Hotel Larende

This small hotel was everything we needed for our holiday in Amsterdam. The location is perfect, it is surrounded by various restaurants (and a food hallen) which you could easily walk to. Tram 13 wasn’t working when we were there, but nonetheless transport was super efficient. A tram stop (Willem de Zwijgerlaan) is literally about 1 minute away from the hotel, which makes commuting super easy. Transport in Amsterdam is very efficient and frequent. The hotel staff was always very nice and helpful. They greeted us with a warm welcome every time we were back at the hotel. Our room was always clean, and towels were changed every day whilst we were out roaming the city. The room was small, but had everything we needed. The breakfast was quite simple, but it is more then enough; great coffee, cold cuts, cheese, toast, cereal, yoghurt, jams, croissants, fruit salad, eggs, juices. Simple yet great and filling. Having read a lot of reviews, and having been assigned a room facing the main road, I was afraid tram noises would be annoying - but they weren’t. We weren’t bothered by the tram sounds every so often. The view from our room at sunset - was beautiful. Our stay was lovely, and we had a blast visiting the city. Also, communication with the staff at the hotel was made very easy through booking.com chat and they answered all questions we had prior to arriving at the hotel.

Small comfortable hotel. Friendly staff, always ready to help. Excellent Wi-Fi. The main plus is that it is very clean! It’s nice when a three-star hotel has such snow-white towels and bed linen. The room was warm, there was a radiator (even in the bathroom) and air conditioning, so things that got wet in the rain dried very quickly. Another plus is the location. Walking distance to the center is only 15 - 20 minutes. The hotel is located on a street with trams. This did not bother me at all, but if you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room with windows facing the courtyard)).

I booked a superior spa room with a nice jacuzzi tub. Simple room, but comfortable with a peaceful balcony. The staff were amazing! They were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate my early starts and dietary needs. Good breakfast.

The hotel is a little out form the centre of the city. Tram stop is close to the hotel and so it is easy to get around the city. The hotel is kept very clean, and our room was cleaned every day. Our room was at the rear of the hotel and very quiet.

It’s a good location, just one easy tram ride away from central station. Walking distance from everything, but out of the busy tourist hustle that is the centre. Room was clean. Mattress was very soft and I prefer firm, but it was fine for two nights. The hotel also has a lift which is a bit of a rarity for Amsterdam. The breakfast was decent - what you usually get in Europe. Scrambled eggs, meats, cheeses, croissants & breads & spreads, cereal, juice. Bonus for the fresh ground coffee & proper coffee machine. Would stay again
