We had a lovely stay at Dikker & Thijs Hotel in Amsterdam. With a room on the first floor and third floor we had some nice canal views and being on the corner there was always action to watch: bikes, pedestrians, transit and canal boats.
The morning breakfast was delicious with a few hot options and plenty of baked treats and continental breakfast buffet options. The servers were always very friendly and accommodating.
When we arrived the first evening, our first floor room was too warm and the third floor room had a light not working in the bathroom and the sheets on the sofa bed were questionably clean?? The front desk was notified and the bathroom light fixed and bedding changed. Unfortunately there was not much of change to the temperature of our first floor room but turning the temps down on the radiators and thermostat helped a little. Windows on this floor also didn’t open as they were covered with something we assumed helped with noise control. The third floor room windows opened, which was lovely, but also a little more street noise came in. Being an old building we also had issues with hot & cold in the showers but it was manageable. The third floor room’s bathroom could use some TLC.
The location is nice as many restaurants and shops are within walkable distance. It is very close to Leidseplein, which is a very busy area Friday & Saturday evenings. Sadly the streets are a mess Saturday & Sunday mornings from the nightlife just throwing their garbage wherever.
