. Overall this was a satisfactory experience.
