Stout&Co is a fabulous place to stay. Everything just adds up.
It is located very close to the historic city centre (15 min walk), but at the same time in a wonderful and very quiet neighborhood, with lots of hip bars, amazing restaurants and relaxed parks at its doorstep.
We were welcomed by Sonja. She was extremely friendly and immediately handed over a map of Amsterdam with nice tips and hidden gems. She was always available for questions or sudden changes in the breakfast (I need to eat glutenfree, which was really well taken care of).
The rooms, you could actually call them studios, are modern, very well designed and really comfortable. WiFi is fast and reliable, beds are extremely comfy, and there’s a soft and hard pillow you can choose of.
When you step outside your room you enter a fantastic roof terrace, which is especially nice when the evenings are getting warmer and the plants are flowering. It’s the ideal place to chill, grab a glass of wine and talk about the things you saw and visited that day.
The breakfast is outstanding. A wide range of fresh products is served and they’re all delicious. No further explanation needed!
In Amsterdam-Oost you won’t see too much tourists, but its really worth spending a day or two (the Hortus, Oosterpark, Artis, Troopenmuseum, Dappermarkt…). To end with; take a 5 minute walk from Stout&Co to the square of the Artis Zoo, have a bite at the Plantage, and see the flamingo’s afterwards at the end of the square. Enjoy!
