Authentic Farmhouse - De Vergulden Eenhoorn

Great space for a family of four. Restaurant next door was convenient and was nice to sit in front of the fire place. In a quiet location but still only a short drive to busy Amsterdam. Would recommend taking a pram for little ones if walking to and from train station. Hosts were very responsive.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Room was well laid out and the shower was great. The restaurant next door was fantastic too. Also very close to public transport for quick access to city.

Entzückendes Zimmer, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir hatten Zimmer 1 mit Badewanne. Zimmer liegt sehr schön umgeben im Restaurantgarten mit wunderschönen Blumen und viel Grün. Betten sind sehr groß und bequem.

Obwohl es wirklich sehr hübsch ist, würden wir nicht nochmals kommen. Wir verstehen, dass vieles dem authentischen Charakter geschuldet ist, jedoch fehlt für diesen hohen Preis dann der Komfort. Das Badezimmer ist im Keller und müffelt, der Fliesenboden ist noch original( sehr schön) und dadurch an vielen Stellen gebrochen. Achtung wenn man mit Kindern kommt, sie können sich schneiden. Durch die verschiedenen Ebenen haut man sich sehr oft den Kopf an. Und der Hauptnachteil man kann die Fenster nicht wirklich öffnen. Das ist wirklich schade, hier sollten eindeutig die Fenster repariert werden! Ein weiterer Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre statt der unnötigen rostigen Anrichte eine kleine Teeküche einzubauen. Was wir nicht wussten, das Restaurant gehört nicht zum Hotel, somit wird man vom Restaurant verscheucht wenn man im Garten mit einem eigenen Snack sitzen will. Also eine Terrasse gibt es somit nicht wie bei Booking vorgestellt wird. Auch sperrt die Küche vom Restaurant erst um 11 auf und das meiste Personal ist sehr unfreundlich. Es gibt aber nette Lokale in der Umgebung.

The grounds were so fun with outdoor areas to sit, eat & enjoy a beer/ cocktail. The manager Deene was beyond helpful! Loved the the ease of neighboring metro stations & quaintness of this historic building

Loved everything!

Rymligt, väldigt mysigt och tyst. Härligt att bo som i en trädgård. Kul område med många restauranger på gångavstånd. Lätt att åka kollektivt in till stadskärnan.

Charming setting in a lovely garden with an excellent restaurant. The hotel portion is set in a historic, well-designed converted barn with very comfortable beds, good showers, and easy access to local transit. The metro is five minutes away and convenient. The hotel borders on a canal so the walk to and from is pleasant and scenic. The staff are helpful and accessible. The restaurant is a huge plus--it's very popular so book on the weekends for lunch and dinner.

Be aware of how busy the restaurant is on the weekend so book ahead. There were no noise issues at all, however, despite the happy families and gatherings. And the food is very good.

Close to metro stations (about a 5-10 min walk). There is a restaurant/bar on site for lunch and dinner. Staff is lovely and property is gorgeous!

We were a family of 4 adults traveling and it was a bit tight. The bathroom is in the “basement” and the lighting for make up isn’t great and there are no plugs for doing your hair (blow dry or other heated tools). Made getting ready a bit of a challenge.

Its clean and extremely comfortable with a luxurious classic design. Staff are very friendly and professional. It is also very quit and safe during the night.

Η τοποθεσία είναι εξαιρετική, επικρατεί ησυχία και το κατάλυμα είναι αρκετα ευρύχωρο. Μείναμε 2η φορά και πάλι σε επίσκεψη μας για επαγγελματικό ταξίδι. 800 μέτρα απο τον Amstelstation και πολυ κοντά στην όχθη το ποταμού Amstel με ωραία μαγαζιά για χαλάρωση και περπάτημα. Ο Deene που μας υποδέχτηκε ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικός. Πολύ καλύτερα από το χάος του κέντρου το Άμστερνταμ.

Θα μπορούσε να είναι ελάχιστα πιο καθαρό (ίσως έφταιγαν οι έντονες βροχές των τελευταίων ημερών βέβαια) και θα άξιζε το 10 σαν βαθμολογία

La localisation de l hotel, proche de la gare. L accueil de Deene, qui était là dès notre arrivée.

