Great hotel, close to restaurants and venues

They had really good buffet breakfast. Room was neat and very close to tram stop

This was, I think, my fifth time staying at Hotel 717, and every visit feels special. I have stayed in a different room each time, and this time I was on the main floor, which I loved because we were so close to the wonderful people who look after us, especially Giorgio and Patrick :) This stay, my daughter Lauren and I travelled from Canada to Amsterdam to meet our dear friends, another mother and daughter who flew in from Vienna. The four of us were there to see Harry Styles, and Hotel 717 became our beautiful home away from home. The location is perfect, close to so many lovely parts of Amsterdam (including the MOCO Museum, Jordaan and De Pijp neighbourhoods), while still feeling peaceful and welcoming upon return. One morning, because of jet lag, Lauren and I woke up at 05:00 and decided to walk to nearby Vondelpark. As we left, it wasn’t even 06:00 yet, and there was Giorgio arriving to begin his shift. It was such a sweet moment and somehow captured the feeling of the whole stay. We feel like we have known him for years. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the beds are extremely comfortable, and I highly recommend breakfast in their gorgeous breakfast room. Each morning, Giorgio spoiled us with many kopje koffies while we had a chance to chat with other travellers. Hotel 717 is charming, elegant, comfortable, and close to everything. We love it so much and are always reminded why we keep coming back.

Great room for families - sofa bed was not the comfiest though and room was a little tired. Rest of the hotel was great, breakfast was good too.

This was hands down the nicest hotel I have ever stayed out.

We loved this hotel. It is a boutique property with unique and lovely styling. The surrounding area is postcard perfect! It is situated on a canal street and is an easy walk to almost anywhere. For longer distances, the tram (which is easy to use - just tap your cc when you get on and when you get off) is only a few blocks away. There are restaurants and shopping in the immediate area. In the area are the Negen Straatjes shopping area, the Anne Frank House (make advance reservations), markets, easy walk to Dam Square and just about anywhere. There also is a Jumbo market across the canal. The hotel offers guests a happy hour from 4-6 each day with drinks and snacks free of charge. The staff is lovely. Our room was large, comfortable and had windows that opened. There is AC and heat. There is no elevator. As is common in most buildings in Amsterdam, most of the stairs are narrow and steep. This can be a challenge for those with mobility issues and for those who bring heavy luggage. This situation is common in Amsterdam, even in restaurants, so don't be surprised. We would happily stay here again.

Very nice hotel and staff. Great location.

Good breakfast and had a place to keep your bags safe after check out
