Our first trip to Amsterdam and we chose an excellent base, (Thanks to my fellow contributors) Hotel's in the city are expensive even by London standards and to be fair, Owl is also pricey but the positives more than made up for this. The welcome was warm and this theme continued throught out our stay. The staff (family) could not... More

So friendly, clean, good location. Get the 167 bus from Schipol to Leidsplein and it's a five minute walk - no need to spend a fortune on taxi or train! Free internet and lots of helpful advice about getting around the city. Recommend the Amsterdam pass - I saved over 55 euros!

We arrived to a very friendly welcome,which continued throughout our stay. You really know you are in a family run hotel with a lot of repeat visitors. Location peaceful, but within walking distance of all the main attractions, the newly reopened Rijksmuseum being five minutes away. Rooms are cosy and comfortable but without over the top luxury, ideal for a... More

My single room was clean, comfortable and cozy. The location is very close to the museums and only a short walk from the center. Yet no street noise! All the staff members were very kind and friendly. The hotel has an elevator and a desktop computer with a free internet. The continental breakfast was fresh and varied. The drawbacks were... More

Just outside the main bustle of Amsterdam, but within a 20 minute walk to anywhere in the city and with the attractive Vondelpark at the end of the road. The Owl is a really friendly, family run hotel, tucked away in a quiet and pleasant street. The rooms are fairly basic, but were perfect for our requirements and the ensuite... More

We looked on line at the reviews and it was well received. The reality was just a good. Good rooms, not too hot inside and the ability to open a window is always nice. The service from the desk staff was great and they were always available to offer tips on where to go and what too see. It was... More

The location is great. Our room facing the garden was quiet. Room furnishings were a little spartan, e.g. No Kleenex, no coffee maker, not enough light. The bath/shower was good and the bed was comfortable. We had to leave for the airport before 730am so cannot comment on the breakfast. If you don't expect too much you won't be disappointed... More

Just returned from a weekend stay with friends at this hotel, we shared a quad room which was spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome, this is my 2nd trip to the hotel but was a 1st for my friends and partner. I would always recommend this hotel for staying in Amsterdam.

The owl hotel is a great option if you want to stay in a really good location in Amsterdam, it is situated next to the vondelpark and is only a short walk from the Liedseplein. Hotel is very nice, clean and with friendly service and willingness to be helpful, Breakfast is fine, not the most exciting but does have a... More
