I enjoyed this place immensely. It was close to everything and yet just far away from the loud hustle and bustle. Super convenient location. My only qualm was they can likely update the carpet and add some AC in the rooms and a few minor comforts and asthetics couple help elevate it. But if you want quaint and charming and a nice get away then this place is for you.

The Owl Hotel is a delightful, cozy, and well located hotel. The reception desk is manned 24-7 and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The Owl theme decor was fun and Basel the cat was the best amenity. The hotel is in an older building and has its idiosyncrasies, but suited our family quite well for our time in Amsterdam.

Wonderful staff and the hotel is located within walking distance of everything that you would want (food, bar, tourist attractions). The morning breakfast was very good! Our trip was during an unexpected heatwave at the hotel, which does not include air conditioning, however, the hotel included a fan which was very nice and helped us enjoy our trip. I would go back again.

I loved the location of this hotel! It's a 20 minute bus ride from the Amsterdam central train station and just a 5 minute walk from the bus stop.
You can easily walk to the less touristy and beautiful Jordaan area from the hotel!
There's also a reliable and affordable airport bus right around the corner from the hotel.
It's a charming old hotel which has very thin walls so if you're a light sleeper like me, you may be disturbed by your neighbour's cough, snoring,etc.

A wonderful surprise, this boutique hotel was a great place to stay while visiting Amsterdam. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms cozy and comfortable after a day on the town. It was quiet, good for a nap while recovering from jet lag. The location is great, close to interesting streets of restaurants, the main museums and the trams for visiting the rest of Amsterdam.

Wonderful, friendly staff! Great location - close to a great park, excellent breakfast nearby for pancakes, near public transportation, close to museums, short walk to the canal, etc. The rooms were small and not modern at all, and our shower left quite a wet spot on the bathroom floor. However, we did not mind this, rather I mention this to travelers seeking modern amenities. There was a cat that lived in the lobby (I think his name was \"Percy\"). We loved that there was a house cat in this hotel. Would stay here again because the staff was amazing and there's a cat!

We loved everything about our stay at the Owl Hotel. It is a lovely boutique hotel in a great neighborhood. Easy walk to museums including Van Gogh, bars, restaurants, trams and canal cruises. Very lovely courtyard in the back. Breakfast was available though I didn’t eat there. A bar available for a night cap at the end of the day. And all the staff were friendly and helpful. I hope I have the opportunity to stay at the Owl again someday

This is a very pleasant, small, older hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and clean. It is on a pretty street, close to Vondelpark, the Van Gogh museum, and the Rijksmuseum, and easily walkable to central Amsterdam. I also appreciated that it was very quiet. Like many older European hotels, the room was quite small for two people -- the two twin beds were pushed together like a king-size bed, and there was very little space for unpacking. So that is a thing to keep in mind, but the hotel itself was lovely, and I was glad we stayed there.

Location was good for me (just outside the main area, walking distance, no noise), staff are generally friendly. I did not like requirement to leave keycard with Reception as they give the wrong card back occasionally - this is very dangerous! Also, there was only one abailable power outlet which is not good. The room was very basic - no 'frills'. It was cheaper than anything else decent that I could find at the time. I would stay again if it is still cheaper otherwise I would go to a better hotel.

Lovely little hotel, perfectly positioned for both sightseeing and relaxing in Amsterdam.
The continental breakfast choice was really good and the staff were really welcoming, kind and helpful.
The only small negative was the bathroom. Tiny, short bath you couldn't really use (i love a bath), with a shower over and shower curtain that stuck to you. Could benefit from replacing with a large shower cubical for better comfort and experience.
That said, i would definitely return to this hotel the next time i visit Amsterdam again.
Thank you to everyone for making our visit fabulous!
