I've kept this review purely focused on the hotel. If you want more general information about Amsterdam and it's surroundings I highly recommend the 'The Rough Guide'. The Synopsis does not meet the description of an 'hotel' in the normal sense. It would be better described as an upmarket guesthouse, as it lacks all the usual facilities one might expect... more

Honestly I chose this hotel after reading some TripAdvisor reviews, and the actual experience has been even better than what I was expecting at first. I will not add many details because a lot has been written already. I have traveled quite a lot for business, as well as for leisure, and I'd say I'm pretty fussy about hotels, especially... more

My husband and I stayed at Synopsis for a weekend in January. The rooms have everything you could possibly need. There is a small kitchen area that closes to look like a closet - the fridge is stocked with snacks and drinks (some are free some you must pay for - very reasonable prices). There is a computer with free... more

Large room, large marble bathroom, private garden, and many small touches make this hotel an unusually well priced luxury. more

We stayed at the Synopsis Hotel in Amsterdam in September 2007 with 2 more friends. All I can say is what a find! The hotel only has 3 rooms and we only booked it as we were struggling to find vacancies in Amsterdam for the days we were there. So glad we found this one and will definately stop there... more

We stayed for 3 nights mid June this year after trawling the internet for hours to find a suitable hotel. We arrived a little early for check-in, though were still welcomed by Elizabeth and given a map of Amsterdam with pointers as to where attractions/ restaurants etc were. Our room was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL- as nice as the pics on her... more

We spent a lovely three nights here in mid May. I booked well in advance and chose the more expensive room at the rear of the property with its patio doors leading through into a gorgeous leafy and flower filled private back garden (170 euro a night). I did shop around and although this tariff seems expensive it does compare... more

If the Synopsis were a hotel rather than a three apartment B&B, the establishment would no doubt rate 4 or more stars. Elizabeth, the manager/owner, runs a "tight ship"; no expense has been spared to make each apartment state-of-the-art in decor such as an in-the-room refrigerator, fully equiped kitchenette and a personal computer/internet. Our room -- the front -- faced... more

My husband and I, with two friends stayed at the Synopsis in June 2006. My first thought, was that it was expensive for a B&B but soon changed my mind. This is no ordinary B&B. The rooms were lovely and quiet and the bathroom was 5 star. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat only 10 minutes walk from... more
