Balk Holidays

This is a typically quaint traditional Amsterdam hotel, with steep stairs (no lift) and canal views (from some rooms). It's currently under renovation and needs some updating but rooms are having air conditioning fitted and the lobby has had an update which looks much more professional. The staff are all really lovely and helpful and any issues quickly and efficiently dealt with. So for any prospective visitors bear in mind that it is a project under way, but at the end of the day, it's a place to sleep when visiting and the rooms are comfortable. A major plus is the daily FREE 'Happy Hour' (16.00 - 18.00) with beer, wines, coffee and snacks provided. Would we go back, most certainly!

We loved the location and unique setting the hotel provided. The bathroom was small but the bedroom area was spacious. In July, the AC was perfect!! We would return again.

staff were extremely helpful and room was great value !

The Hendricks hotel was situated just a short walk from Centraal station and in an ideal location for access to all the city offers. The breakfast buffet was superb, staff were friendly and helpful and they have bikes on site that we rented 2x. I would definitely stay there again!!

It's in Damrak, a rough neighborhood. Lots of historical buildings around but crowded and dirty. We will not stay in this area again the hotel itself was more modern, clean, and welcoming. Good restaurant, nice rooms but strange bath setup. A separate toilet room, the shower spills out to the bath floor, no curtains. The bathtub was nice. We did take advantage of it.
