Giessendam Holidays

This was an excellent stay. Cleanest hotel I have stayed at in Europe so far. Located in hands down the best area of Amsterdam for Food, shopping, night life and shelter from mainstream crowds. Staff was courteous and friendly with every encounter and went the extra mile every chance they could.

From the time that I arrived to the time that I left, they really treated me as best they could, also managed to find a room on the first floor due to my health condition. Alway was extremely professional and friendly. A modest place but clean and well located. Comfortable bed, breakfast was fresh every day. I can definitely recommend it including family. Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. Def I'll be back.

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.

The Hoxton is perfectly located to explore the highlights of Amsterdam over a short weekend, although if I could base myself there for far longer, I would. The reception team are so friendly and welcoming. Our room (507) was sizeable and comfortable. It’s busy, buzzy and yet laid back all at once.

The location and room is good. They upgraded our room which is good and said that we have the best view, but there is no view as we are blocked by another building. Still, we are satisfied with the stay.
