Rembrandt Residence

We had the loss-​leader room. Not bad, though. You get what you pay for.
Staff was excellent. The young man greeting us on our initial arrival was very friendly, efficient and helpful. One evening, we asked for bar service just before 10:00PM. They were more than happy to open up for us.
Once we found it, up-​and-​down a «training course» of stairs and steps, the room was quite large with two single beds and en-​suite bathroom. The window opened onto a rather drab courtyard. The fresh air was nice as the weather warmed up during our stay. We sustained more than a few mosquito bites. That goes with the luxury of an open (ing) window, no?
The beds were quite comfortable and linens, bathroom were very clean and tidy. Plentiful hot water and heat for cold nights (of which we had a few). Once it warmed up, A/​C would have been nice, but we just stayed outside enjoying the city until it was cool enough to sleep.
As for location, we were five minutes walk to Dam Square; not bad to say the least. Also, less than five minutes to the nearest tram stop. Restaurants and pubs were plentiful in this neighborhood. Anne Frank museum is probably 10 – 15 minutes walk; central station is easily and quickly accessible via the nearby tram.
Breakfast (add 8 Euro per person, per day) was tasty and quick; very friendly service staff to assist with the self-​service buffet; Eggs, sausage, toast and a variety of breads/​cakes and cereal, along with coffee and juices to start your day.
Lastly, Herengracht canal is quite popular with leisure boaters into the wee hours. They are fun and friendly groups as a rule, adding to the aura and enjoyment of this very special city!
PS: I would stay in this hotel again. I would, however, request a different (and no doubt more costly) room.
