Stanley Collection Hotel Hegra Amsterdam

We spent a little bit more money and got a canal view room! Was beautiful and such a lovely addition to our already amazing trip. Room was perfect for 2 people for a couple of nights. Relatively clean and we managed to get into our room a little earlier than expected, which was a bonus. Staff were excellent, friendly and so accommodating. There was a lady who checked us in but I didn’t get her name - she was lovely and friendly. Also Paulo who gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation which we haven’t stopped talking about! The location of the property is perfect, if you are not as interested in the slightly seedier side of Amsterdam (which we weren’t!). Located in the beautiful 9 streets area, which has an abundance of cute vintage shops, little boutiques and restaurants and lots of canal bridges for the Instagram worthy pictures. We absolutely loved it here and spent the majority of the time wandering around the shops and stopping for pancakes or stroopwafels (we recommend PANCAKES and Lanskroom - I literally cannot stop thinking about the Lanskroom stroopwafels!) We saw lots of complaints in the reviews before our stay about the stairs in the hotel. Yes, they are steep…you are staying in (possibly) a 17th century canal house! You might walk up/down the stairs a handful of times during your stay. If you take your time, you’ll be fine!!! Also, we saw complaints about the rooms being cold - this was not an issue for us either! Room was lovely and warm!

I liked the location, and the clean, warm atmosphere. The staff at the reception area, Paulo and the other gentleman was a GOD send. They were very kind and understanding of my recent injury, that made it difficult to navigate stairs. They were extremely accommodating and knew their craft very well. They had great knowledge of the city and the surrounding area. I appreciate friendly staff who love what they do and are exceptional at it.

Loved the location and the staff. The beds were comfortable. Our room was on the 4th floor and as with most small accomodation in Amsterdam, there was no lift. The stairs are very very steep, almost ladders which is fun but would not suit anyone who wasn’t able to climb up and down. And is not good for anyone with a bag bigger than a carry on bag. And the bathroom is tiny but has everything you need. But we did enjoy our stay.

This was an experience, not a usual hotel stay. This is a 400 year old building and therefore unique. It was charming and within walking distance to everything and right on the canal. The gentlemen who work there are extremely pleasant and helpful and ready with an umbrella! Coffee, water and juice were available.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, my experience was absolutely delightful. To start, the staff at this hotel truly went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Their warm and attentive approach made me feel welcome and valued as a guest from the moment I arrived. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests, making me feel incredibly well-cared for throughout my stay. The room itself was cozy and well-maintained, providing a perfect haven for a solo traveler like me. I didn't have a canal view, but as an early bird, I enjoyed watching the sunrise from the room. The bed was incredibly comfortable, guaranteeing a restful night's sleep, and the amenities provided were of high quality. The attention to detail in the room's design and cleanliness further enhanced my overall experience. What truly stood out about this hotel was its prime location. I was situated right in the heart of the city, allowing for easy access to various attractions, restaurants, and shopping centers. Exploring the area and immersing myself in the local culture was a breeze thanks to the hotel's convenient location. Whether it was strolling through charming neighborhoods or visiting renowned landmarks, everything was just a stone's throw away.
