Jan Luyken Hotel Amsterdam

"A beautiful home away from home Jan Luyken is on a lovely tree-lined street in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter, close to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Vondelpark. There are cafés, restaurants and shops nearby, making it a lovely base for exploring the city. The hotel felt very homely, with beautiful interior design. I was travelling on my own and felt comfortable throughout my stay. I chose a medium room with a little balcony, which was beautiful and very comfortable. Drinks were included in my stay, which was a lovely touch. There was also a complimentary laundry service for stays of more than six days. Most of the staff were absolutely wonderful and very welcoming. The only small thing was that one receptionist seemed a little disengaged and less welcoming than the rest of the team. A warmer approach would have made a difference, but this was a minor point in an otherwise beautiful stay. I would definitely return. A lovely home away from home."

"We enjoyed staying at this hotel. Very convenient for Rijksmuseum and other galleries, though not so convenient for the old town. Very pleased with our room, well worth the extra cost. Breakfast is a little idiosyncratic, but good selection of options and ample provision. Staff very cheerful and helpful. There is a good choice of restaurants nearby for evening meals, which seem very reasonably priced. If you like fish, the Seafood Bar is excellent (you will need to book for a table for 6pm-8.30pm)"

"Great hotel just a couple blocks from Museumplein, Amsterdam's best museums, and some really good restaurants. Breakfast, snacks, and an all-day (and night) self-serve bar are all included, and it's genuinely satisfying. The place has a small-hotel feel in the best way — the staff are friendly, easy to chat with, and quick to remember your name. Even during the recent heatwave, the small courtyard stayed pretty cool, making it a nice spot to relax with a drink from the bar. Despite being so close to major attractions, the hotel sits on a quiet street, so even the ground-floor rooms stay peaceful."
