* Polite, super attentive staff. * Clean, calm vibe with a light touch of elegance * The primary builiding of the hotel is nestled in a historic building, which brings such charm. * Easy Uber/Taxi pick up/dropp off. * The beds were comfortable and the shower worked well with good water pressure abd temperature.. * De Pijp is a lovely neighborhood for walking, light shopping, libations and meals. We enjoyed Pekelhaaring.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (530 reviews)

What a wonderful hotel! We arrived exhausted after a lengthy redeye and the concierge and desk staff took great care of us, even allowing for a super early check-in (hours before the normal time). Through our 2+ day stay, we were treated cheerfully and conscientiously, and we found our room to be spotlessly clean, comfortable, and stylish. Overall, the hotel is a seamless blend of traditional and modern design, which we loved. The atrium is a wonder. We would stay at the Conservatorium again without hesitation and look forward to our next trip to Amsterdam!