C est un petit détail mais certains équipements manquent comme une pomme de douche dans la baignoire, les bondes dans les lavabos.

Sehr großzügiges Appartement, schön eingerichtet und mit Handtüchern, Mini Küche (Wasserkocher, etc.) und Heizung:Klimaanlage super ausgestattet. Das Restaurant nebenan serviert leckeres Frühstück und auch einen Absacker abends im Garten

Kein Mülleimer im Raum Nachttisch Lampen leuchten sehr schwach (Deko) Dachfenster oben lässt sich nicht offen stellen, da der Hebel nicht da war. Nur seitliches schieben möglich.

The size and layout of the room was incredible! So spacious and the bed was massive and comfy. The speaker was great quality for the evenings and in the morning the blinds and curtains kept the light out I slept amazing every night. The walk to / from Amstel station is so easy and quick, about 6-8 mins max! It was clean, great size and exactly what we needed for the girls weekend away. Our plans for cancelled last minute and one thing we said was at least we were in a nice hotel to make the most of and didn’t mind having to spend more time in the room. The staff in the restaurant were really helpful whenever I needed ice or milk for the room, as well as Deene who helped us check in and check out was great too! The transport links are great, your in the city centre or other surrounding areas so quickly the commute was actually really fun, while also being nice your not in the direct city centre and the area of the hotel is so nice. A short walk in the other direction from the station there are good little shops and restaurants too. If I ever come back to Amsterdam I will definitely look at this hotel as an option again.

The only thing I can’t sadly fault about the hotel was the house keeping isn’t daily, and with 4 women sharing a room within 24 hours, we definitely could’ve done with a fresh set of towels and toilet paper. They came around on the 2 morning we had there and was great but wish it was daily. However, Deene was really helpful with helping over text message!

La ubicación y las instalaciones

Great location, 5 min walk from Amstel train station, train to Amsterdam Centraal is a 10 min ride. A cozy old barn with kids beds on the 1st floor. Would recommend.

There is no way you can blowdry hour hair. There is no power sicket in the bathroom and next to the only mirror in the hallway, there is also no socket. The roof window was leaking while it was raining.

Nice location and a cozy vibe of the room - you do feel like in some nature hotel and not in a busy city. Bed is really wide. Deenu was also quite responsive on chat and helpful with recommendations.

On the other hand, it's not well maintained. You see it everywhere: shower switch is broken, one of shower heads is just missing, shelf door handle is torn apart with a screw sticking out, wall right above the head on the second floor has paint partially fallen off, coffee machine is leaking, tea cups are missing etc etc. Yes, Deenu is doing his best to respond fast to messages and you can ask for some missing dishes from the restaurant stuff, but having so many pieces “off” spoils the mood. Cleaner only came once in 5 days to replace towels and used glasses, no full cleaning intended. Also, a warning to fellow travellers - there is no breakfast _possible_ in the hotel. It's not included, and Booking states this as “pay at the property”, but it's only open from 10AM (as per Deenu, we never checked), which is too late if you have like Any travel plans for this day. All if all, it's nice and cute place, good restaurant, but I can't recommend it as a place to stay.

the room is amazing big and cute

there isn’t re reception you have to contact host to enter

Location was fine: though not in the most charming of neighborhoods (lots of charm in Amsterdam), near to transit, good restaurants, and lovely canal path. Communication easy and well managed.

False advertising: was no "kitchenette," rather just the basics (coffee and tea facilities, tiny fridge) that you would get in any rudimentary hotel room - except that there were not even mugs for the coffee and tea, we had to ask for those. Other missing basics: no waste bin in the bathroom, and in fact no facility for disposing of wet/damp waste of any kind (just a basket in the main space). No ventilation of any kind in the bathroom. Lastly, renovation now getting shabby and in need of repairs (see pictures). Seems like it used to be or could be nice - but right now it is way overpriced for what it is.

