Family Hotel Kooyk is a budget hotel in a typical 18th Century Amsterdam canal house, just a few minutes’ walk from the nightlife of Leidseplein square. Vondelpark, the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, numerous theatres and the Paradiso and Melkweg music halls are all found within ten minutes’ walk. All rooms come with a minimum standard of shared bathroom, private wash basin, TV, and free Wi-Fi, while hairdryers and ironing equipment can be requested. Family rooms can fit up to six people and both these and triple rooms have balconies with canal views. Paid parking, a business centre, laundry service and tourist information are available. A breakfast buffet with continental fare and scrambled eggs is included in room rates, the hotel has drink vending machines and a wide range of dining options can be found near by. Amsterdam Centraal Station is 22 minutes away from Family Hotel Kooyk by tram, via the city centre.
Those who stayed enjoyed Kooyk’s central Amsterdam location, which is found right on a canal, minutes from Leidseplein, in walking distance of Anne Frank Museum, museums and the Heineken Factory, and has handy public transport options.
Guests found the rooms to be basic, but clean and offering everything needed for a base and somewhere to sleep. The free Wi-Fi and luggage storage were also thought to be handy.
You will find the buffet breakfast to offer a wide selection of fare for a good start to the day, while the staff was generally found to be warm and friendly, even if a few people said staff members were occasionally a little brusque.
Be aware that Kooyk’s shared bathroom, toilet and shower facilities are fairly small, so if you are someone who prefers more space and privacy, make sure to book an en-suite room.
As is often the case in Amsterdam, there is no lift in this hotel, and those with mobility issues, lots of luggage or a penchant to over-party may find the steep stairs too much.
A few guests also mentioned that the double beds are made up of two single mattresses, the rooms do not have air conditioning, and some rooms were considered to be rather small — factors you should weigh up against the reasonable prices offered here.
