The Craftsmen reviews
“Great Time !”
LikedThis Hotel is centrally located and we were able to walk everywhere. The Staff were so helpful and the breakfasts were really above and beyond. I would not hesitate to stay here in the future
Dislikedmy room was very very small but it had a great view. I have been traveling for 7 weeks so my suitcase is quite large if you have a small amount of luggage and are a solo traveler this would be perfect
“Always an interesting and pleasant experience.”

“Special and quirky stay”
LikedA great central location, we were able to walk everywhere. A truly beautiful hotel. Clean, quirky and special. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, breakfast was delicious. We hope to be back!
DislikedUnfortunately the Brewers room is noisy early in the morning being under the servery area. It didn't spoil our stay though and the hotel provide ear plugs!
“Gorgeous setting, perfect location and the staff were amazing!! Highly recommend”

“A "well polished", small and charming boutique hotel that offered wonderful service and breakfast.”
LikedOur room was The Blacksmith, a two story room with 2 twin beds upstairs and one queen on the main floor. This hotel had a great location. It was kind of equidistant from the very center of Amsterdam and the more quiet and charming outskirts. It is on a corner, along a canal and the streets are lively at night. Check in was wonderful and the staff put our luggage in the room for us while we relaxed. The staff was so nice and very attentive. The breakfast was amazing, served at the table and with a lot of options. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was very good with a great shower and plenty of room. The hotel is really well decorated and charming. The hotel does have an elevator.
DislikedIf these following complaints were put on a scale of 1 (not bad at all) to 10 (terrible), they would be a 1 or 2. These were not very big issues at all. The Blacksmith was a decent sized room but with 3 beds, it gets a bit tight for 3 or more people. The queen bed on the main floor takes up much of the space there and the 2 beds on the second floor are up a flight of a narrow turning staircase. This was slightly challenging to get our luggage up to the second floor room with the twin beds. However, weighing this against some other hotel rooms we've rented in Europe, this Blacksmith room would NOT be considered small. There was a little more street noise at night than anticipated but that did not keep us from sleeping.