Fenomenalna lokacija. Oaza prirode u centru grada. Nestvarno. Ugodan domaćin. Svaka preporuka.

Die Betten sind sehr bequem und die Zimmer sind liebevoll dekoriert. Mit Kühlschrank, Föhn und sogar einem Bluetooth-Lautsprecher hat man alles, was das Urlauberherz begehrt. Wir haben uns während der 5 Tage sehr wohl gefühlt.

In den Abfallbehälter waren keine Säcke drin. Das war etwas unangenehm. Während unten geheizt werden musste, liessen wir das Dachfenster während der Nacht offen, da es sonst viel zu warm wurde. Dies Ende März, als es draussen noch sehr kalt war. Im Sommer wird es ev. trotz Klimaanlage sehr warm werden.

Lovely location, cosy feel and loved the bathroom!

All perfect

Nice place and good garden

Take care when you go to the second floor

Everything was excellent, the place, the location and the host. Less than 10 mins walk from metro/tram/train/bus. The restaurant just next to the accommodation offered very good choices. Most of all we loved the feeling of the house : )

Everything was excellent!

What a hidden gem! A beautiful farmhouse with lovely gardens and a great bar and restaurant. You would never expect it in the middle of a residential/commercial area. Close to 2 metro stations that can take you anywhere.

Very peaceful location, comfortable beds, great shower and bath. Excellent restaurant and easy to get tram or metro to places of interest. Also pleasant walk to De Pijp for great restaurants.

Unique, quiet setting with a very nice restaurant on the property.

Because it is a restored farmhouse it has some low beams that you had to duck in a few areas.

Location, and the independence with how the hotel was managed - Deene was excellent and attended to any needs we had!

Nothing

A spacious suite, beds were comfy, nice and quite location

It was very quaint and unique. The area was quiet and you felt safe. Great welcome from Neena.

Private, Away from crowds. Host was friendly and helpful. Close to metro and train. Comfortable

The room layout and size and the bar / restaurant and outdoor seating area

The ac could work a little better

Location to the city and the property itself with the gardens and proximity to a great restaurant

The room was clean, quiet and air conditioned. the beds were comfortable. We were welcomed by Deene who was very friendly and helpful.

The location of the bathroom was not ideal - involving steep steps down into the basement room. The double bed is located against one of the room walls making it tricky to get in and out of for one of the person on the inside. The WiFi is quite slow and comes and goes.

Gorgeous traditional farm house perfect for a family of four. Deene was great with the communication and assisted us with our queries. Comfortable bed. Would recommend!

The word authentic is in the name of the hotel, and that is exactly what you get. Our room was incredible, featuring an upstairs with extra beds and a basement bathroom with an amazing tub. We had a great time. The hotel was easy to reach and they were super helpful in accommodating my requests related to my wedding. The location is great, away from the city centre so you can experience the "real" Amsterdam. But still only a short stroll and a tram ride from all major sightseeing locations.

Cleaning could have a little bit more attention to detail, nothing major.

The location is great. Very close to the Amstel station and away from all touristic center. Big and cosy. Very nice architecture.

It needs a little coffee table.

It was very comfortable and the rooms felt private even without doors dividing them. The facilities were all good quality. And we had added helpful items such as the steamer and mini fridge. The interiors were beautiful and very tasteful. The location was also incredible, surrounded by beautiful gardens, next to a gorgeous restaurant and hidden away from busy roads or towns but still close to transport, shops and cafes that you can walk to along a beautiful, peaceful canal

We needed more mirrors inside. A perfect place for a long/large one would be on the wall space on the right hand side of the bed, next to sockets. A blind is needed on the upstairs window. Id also suggest adding to the rules/guide a time in the morning from when it’s more acceptable for noise to start.

A beautiful estate within walking distance to tram and metro. Comfortable beds, spacious and charming room. The free coffee was appreciated. The staff was great and helpful

On cold days it was a bit chilly inside and it could be made more cozy with some soft lights

The property is beautiful! We loved our room. It has the perfect amount of space for us. It was bright, inviting, clean and a great place to rest.

No complaints!

