"Great location. Large room. Staff very responsive, immediately attending to our inability to use the safe for example. Didn’t have breakfast but appreciated the coffee room to relax and wait in. Highly recommend "
A verified traveller stayed at Dikker & Thijs Hotel
"We spent a night before a river cruise and a night between cruises. The hotel is a very short walk fro Amsterdam Centre train station near the trams, trains and canal tours. It is also within walking distance of the river cruise piers."
