Mr Jordaan

Mr Jordaan sits on the Bloemgracht, one of the Jordaan's most attractive canals. Once a working-class district, the Jordaan is now one of Amsterdam's best-loved neighbourhoods. Its narrow streets are lined with independent shops, art galleries, and traditional brown cafés. The Anne Frank House and the Nine Streets are a short walk away, and the Bloemgracht tram stop is four minutes from the hotel.

The interiors are calm and personal, with soft colours, retro furniture and exposed brick. The hotel feels more like a well-designed home than a traditional hotel.

Rooms are compact, as is typical in the Jordaan, but well laid out. The beds are comfortable, and the details are thoughtful. Some rooms overlook the canal.

There is no restaurant or bar, but breakfast is excellent. It is served in a relaxed room that feels like a local café, and the Jordaan's restaurants are right on the doorstep for dinner.