Ambience, the grounds, the history, the garden, location

Could have had more chairs, waste basket in bathroom, clean glasses and towels

We stayed here as a family with 2 young children. Excellent location to travel right to main attractions from nearby Amstel station. Lidl and restaurants close by via a lovely river walk. Beds were comfy and Deene our host was super helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble!

Only improvement would be to have more of a table to eat around. The stairs are quite steep so worth noting when booking. Also a couple more bins would be great, but all very minor tweaks.

The property is beautiful and the staff are very good. If you want to enjoy Amsterdam and not be right in the city centre this is the perfect location. The metro is a 10 minute walk away and it’s the perfect escape from the busy city with a Lidl just around the corner. There is a pub next the property which we didn’t go to, but there was no noise at all!

There were no mugs for tea (turns out you use glasses instead). I actually like using a glass now! There was no milk, but the gentleman gave us some milk to put in the fridge!

The beautiful period features of the building, such as the original floor. The comfortable beds and the large bathroom.

Could have been hand soap in the dispensers provided. Would have been nice to have two chairs in the first floor bedroom so as guests we could sit together there. The lighting system were not always responsive and difficult to use/turn off.

The property was lovely and spacious. The bath/shower room was amazing! Beds where comfy and it was in a really good location near the metro to head into the city

Lights were very hard to get to work and dim. Heating didn’t work well and room was cold. No towels in bathroom to wash/dry hands after using toilet. No microwave. Had to go in basement for shower or tub use. Narrow stairs.

Everything

Nothing

Superb location for family with teenagers in a nice part of the city with great local restaurants , good vibe and close to the metro to take you into the heart of Amsterdam . Nice large bathroom , extremely comfy beds & large !! V quiet at night Host very accomodating …

Nothing to dislike

Nice restaurant and lovely garden where you could sit in sunloungers and take a drink. Away from the busy center but yet easy access to the center by Metro or tram.

The room was okey for 3 persons but the bedlinnen from the dubble bed was not clean, it had a big spot on it! In the separate toalett the soap container was empty. The schampoo, conditioner was only for 2 people while we were 3 persons and were not refilled.

Great facilities and resuratn and bar onsite. Close to bus stop, 5 minute walk and train station 10 minute walk. Very friendly hosts and staff onsite were every helpful during our stay. Highly recommend!

Great location, lovely and quiet.

We loved everything but maybe would’ve been nice if the hand soap dispensers were filled in bathroom.

The Garden and the room and the bikes for rent

Beautiful rural spot in the middle of Amsterdam. A very comfortable room with lots of space

Low doors to the bathroom were a real pain.

Charming accommodation

Unique property with rustic charm.

Water issue in bathroom due to recent wet weather.

We liked the location just out of town, we were able to walk to the Amstel Metro station and it was 5 stops to Central Station. The facilities in the farm house were good, towels, toiletries, beds were comfortable. Nice quiet area. Ideal for a short break.

The TV was not working downstairs, no signal and upstairs we could only get one chanel to work. We didn't use the restaurant. Would of preferred a breakfast menu. We met Deene on arrival however, we would prefer to have someone onsite to help us.

Location was very quiet and peaceful yet easy to travel into the centre.

It was super clean & stylish with comfortable beds. The staff were friendly & helpful, and the food in the restaurant was very good, and it had a busy, lovely vibe in the evenings. It was in a nice, quiet area & about a 15 mins walk to the Metro or Trams.

The Bathroom in the basement had a drain/damp smell a lot of the time. There were a few essentials missing in the both rooms like Tissues & a long mirror upstairs, and extra lamps are needed to see better in the evenings. A few of the light bulbs weren’t working & there was no soap in the soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Also there were only tiny coffee cups provided, which were no good for tea.

Big room, nice location, really comfy bed

Bathroom smelt a bit damp on arrival until we put the heating on, could have done with a bit of a better vacuuming as there were some bits on the floor... although we probably only noticed these more as our baby was playing on the floor

I've stayed before and came back years later. Lovely building, nice rooms, quiet location.

