It is a very nice hotel and the staff is very nice but our AC was broken so they had to manually bring one in, and the window had to be open at all times. Also the showers draining system was not good at all. Otherwise the outside area was very nice and very clean

We were in Amsterdam during a heat wave and the air-conditioning at this hotel worked perfectly. It was a small room, but all we really needed. The common area was unusual, but comfortable and bananas and oranges were provided.

The hotel promised air condition, but it was broken. They did not tell us, and when I asked about it, they just said it wasn't working. When I shared a formal complaint, they tried to fix it but were unable to. The hotel has an AI bot through WhatsApp to answer requests, which seems to be just a way to make you feel heard.

Overall - air condition was a crucial part of our criteria to pick the hotel for our trip during a heat wave, and they didn't deliver or even tell us that it was broken.

Otherwise, the amenities were fine. The room was smaller than it appeared on photos, the water pressure was weak, and there were a few more details that weren't ideal. But overall, if the A/C had been working we would have been happy.

Great location yet very small room, staff available very few hours per day (and not very helpful) Canal view or indoor garden setting not worth paying a high price. As a reference, we paid over 300 dollars a night via hotels.com.

During our stay we asked for a different bed, another luggage stand, no response even though we left a written note with my phone and WhatsApp information on top of their computer keyboard at the reception.

Quite disappointing and expensive to say the least.

Yes shops were nearby and you can walk or catch the tram, which is just around the corner. Equally you can Uber everywhere, they were very efficient. I did find it alarming that the fire alarm went off with no staff present, but the owner did arrive. Some idiot set it off, not the hotels fault. Did find on the Monday that the toilet downstairs dustbin was not emptied or the outside ash tray. Someone could have cleaned that up. Otherwise my room was spotless.

It is a lovely small boutique hotel. Very clean. The neighborhood was quiet. We slept great every night. Song Birds woke us up a few mornings. The airconditing was great other days. The lift seemed always to be waiting at our floor and was quick and nice after walking miles everyday.

It is not a regular hotel in that no one is in the lobby you use an electronic key to get in from street and another for your room.

The coffee machine made expresso's and hot cocoa for me and there were tea bag's and a hot pot to do tea yourself! All nice.

The shower had instant hot water for weary legs.

We kept yogurt in the lobby fridge for a quick breakfast.

The garden area was nice.

Our top floor shower had a leak problem that worried me, but it didn't really cause us issue.

The last morning, there was an issue with the electronic key and we were locked out of our room at 7:45, With all our things in the room! However, after thoroughly panicking and texting and calling about the third call he picked up and was in the lobby in minutes! And he was able to get us back in our room.

So, it is unique. Very nicely done, in a nice location. But with a few glitches. Because we stayed a week when the other affordable hotels were already booked! We were very happy with what we got for what we paid, but... there is a reason it is a bit less pricy.

The place was really cute but right around the bed, we are tall people. The room was clean and tidy but jt looked liked there was a leak above the shower in the bathroom? I got very bath Asthma while I was there leading me to believe that maybe there is mold in the ceiling. I haven’t heard back from them on the matter yet. Otherwise the garden area was cute, the coffee delicious, and you’re only a 10 minute bike ride to town center :)

An amazing find of a hotel. Couldn’t have asked for a better room - gorgeous bed, plenty of light, and perfect bathroom. Air conditioning great and an extra fan. Facilities in the basement are an amazing extra - free coffee and a gorgeous terrace area. Our air conditioning had a funny turn on the second night and the owner came out from home to make sure we were sorted - nothing was too much trouble and as we left we were already talking about coming back! Great location and everything in walking distance. We have friends looking to come to Amsterdam for a short break and we won’t hesitate to tell them to book in here! 10/10 - no negatives!

I stayed at If Boutique Hotel for two nights and had a very pleasant experience. It’s a family-run place, newly renovated, and everything feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The interiors are beautifully appointed with high-quality materials, and you can tell a lot of care has gone into the details.
The staff were fantastic—Samara and Iris in particular were incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
I actually wanted to stay one more night, but they were fully booked, which probably says a lot about how good the place is. Overall, a comfortable and relaxing hotel, and I would happily return.

Our stay at the hotel was ok, but the location felt misleading. We couldn’t even find it when we arrived. One of the main reasons I booked was the walking distance shown in the listing. It said the Van Gogh Museum was a 9-minute walk, but it was actually about 25 minutes. The listing should be updated so the location details are accurate.

The good:
Room is nice, clean and spacious.

The bad:
1. The location is pinned at a completely different area on Expedia, very misleading and adds a 20-min walk to destinations I wanted to go. Also made me concerned about the legitimacy before arriving.
2. The web key system is quite annoying - I don’t have data on my phone so every evening it’s a struggle trying to connect to WiFi from outside the building.
3. The secondary lock for my door doesn’t work - the lock and the hole in the wall don’t match. Made me a bit nervous about safety.

