I came out of yelp semi-retirement to tell you all how great this hotel is.
When I visit a new place, I try to stay in a unique spot that reflects the local culture and vibe. Meaning I try to avoid the holiday inns and marriotts of the world. And Mr. Jordaan was the absolute perfect choice for my five day getaway with my bestie.
Believe me when I say every detail has been attended to here. The location is perfect and walkable (or bike-able) to pretty much anywhere in Amsterdam. It is located right across the street from the Anne Frank house, as well as a few nice coffee shops and other points of interest.
I can't help it, I love free stuff, and Mr. Jordaan delivered. The coffee machine was well appointed and always accessible. We were allowed two free sodas or other beverages a day from their cooler which was very generous. And upon our departure we were given a lovely bag of drinks, treats, and other travel essentials. Oh and there is a collection of post cards that travelers can take as collectibles or pay a nominal fee to mail to someone back home.
Everywhere we turned in this hotel, there was another adorable feature to explore. Photo albums, interesting books, cute merch available for purchase, and sample travel itineraries. It almost felt like one of those escape rooms with all of the hidden little tips and tricks.
All of this to say that I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Though I never met Mr. Jordaan, and wonder if he actually exists, he guided me not unlike the wizard of oz behind the curtain to enjoy one of the most intriguing and action-packed trip of my life.
