Barchem Holidays

If you want to stay outside the main rush of Amsterdam while keeping easy access to the city, this hotel is a really good option. It’s located in a quiet estate—which makes for lovely, peaceful walks in the summer—and is just a 15-minute walk to the nearest train station for a quick trip into the center. The Room & Entertainment Spacious & Spotless: Everything was perfectly clean, and the room had plenty of space. For a 2.5-star hotel, the room quality felt like so much more. Comfy Bed: Features a comfortable double bed. Great TV Setup: The TV is positioned perfectly for watching Netflix or YouTube in the evenings (though regular TV channels are limited). Mini-Fridge: It’s empty upon arrival, but spacious enough to easily fit a 1.5L bottle on the side and a few other things. The Bathroom Very spacious with a nice walk-in shower. My only minor wish would be a slightly stronger water pressure, but it absolutely still did the job. Amenities & Verdict Note: The hotel does lack extra amenities like a gym or a pool; it’s pretty much just the rooms and the on-site restaurant. That being said, for the excellent price we paid, we were incredibly impressed. If we find ourselves visiting Amsterdam again, we would definitely stay here again!

Lovely hotel, full of character and charm with the most friendliest and helpful of staff. Excellent location in the centre of the city close to the major sights and attractions. Good amenities in room and very quiet. Enjoyed delicious breakfast and evening meal in Jansz restaurant and found the Garden relaxing and the Pulitzer Bar very atmospheric and a lovely way to end the day, both of which are used by locals too. Very kind touch with card and treats given on the occasion of my birthday by the hotel. Have stayed here several times before and cannot wait to return.

Clean and large rooms. Free laundry facilities. Less than 5mins from metro/tram stops for a 10-15minute ride into the city centre. Loved the vibe of the place too. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Amenities provided in room were top notch.

A/C condition is not working. I asked to change the room, they did it, but A/C in the 2nd room also was broken.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel, or maybe it was in the last. Room was quite dark and not well maintained. Nice bathroom
