Pension Homeland was a delightful and slightly quirky stay! The building is a repurposed naval office building located directly beside what is now a park, and right on the water near the riverboat docks, all of which give it that slightly quirky, but thoroughly enjoyable, vibe. The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful to those on their first visit to Amsterdam. They helped us manage jet lag by allowing us to check in several hours early, aided us in planning transportation to area sites, warned us about issues we might not otherwise have expected, loaned us electrical transformer plugs when ours did not fit, and were generally warm and welcoming. The room was very clean, but basic. No AC, but with windows that open wide, as well as fans it was very comfortable for us. Nice shower with ample hot water. The restaurant served excellent cappuccino and very good dinner and breakfast—and was obviously well-liked by the local community so make reservations for dinner! The only drawback is that because of its proximity to a popular local park, on a Friday night there is a lot of noise. Not annoyingly loud, but pretty constant and well past 10 pm since the sun doesn’t set until 10:30 in July!! All in all, we felt we had a more authentic Dutch experience by staying here—we recommend it!

This is my 2nd year staying at Pension and I absolutely love it here! The front desk staff are very friendly and willing to help with anything you need.

The restaurant and bar is also amazing. Very fresh food and cold drinks.

Also, they have a hotel cat named Amy who I love!!!! ❤️

The hotel is away from all of the chaos of the city center, but still close so that you can walk pretty much anywhere where you want to go. Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay there next summer! 🥰

Staff was absolutely amazing. Bar and restaurant was great. Please be mindful that the building is historic and does not have AC. It was quite brutal during a heat wave. However a small desk fan was provided, staff and location made up for the heat. Would definitely stay at this property at a different time of the year again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, bit off the tourist trail and one of the city's best-kept secrets. The locals love the area, perfect for relaxing and unwinding away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. About a 10 minute walk to Centraal Station. The food and drinks in the restaurant were excellent, we had breakfast and dinner here and loved both. Staff really pleasant and polite, a good bunch. One thing to be aware of, the stairs are steep and there are a lot of them. They have a lift but it's jut about the slowest mechanical thing ever built so not much use in a hurry! Would definitely recommend and will always look to see if they have rooms available from now on

We stayed two nights after finding this ourselves instead of relying on a travel agent. It gives a real Netherlands experience instead of the more common international hotel chains. It is a quirky place in a fabulous location and we enjoyed watching the activity on the water while sitting in sunshine drinking beers from the onsite brewery. The food in the restaurant was good too and service time reasonable considering it was full.

I almost want to keep this gem to myself but it’s too good not to share. Fabulous, unique stay in the adapted former Naval officers’ accommodation. Original 60s interiors with lots of solid wood furniture revamped with interesting design features. Facilities in the rooms are fairly basic, no tea and coffee or mini bar for example, but very comfy beds, spotlessly clean rooms, light, airy and warm with super-efficient radiators and gallons of high pressure hot water. Staff are fun and friendly, great restaurant/cafe with excellent food including local specialities (try the “three in the pan” for breakfast and the Apple pie!) Very groovy bar with microbrewery. Appears to be a real local hub as well as serving hotel clients and live music is a feature but not too loud or too late. The absolute highlight for us as open water swimmers was the swimming area in front with 2 saunas in the winter, where we were welcomed with open arms by local swimmers. All this 25 minutes stroll from central station and the heart of town. Very reasonably priced. What’s not to like?

A little out of the way, but at 1am I appreciate that I am next to a dog park and not a coffee shop or bar, and the walk to city center is maybe 15 minutes. If you live with a morning coke drinker be advised no soda's are served on site but the coffee is excellent. Can't wait to come back

Look past the disagreeable receptionist ...

Clean, kitchy 60s style previous naval officers quarters, with individually painted murals in all the rooms, plus other art works on display. Bed was very comfortable, food good.

One major issue was the receptionist who was persistently irritable and disagreeable. It was a shame as everyone else was friendly and pleasant.

