This is a nice small hotel and a very nice neighborhood in Amsterdam full of places to eat and public transportation. It has a neighborhood feel and is full of local people not tourists. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast is basic bread, croissants, cheese, ham, and coffee, but it is fine.

Service all around was excellent from check in to check out. Was able to store bags for a few hours while exploring Amsterdam. Easy walk to the 19 tram which takes you to the Sloterdjik station that takes you to Schipol airport. Although my room had a an outdoor deck, the room is extremely small. You’re not meant to spend much in that room but sleep and shower. The bathroom is ridiculously small too. Also note the drinks in the mini frig are not free! My mistake…haha

Small hotel with very friendly front desk staff. Included breakfast was excellent with great coffee options. Multiple tram stops 1-5 minutes away. Rooms are larger than most in Amsterdam. A bit of street noise if you are facing it; bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper or ask for a non-street facing room. Elevator is nice. Located in west Amsterdam. 25 minute walk into the city center. Plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby including the Foodhallen (25+ options) and the street market with many hot food vendors.

Poorstay at Larende Hotel, bad female receptionist

My initial booking was excluding breakfast, however when I checked in, the Hotel asked me for an extra 35.86 euros for breakfast!
Although I was clear to him that I booked it without breakfast on purpose!!!

They receptinist on checkin was Ok, next day receptionist was very gentle and welcoming.
However, the lady at checkout, if I was manager, I would give her a warning for her attitude and rudness with guests.

All in all, room was good, no napkins for use except for toilette tissues. Bed mattress was very hard, pillows very light and cheap, bathing towel very cheap quality.
I wanted to check breakfast for 1st and only day, it was average, jam, coffee, scrambled eggs and some fruit salad, that's all.

Even if this is separate, decent hotels normally don't charge for 1 piece of .33 L of water bottle from minibar.

In conclusion, I do not recommend to book in it again!

Great location. Need to fix AC.

Great location in a quieter part of Amsterdam yet a close walk or tram ride to the center. The room was very small, but typical for Europe. The breakfast was great and included hot items like eggs. The woman at the front desk was friendly. The only negative was that the AC didn’t work. We were on the top floor with daytime highs in the 70s. The room was very warm, and we booked it specifically because it had AC. When we told the front desk, they said it was a “known issue”, which sounded like they knew and still booked the room. They initially didn’t want to do anything about it, until we asked again. They reset it, and it worked for 2 hours but then shut off.

I've stayed at lots of hotels ...large, small, expensive, budget. I've never been cared for by such friendly, attentive, service oriented staff ever before. I interacted with three different staff members (and the hotel owner) during my one night stay and all were absolutely committed to being helpful in whatever way possible... from early check- in, upgraded room, free coffee and teas several times, rapid breakfast service, and above and beyond internet help with restaurant locations and rail/tram travel. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Hotel Larende and I will never again consider staying anywhere else when in Amsterdam. Thank you for a great stay!

Good location away from the city centre bustle. Staff were really helpful and accommodating. As the hotel is on a busy road, and we were at the front of the hotel, it was a bit noisy (compared to the countryside where we live) but the bed was really comfortable which was a good distraction. Like most hotels, the lighting is more mood than practical.

The location is a bit out of the busy central area but wasn’t really an issue as the tram stop was about 100m up the road and so easy to get all over Amsterdam. The room is clean and nice, minibar is also quite cheap if you need. If you like a really dark room bring an eye mask but was a nice quiet spot. TV had english channels!!!

That evening I was in my room relaxing when a loud banning on my door on opening the manger son was there raving about my write up regarding my room he even had the measurements and said that was the room I booked and I knew by the measurements the size he was really angry not a nice experience. He should learn people have options and also how to deal with the public in the end I said please drop this I felt very uncomfortable. This hotel wants only positive feedback.

