Hotel JL no. 76

Clean, simple, and contemporary hotel on a quiet street close to Vondelpark, both Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, and the boutiques downtown. The single elevator is small and the stairwell is narrow and bit difficult to navigate with bags. I stayed in the Executive Suite and was happy with my room size for the cost, and was pleasantly surprised by the jets in the tub. Very nice to settle into after a 9 hour flight and carrying bags all day. The hotel staff is very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. I would stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel JL No76 recently, on our first visit to Amsterdam, and it was a wonderful experience and we look forward to staying there again. The staff are excellent. When we arrived we were greeted by Thomas, who checked us is and provided personal recommendations for restaurants and tours, including drawing them up on a map for us. He also reserved our tables for us, which was one less thing we had to worry about. All of his suggestions for dinner and lunch were excellent, and the rest of the staff we interacted with were helpful as well.
The room was a pretty good size for a boutique hotel in Europe. Whoever designed them rooms did the most they could with the space. We’re tall, so the high ceilings were a blessing and made the room seem a bit larger, and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was a large window that let in plenty of natural light. The rain shower head was a welcome surprise as well, as many European showers are pretty short if you’re over 6 feet tall.
The hotel itself is on a quiet street right by the Museumplein and easy walking distance to just about everything in the heart of Amsterdam. If I had any complaint it would be that the WiFi was a bit slower than normal, but that’s about it. Thanks in part to the excellence of the JL No76, we are looking forward to our next visit.

The location of the hotel is very good, but otherwise I cannot say anything very good about it. Old building with about twenty rooms in it, mix of OK decorations and cheap IKEA cabinets and furniture. Cramped lobby, cute but small. Very expensive breakfast, you can buy coffee to go from the machine in the lobby — why pay for a simpke cup of coffee after paying a lot for the room!!!
No pool, no gym, of course. Mattress is very thin and has indentations in it from overuse so I had back pain after 2 nights. They rent bikes (seriously? Not even a bike for free? A bike, not a car!) at a price way higher than rental places in town.
Employees are nice and professional but that is not enough to make me recommend this place to a friend.
