Honey, I’m home!

Cute lobby.

Totally smiling.

This bed has the key to my heart.

One of the most environmentally conscious hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Love an Argan moment.

Love a succulent moment.

Time to hit the town and be a non-tourist tourist.

Look at these ceilings.

Steps away from the hotel.

Don’t dive in.

How about that sunset!!

Time for breakfast.

I don’t want to leave.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I stayed in the adorable/cozy/enchanting/sunkissed attic room. You’d think “attic room” would mean super dark, but the natural light was superb. I turned the AC off and opened the windows, which boasted cute neighborhood views, and where I witnessed an out-of-this-world the sunset.
The breakfast was fantastic. SET YOUR ALARM!
The service was FANTASTIC. Make sure to chat with the staff at the frontdesk. You’ll wanna be BFF.
This is what I’d call a traveler’s dream hotel. This is not a cheesy business hotel replete with a spa and a gym. Mr. Jordaan’s basically two canal townhouses with a renovated and a sleek and hip renovation. Super cozy, charming and comfortable. But Mr. Jordaan’s vibe is all about hitting the town and exploring. Make yourself a coffee, have a lovely breakfast, hit the town, come back and enjoy a great night’s sleep.

None for me. But if you’re a (boring) breakfast-in-bed and/or swanky hotel bar kind of traveler, go somewhere else. We don’t want you!

Total: 49/50

Type
17th century building transformed into a home-y and hip boutique hotel located in the heart of adorable, artsy neighborhood, Jordaan. And it’s like, four steps away from an enchanting 17th century, Instagram-friendly canal.
Vibe
It’s sort of like you’re staying in a luxe, impeccably decorated AirBNB townhouse on a very cute street in a very hip neighborhood. Sort of like a quieter West Village but with a gorgeous canal and not many tourists. History lesson: the founder basically invented AirBNB. In the ‘60s, he started renting out rooms to tourists which became a huge hit. Then it became a budget hotel for many years, before it was renovated and opened as the gorgeousness it is now in 2016.
Location
The hotel is located in the heart of Jordaan (where you’ll find coffee shops, quirky boutiques, art galleries, etc everywhere) alongside the Bloemgracht, a 17th century canal.
Rooms
34
Music
I can't remember!
Year Opened
It officially opened as the Mr. Jordaan hotel on April 1st, 2016.
Designed By
Designed by Moodmakers together with the owner’s wife.

Health & Wellness
No. It’s all about biking, as you’ll notice immediately when you step outside.
Restaurant
No, there’s a stylish kitchen by the lobby where a (delicious) continental Dutch breakfast is served daily. It’s a must. Countless restaurants and cafes steps away in this charming neighborhood. Ask the extremely friendly front-desk for suggestions.
Bar
No, but you’re in the cutest neighborhood in Amsterdam. Again, ask the super friendly staff at the front-desk for non-touristy suggestions.
Minibar
No, but free coffee/tea in the room. In the lobby, there’s an espresso machine that makes everything -- also free. And treats (like yummy Tony’s Chocoloney bars) for purchase at the front desk.
Children
I personally don’t love kids, but it seems kid-friendly.
Price
Very reasonable for a boutique hotel considering the awesomeness and uniqueness of the hotel and its neighborhood.
