Hotel de Jonker

While lots of reviews of this hotel had issues with the access to the hotel/rooms that was the least of our issues. On the day we were emailed access at 3pm (check-in time) promptly and had no issues with access. The room however was another story. For starters the carpet is disgusting, doesn’t look like it’s ever been hoovered and so many giant silverfish. As a room that claims to be a studio with a fully equipped kitchen this is also far from true. While there is a hob, dishwasher and microwave there is not pots and pans to use on the hob, a single fork, no knives and a single spoon, so good luck trying to cook or eat anything, but you have got 15 plates for some reason. We contacted the hotel about this and received no response. The stairs down to the bedroom are incredibly steep, any accessibility issues would not be suited to this room. This also means the head of the bed is directly under the entrance to the hotel meaning when people check out at 5am you are also awake. There is also a boiler in a cupboard under the stairs which makes a very loud noise for about 10 seconds every hour, including all through the night. Honestly lovely location but would never stay again.

there was an initial struggle to find the apartment at late night due to low street light and small signboard at the entrance, together with confusing for awhile to how to open the main door due to the digital key app is in Dutch instead of English. The other fellow travelers arrive later and able to get in after they open the main door. Other than those two incidents, the apartment suite is Exceptional. Large bedroom with full room width glass and lots of light for the morning, kitchenette, espresso machine, and a small dishwasher make it ideal if I stay longer next time. a separate small room with couch and larger TV is ideal also. The choice of shampoo, conditioner, handwash using Ritual is perfect match. PROs: quiet location, easy access to tram, next to the park, spacious room, kitchenette with espresso machine and small dishwasher, separate room with couch and larger TV, room length glass with lots of lights and blackout curtains. CONs: at late night, the building is not easy to find due to low street light and tiny signboard not easily visible. the description for the sliders in the digital key app is only in Dutch without English and it is initially struggling to open the main door. Verdict: other than small glitches mentioned in the CONs for the initial arrival, it is a perfect place in AMS. I would stay there again.

Good clean smart and quiet place, near to the center

Very dirty, shower that didn’t drain causing it to flood the bathroom. Kettle that still had water from the previous people. Less than half a toilet roll left by the previous people. No lock on bathroom. Generally just dirty and dusty. Tv in bedroom not working. Contacted them and got no reply. Very bad experience do not recommend
