We were all impressed with every aspect of the hotel, from the professional staff to how clean everything was. The location could not have been better, as it was located in a nice neighborhood within a short walk to the museums and Vonderpark and the Blue
Tea House...our personal favorite. We were made to feel like very welcome guests and couldn't help feeling almost as comfortable as home. The friendly staff maked us feel like old friends. Norman was quite insightful about Amsterdam and helped to guide every day with great recommendations. I would sincerely recommend this hotel to the solo traveler or the quad
room for the whole family. Thank you Hotel Heemskerk for making a great ending to our European vacation!
