Hotel Fita

Stayed at this charming hotel for 3 days in September. The location is perfect, we walked to all the museums accept Ann Frank House. We had a lobby level double room comfortable beds, very spacious and nice bathroom. There is a school nearby, but it wasn’t a problem. The staff were always friendly and helpful, appreciate them all. Breakfast is on the lower level, your usual euro breakfast but decent. Would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful hotel. A very friendly welcome and the service was wonderful throughout our stay. Perfectly situated outside the city centre, so nice and peaceful in a lovely neighbourhood. Trams and buses accessible just a 2 minute walk away. Rooms were clean, well presented, and comfortable, Stroopwaffles on the pillow was a lovely touch. Breakfast was outstanding with lots of choice, beautifully presented and absolutely fresh. The freshly made pancakes were the best I've had, absolutely delicious. Totally recommended this hotel. We will definitely look to book again on our next visit to Amsterdam.

This is one of the best hotel stays I have ever experienced. I would stay here again and again if in Amsterdam. IMO it is the best location for key museums, high end shopping, transportation and restaurants. The hotel itself is small, but very clean, the workers are extremely nice, and the rooms are very comfortable. Also, due to limited elevator usage in the country, I spoke with them numerous times before booking and found their willingness to help and communicate to be on of the best for a hotel. They helped my mother with her luggage, allowed us to use the side entrance so she could avoid stairs with luggage, and always looked out for us. Also, the breakfast is amazing and well prepared every morning. We also used their laundry service which is beyond reasonable. It was the best laundry service we experienced in Europe and folded so impeccably, we could pack it as is for our next stop. I have nothing but praise for everyone here. If you can get a room take it! I wish all hotels in Europe were this accommodating and clean.||Stayed Oct 2-7, 2024

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Fita! The location is ideal, an easy and picturesque walk to the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, to great restaurants, and nice shops. The breakfast was outstanding, generous, and beautifully prepared. Don’t miss their special pancakes!! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our spacious room was very comfortable and had large windows and a balcony overlooking the neighborhood. We highly recommend the Hotel Fita!

The location of this hotel is fantastic if you're visiting museums in Amsterdam. I travelled with a friend and booked separate beds. We got a room with two beds that were attached to each other like a king size bed and according to the staff we weren't allowed to move the beds apart. Felt a bit weird.

Loved our time at Hotel Fita, would absolutely stay again. Cozy, beautifully decorated room upstairs. The breakfast was simple and delicious everyday - make sure to ask for Dutch pancakes! Our stay was quiet, plenty warm during the winter, and centrally located. Easy walk to museums or to take the tram stop Museumplein to centraal. Staff were lovely and super helpful. Stairs are steep like most in Amsterdam, but there is a small elevator.

Hands down, if I return to Amsterdam, this is the only place I will stay! This boutique hotel is the standard for which all other hotels should be measured. The provide great service and cleanliness without looking as if they're working hard for it. This is one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in. The service in the breakfast area is amazing. The food is always fresh and do not forget to save room for a Fita pancake! It's looks like a crepe but tastes like a cinnamon roll! I cannot say enough about this hotel for the location. Great food, great location, wonderful beds, good hot water and CLEAN! It's less that 400ft from the Rodeo Drive of Amsterdam, the tram and bus stop are right behind the building, and the museumplein is across the street. One of the best locations if not the best to stay in Amsterdam. Some have complained about the children outside playing. However, we stayed in room 10 on the first floor adjacent to the front street and side alley where the children's playground was. We were not disturbed by it. The windows in the sleeping area are double pained and more sound proof than the bathroom windows so keep that door shut if you are easily awakened. WE WERE NOT BOTHERED! So glad I found a small blurb in Rick Steve's book to find this hotel. I know others who were on his tours stayed there when we were there as well. Best decision of our trip.

