We spent two nights in Hotel Roemer at the end of May and were very pleased with the place.

We got a 'small double room' but were offered a larger room for the second night, but we were too lazy to move. The room, though small, was rather well equipped and had a pleasant artsy decor. The bed was comfortable, we had a wardrobe with a safe, minibar, ipod dock and flat screen television. The bathroom was very clean and the rain shower excellent.

The staff were polite, friendly and very helpful. The hotel is located on a quiet street, within a couple of minutes walking distance from Leidesplein and Vondelpark.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was absolutely brilliant. We were greeted with complimentary glasses of wine to enjoy in the lovely patio garden.

The decor is fantastci - quircky but great. Lovely jacuzzi bath and the rain shower was great too.

I almost don't want to tell people about this hotel in case they put the prices up but I honestly couldn't find a single bad thing to say except after four nights going home to my boring bathroom made me grumpy!

Enjoy

My husband and I spent 7 nights at gorgeous Hotel Roomer. It was my first visit to Amsterdam and the celebration of a 'special' birthday. Our choice of hotel was perfect! Our loft room was spotless, stylish and had wonderful facilities not often found at other hotels. The airconditioning, dvd player, flat screen TVs (with one in the bathrom!), coffee maker, Ipod docking station, jetted bath and rain shower enhanced our stay. And the staff were wonderful too-they were warm, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. We experienced 5 star service. Joost was a most passionate barman and had an expert knowledge of dining options in the city. I was pleasantly surprised on my birthday with a bottle of chilled champagne sent to the room (thanks to Simone and Joost for all their care and making my birthday so memorable). The cosy lounge with an open fireplace,
magazines and newspapers, laptops with complimentary internet access and a view of the newly established decked garden provided home-away-from-home comforts.

The hotel is well situated away from the touristy areas, but within easy walking distance of tram stops, cafes and restaurants, museums, shops and main squares. Less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel is the upmarket designer shopping street in Amsterdam.

We highly recommend this gem of a hotel!

Just spent a fantastic 3 nights at Hotel Roemer. We know Amsterdam quite well and chose the hotel because the location is central (2 minutes from Leidseplein, and the upmarket shops in Pieter C Hooftstraat) yet really quiet, on a virtually traffic free sidestreet. Although it cost slightly more than we usually spend on a long weekend away, the hotel was well worth the money and didn't disappoint in any way. Our room was not huge, but as others have mentioned the big comfy bed, deep jacuzzi bath and rainfall shower really make this a 5 star experience, and I could easily become addicted to having a flat screen TV by the bath as well as 2 in the bedroom! The bar manages to be both 'designer' stylish and totally relaxing, with its fire and sofas to sink into, and there is a beautiful courtyard garden (rare in Amsterdam!) with the sort of seating which is perfect for lounging in with a drink and catching the early evening sun. Being just around the corner from the Vondelspark and its beergarten is a bonus too, if you have nice weather. The staff were very welcoming and happy to recommend restaurants etc, tho in the end we used the internet terminals in the lobby to research some excellent local eateries. We didn't choose to have breakfast in the hotel - preferring to wander up to the Spui for the Cafe-Luxembourg-and-weekend-paper option. Also, 20 euro for breakfast seems quite pricy, given that a cafe breakfast can be had for around 10. But, all in all, Hotel Roemer was a little haven of peace and luxury whenever we needed a break from all that sightseeing, shopping and cafe-visiting.
