A canal-side base in the Jordaan where the staff do the heavy lifting and the neighbourhood does the rest.
Best for / Tips to get it right
Best for
- Couples who want to sleep in a neighbourhood rather than a tourist strip: 24 of 49 reviews (49%) highlight the location and 10 (20%) call the area quiet.
- Solo travellers who value a safe, calm base: one guest wrote she "could not have felt more safe and comfortable" as a single female traveller, and the staff get 31 mentions (63%).
- Light sleepers who want canal views without street noise: 10 reviews (20%) point to the quiet of the Jordaan, and several mention rooms overlooking the canal.
- Travellers without a car: the hotel is on a canal street in the Jordaan, and guests describe walking to the Anne Frank House, canal tours and the tram in 10 to 20 minutes.
- People who like small treats and a bit of character: reviews mention candy on the main table, pastries at 4pm and a welcome gift.
Tips to get it right
- Ask for a canal-view room if you want the postcard, several guests name it as the highlight of their stay.
- Check whether breakfast is in your rate before booking, 9 reviews (18%) praise it and it is worth confirming on the hotel's own site.
- If you sleep lightly, request a room away from the street, one review mentions noise from outside.
- Look at the room size on the hotel's website before you pick, several guests note that European city rooms run small and the L-shaped layout in one review made airflow tricky.
Why this one
Mr Jordaan Hotel sits on Bloemgracht, one of the Jordaan's canal streets, and 817 Google reviews give it a 4.7. We read 49 of them for this piece. The signal that repeats most is the staff: 31 of those 49 reviews (63%) mention them, with lines like "Super friendly and helpful staff." That is not a small thing in a city where check-in queues can feel like an airport. Location comes next, named in 24 reviews (49%). The quotes point to the same idea from different angles. One guest calls it "a lovely quiet area" and another says you can "walk to attractions all over the city in about 10-20 minutes." Ten of the 49 reviews (20%) specifically praise how quiet it is. For a hotel this central, that combination is the reason it is here today. Breakfast shows up in 9 reviews (18%) and cleanliness in another 9 (18%). The bed gets 4 mentions (8%). None of these are the headline. They are the supporting cast that lets the staff and the location do their thing.
What guests keep saying
The staff are the most repeated theme: 31 of 49 reviews (63%) mention them, often with the same words, friendly and helpful. One guest sums it up: "The staff was so nice and helpful." Another says the young women at reception make you "feel right at home." That is a lot of reviews for a small sample, and it shows up in the small things too, like a welcome gift and a parting gift. The location is the second pillar, with 24 mentions (49%). Guests describe the Jordaan as "a lovely quiet area" and "the most beautiful in Amsterdam." Breakfast gets 9 mentions (18%), cleanliness 9 (18%), and the bed 4 (8%). One guest calls the breakfast "delicious" and another says it "fully prepared us for a busy day." The picture is of a small hotel that gets the basics right and adds a bit of charm.

The bit the hotel does not tell you
The hotel has a communal area that guests describe as relaxing and quiet, with free coffee, water and little treats through the day. One review mentions pastries set out at 4pm and candy on the main table. If you are arriving before check-in or leaving after, that space is worth knowing about. Several guests also mention the stairs are steep and narrow, which is common in Jordaan canal houses, so pack light if you can.
