Achlum Holidays

We didn’t realize that this property was by the docks and not the one we assumed that was in The Jordaan area, so we were quite surprised to find this out. You will need to take the train to everywhere you want to go, as you’re quite far away from central Amsterdam. We also experienced 3 fire alarms and received no calls that they were false alarms.

2nf stay and it was great again!

Conveniently located within walking distance of the historic city centre. Second floor apartment within a traditional narrow canal-front townhouse. It is accessed up communal steep staircase from a main front door and is annexed to the main hotel next door. The apartment overlooks a very picturesque canal, which is the best feature together with the sizeable open plan living / dining / kitchen area. It has a comfortable double bedroom and a wet room. The kitchen area could use some minor repairs to drawer fronts, handles etc, but this didn’t affect our enjoyment. The hotel staff next door were very accommodating with check-in, check-out and leaving luggage. The rear bedroom overlooks an internal courtyard which is also overlooked by bedroom windows from the adjacent hotel. No particular issues, but meant some conversations from neighbouring accommodation could be heard clearly in the evening / night-time if windows were open. Overall would recommend.

Great place close to public transportation

The location was truly excellent. Its within walking or biking distance of any area you want to see. Lots of great cafes and restaurants. The room was fairly basic, but had everything we needed and a coffee maker. The desk staff was excellent.
