Lienden Vacation Packages

The owners interact with you. They are very hospitable people. They give you a warm comfortable feeling of family, which we need when we are in a foreign country for the first time.

Very cute space in an excellent location, well-appointed with fully functional kitchen. That said, there were a bunch of small issues that made this a four-star review and not a five. Flat instead of fitted sheet on the mattress meant my side kept coming untucked every night, and I'd find I was sleeping on the mattress pad. Air circulation isn't great, and the free-standing AC unit blows cold out the front and hot out the back, meaning if the kitchen is cool, the living room is hot. Better to use the windows and the fan setting. No instructions for guests on how to use the oven/micro or the dishwasher so you're left to puzzle it out on your own. Had to call more than once to get coffee supply refills - the machine in the room used different size pods than what we could get in the grocery. Being off site from main property means no on-site staff, so if anything is needed after hours (including a lock-out assist) you need to go to the main hotel several blocks away, since the solo staffer can't leave the property. Anyhow, all of these add up to minor annoyances in what was a great stay. They say location, location, location, and being able to look out the front window of a first-floor walkup onto the canal, the boats, the bridge, and the Amstel, as well as the H*ART museum and opera house on the other side was priceless, as was being able to hit Bakkerij Verhagen for pastry, bread, and coffee/OJ in the mornings (just at the other end of the block!).

Fun. Very small rooms. Great service overall.

We enjoyed our stay at the Pestana Amsterdam. It was clean with functional rooms were a big plus for us. We would stay again when back in Amsterdam-can't wait to be back. It is a bit far from all the attractions but we did not mind it. Quiet area with some stores and eateries around. Recommendations: have a ramp for suitcases or a porter for arrivals.

Staff was very nice. Was in safe part of Amsterdam. The room was a tad confusing the fan plugged in would only work with lights on so I moved it. Floor ac unit did not work at all the room was very warm, the wall unit was broken, tv also didn’t work unless all lights were on so I didn’t use it. Comfortable and spacious very very quiet with window wide open on the cool nights in Amsterdam in July thankfully!
