Zederik Vacation Packages

This property is a very short walk to Central Station. Restaurants and bars are literally out the front door and very plentiful. The staff is friendly. There is a coffee bar with croissants, teas and a coffee/espresso machine. My gripe is with the shower. First the stall is very small. I had an issue either the water temperature adjustment making its way to full hot, which is too hot for me. I sorted this out with a towel on day 1 and reported it. Was told that it was fixed only to have the same issue the next day. Reported it again and was told by staff that they would have it fixed. Again sorted it with a towel the next morning and reported it again. Well my towel was still fixing the issue upon my return, so maybe they fired the maintenance guy who couldn’t sort out the issue. Otherwise, would have been 4 or even a five if there wasn’t someone else’s hair in the shower on day 1.

NEW FAVORITE HOTEL CHAIN

Quaint and comfy. Beautiful neighborhood. Appreciated the lemon and mint water and 24/7 coffee/espresso in the lobby.

We chose the Hotel Okura Amsterdam for its proximity to our daughter's home while we visited her. The location in De Pijp is extremely walkable to many wonderful restaurants and bars. A train station is very close as well. The hotel is fabulous, situated on a canal and beautifully decorated. Lots of comfortable seating in the lobby area to stretch out and wait for friends. Our room was large and very comfortable with a king sized bed, desk, two chairs with a table and a large bath. We opted for spa access with our reservation. The spa is quiet and relaxing and our massages and facials were top-notch. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the pool area is a perfect place to chill after trying the sauna or steam room. Be forewarned that the main sauna and steam room are towels only so if sharing a space with a nude stranger wrapped only in a towel is not your cup of tea, there is a separate, smaller sauna room that requires swimwear. The desk provides robes and towels when you check in and there are separate locker rooms with full amenities, as well as a lounge area with teas and beverages. The staff here is wonderful; everyone we came in contact with was kind and helpful. We will definitely stay at the Hotel Okura Amsterdam again.

I've stayed here twice. It's a lovely hotel with a boutique feel. The rooms are unique. The staff are excellent, before, during and after your stay. The spa, is under construction, but you cam still get services. I would stay here again!
