Would definitely stay here again!
This place was amazing! We loved the staff as they were always so kind and helpful for any of our needs including recommendations for the city, hotel service, etc. It was such a cute place in a really great area close to the museums and it wasn’t a far walk to the rest of the city. The rooms themselves were perfect and comfortable with a nice shower. Perfect for two young women exploring Amsterdam!

A Hidden Gem
The patio of this hotel is an absolutely wonderful retreat in the midst of the city. The public spaces are comfortable and welcoming. The rooms are small but adequate. I would definitely stay here again.

Close to Everything!
We stayed on the 4th floor - it was a nice surprise that they had an elevator! Room was equipped with a fan (a necessity in Europe). Overall nice hotel in a great part of the city.

Really lovely and clean! A bit small but if you are traveling alone it’s totally comfortable. The walls are a bit thin so bring ear plugs!

Cozy hotel
The people working at this hotel are lovely. We had a great stay. The only thing I would tell others to thing about is the shower. The tub is not flat which makes it a little more difficult to use standing up. The wifi was also slow.
But I would stay here again, since it was easy to get to and had a cozy vibe.

We had a very nice stay here and would definitely stay again.
Very friendly and chatty on reception and it's a great location for getting around, decor slightly dated but nothing that bothered us in the slightest.

Short and sweet stay at the owl hotel
Lovely staff (Jessica and Samuel) , great location, very clean, rooms service/linens changed daily. Room had a portable fan which is good as the room had no built in fan/aircon (this might be normal in Europe I’m not sure)
Rooms were comfortable enough however no fridge and not soundproof so you can hear your neighbouring guests which can sometimes be a bother if you’re a light sleeper. Wasn’t really a problem for me.
They offer breakfast and also have a cute hotel cat :)
For me personally I need a fridge in the room, dining out is quite expensive in Amsterdam so a fridge is good for if you don’t want to dine out.
Another thing is they hold your room card every time you leave which is kinda weird but I guess they want to make sure there are no unknown guests or unwanted parties because of this they do have 24 hour reception.
If you don’t mind not having a fridge or a little noise then this is an awesome place to stay
