Bears Holidays

Property was nice with many amenities. The room was very basic and a bit tight, but met all our needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful with our requests. Lots of younger students and visitors staying here which kept things feeling young and vibrant.

We booked the room at the top floor. It's beautiful and HUGE, with a great view of the canal. Loved it. Very romantic. Included breakfast is wonderful, fresh and yummy. Just one weird thing, the first cup of coffee is free but they charge for a second cup of coffee. At the price of this room why ask guests to pay for a second cup of coffee. Seems a little petty.

Beware if you have trouble with steps, there were 45 from front door to room 202. Of course they are narrow, that's typical. We found it charming, but we had only a small luggage and are in pretty good shape. It seems to have good security, and fair amount of hot water. Room 202 is a family room with a queen bed and 2 twins. Staff is helpful and friendly. The hotel is a just few minutes walk to Hard Rock cafe and great restaurants. Get off the bus from the airport at leidsplain.

Great hotel for a short break in Amsterdam with excellent accessibility from the airport and also into town.

The July was absolutely lovely. I have OCD and will only stay where the place feels clean. The bathroom was spotless, the bed and bedding was clean (and comfortable - I slept like a baby) The staff were super friendly and gave us some really lovely restaurants to go and try (we’re foodies!!) and any bits missing from the room, they sorted in less than 5 minutes after calling the front desk. I could literally have stayed for another two weeks there to be honest and I’m hoping to come back asap (when I can afford a longer stay). It’s about a 25/30 min walk to central Amsterdam and it’s an easy enough walk. The ferry is about a 10 minute walk away too, so great to get to the artsy side of dam. The only thing I didn’t love was the TV - we luckily brought a cable to connect our iPad to use Netflix etc, but if you don’t have that, you can only watch a couple channels and the apps don’t load properly - it took me a while to get YouTube up and I can’t even remember how I did it in the first place! I can’t say that’s the case for every room and is only a slight negative if you wanted to chill and watch something after being out all day.
