We recently stayed at Hotel Notting Hill for three nights during Amsterdam Pride, and overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The hotel is modern and elegant, with a touch of classic art deco charm that gives it real character. It’s well located—just about a 15-minute walk from the main shopping streets, yet far enough from the crowds to feel peaceful.
We arrived before check-in and were greeted warmly by the reception staff, who were friendly and happy to store our bags for us so we could start exploring the city right away. A nice touch that set the tone for a welcoming stay.
We booked the Loft Room, which was impressively spacious and well-appointed. It featured a comfortable bed with soft duck feather pillows, an espresso machine, and a mini fridge (though the fridge wasn’t particularly cold). The walk-in shower suite was a highlight—modern, clean, and stylish. The only real downside of the room was the lack of windows—there was only a skylight, so no view or natural light coming in from the sides, which was a bit of a shame.
One point that could be improved: during our entire stay, our room was not serviced. We were returning from Pride events in the early morning and sleeping in until around 10:30 or 11am. We made sure to switch on the “please clean room” light before leaving for the afternoon, but when we returned around 4pm, the room had still not been cleaned—even though housekeeping trolleys were in the hallway. This was a little disappointing for a hotel of this standard.
That said, the free pastries in reception, and the breakfast and bar area, made for a lovely place to unwind. It’s a well-run, stylish hotel with a relaxed vibe and a very ideal location for both exploring and relaxing.
Would definitely consider staying again, though hopefully with more consistent housekeeping service next time.
