Museum De Zwarte Tulp Tours

Conveniently located within walking distance of the historic city centre. Second floor apartment within a traditional narrow canal-front townhouse. It is accessed up communal steep staircase from a main front door and is annexed to the main hotel next door. The apartment overlooks a very picturesque canal, which is the best feature together with the sizeable open plan living / dining / kitchen area. It has a comfortable double bedroom and a wet room. The kitchen area could use some minor repairs to drawer fronts, handles etc, but this didn’t affect our enjoyment. The hotel staff next door were very accommodating with check-in, check-out and leaving luggage. The rear bedroom overlooks an internal courtyard which is also overlooked by bedroom windows from the adjacent hotel. No particular issues, but meant some conversations from neighbouring accommodation could be heard clearly in the evening / night-time if windows were open. Overall would recommend.

The building is a jewel in the old part of Amsterdam. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Rooms are spacious. Ask to see the paternoster, a now very rare elevator.
