Outstanding Hotel - VERY helpful Front DESK Staff
Was visiting Amsterdam for a business trip (1 day stay before heading to another citiy for a conf). The Owl Hotel was a great place to stay - centrally located and nice clean room, along with excelltent breakfast (there was outside seating in the patio which was a nice option on sunny mornings). The Front Desk Staff (Olga) was very helpful with places to eat, and transit to the Central Train Center. First rate staff with excellenent skills, friendly, and knowleagable.

A Hidden Gem
The patio of this hotel is an absolutely wonderful retreat in the midst of the city. The public spaces are comfortable and welcoming. The rooms are small but adequate. I would definitely stay here again.

Would definitely stay here again!
This place was amazing! We loved the staff as they were always so kind and helpful for any of our needs including recommendations for the city, hotel service, etc. It was such a cute place in a really great area close to the museums and it wasn’t a far walk to the rest of the city. The rooms themselves were perfect and comfortable with a nice shower. Perfect for two young women exploring Amsterdam!

Really lovely and clean! A bit small but if you are traveling alone it’s totally comfortable. The walls are a bit thin so bring ear plugs!

We stayed on the 4th floor - it was a nice surprise that they had an elevator! Room was equipped with a fan (a necessity in Europe). Overall nice hotel in a great part of the city.

Very friendly and chatty on reception and it's a great location for getting around, decor slightly dated but nothing that bothered us in the slightest.