A terrific small hotel

We just returned from our stay at this hotel. I have only good things to say about Hotel Larende. We were warmly greeted by Murat the owner who immediately made us delicious coffee, as he checked us in and took our suitcases to our rooms. The rooms are superbly clean and comfortable with modern fixtures. Murat and his son, as well as Lenny and Andrea were extremely welcoming and helpful. They did everything they could to suggest points of interest, map out our routes and got us tickets to museums, canal cruises, and other tours. They made us superb complimentary coffees and tea anytime day or evening. The breakfast was a generous buffet of hot and cold foods including cereal, eggs,cheeses, meats, fresh fruits,juice, breads, croissants and of course the wonderful coffee !. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant twice and it was excellent. The hotel is well located on 3 tram lines and walkable to many points of interest. We would not stay anywhere else when visiting Amsterdam.

Great little hotel

Andrea the woman in charge of reception was the friendliest hotel personnel I've ever met. I arrived too early for checking in so she offered me a free coffee and croissant even though breakfast time had finished already. She also saw my bottle of water was half empty and offered to fill it up. She took the time to show to me in a map recommendations of places to visit and eat. I had to work half a day when I was there so they allowed me to stay an extra hour after checkout time to finish some phone calls I had to make. The room was clean and in good condition. The hotel was close enough to the centre (25 min walk or 10 min tram) and near beautiful canal streets. Wifi was very fast even in the room. Room was a little bit small but for a single person it was more than enough for a couple days.

I stayed for one night there. The stay was comfortable.
I was greeted by a very kind gentleman who also greeted me when i checked out. He was very kind and friendly. I was welcomed by welcome drink and feel welcomed to the new city i've just arrived.

The room was small and mainly occupied by the large bed. The toilet and the shower room was small but very new and clean.
The bed was large and I had comfortable sleep. To top, the breakfast bar was fantastic especially with the croissant they bake at their kitchen. I could not stop eating them ;)

I had a room on the ground floor, which had a little balcony. Also the balcony was also next to the kitchen balcony so I could see kitchen cardboards, so it made me a bit shy to get out on the balcony. I could hear the people coming in-and-out of the staircases and to the kitchen area though it was not enough to bother me.

Nice location

This turned out to be a terrific location in a bustling, hip part of town with a lot of nice cafe-restaurants (on weekend nights you'd better make reservations), away from the gross tourist zone but just a short tram ride from the center. The hotel has bikes for rent. The room was very nice, not big but not cramped, and actually has a balcony over a quiet rear courtyard. My only objection to the room is that it is a double room with only one luggage stand--where do hotels think you're going to put the other suitcase? Also they sold us \"tickets\" to the Van Gogh Museum, but when we presented these at the museum we were told they aren't actual tickets, just vouchers that can be exchanged for tickets by standing in the same long line we would have stood in anyway.

You walk in and there is no real lobby....it's the restaurant so not your typical hotel! But.....
The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly [all the time!] - gave us a detailed explanation on how to get around and offered us coffee/tea before even getting to the room. We were a bit further away from the city centre than what we had expected but 3 main tram lines stopped a mere block away that bring you to any of the main areas you want to be in. The tram is very easy to use, there is not a lot around the hotel.... hence the quiet location! Breakfast was excellent. Wifi worked.

Two days in Amsterdam

I needed a place to stay in Amsterdam for a couple of days following a Rhine River cruise and found this hotel on Trip Advisor. The rooms are very small, but exceptionally clean. Since I have a few mobility issues, I appreciated the presence of an elevator. A buffet breakfast is included with the room rental. The hotel has a restaurant (mainly pizza and pasta with a middle east twist) which is closed on Tuesdays. As other reviewers have noted, the beds are pretty hard, but I like a firm mattress. The hotel is located about a block away from Tram 13, which goes to the Anne Frank house and Centraal Station; this makes it easy to get to most local attractions. At the time of this review, an all day tram ticket was 7.5 euro. The hotel sells tram tickets, as well as tickets to attractions like the Keukenhof Gardens tour. If you decide to buy a hop on-hop off bus ticket, please be aware that the nearest stop from the hotel is about a mile away. Also be aware that there is quite a bit of street noise; you'll want to keep your window closed.

We stayed for three nights here. We were on the first level above the ground level. Although the room was somewhat small, it was very clean and comfortable. The room, however, could use a small trash can in the bedroom, a box of tissues, and better internet service. The best part of the hotel was the friendly service and great breakfasts. The location was just a 10-15 minute tram ride into the City Center. I really liked the neighborhood because it didn't feel touristy and there were lots of great local restaurants nearby.

would recommend!

very friendly staff and nice hotel.
the wifi didn't work for a good portion of my one night stay, so that was kinda annoying.

