Tulip of Amsterdam

The accommodation in Nieuwmarkt is lauded for its central location near metro stations and safety. Guests appreciate the cozy, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and cleanliness. However, some mention noise disturbances.

Tulip of Amsterdam I know these reviews are meant to be short, but I need to take some time here. First, if I could give Tulip of Amsterdam 15 stars, I would. David and Jeremy made everything perfect—and that’s not an exaggeration! Responsive to the few questions we had (they made sure most everything was in place), the two obviously take pride in what they do. This was our first time in Amsterdam and we didn’t want a ‘regular’ hotel room. Some travelers may think the two (yes, there are only two) rooms are kind of ‘kitschy’ but we wanted something that reflected the area we traveled—not what we could find near home. The room was comfortable and cozy. We were very appreciative of the amenities and that we were invited to use the full kitchen/common area. The room we were in was at the top of the stairs (don’t be intimidated! but plan to not rush up or down them). It was toward the back of the building and that was wonderful because we had no street/canal noise. We would open a small window and hear the chiming of the church bells on the hour. The location is also a plus. Once we got our bearings, we were a 10-minute walk to Centraal Station, close to metro/tram lines (handy for the Rijksmuseum) and restaurants/markets everywhere! If you are planning a ‘first trip’ to Amsterdam, staying at the Tulip of Amsterdam is a must! I know we would look to staying here on our ‘next’ trip…if we are so lucky!

David is an excellent host who responded quickly to our need for a room due to an unexpected layover. The House from the 1600s is located next to a canal is near all the action but it it quiet and safe. The traditional room was clean and funky with some beers and chocolates included. A fantastic short stay !