This was a horrible room. The end table were stools.. not old or classy stools. The lights beside the bed were plastic boxes with Christmas tree white bulbs Everything was mismatched and worn. It should not be listed on Travelocity. The sheets were clean and the bathroom appeared newly done. We were next to barb wire fences and it appeared the hotel was also being used as university or other housing. This was not a cheap room and I should receive a refund. It was a mess!

There is a hilarious sarcastic morning host at the front desk. This place has a funky retro vibe and the bar plays great music. Rooms are clean and comfortable and lots of windows. The family room is nice in that the parent’s bed is separated somewhat by a wall and closet for privacy. Outside are the public swimming lanes of Amsterdam harbour and garden tables which are lovely to sit at and have a drink. All the serving staff are very friendly. This is a little gem just outside of city centre where there are nice lawns and it is away from traffic in general. It is very picturesque. Much more affordable than rooms downtown though probably not for travellers seeking a luxury experience. I definitely want to come back and see some live music next time and would use this as my home base again. While the property is great for the budget as an accommodation the food and drink is not inexpensive, but it is of better value in quality than you will find at tourist spots in the city centre.

A quirky hotel with a clean room, friendly front desk staff (Larissa was awesome!), and a cat! Loved the story of how she got her name, Amy Winehouse. Food in the restaurant was tasty. Little further from city center than we expected, but easily reached by public transport or Uber. Elevator a little slow, but the let you know that when you check in 😉.

Stay away

not at all a 4 or 5 star hotel- Was very disappointed in the place, thought it had AC, no coffee makers in room.Service in the restaurant was basically non -existent. They don't acknowledge you when you enter or bring you a menu.I could not get hot water in the shower on my night of arrival. When I reported it the next day, the desk clerk told me not taking a shower after traveling all day was not necessary.

Beautifully situated between a park and a canal, the hotel is still within walking distance from the central train station. The restaurant and bar were both great, and the staff was helpful and friendly. My single room was small but well equipped, and the bathroom was modern. I am hoping for a chance to stay there again.

Quick stopover

20 min walk from station and in a quiet area. Room more basic than I expected and needed to have window open due to heat and found a bit noisy. This probable due to people tragic from nearby festival. Tea/ coffee on landing well stocked and meal I had in restaurant was good. Clean and staff friendly/helpful.

Lovely and home-y feel ☺️

This hotel was lovely , first thoughts when arriving , outer area isn't what one would expect. Atmosphere is older Amsterdam feel. The receptionist was so very kind and helpful with arriving early , she arranged a sooner checkin . The room is good size and beds so comfy ! Added touch on our floor was a nice little kitchenet where we could make our own coffee , kettle supplied and filled water decanters . A laundry tub to wash items if needed . There is a restaurant within as well as an outdoor patio . Great location !!

Pension Homeland is a fabulous hotel with lots of local and artistic charm. There's so many cute details like the model ships on top of the elevator, the unique wall paintings, the animal display in the host stand, the twinkling lights on the building that look like the Eiffel Tower, and of course, the feline hostess Queen. I just really enjoyed the vibe of the place overall. I felt like I was on a summer euro trip in the 60's there.
The Restaurant was also really good. I would highly recommend getting breakfast there or even just a drink and a snack. They play great music and the servers are all really cool. I didn't get a chance to try the brewery but I did get to swim off the dock during the heat wave. Also a new experience for me! Btw, there wasn't AC in the building as with most of Europe so be weary of the hotter days as the rooms get very stuffy. I happen to go the week they were having temps over 30 degrees celsius.
Overall, I had a very nice week at Pension Homeland. I would gladly stay there again during a future trip to the city. Everyone was so nice and I really enjoyed all the locals. Good vibes all around.

We opted to stay here because of the proximity to the cruise ship dock. We thought we'd be able to walk to the ship, however, the cobblestone streets made that challenging with our luggage, so we opted to take a taxi.

