What a surprise: Just right in the the old center of busy Amsterdam with so much life around, there is this quiet,exquisite, charming "Guest House" Sure more than just that: a jewel!
If you want to treat you and- more important- your partner at best- Í am sure you´ll find it there.
Just enjoy.

We stayed at 717 last weekend and had rooms 3 and 4. Both rooms were really spacious with comfy chairs and warmly decorated. After bombing around town on our bikes we always looked forward to coming back to the hotel to put our feet up. Our daughter didn't want to leave the hotel and we literally had to drag her out. The staff are wonderful and couldn't be more helpful. The complimentary wine and snacks is a lovely touch. Breakfast is fantastic cheese, ham, eggs etc whatever you want cooked to order. Location wise it couldn't be better. I've stayed in Amsterdam many many times but this was the first time in 717 and it is now my first choice hotel. Can't recommend it highly enough.

717 is a very friendly hotel in the centre of Amsterdam - the rooms are well appointed & spacious and ideal if you want to work or relax. Its like staying in your own home, the team are very friendly and the breakfast is cooked as if you were in your own kitchen - will definitely be my hotel of choice in Amsterdam. Hotel was recommended by a colleague and is a well kept secret.

We spent a weekend at this hotel in mid-November and the two nights we stayed have been very memorable. The location is excellent: mid-way round the Prinsengracht and an easy walk to most central Amsterdam sights. The only time we needed to use transport was to get to and from the airport. When we arrived, our friendly host showed us into a comfortable sitting room with a log-fire burning and brought us coffee and cakes as he spirited our bags away. When we were ready, he took us to our room and was genuinely helpful in explaining the facilities. Like most period houses in Amsterdam, the building is tall and narrow with very steep staircases but this lends it lots of character. The interior throughout is beautiful and the room, large but still cosy, lacked nothing by way of amenities. There was an option of taking breakfast in our room but we chose to go down into the dining room (they happily served us even though we got up late) and we enjoyed a good breakfast of cold meat, cheese, eggs and bacon. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, from local sightseeing tips to booking restaurants and airport transfers. The hotel is small but benefits from an very friendly, cosy atmosphere with particularly attentive staff. I couldn't fault it.
