We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our 16 day holiday. Great location only a couple blocks from train station to get you to everywhere quickly and affordably. Walking distance to historic windmill village. Only caution is that local restaurants close earlier than those in the big city.

Disappointed by manager John
Great hotel but room key stopped working each day. Reception was a 20 min walk from hotel and closed at 10.30. Very stressful if key didnt work, staff quite unhelpful. Manager called "John" was quite abrupt and unhelpful when i told him of key not working, said it happened all the time. Very unsafe if cant access your room after 10.30 on the streets of amsterdam. Very veru disappointing

The hotel looks beautiful but customer service processes are complicated. On our second of three nights, we were locked out of our room, along with other guests for hours, until the early hours of the morning. The after hours number was not in service. The wifi password was wrong, and being in a foreign country wifi access is critical, especially in emergency situations like this. Our passports were not accessible, and after searching for advice we were about to call the Police when someone finally showed up. It was very scary. I have yet to hear back from my many emails. The housekeeping service is not great. Our coffee was never replenished, dirty coffee cups were left in the room, and our linens were never changed, despite being outside in the rain, and making them damp. Operations seem unorganized, and I wanted to love this place. I am expecting a refund for at least one night. I left the Netherlands sick with a cold, ruining our last two vacation days.

The hotel is perfect if you ever need to stay in the north of Amsterdam. However there are a few things to consider. Staff and reception is a couple blocks away, so in case of something needed, you must need to walk there (we need to it because our key card was deactivated) … Besides That bed and shower are great.

This is s great option for a short stay. The area of Zaanse Schans is not too large for someone to explore for more than two days, and this place is perfect for that. It's close to the center of the town and is really close to the train station, so there's no need to walk long distances with suitcases and belongings.

A perfect retreat for a long weekend break
Superb location in a quiet residential street opposite a historic chocolate factory. We were in easy walking distance of working windmills, pubs, restaurants and a station with regular sprinter trains to Amsterdam. On arrival, we parked directly outside the hotel and used a network of trails to explore both sides of the river. The room had a large, comfortable bed, a huge tv, a walk-in wet room and fast wi-fi. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a retreat from the buzz of Amsterdam.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are indeed located in a quiet area yet not far from the city of Amsterdam and of course the Zaanse Schans.

Nice boutique hotel
Nice little new boutique hotel near train station. Room key needs to be collected at another hotel about 5 minutes walk away. Was allocated a room on the third floor and there is a very steep flight of steps from second to third storey. There are also no hooks in the bathroom to hang towel/clothes.

Het vinden voor het inchecken was lastig te vinden aangezien het adres op meerder plekken zit. De kamer zag er netjes uit. Het matras schoof helemaal naar beneden misschien een hoeslaken eromheen doen zodat deze op zijn plek blijft. Geen haakjes in de badkamer voor handdoeken dat was echt een gemis. Ook mogen de lampen en het plafond gestoft worden. Verder was de kamer prima

Op zich prima, maar schept misschien te hoge verwachtingen. Kamer is niet echt schoon (vlekken in de lakens, stofnesten aan achterzijde koelkastje, vegen op de schuifdeur naar de badkamer, vieze vloerbedekking op de trap etc) en heeft een matige afwerking (afbladderende verf, vochtvlekken op de muur). Er wordt ook niets gedaan met de veel gelezen feedback dat er behoefte is aan haakjes in de badkamer, want die ontbraken nog steeds, wat inderdaad erg onhandig is, zeker bij het ontbreken van een douchescherm. Daarnaast was onze zolderkamer bloedheet bij aankomst, en was de handleiding van de airco niet de juiste en onduidelijk, waardoor het lang duurde voor we deze goed aan de praat kregen. Tot slot is de lokatie ook niet de meest charmante (wel dicht bij het station, maar meer in woongebied, waardoor wij last hadden van een feestje bij de buren tot 03:00 uur). Personeel is er niet aanwezig, alleen in het hotel 10 minuten lopen verderop.

Ótima estadia no Boutique Hotel 43.
O Boutique Hotel 43 oferece uma forma diferente de hospedagem e eu gostei disso. O quarto tem um bom tamanho para um casal com poucas malas. Oferece TV de qualidade, frigobar (vazio), boa iluminação, ótimo chuveiro e cama. O guarda-roupas é pequeno, mas dá pra se ajustar. Sugestões de melhorias: ter mais um ou dois espelhos verticais no quarto, pois só tem o do banheiro; colocar suportes de toalhas no banheiro e suporte para pendurar casacos, bolsas, etc.

Neben dem Hotel steht eine Schokoladenfabrik, wodurch es in der gesamten Umgebung sehr penetrant nach Schokolade riecht. Ansonsten ist die Nähe zum Bahnhof definitiv von Vorteil.

Zeer prettige mooie kamer, op wandelafstand van station en lokale winkels. Iets minder was de verwarming in de kamer. Deze werd geregeld met een airco-achtig systeem, maar deze raakte waarschijnlijk niet aan de gevraagde temperatuur en monitorde ook niet de warmte, met als resultaat dat het eind januari heel erg koud was in de kamer en moeilijk op te warmen.
