My family and stayed here for two nights, April 20th. We had a triple and a twin room, rooms 8 and 10. We were very happy with the rooms, they were beautiful, decorated individually and with antiques. The twin even had a remote control type thingy to open an close a skylight. The triple room was a little more cramped (3 beds in it!) but still decorated nicely and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there were some nice touches not normally found in b and bs, such as mini bars!! The owner was extremely friendly and helpful during our stay, always smiling. The bathrooms were nice, big enough and a lovely shower and bath ( I tried them both!) We didn't have breakfast. But I would guess they were nice, as the service for everything else was excellent. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone. It is gay friendly. The location was great for us, if you're going to amsterdam for a silly weekend of booze and drugs and girls, this probably shouldn't be your first choice, although it would probably still be ok! It is located right near a beautiful park, and the van gogh and rembrandt museums. The tram stops right outside, tram 5 from the central station stops right about 50 foot from the door. It is the stop after the van gogh museum, not the one in front of the van gogh museum. We think the stop was called museumplein. We had a great time here, if I go back to Amsterdam again I would book here early. Hope this helps you with your choice. LISA

The Hotel Heemskerk offers great value! It's in an Art Deco building from the 1920's a five-minute walk to all the museums in the Museum District, and very close to public transportation if you need it. Rooms are small, but very clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is adequate.

It's Bed&Breakfast style. This is the great deal to travel in Amsterdam. If you are budget traveller, but yon want a comfortable bedroom, non-smoker. Please stay there. I had the graden view in my room, very quiet. Lovely breakfast room. And hotel owner and his staffs more than friendly and helpful. It just behind the concert hall and museumpark just cross the road. And the Vondelpark just 5-10mins walk. One of the traditional local bar just opposite of the hotel, very cosy you could meet lot of people and know more about Holland.

We had a wonderful stay at the Heemskerk, starting with a warm welcome from Norman Heemskerk, who runs the hotel. Because it is so small (nine rooms) and so personal, the Heemskerk it felt a bit like staying in someone's private home: when it was raining out, Norman was quick to offer the umbrellas sitting in the front hall. The stairs are steep and the rooms are small, but the view (out onto the gardens in back of the concert hall) was lovely. And the location is spectacular, in a quiet residential neighborhood just across from the museumplein, and an easy walk to the bustling Leidseplein, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum, the Vondelpark, or most any of the downtown sights.
