De Jonker Urban Studios & Suites

Very beautiful and modern interior design with strong attention to details. Walls are in this gorgeous deep green decorated with gold/natural wood furniture and fixtures. The blackout curtains are a huge plus for a good night’s sleep and they maximised their bathrooms by splicing out the shower and the toilet! Comfy stay and lovely staff. Highly recommend and will book again in the future

The room is actually an apartment, including a small kitchen. It doesn’t have the normal reception, instead a QR code is given before arrival. The hotel is across from the zoo.

We stayed a week here, and used it as a base to explore Amsterdam and the surrounding area. Excellent tram service to and from the hotel, only a short stroll to the subway. Rooms were good, bed was comfy, everything was clean. Staff were very helpful. Use a phone as you enter hotel and room with a QR code, much more secure than room keys. Wonderful little breakfast restaurant 5 yards/metres from hotel. Went there most mornings. Across the road is also an excellent restaurant attached to the zoo and aviary. Free to go sit and watch the birds and the flamingoes. Had supper at the Warsteiner Bar across the road on the corner, a couple times or stopped in for a drink. Great atmosphere. Took tram downtown a couple days, but walked downtown/Central Station area most days.

I would not stay here again. Reviews mentioned the QRCode entry issue. We were never able to get the QRCode to work. Luckily there were staff people about. My group of friends booked 4 rooms. The carpets were stained and appeared filthy in all the rooms. In my room the bedroom and bathroom were down a steep spiral staircase to a below ground room. I would never have booked it if I had known. It would have been difficult to get out of in an emergency. I did not sleep well as a consequence. I never checked my ground floor window to see if it was locked until my friends told me that their windows would not lock. We had to wrestle my window to get the rod down and it was still loose. When reviewers said the rooms are dark they are not kidding. The walls and ceiling are a brown burgundy with black painted woodwork. We spent a bit of time coming up with a redecorating scheme. On the plus side it was quiet. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were modern, there was lots of hot water, there were housecoat and slippers. The kitchenettes were well appointed and even have mini dishwashers. The hotel has an elevator.
