Great value but not for light sleepers.

Really good value hotel for the area. All reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Location was well connected to the airport and there were a lot of bars and restaurants within 5mins walk. The room was clean and comfortable and I was able to find several TV shows in English. Good hot shower too. My main criteria for the hotel is however based on how well I sleep. I found the hotel noisy from inside and outside on the Friday and Saturday. The room was also particilarly hot which didn't help.

A fine hotel for a short stay. But the booking on their website offering queen beds or two twins is misleading as either booking lands you with two twin beds smashed together in the center of the room. The breakfast is also a complete scam. It is 17 euros per person per day, not that this is advertised or disclosed anywhere, for little more than toast and cold cereal.

We stayed at the Owl Hotel for 3 nights at the end of December 2024. The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood, but was still walkable to some of the more popular spots. Every staff member was so friendly and accommodating, especially my favorite member of the staff: Basel the cat. The rooms are small but functional and everything was very clean and comfortable. I saw some other reviews stated that the walls were thin and neighbors could be heard, but we didn't have any issues with that. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay in Amsterdam!!

I enjoyed my stay at the Owl Hotel. They have a friendly cat Basille there, partly why i chose to stay here :) hotel is clean, has small elevator and cute backyard. I stayed on 3rd floor and unfortunately wifi was very spotty and wouldnt work for more than 5min at a time. Also wouldnt work if you are laying in bed, had to find a corner where it would but again only for like 5min. Reception said they reset the router but it didnt help much. Maybe invest in stronger router or set one on each floor. Its 2024! Ridiculous to not have internet. Also crappy water pressure, but i hear it’s like that everywhere in Europe. I feel sorry for you, guys. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Great location and bus 357 takes you to/from airport in 40min door to door. No transfers needed. And only €6.75. If i’m ever again in Amsterdam, I will stay here again.

Clean room. Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff A few little things to note-phone and safe didn’t work. However, we were given a locked safe downstairs. Also, a mini fridge in rooms would be mice. Overall great stay!

Not worth staying unless trying to save money

Overall find a better stay for the cost in Amsterdam. Booked 2 double bed rooms and when arrived, they did not have enough double bed rooms. The hotel is very loud since it’s old so you hear all the plumbing, doors closing and conversations in the hallways. Beds were very soft and not comfortable. Also no AC (though that’s fairly common in Europe). Neighborhood is good but can definitely find better options for the cost.
