This small hotel is hidden 10 min walk from the trainstation and we had a great stay there in April this year. The room was big with a great canalview and great service. Breakfast (served 8.30) was big enough for a good start in the morning. The hotel lies with a walkingdistance to most seeings, which is great because Amsterdam... more

We stayed in the Mandaarin room - it was incredibly clean, and the bathroom was HUGE! Separate tub and shower and huge space. It was also quiet, and in a perfect location. The two people that we interacted with that worked there were incredibly welcoming and helpful (they let us keep our stuff there after we checked out, etc). The... more

This hotel, built in 1682, is full of character and history, matching the olde world atmosphere of Amsterdam. We stayed in the Mondrian room on the top floor. It was spacious, clean and bright, with old style furniture. The bathroom was also very spacious. The windows gave us fresh air and fabulous views. Breakfast consisted of croissants, bread rolls, &... more

Stayed in the Brouwer last week for our 20th anniversary and loved it. Amsterdam is an expensive place to visit these days, and this hotel is brilliant value, when others aren't. We stayed in Escher on the top floor and were happy with the room. The bed was comfy, the bathroom large and clean and the views from the windows... more

What a find - a great little bed and breakfast hotel overlooking the canal. Very economical plus walk everywhere - Dam Square, Red Light District, Train Station, Anne Frank's house - would recommend. more

My daughter and I stayed in April 2009 and found the place great. We had a top floor room which was not an issue as there was a lift to get our luggage up to the room. Yes the lift is very small but after travelling through Europe and many places have many stairs and no lift, I would take... more

It was an interesting experience, but not one we look forward to repeating. This was our first bed-and-breakfast type of stay and if all are like this one, we wouldn't do it again. It's not that this hotel was bad, it just did not deliver to our expectations. So, just a caveat to others before selecting this hotel to know... more

Having come from another more modern and boring hotel - this was a breath of fresh air. The place has the air of a lot of Dutch paintings - beamed ceilings and dark furniture in an old canalside house. We stayed in the Vermeer room with a great view. Spotlessly clean, and atmospheric - my son aged 12 loved it... more

I am reluctant to write, for fear I will face competition the next time I want to stay here (but having secured a reservation for a return visit in August 2009, why not). The hotel is quite small, and often filled, so make your reservations early. No wonder, it enjoys a perfect location, exudes lots of quirky charm, and the... more
