Stayed there 8 years ago and really enjoyed the stay. It has changed hands a couple of times and has lost that warm comfortable feeling. Great location and neighborhood with #2 tram to the central station. Our room was very small and down some very narrow stairs. Among the staff, Elroi was the one pleasant experience. …
Stairs are steep and awkward but there’s a lovely friendly atmosphere here. The room was small and basic , a little tired in places but very adequate. Breakfast was good, plentiful and I enjoyed it. On offer is fruit, both in my room and in reception along with free tea and coffee. Wine, beer and soft drinks also available to purchase. I’d stay here again but would request a lower floor. …
We just spent three days at the “Magnolia” and enjoyed our stay. The best parts are the very friendly and helpful staff of this boutique hotel, and its wonderful location. We loved the neighborhood near beautiful Vondel Park, in easy walking distance to the museums and to many other places of interest. The very convenient #2 trams goes down this street and stops at the next corner. There are many nice restaurants, bars and markets a few steps away. This is a beautiful residential area. We had asked for a quiet room and got one on the third floor which indeed felt very private and secluded. (Others have already mentioned the multiple flights of very steep stairs which are not for the unfit and difficult to navigate with big suitcases. This is a classic Amsterdam townhouse with those steep stairs which leave no room for an elevator.) Our room was bright, spacious and aery with nice views over the neighboring rooftops. The not so good: 1) It was minimally furnished mid-century style which may be chic but is not practical: There were no closets, drawers or shelves where you could put your clothes and things, just a few hooks and clothes hangers. 2) The otherwise nice bathroom was very dimly lit. 3) It was quite cool during our August stay so we were comfortable with our fan. However I can imagine this room could get very hot and stuffy during a heatwave. We did not have the hotel breakfast which seemed overpriced to us. The tea/coffee maker in our room and the mini fridge we got on demand allowed us to make our own breakfast. The ground floor sitting room is comfortable and attractive, and fabulous coffee and refreshments are available to all guests throughout the day. On balance we were happy with our stay.…
A really lovely boutique style hotel. Such friendly helpful staff. Lovely breakfast. Clean and comfy rooms. Please note there isn't a lift in this place.50+ steps to the top floor... We managed to change rooms thankfully.
We booked this 3 star hotel for its location. If you want to be outside of the main city and close to the museums and Vondelpark this is great! The room was nice, staff very friendly and nice breakfast.