We stayed 5 comfortable nights at Hotel Fita. Extremely convenient to tram/bus stops, museums, grocery, restaurants. Our room was on the first floor so we didn't have to use the tiny elevator, but there were some steep steps up to the entrance from the street. Pretty quiet, although there is a school on the side street with children playing outside during the day. No AC but we did have a ceiling fan and patio windows. Very large modern bathroom, adequate storage. We made our reservation directly with the hotel, so very good breakfast was included (ask for pancakes!). Staff was friendly and helpful. We took a bus to and from the airport - it stops barely a block away.

Beautiful, quant, well kept hotel. Room was pleasant with a balcony and windows that opened. Surrounding streets seemed pretty quiet at night. Nice breakfast downstairs. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I'd definitely return.

Great place to stay, friendly and helpful staff. Room and hotel was clean, breakfast was great nice buffet options with some hot food in addition to continental breakfast fare. Wonderfully close to Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, very walkable with tram stop on the corner. Be aware there are a few stairs a bit steep at front of hotel and stairs inside. There is an elevator but very small, 1 or 2 people squeeze. Might have to send luggage up and down without you. Would definitely stay again.

Quite simply, a great hotel near the museum district. Kees, the host, is one of the warmest, most charming, & professional innkeepers I've ever met. The hotel is beautiful, comfortable, very clean and well maintained. Breakfast is included, and is quite good. A pleasure to stay here, and we hope to again when we next visit the city of diamonds.

When your initial plan to go to Amsterdam didn't work out well and you lost a day of your vacation but you still want to be grateful for the opportunity so you count your blessings. This hotel I count as one. Warm welcoming and accommodating staff. Breakfast is phenomenal with Dutch pancakes served warm and fresh. Very wonderful parents of owner helps with managing hotel adds a comforting touch, offers free directions and recommendations as well. Always had a bad back and picky with beds but I slept with no problem. Room is homey and huge for us 3. Shower is big with tons of warm water. I super love this hotel. Totally recommend!

Clean, comfortable, great location adjacent to the 3 major art museums and a short walk to the canal rings. Also near tram lines #2 and #5 as well as sorted trams on Van Baerlestraat. Delicious breakfast included, consisting of cheeses, assorted breads and pastries, the best yogurt of my life (with all the accompaniments...granola, fruit nuts etc.), fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon (did not try it but it looked and smelled delicious). Roel's magnificent crepe/pancake made to order, juices, and excellent coffee. GREAT shower pressure in solo room #38 on the second floor...just a nice quiet room with an espresso maker as well! Samsung flat screen TV for your watching pleasure. Free WiFi in all rooms. From Schiphol airport, take bus #197...get off at Hobbemastraat next to the Rijksmuseum, walk straight ahead to Jan Luijkenstraat, make a left and walk 3 minutes to the address.

EXCELLENT hotel with superior service--and great location! Excellent location and transportation from central station and sights to hotel--plus, if you want to see the Rijks/Van Gogh/and Stedelijk museums you are about a little over a couple blocks away which was a real plus for me. The staff from the owner on down is kind and caring and totally accomodating to each person, and they definitely put in the extras should you need it. I cannot say more about their customer service than it is superior. The other thing is I was there in Fall when it was chilly, and the room allows you to control the heat--and I saw fans and a/c for Summer visitors there. Lastly, the bed was sooo comfy it wasn't funny. Of all the countries I have been in, I think their bed was the most comfortable of all--a huge plus for tired people. I stayed there for 11 nights in this super quiet facility, and was so very happy that I have urged all friends to contact me for their name should they be going to Amsterdam. This hotel is a gem--and every hotel could take a lesson from the Fita staff.

GEM in Amsterdam! Roel and team were the best! Very responsive to email questions I had regarding my stay and questions about Amsterdam. Breakfast was top-notch- during my travels in Holland and Belgium- very fresh-excellent cheeses,lox,tomatoes,eggs, bacon,cereals,yogurts, fresh brewed coffees-cappuccino,espresso and the best little crepe pancakes-the best!! You must have one when offered!! Rooms- modern bathrooms-adjustable shower-plenty of accessible outlets for charging electronics. Small closet for hanging jackets-boots etc. Lift- so you did not have do use the stairs to get up to your room or downstairs to the cheery room with windows for breakfast! Location is great for the Museum area and easily accessible to tram lines and public Bus 197 which for 5euro goes right to the Airport! This is a GEM and I hope they have a room the next time I visit Amsterdam!

