Hotel Not Hotel Amsterdam

you have to experience the hidden bookcase room with quirky charm and very nice staff warmth

Unique, cozy concept. Excellent hospitality.

This hotel met needs, we recommend to all. Everything was nice - central location and good service. The restaurant here was particularly good with great food and service, we both ordered savoury dishes. Had complimentary...  

It has knowledgeable employees with three different receptionists. The beds are comfy to sleep on.

Convenient and decent location, it is near a tram station. There is a good restaurant within walking distance of hotel.

Themed and beautifully designed rooms, the views were incredibly beautiful. There was comfy bed, supremely helpful staff with three different receptionists. It was in a stunning and incredible location, close to a tram station. ...  

quirky rooms with easy access to amazing parks and attractions

I loved how close this hotel was to Vondelpark. Walking to the nearby Rijksmuseum was so convenient and made for an very nice afternoon of art exploration.

The massive bed bug infestation forced me to leave in the middle of the night, marking this as my worst travel experience. The hotel's management was unresponsive regarding my security deposit issue.

Tales from the unexpected

Diving into a world of quirky solitude, I discovered the Secret Bookcase S. Though space was limited, the charm was undeniable. The bar served good cocktails while the shared bathrooms were unexpectedly tidy. Keep in mind, the compact layout may not suit everyone. A hidden gem for the adventurous traveler!

A Unique Experience Full of Character!

The atmosphere buzzed with creativity, with vibrant art everywhere. Enjoyed tasty meals at the restaurant, especially their hearty breakfasts. Don't miss chatting with the talented bartenders. Pro tip, opt for a larger room if space is on your mind!

Unexpected delights in a tiny room

The whimsical decor and vibrant atmosphere instantly captivated me. I loved the friendly staff and the unique cocktail options in the bar.

I was disappointed by the cramped room size and the communal bathrooms that lacked privacy, making it quite uncomfortable at times.

I stayed for 4 nights in the Secret Bookcase XL. The staff were lovely and helpful. The cocktails at the bar were excellent. Dining in the restaurant was a highlight, especially the Thai food. The location was convenient for...  

Unique themed rooms, artistic design throughout, lively night bar scene

The size of the rooms feels cramped!!! The communal bathrooms lack proper cleanliness and convenience!!!

Unique themed decor enhances the overall experience.

I was appalled by the poor ventilation in our room. The air quality was so stuffy that it felt suffocating, and the noisy ventilation system only added to the frustration. The communal bathrooms were inadequately stocked with essentials. It was utterly unacceptable that the designer of the room apparently never experienced the discomfort it imparted.

Unique themed rooms catch the eye, from hidden bookcases to eclectic decor that reflects a real sense of artistry. The lively bar next door offers excellent cocktails.

Room sizes leave much to be desired. Some are barely bigger than a closet. The communal bathroom setup can be awkward since you need to traverse a busy lobby to access it, especially when it's packed during evenings. Issues like insufficient ventilation and occasional strange odors can dampen the experience in the rooms without windows. Amenities often felt lacking-don't expect coffee makers or storage space within the tiny rooms, which might be a real inconvenience for longer stays.

would definitely book here again

I stayed in the Secret Bookcase M room for 3 nights. It had a shared bathroom with consistent hot water and was always clean. The unique design was super cool. Staff were amazing at giving local tips, and the bar's cocktails were on point. The whole vibe was cozy and lovely!