The hotel was quite a distance from the museums in the heart of Amsterdam that we wanted to visit, making for expensive cab rides. In hindsight, I'm not sure this was the best choice for our needs.

It's a cool place in an interesting part of Amsterdam, very convenient to the Central train station with good walking and restaurants along canals for a typical Amsterdam neighborhood experience. Looking out from the room, you can see people swimming and boating and beautiful views of some modern and older buildings. It's not what most Americans would consider a typical hotel - the rooms are a bit like a college dorm or conference center (as expected). No air conditioning if that matters to you but the window opens and there was a fan and even on a hot day I was comfortable. The staff is notably friendly and helpful. I did not have a chance to eat any meals there but you can basically eat and drink all day. Definitely recommend and I will stay here again when I'm in Amsterdam.

Great hotel

We had a great 2 nights traveling with my husband and two daughters. This hotel is so funky and cool- off the beaten path but close enough to walk everywhere in Amsterdam. You can also sit and watch the sunset from the back deck over the water- it felt like a beautiful refuge from downtown but only a 10 minute walk. The family room was also great- really spacious, bathroom was excellent- best family room we stayed in across 4 cities on our trip. And the staff was all kind and responsive. We felt like we were really staying in an authentic place.

This is a really cool place. We had an interesting arrival, not sure if we came in the back door. It is a little strange at first, you walk into a military base that looks nothing like where a hotel will be. Once you enter and see the decor, restaurant and most of all...location to the harbor with fun activities, walks on the water, food and entertainment. We were very sorry to miss many of these activities since we only were able to stay one night. I would definitely go back and stay longer.

Fun spot, located a bit on the outskirts

Fun spot for sure, dated but clean. Short walk from train station (about 17 mins if you are a fast walker). However we had some issues.

Baggage hold area is next to front desk but seems to be located in an area a few people may have access and when you ask to leave baggage they open the door and let you drop/pick-up yourself, no tagging...so bit of a risk there if you have valuables in your bags.

Our room, although dated as expected seemed pretty clean. However in the queen bed someone had slept underneath the sheets directly on the mattress cover and it had clearly not been washed. There were fresh spots of blood, hair, etc. Luckily we had booked the family room so we slept in the two single beds instead (it was just one night and we had no spare time left in our day to manage). I'm actually shocked room cleaning pulled dropped fresh sheets on this, it was clearly dirty.

So we'll give it three stars.

Area is pleasant near marina. Our hot water heater trickled all night. Quite annoying. Thought that was normal but our travel mates didn’t have that problem. Wanted to make sure there were no pets in rooms and was told not. However a cat lives in this hotel so I was not comfortable being in the common areas like the restaurant. My allergies to cats is severe. Pleasant stay otherwise. About 20 min walk to train station.

Gem of a hotel!

We stayed 1 night prior to boarding a river cruise. I wish we had booked for the week after the cruise as well! It seems \"out of the way\" on first impression (we walked from Central Station with luggage) but after getting oriented we realized it was in a perfect place for walking into the centre of the old town. The route felt safe, and was free of road traffic and lead directly to the Oosterdoc. The room had a very comfortable and clean queen bed and very new and easy to use shower with great water pressure. Lots of space for clothing. Good blinds kept the light out for sleeping post a transatlantic flight. There was a lovely clean sitting area where you could make tea or coffee, sit in a comfy couch and read on every floor. The hotel's decor was vibrant, artsy and nautical, and the cafe/bar had a lovely vibrant and colourful atmosphere. The hotel is situated in a park right beside the Maritime Museum which adds to its charm. They accommodated our need for luggage storage for a few hours after our stay which is always a bonus when travelling. Would stay there again at any time!

We arrived from a long flight and were offered luggage storage, then, when 1 room became available, were able to check in early and wait for the 2nd room. Very friendly staff, great location to walk along canals and into central. Great view from our rooms, lots to watch. Had dinner and breafast, both meals enjoyed. Would highly recommend staying here.