Nothing

Quirky accommodation in a nice part of Amsterdam, near to Amstel station to get into the centre (*), with a very friendly host. Also as the accommodation is separate from the restaurant was quiet. * as a tip for anyone travelling as a family like we were you can get a €17.50 family day ticket for the metro/trans/buses if you download the app, which wasn’t obvious until we asked in the station.

Bathroom in basement and quite low ceilings.

Interior design was nice, in a nice setting

Required a late check in, I didn’t read the small print so didn’t know that check in closed at 8pm which seems very early for a hotel? Was made to feel like I was an Inconvenience to the staff because my flight arrived at 9. Was checked in by a very unwelcoming man who made it clear he was not happy I was staying there. Room had a strong smell of damp that would not stop, the windows can not be opened and although I was told the cleaners would look into it nothing was done. The room cost €315 a night, which is incredibly expensive for the level of service i got. Breakfast was served very reluctantly and was very underwhelming, there was a noisy party happening when I arrived. For the cost of 2 nights in this dump I could have flown to New York and stayed in the plaza for a night. Absolute rip off, this place is a scam, sort out your damp musty room before making people pay 5 star prices. Criminal

Very quiet, you’d never know that people are in the on site restaurant and bar. Super comfortable bed. A short easy train trip to central Amsterdam and all the attractions. Would definitely recommend this stay to others who would like to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Super accommodating staff. Really happy with our choice.

There is nothing to complain about.

Lovely place just by the canal. Not your typical hotel room. Lovely gardens and tea and coffee making facilities

Staff was super helpful and it was a gorgeous setting.

It was a charming location. Great for a family. The restaurant suits a younger crowd, but it does not effect with the property at all. The metro and tram is a 5-10minute walk away.

There was a coffee machine, but no milk. I asked for milk, and they said no (which I thought was odd)

no breakfast being served!

bed comfy. good water pressure in shower. great to have a shower separate from WC. handy to tram station. restaurant extraordinary.

no one on property to help. ran out of toilet paper. low beams hard for tall people in loft. never did get all the lights to work. tv came on all by itself in the middle of the night

The host was lovely and attentive, the property was also lovely, perfect location, station very close by and only a few stops to Central :) We cannot wait to come back in the Summer, beautiful restaurant garden outside the property! 1 suggestion my friends and I would like to put forward, perhaps a sink area in the little kitchen area rather than the tongs and hair dryer that is located in there, if you are there for a couple of days or more having to take dirty plates and cutlery to the bathroom is not really ideal! The empty cupboard space I am sure pipes can be fitted! Just our opinion of course :) however this did not affect our stay here :0)

There was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom after a while when the heater was switched on, however closing the door blocked the scent from coming out! Again, would not stop us from staying here again.

Deene is a superb and responsive host. Comfy beds and the suite is sizeable for a family of 4. Slightly further out from city centre but easy to commute with metro station nearby. Would have been great if the towels are changed and rubbish emptied daily but minor points. Just to note it is not a hotel with no reception desk at site. But the host is easily contactable if there is any issue. Would stay here again if we visit the city in future.

Excellent location, easy access to the centre. Residential area, nice bars and restauranrs in the neibourhood. Smart and pretty building.

No staff on the premises, no place to leave the bags on the last day.

Beautiful accommodation in a lovely setting, very close to the metro.

Loved it all.

Nice, peaceful location. On an old farm, so it’s a unique place in Amsterdam and the rooms have been done up well. Big bathroom and can sleep 4 adults. Good value for the location and size of rooms. Staff were friendly. Flexible check-out time. Rooms are quiet with good sound-proofing.

Not a hotel, just a set of rooms really. No cleaning of rooms during stay, and no reception area, but you can message the manager. Room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly - there were quite a lot of old coffee cups in a cupboard and previous guest’s loose cigarettes in bedside drawer, so clearly the cleaners don’t do a thorough job. Towels and bedding were clean but were all stained in some way, should be replaced.

The location is handy to Amstelstation and was quiet and comfortable.

The bathroom plumbing had a bad smell and the kitchenette was too small. There were not a lot of options for dinner in the area during Dec/Jan.
