Municipality of Appingedam Scuba Diving Holidays

The lodge was spotlessly clean! Everything we needed for the week was there! Thank you for accommodating us with our separate and late arrivals

If you want to experience what it is like to live in Amsterdam this is the perfect place to stay. It’s more of an apartment than hotel style. So much room and loved the small kitchen area. So much better than the typical hotel stay. Close to all attractions with everything in easy walking distance but in a very quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing to consider is that it has every narrow stairs so suitcases can be a challenge but this would not stop me from staying again. We loved every minute and felt like we were at home.

If my heaven were a hotel, this would be it. Gorgeous historic building, sumptuous linens, super helpful and friendly desk attendants and bar/restaurant staff, and a terrific location for exploring. When I arrived, it was very cold and drizzling, but I was welcomed warmly and immediately taken up to my lovely room. The room included a huge deep tub, which felt amazing after a transcontinental flight, and while I soaked, the built-in towel warmer made the super-fluffy towels extra cozy. (Water pressure and heat was excellent, btw, which isn't always the case w/ historic properties.) Basics like the bed, room temp, lighting, WIFI, and clothing storage were all thoughtfully appointed and perfectly functioning. No noise issues. I appreciated the in-room espresso set up, and room service was quick and delicious for the one meal I had through the hotel restaurant. The bar area was comfy and chic -- velvet reading chairs and little cafe tables. I wished I'd had more time to enjoy it. Location felt very safe to use as a home base, which was important to me as a solo female traveler. In the evenings, walking back to the hotel was a treat, as you could glimpse stunning interiors inside the beautiful old townhomes all along the canal. A few blocks in one direction was a charming street full of small bistros and shops; the other direction led to the 'Nine Streets' area, which is full of shopping delights and cute restaurants. I would stay here again in a second. Fabulous.

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