Hotel de Windketel

We spent a week long honeymoon in Hotel De Windketel and it was pure heaven. The hotel is located near major walking and biking streets for easy sightseeing, but the placement of the structure behind the larger apartment building makes this a quiet oasis. We felt perfectly secluded while still in the middle of things. The neighboring Westerpark is filled with great restaurants, we loved being walking distance to a great Art Deco movie theatre The Movies (15 min), and walking distance (20 - 30 min) to all the great shopping in the Jordaan neighborhood. With a great bike rental shop located steps from the front door, we were able to easily bike around all of Amsterdam's gorgous parks. The hotel was clean, spacious for two and beautifully designed. The space had two TVs, two bathrooms, a dishwasher, a toaster, a coffee maker with some coffee to get us started, plenty of pots and pans for cooking, a hair dryer (!) and three floors of very well used space. The staff was warm, helpful and responsive over email. We loved it. We were so sad to leave!

One of the best places that I have stayed in! It is probably because it is so unique and this cosy, little tower has all the facilities you could possibly need; I have not stayed anywhere else like it! Perfect location, (in a quiet area yet the bus stop is around the corner) and a few stops away from the centre. Mossels and gin is a close by restaurant that I would highly recommend going to (if you like mussels and/or gin ofcourse)! |But the place itself is absolutely faultless! Can only accommodate two people but it is a place that one will visit and remember vividly... highly highly highly recommend!

This hidden gem was a wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam. The place was cozy but it made great use of space. The location was ideal with restaurants and the park near by. There is a fantastic coffee place right in the park and I also recommend Rainarai for dinner. The internet was a bit inconsistent but that may have been our issue. Absolutely one of my favorite places I have stayed and would love to return

Such an awesome and unique place to stay in Amsterdam. Also easily accessible with a tram stop so close by. Stayed here for my 21st birthday and I'd definitely stay again! I love that it's so small yet the space has been used very well!

We found this hotel by a coincidence, and for us it look like the finnish Moomin house. A simple choise for us, and we didn’t regrett. The house was small, but every thing we needed was there. It was a short walk to both tram and bus, and only a few minutes to the center of the town. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We stayed at the Windketel in late March to early 2017. My mother-in-law stayed there while we stayed at our place nearby. The privacy and amazing location of the Windketel was delightful. Lizbeth, the owner was very hospitable and most gracious. We even got to have a family reunion with my husband's niece and her family - the dining area fit us all and we all had a great time! Thank you, Lizbeth!

Definitely a secret place - just wonderful! Not one day did we experience anything negative - Lizbeth was gracious and very welcoming the netire time! We love the location and will not hesitate to stay here again!

What a fantastic place to stay enjoyed it so much the use of space is so very well thought out a real credit to the owners.... Liesbeth was so very helpful in helping and making our stay very easy... will definitely book again maybe the spring next time... |
