Boutique Hotel the Noblemen

Lovely hotel, room was lovely and staff very helpful. Didn’t order a mamosa for breakfast and was charged over 20 euros so check the breakfast card as that’s the only negative.

We loved our romantic stay at The Nobleman! The building is historic with beautiful architectural touches and we love how each of the rooms is artfully designed after a different nobleman from the Dutch Golden Age. Ours, Seba, a famous Naturalist, overlooks a canal and has an extraordinary bed and brass tub in the room. Breakfast in bed was delicious. The location too is perfect! Some suggestions (all easy) to make it perfect would be better pillows, luggage racks in the room, a hook to hang coats and the ability for the hotel to mail postcards. Oh, don’t forget to book the tiny and charming spa during your stay. Very restorative! Also highly recommend Breda and Sampurna, both nearby, for standout dining options.

We stayed here for three nights on the last leg of our Europe vacation and I was most looking forward to this hotel. It was great but a few downfalls for $700+ a night. We stayed in the Louys and Hendrick Trip room. Quick Details: Pros - Communication, hotel aesthetics, copper tub, double showerhead shower with great water pressure, bed comfort and linens, delicious included breakfast in room rate, small fridge located in the bed to store a few things, easily arrange for you transportation Cons - the steps into the bed were highly annoying in the middle of the night, no lobby or community space to relax in, no counter space in the bathroom, no convenient towel hooks, front desk not always available, no turn down service Communication before our arrival was great and when we were delayed by our Eurostar train from London by 5 hours, it was no problem. The front desk is on staff until 11:00pm. Our greeting from Alan was friendly and the welcome glass of wine was much appreciated. He carried our luggage to our room up one flight of stairs while we filled out our breakfast order. The room is large and beautiful. I selected it specifically because of the dual shower head in the bathroom and the cooper tub. The bathroom was pretty small given the size of the room. The finishes were lovey but not practical. It felt like a man designed it who only brings some deodorant with him lol No counter space to put your things or place to store your toothbrush. Towel bar was on the opposite wall of the shower. There was room under the sink for storage and the lovely Dyson hair dryer. The toilet had a high tank and pull chain and would flush for forever. It must go through MANY gallons of water to flush. Shower was great though and loved the Molton Brown products. The copper tub was great with plenty of room for two people and what seems like an endless supply of scalding hot water. There were a few times the water got me at the bathroom sink. They didn’t provide any bath products which would have been appreciated since they say bath bombs or oils shouldn’t be used in the tub. I was worried about the steps in and out of the bed. The out was definitely more difficult (especially in the middle of the night) but the pop up TV in the bed was awesome as long as you don’t mind watching TV in bed. The fireplace had no flame, just light bulbs. The floors were warmed but the AC didn’t really work. Never did see any kind of vent to circulate air. The room is on the second floor and overlooks the canal which also means it overlooks the street. We didn’t have a lot of road nose because the street felt very residential. The curtains wouldn’t close to block out the light and the large shutters wouldn’t close all the way so there were slivers of light peaking through. There was another room in our hallway and another door to main the hallway and it was noisy in the morning with lots of door slams. The breakfast was delicious was some of the best scrambled eggs and

Intriguing boutique hotel on a quiet canal street. Decent hotel but would likely find better value someplace else. Pros and cons to our 3 night stay. Pros: •Welcoming, professional staff •Delicious breakfast delivered to room •Great location in the Centrum neighborhood close to shops, restaurants, landmarks, and tram. Cons: •Room very dark with few lights. Had to use phone flashlights to navigate areas other than bathroom. •Very little storage for clothes and toiletries. Had to leave suitcases open on floor to use as storage. •Room temperature impossible to regulate. Not sure room thermostat worked or if temp centrally controlled.

Staff are so very welcoming; you know immediately they want you to enjoy your stay in their Hotel and nothing too much trouble for them. Hotel is beautiful in every way and so spotlessly clean. The bedroom themes are a joy to behold. All in all I consider the ‘deal price’ that we paid is fair for what you get. You want to enjoy Amsterdam and for me this is the location you need to be in order to enjoy and appreciate Amsterdam at its best. I’m hoping one day they will somehow find a way to have a Hotel Bar and a larger Breakfast area as this will make this Hotel perfect.

Charming boutique hotel. We stayed five nights and enjoyed the comfort and the connection to Dutch history, which was incorporated into the themed rooms. Breakfast (included) was made to order and was fresh and tasty. Staff was terrific. Location is ideal to walk everywhere and to use public transit.

Well, what an interesting experience! First, I must complement the staff, they are young, polite, attentive, and eager to help. As for the hotel itself, it has problems. If austere and quirky are what you are looking for in a hotel, this may be a very desirable place for you. Certainly, the location is superb, but the amenities in the hotel itself are few and far between. The space available for a casual glass of wine or a cup of coffee is a small room devoid of comfortable seating, it is a space that makes one think of the word Spartan. The drainage outlet in the center of the floor invites speculation that the purpose of this room must have once been used for something very different than welcoming guests, but best not to think about that. Our room was on the fourth floor available only by stairs that wouldn’t meet code today. We respectfully understand this is a 17th century property, however, we’ve stayed in many historic properties that were more adapted to current standards. As 78-year-olds we were grateful for the assistance of a strong, young gentleman could bound up these stairs with one piece of our luggage in each hand.Because my career was in orthopedic trauma I strongly suggest, no matter what your age, that you use the elegant banister both for going up and coming down. (BTW – the young gentleman wasn’t around when it was time to get the luggage down for an early trip to the airport – that task was a thrill.) The room itself was, well —odd. The bed was circular, like ~8 feet, and required some negotiating both for ingress and egress. You do not just swing your legs to the side of the bed and put your feet on the floor. Not such an issue when you’re crawling in for the night, but it does make leaving to visit the bathroom in the night a challenge, particularly if you do not want to wake your bedmate. BTW – make sure you have a flashlight when attempting this or acquaint yourself with the room light controls in a little cubby space on each side of the bed. Actually, because this space will be dark and the switches are black, you’ll still probably need the flashlight, which will also come in handy for locating other items in this room when the sun goes down or doesn’t come out. The lighting in the room is very poor when ambient light dims. The TV rises from the bedstead when activated by a switch in the cubby space mentioned previously. You’ll need to play with the switches to determine which one controls the appearance or disappearance of the TV, nothing is labeled. The TV cannot be rotated to be face the chair and sofa. To face it directly the viewers need to lie in bed. A conventional king or twin beds would seem to allow a much more practical and comfortable use of the room space. The heating system didn’t work, but the hotel provided a portable unit that was rather effective. One does get used to the fan noise and any displeasure with the arrangement is offset by no longer being cold. Pity there wasn’t a similar device

We loved our experience at Hotel The Nobelman. We spent four nights here, my husband and I in the Seba room with Canal View and our 17 year old daughter in the room at the very top. The hospitality was wonderful from the welcome to the breakfast every morning to the “welcome back” in the evening. The rooms were unique and beautifully decorated, beds were very comfortable and the hotel is very well located on a quiet street along a canal but just around the corner from the Nine Streets with many shops, pubs and restaurants. We will return!