I can not say enough good things about this place! It is located in the heart of Amsterdam - right next to the Van Gogh and Rijks Museums - and walking distance from many Amsterdam sights. They also rent bikes at the hotel - a great option to enjoy the city and visit some farther away locations. The rooms were more spacious than I expected for a downtown Amsterdam place and the neighborhood is nice and quite. Above all the service was wonderful. They emailed us right away to confirm the reservation and were always very accommodating in any request that we had. The room includes breakfast, which is also a treat. Make sure to ask for the Dutch pancakes, which they can make upon request! The first day of our visit we actually did not realize that the breakfast was included - when we learned this - the hotel staff comped our bike rentals since we missed out! How thoughtful and kind! This is a wonderful place to stay during your visit to Amsterdam!

Highly recommended. Before I even arrived, I received an email from Roel telling me they we looking forward to my stay and to confirm my arrival. He told me how to get to the hotel from the train station (very easy - they are a half a block from a stop) and gave me an overview of the city and the amenities of the hotel. The room was a good size, a large bathroom, very clean and comfortable. It's next to a playground but its very quiet at night. The hotel is within a very very short walk to the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum (although it was being renovated during my visit and the paintings were at the OK Hermitage Amsterdam). I like to walk and I walked easily to all the major attractions in Amsterdam. Walking to the train station without heavy luggage is even possible. Breakfast was great and the staff were so nice. After I left I received another email as a follow up.

Very excellent family run hotel in the museum district. Clean and quite comfortable spacious room with large windows. Breakfast is good with fresh baked croissants and good cheeses; the staff are quite pleasant, friendly and responsive. The hotel is small with only 20 rooms and feels refreshing and calming. The school nearby and daycare center in the courtyard are pleasant and we were able to nap in midday without trouble. A little city noise and bustle and a couple of nights there were some talkative folks from the hotel across the courtyard in the wee hours. Would stay again readily. There is a small elevator but it's best if one can also take the stairs. Stairs into the hotel and in the lobby, but staff will help with bags there.

My daughter and friends stayed at Fita after hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro. They thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the location. Roel was extremely helpful to them. I called Roel from the U.S. to pay for flowers in their rooms to congratulate them on their trek. He generously paid for the flowers himself. True Nederlander hospitality.

This small (20 room) hotel excels at customer service, friendly and efficient staff, wonderful breakfasts, and great location. Book early, as it fills up quickly.

Small hotel, run by a local family. Awesome service, great breakfast, cheerful staff. Just excellent all round. Right down the street from both the Van Gogh and Rijks, one block to the tram line, easy to walk to the shopping/restaurants. Only caveat- the stairs are typical old European building type, so for folks with big feet step carefully!

Hotel Fita is a great place to stay when you're in Amsterdam. My Husband and I stayed there while we were in town for 5 nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is family owned and operated and you really feel that charm and warmth while you're there. The staff is friendly, professional and goes out of their way to be sure your stay is comfortable. Plus, their Dutch pancakes are fantastic! We always felt well taken care of. We HIGHLY recommend this hotel. You will not be disappointed!

A fabulous little hotel in a wonderful city. It is owned and operated by a family that truly has its heart in the business of making your stay a memorable experience. The hotel is immaculate, restored to perfection and maintained with love. The location is probably the best in Amsterdam. One block away from the museumplein where you will find the Van Gogh, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk. My spelling might be a bit off, but you will find them all within a short walk. Also in close proximity are the trams that will take you wherever you wish to go in the city. A block in the other direction is high-end shopping that beats Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Let Roel know if stairs are a problem so you can be placed appropriately. Small elevator that works like a charm despite its size. The breakfast is generous and delicious, and the pancakes are the best I've ever eaten, hot and delicate and hard to forget. You cannot go wrong at the Hotel Fita. They really take care of you with the kind of personal attention you simply do not find in a big place. I give them my highest recommendation and can't wait until I return to Amsterdam and a room at this great hotel.