Amazing hotel, great location, lovely staff

Had a lovely stay in this hotel. Everything was pretty much new, obviously has been recently renovated. Lovely hotel. Great location, easy to get the tram to basically any where, or you can even walk (about 20-25 mins or so walk to the main centre). Nice light room with a good amount of windows. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious and fresh. Nicest hotel I have stayed at in Europe.

Excellent staff at a welcoming Hotel

Upon arrival at Hotel Larende, I was greeted by an exceptionally friendly welcome. I was instantly offered a warm drink and the check-in process was refreshingly straight forward. Although some would say the room I occupied was on the small side, it was more than adequate for my requirements during my stay ( I really only wanted somewhere to sleep at night as I spent almost all day in the city.) Breakfast buffet again met all my needs and overall, I do not have anything but praise for this hotel. It is a good 15 minute walk to Dam square from here but there is a tram stop only 2 minutes down the road where you can reach the Dam or Centraal Station in only a few stops. For the price, this really was a great place to stay in Amsterdam.

Nice hotel and good location :)

The hotel was lovely and the staff were mostly very helpful. The free drink on arrival to the hotel was very appreciated. We were also given a map and the girl who checked us in explained the tram routes etc...
We stayed in a room on the top floor at the front of the hotel - it was a lovey spacious room with a comfy bed and a small but very nice en-suite shower room. However, the room was very hot (we stayed end of October) to the point where it was quite uncomfortable at times and the air-con unit in the room wasn't brilliant.
Breakfast was simple but good, especially the fresh fruit and croissants.
The location/area is really good -he tram stop is a minute walk away and there are a few lovely bars and restaurants very close to the hotel.
Overall we had a great time and would stay at the hotel again.

excellent

The hotel is clean and quite. The room is spacy enough, but no air condition and there is no enough light in the bathroom. The staff is very helpful and polite. iron and coffee can be obtained at the reception desk. close to the public transportation an just a 20 minutes walk from the Dam.

Nice hotel but noisy

Hotel was clean and well run. The only problem was the noise of trams in the morning. I was in room 201 which was clean and modern but at the front of the hotel

End of our trip

A very nice end to our 2+ month trip through Europe. The manager and staff were very helpful in pointing us to the places to go and with the restaurants. Tram stop was very close and it was only 10 minute ride to the main station area for boat rides on the canals etc, but you could easily walk it.

Great family owned hotel. Quality food , Quality s

Excellent hosts in a great city. The only negative comment is our pillows were a bit overstuffed. We used the decorative pillows to lay on instead. Good location by tram. Access to the city center was simple to manage.

enjoyable stay

I really liked this hotel, especially the staff. A nice gentleman who works there tried making everything as comfortable as possible for me. He helped me with navigation, renting a bike and any questions I may have had.
The hotel room was great, clean, very nice bathroom, nice location; the breakfast was very good, especially for Amsterdam (there was more variety and great coffee). There is also a rather good restaurant on the premises.
The hotel may be a little further away from the more popular areas, but I viewed this as a benefit, since it was nice and quiet at night. There are several main tram lines right outside, which, in addition to bike rental, make you you well connected.
I will certainly stay here the next time around!

Great Staff, Close to tram

This hotel was clean and comfortable. The rooms were a little small, but nothing out of the ordinary for Europe. The staff was very helpful and made our stay very pleasant. The breakfast was awesome and the hotel was very close to two tram stops that took you directly into the city center in about 10 minutes.

Good choice in Amsterdam

Stayed for a few days at this small hotel in Amsterdam. The hotel is located about a 30 min walk to Dam Square in a quiet area with plenty of public tram transport right into the heart of things. Hotel was very clean and rooms were kept spotless. Rooms are as they are shown in pictures- everything you would need to be comfortable.
Good continental breakfast buffet,
free coffee & tea, and an excellent restaurant on site.
The hospitality of the owner and his son are what makes this small hotel
a recommended choice in Amsterdam .
