you have to experience the hidden bookcase room with quirky charm and incredible staff warmth

Unique, cozy concept. excellent hospitality.

quirky rooms with easy access to amazing parks and attractions

I loved how close this hotel was to Vondelpark, making my morning stroll refreshing and enjoyable. Walking to the nearby Rijksmuseum was so convenient and made for an incredible afternoon of art exploration.

The massive bed bug infestation forced me to leave in the middle of the night, marking this as my worst travel experience. The hotel's management was unresponsive regarding my security deposit issue.

Tales from the unexpected

Diving into a world of quirky solitude, I discovered the Secret Bookcase S. Though space was limited, the charm was undeniable. The bar served delightful cocktails while the shared bathrooms were unexpectedly tidy. Keep in mind, the compact layout may not suit everyone. A hidden gem for the adventurous traveler!

A Unique Experience Full of Character!

Our stay was delightful! The atmosphere buzzed with creativity, with vibrant art everywhere. Enjoyed tasty meals at the restaurant, especially their hearty breakfasts. Don’t miss chatting with the talented bartenders. they made our nights memorable. Pro tip, opt for a larger room if space is on your mind!

Unexpected delights in a tiny room

The whimsical decor and vibrant atmosphere instantly captivated me. I loved the friendly staff and the unique cocktail options in the bar.

However, I was disappointed by the extremely cramped room size and the communal bathrooms that lacked privacy, making it quite uncomfortable at times.

I stayed for 4 nights in the Secret Bookcase XL. The staff were lovely and helpful. The cocktails at the bar were excellent. Dining in the restaurant was a highlight, especially the Thai food. The location was convenient for exploring.

Unique themed rooms, artistic design throughout, lively night bar scene

The size of the rooms feels cramped, making it hard to navigate!!! The communal bathrooms lack proper cleanliness and convenience, creating a less than ideal situation during busy periods!!!

Unique themed decor enhances the overall experience.

I was appalled by the poor ventilation in our room. The air quality was so stuffy that it felt suffocating, and the noisy ventilation system only added to the frustration. Additionally, the communal bathrooms were inadequately stocked with essentials, which made for an inconvenient stay.

Unique themed rooms catch the eye, from hidden bookcases to eclectic decor that reflects a real sense of artistry. The lively bar next door offers impressive cocktails, making it a great spot for a nightcap after exploring.

Room sizes leave much to be desired. some are barely bigger than a closet, making it cramped for luggage and movement. The communal bathroom setup can be awkward since you need to traverse a busy lobby to access it, especially when it’s packed during evenings. Issues like insufficient ventilation and occasional strange odors can dampen the experience in the rooms without windows. Additionally, amenities often felt lacking—don’t expect coffee makers or storage space within the tiny rooms, which might be a real inconvenience for longer stays.

would definitely book here again

I stayed in the Secret Bookcase M room for 3 nights. It had a shared bathroom with consistent hot water and was always clean. The unique design was super cool and made it feel special. Staff were amazing at giving local tips, and the bar's cocktails were on point. The whole vibe was cozy and lovely!

Unique vibes, but super cramped

Super unique hotel with a quirky feel! The bar was chill and the staff were super friendly, but wow, the room was tight and way too hot. We were sneezing in no time from the mildew. The location is nice, and close to the tram, but honestly, I wish the rooms were more comfy.

I had an awesome time here! The quirky art around the hotel is so cool, and I absolutely loved the unique hidden room behind the bookcase. The Thai food at the restaurant is a must-try!

This was a smart choice for an overnight stay in Amsterdam with great value. The location is convenient, just a tram ride to the center. Bring your own towels since the hotel may run out of larger ones.
