Kooyk Hotel is very well located for local museums, bars, restaurants and public transport or 30 min walk into city centre. Property is a bit tired and could use renovation but staff were very helpful.
Not worth the good location! Instructions were unclear from the start, there were stains on the bedsheets, room was not properly cleaned (dust and mosquitoes dead on the walls), the shower didn't work properly, the handsoap they left was so watered down we might as well have used just water, they left one and a half rolls of toilet paper for 4 people and only two towels, the staff looked moody... I could keep going but am getting riled up thinking about it so in summary: I can not stress enough how much I would NOT recommend this place.
The property is in a great location. Close to many attractions. However, the pictures on your website looked nothing like our postage stamp sized room. Our room was hot and airless. We had a courtyard room-the courtyard housed the garbage bins and brooms. Had to ask twice for a hairdryer (as mentioned on their website). Originally told there were no hairdryers. The television did not work, nor did the fan. The bed was smaller than a double. We had three sleepless nights. One would need to be desperate to book this hotel again.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Super friendly staff, lovely room and general cleanliness was brilliant. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps the beds were a little uncomfortable - not the mattress, but when you would turn on them it would feel like the whole thing was going to topple. Apart from that, the view from our window, use of the shower and toilet and it's closeness to the city centre made this trip stress-free and very enjoyable.
Pierre and Mary were absolutely amazing and they really try to comfort you and meet your expectations. Extremely friendly, chatty and funny and they accommodate to your every need. I’ve enjoyed my stay here and would come again.
Excellent stay. Lovely location. All clean and tidy. However beds really soft which struggled to sleep as double bed was also two singles pushed together.
I would never stay here again. €250 + for a place where u come in exhausted wanting to go to your room. They have to email you and then you can pay the city tax. What if an older person booked and came and didn’t have an email? So inefficient. Room is tiny. Bed is horrible. Got bit overnight. Have huge bite marks on left thigh. No air con. Tiny desktop fan. I would never ever pay that much money for a place like this. I don’t even think I would stay here for €50. Staff was nice. Owner really needs to make huge changes. Very very very disappointed.
Had just one option of a bathroom outside of the room, but was for me only to use, thou clean got flooded within few min of shower. Staff was great and straight. She let me checked in earlier as the people left earlier from my room which was the best thing ever

The staff at this hotel are super helpful and friendly. I suggest only booking a room with a bathroom in it. The bathroom we had to use was so tiny it was hard to use. Overall it was ok, they could do a few minor upgrades like, more than two hooks in the room to hang your cloths, a fan when it's hot and a hook or two in the separate showers to hang your clothes while showering. If you have trouble with stairs be warned, the steps are very narrow.
Lovely rooms, the rooms are spacious but the toilets and showers are tiny! Nothing bad though, just a heads up. Also you can hear your neighbors most of the time but other than that it’s pretty peaceful

We had a very good stay at the hotel. The location is excellent—very central—and the shared bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Our room was quite spacious and had a lovely view of the canals. The older gentleman who welcomed us (unfortunately I don’t remember his name) was very kind and friendly.
If I had to mention something less convenient, it would be the narrow staircase, which might be challenging for guests with heavy luggage or limited mobility, as well as the number of doors to reach the room. We were only given towels on the last day, thanks to the cleaner who kindly left us a couple.
Overall, I would still recommend this hotel: it’s clean, centrally located, and very accessible

Good location for museums & park
As a budget hotel in a very popular tourist area Kooyk Hotel was ok. Comfortable, clean bed, with bathroom for own use, and a friendly welcome on arrival. Remember to take flip flops or similar as our bathroom was a few metres down a corridor. Room was very small, stairs very steep and narrow (both the width of the staircase & the depth of stair tread) so tricky for anyone with limited mobility. Decor just seemed tired and only just about ok. Did not try the breakfast but breakfast room looked nice. Tram at Leidesplein about 5 mins walk (links including central station). Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum a pleasant stroll away (through the park, if you like). Nice bars & restaurants nearby.
Everywhere was clean, no problems there. It was a minimalist room with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. There was an area as part of the hotel to get food and drink at the appropriate times which was simple. Unfortunately due for time we were unable to partake on the breakfast (which was available for a reasonable price added, especially being in Amsterdam which can be quite pricey) but it sounded lovely. Homemade pancakes were an option that nearly tempted me to miss a flight.
The hosts were attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. As well as just being generally a delight to chat to.
For a private room/bathroom, options of breakfast, wonderfully friendly owners, basically in the centre of Amsterdam.. it couldn't have been any better. Would definitely come again.
The owners of the hotel were so deceptive. If you look on their add you will still see that they offer breakfast. When we arrived and asked about breakfast the excuse was that we arrived late and they needed our reservation for breakfast made earlier. We heard they say the same thing to other guests upon arrival. After speaking with employees of this hotel they confirmed they do NOT provide breakfast, not even for purchase and haven’t done so for a very long time.
Also we let them know there is no running water in the sink of one of the bathrooms, no light above the mirror in our room, the hair blower did not work and the pillows are small and lumpy. They said they would fix the items but never did during our 3 night stay. Also, we asked for some heat as it was very damp (temperature outside was down to 14C at night and 16C during the day). Their response was they couldn’t do it until the fall. Others were wearing coats and staff sweaters.
The great thing about this hotel is the location.
I do not recommend this place because of their deception overall. They don’t care about their guests but sure do like taking our money.
