De Kemphaan

The rooms are small but clean and modern. You can walk to the ferry stop and take the free ferry into Amsterdam.

Staff were great and got us into our room early so we could rest before heading out. The hotel is old and a true Amsterdam row house so if you can’t do stairs then request a room on main floor. Rooms were cute, comfy beds. Bathrooms are small but expected that. Air conditioning recently installed so that was a plus! The happy hour was a great way to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. Breakfast was very good with lots of options. Really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed in a 1 bedroom canal view space. Very comfortable and good space to spread out after a long day of exploring the city. There's no a/c, which we knew prior to our stay. Thankfully there was a fan provided which made a world of difference in the comfort level. Be sure to use it in the summer! The kitchen could have used a few more supplies such as mixing bowls, measuring spoons/cups, and a spatula but we were able to manage with what was provided. The tram was a short walk away and we were able to get to the museum district in 12 minutes! Otherwise it was a 15 min walk to the main train station. Do not neglect the wonderful park a short walk past the tram stop. We almost missed it and enjoyed it our last day. Sadly we discovered the cute shopping area in Haarlemmerplein after stores were closed and weren't there on the day of the market. Perhaps a summary of local amenities should be added to the checkin email "my trips" to facilitate food shopping and local information/resources for the guests. Overall satified with the stay and would recommend.
