The room was more spacious than we expected in such a busy part of Amsterdam. It was clean and very comfortable. The hosts were so kind and helpful. We arrived before the check-in time but were able to leave our luggage, and the host even took it up to our room for us.

As mentioned in other reviews, it was a bit noisy outside. I do think that is to be expected in such a vibrant part of town. It was not a problem for us, and there were earplugs provided as well.

The place is very well located, in a beautiful part of the city. The morning coffee was amazing (the little coffee shop where you have breakfast - right next to the hotel - is very good and the owner is very friendly) The rooms and beds are extra comfy and the personnel is awesome !! We let our luggages for the day in the Calisto restaurant in the morning, and we came back in the evening to pick them back up, they were in a safe space and we had no problem getting on time at the train station (10/15 min walk !!) Thanks to the team for the warm welcome ☺️

In the room we booked (room 10) the shower was leaking (even when being extra careful with where we axed the shower head - towards the inside of the shower and not on the glass) so the floor got a little wet after every shower. Also, the charging ports were on the opposite side of the bed, on the other side of the room - which was a little bit of a struggle for charging phones, setting the alarms etc…- same thing with the hair drier - charging port is a little bit too low so we had to bend down or stretch veeery much the cable for it to be plugged in to dry our hair. An extension cord would have been awesome ☺️ Apart from those two things, everything went perfectly !! We recommend this place if you want to have a smooth stay in Amsterdam !!

The location is great in the Jordaan area and only 15mins walk from Centraal station. The room was nicely decorated and comfy and had everything we needed. We also loved the coffee and pastry included from the cafe next door. The restaurant also let us keep our bags there for the day before we came home which was appreciated.

We were staying in a room above the restaurant and one night the kitchen was playing very loud dance music after service until almost midnight so I couldn't get to sleep 😞. The free coffee and pastry from the cafe is a great idea but on Sundays it doesn't open until 10am which is too late if you want to explore the city earlier. The bathroom door is only glass so doesn't give a lot of privacy even if you're a couple.

This is my second time staying at this lovely hotel. My room was quiet even though it looked out onto the street, which is very pretty. I booked a deluxe double room this time and it was delightfully spacious and filled with natural light. The room had a Smeg kettle which was a great treat. The shower was excellent. The digital key was sent on the day and it worked really well from the phone. Breakfast pastry and tea/coffee were included from a small and really friendly cafe across the road. The restaurant downstairs was not open when I checked out at 11am, so I was unable to leave my bags.

Nothing.

Huge comfortable bed, lovely compact cosy room, gorgeous features, amazing shower and fab cleaning service. Also like the digital room key & the restaurant below is amazing, lovely staff and the best pasta I’ve ever had!

There was quite a bit of creaking one night from 1am-3am and it sounded like it was coming from right outside my room (maybe a ghost). As a young female solo traveller I felt quite scared. Also quite loud outside my room at the early hours, there was a man was shouting down the street at nothing for a while one night, that spooked me a bit.

Modern, comfortable, clean, warm.

Stairs to rooms 9 & 10 are incredibly steep (warming for elderly, pregnant or mobility impaired). A few easy fixes to be done: - Safe was already locked when we arrived (please ensure this is left open for future guests). - Bedside lamps were flat (need charging). - Water leakage on the ceiling between the 9th & 10th rooms. - The Café to collect the free breakfast doesn’t open until 9am (10am on Sundays), so we couldn’t collect ours before we checked out on the last day (perhaps providing an alternative breakfast pick up option to suit those leaving earlier than 9/10am).

Everything from check-in to check-out went amazingly! All hotel calisto staff we encountered were super friendly, helpful and highly responsive. We were able to leave our luggage prior to check-in and even after check-out for a few hours. The room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. All essential amenities were available for a comfortable stay even including delicious teas and coffee with aesthetic cups. They were also very sweet to include coupons to try their cafe across the road, Good Beans, with a complimentary coffee and pastry (they were delicious). Next time would love to try their restaurant downstairs too, looked bustling and delicious. Overall, a great place to stay short-term with great location, walking distance to the main city and train station.

Nothing negative! To note is that if you are allocated rooms 9 or 10, they are on the third floor which requires one flight of very very steep stairs. This is something to consider if you have mobility issues or travelling with older people. However, the hotel calisto staff were super understanding and helped up carry our luggage up and down from our room during check-in and check-out (which was a lifesaver considering we had a 23kg bag too).

The location was great really bustling vibrant area a short 10-15 minute walk from centraal station with great restaurants, cool cafes, independent shops, and the staff were all lovely and friendly, it had a really good vibe about it, simple modern decor with lovely bathroom and all the beauty of an historical Amsterdam townhouse. The restaurant below is a must while visiting, as is the coffee shop opposite where you get a free coffee/pastry with your stay as your breakfast, you can also easily walk to all the sights / museums across the city within 45 mins.

Unfortunately our room was right above the (really delicious) restaurant just one floor up from street level, and with only single glazing, and not quite fitting thin curtains we heard everything going on, earplugs were provided but this isn't the hotel or room if you want a quiet night sleep - at a weekend anyway, its a bustling all hours neighbourhood which is fab but the noise was an issue, maybe other rooms are quieter so worth asking as everything else was great!

15 min walking distance from the train station. AMAZING location. We weren’t expecting to have breakfast included, but then they told us there’s a pastry and coffee included with the reservation which was amazing. Everyone was supper attentive and the check in we were expecting was a “contactless” or self check in, but we ask at the restaurant about our check in and they were super helpful and very friendly. HIGHLY recommend to have dinner at their restaurant.

I hated that we had to leave

Great location in the Jordaan within easy walking distance to the train station and Prinsengracht. The street is very quiet at night. The hotel entrance door and room door are opened via an app, the details are sent out in an email on the day. The restaurant staff kept an eye out for my arrival and helped me out. The nearby shops are lovely and there was an organic grocery store just along the street. The shower was hot, the toiletries were top notch, the room was nice and warm, full of light, great WiFi, and best of all there was a Smeg kettle. There isn’t a lift, and the stairs were narrow and steep, a characteristic of Dutch houses.

All great!