Overall, not a terrible experience but would not stay here again.

Clean room. Beautiful view. Totally contact free. Room runs on a card in the electric slot. Used a card from the last hotel and it worked fine. I recommend keeing your electronic key in whats app. Much easier than an email link. Worked great. Little smaller than expected. No place to put suitcases except the floor. Would recommend a couple fold out racks.
Knowing that, i would pack differently next time. Would definitely come back to this lovely space.

Location was great. Room was nice, but small. The bathroom door was broken and incredibly hard to open, and we had one housekeeping issue. The staff was friendly. The steps are narrow and small - especially for my husband’s size 13 feet, but there is one small elevator. I didn’t love only having the key on my phone. With the long day and using maps all day, my phone died and we couldn’t get in (I had forwarded the link to the key to my husband, but only the other info from the link came up for him, not the keys) - so make sure your phone is always charged! Luckily the staff was able to open the doors remotely for us when I rang the bell. Overall we were satisfied with our stay.

Love the free coffee machine and lobby/outdoor area. It was prime!

Our Bathroom can use a little more cleaning.

I was surprised by how far this property is to the city centre as I searched for ‘city centre’ hotels. You can take the tram though which takes 8-10mins to the centre. However this property is near museums which will be good to people looking to do those kind of activities.

Lastly we didn’t mind the mobile key to enter as we can navigate tech comfortably but i can see this being challenging to some tourists especially if you don’t have easy access to wifi.

Bait and switch. Beware the room you think you are booking might be the one you will get. The room I got didn’t look anything like the room that was on my booking, It was super cramped I could barely get my luggage into the main area. It was on the street level, right by the entrance, stairs, elevator and vendor machines right outside room door. So if you have the misfortune of getting a room in this area prepare to have absolutely no sleep. Also I couldn’t open the blackout blinds to let any light in or get air because there is no privacy curtain. So you can see right into the room from street level and hear everyone talking as they walk by. I spoke to the front desk about these issues and requested to be refunded for the remaining night due to the discomfort and they said sorry not refundable. Worst part of all is they have a keyless entry system that requires your phone. Phone dies or have an issue with the keyless link you are out of luck. In fact, I did have an issue and the link to the door wouldn’t load for me when I arrived back to the hotel at around 11pm on my first night. Thankfully a fellow guest came along and let me in the building. This is a security issue and as a solo female traveler I didn’t feel comfortable with this and left after one night. I messaged the hotel to let them know my issues and that I was leaving and they didn’t even bother to respond. Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here!

The IF Boutique was modern and very accessible for walking and dining. Our hosts (owner and staff) were very helpful!
The only issues were the steps leading up and down- no handrail and worrisome for older people as steps were steep. We did not like the entry system as the phone had to charged snd present to access. We were locked out 7am on the day leaving when our taxi driver arrived and had to wKe the owner up to get access. Definitely a place for th younger generation especially those staying a short visit.

Perfect location, clean, quiet, modern accommodations. Marcel and Iris were wonderful, thorough and detail oriented. It made our stay easy, smooth and very comfortable. Highly recommend this place for the amenities and location as well.

Lovely stay

We absolutely loved our stay in this hotel. The decor is beautiful and staff were friendly. We loved that we could use the microwave and that there were plates and cutlery to use. There was also a communal fridge which we used during our stay.
There is a complimentary coffee machine too.


There is a garden at the back which is beautifully decorated which guests can also use.

The bed was so comfy.

We will most definitely stay here again. We loved this hotel.

Room was nice and clean and served our purpose. Bed is pushed up to a wall and made it difficult to get out of at night if your are sharing the bed .
Nice relaxed reception where you can use cooking facilities and free coffee from the machine. All in all a good experience

Had a great two night stay at this beautiful hotel. The mobile key system is a bit tricky to work out at first - you must always make sure you have charge on your phone to be able to get in and out of the hotel at all times. Other than that it was a great stay.

Phone signal isn’t the best and since the key card works off key signal I found my self waiting several minutes to get into the building

Great place

I really enjoyed my stay. I checked in late and checked out early, so I never met the staff, but I loved how I just used my phone to access the hotel and my room. The hotel looks new and it’s clean and is everything I need in a hotel

Short get away

Arrived about 2:30 and got in via a key sent to my email. Had a room on the bottom floor. Room was clean and comfortable but smaller. WiFi worked. Great coffee machine! Tv we could not get to work. Also we got up early and wanted to leave our bags but realized that’s only between 10-3 and we’d already be out and about so we just left and stored bags near the train station.

The room was pretty, and the owner (I think he was) had been brilliant :)
