Comfortable airy room near art museums...excellent!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had a great stay. Excellent location for the Van Gogh and Rijks Museums (1-2 blocks) with Metro stops at each museum location. There are some good restaurants in the area, but there are not many restaurants in total. Very helpful staff. The hotel rooms are basic and some are in the basement with small upper windows. The street makes you feel very […] secluded. Read more

Excellent staff, cool location, Classy hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really, really great location. The staffs are extremely friendly and helpful. I love the idea of an adult only hotel, it's great to meet wonderful travelers over a glass of wine in the chaos free lobby. The rooms are well equipped with iPod docking, flat screen TV, DVD player, and Nespresso machine!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Free DVDs, Staff always helpful, amenities were awesome. Was afraid that we wouldn't leave the bathroom with the jetted tub and TV in there Only drawback was parking. Very Expensive and had to keep getting daily passes. Public Transportation stops within a block from hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Perfectly located - well designed for aesthetics and functionality - attentive friendly staff - quiet (if you are not right by the elevator door as are #90 and #92). Executive and Executive+ rooms are particularly comfortable. Highly recommend for business travelers.

We found JL 76 on line -- it seems to be too new to have made it into the standard guide books. What a nifty little hotel -- bright, cheery with a bit of whimsy in the decor and it's on a lovely tree-edged street close to the major museums. Even I, a less than enthusiastic hiker, was able to tour most of the sights on our list on foot or by using the […] trams which are very easy to utilize. Just watch the locals for cues on how to tap your fare card on a signal button to get on and off. Tram fares can be paid onboard in the last car -- so don't worry about having the right change. Our JL 76 room was small, though comparable with most of the new boutique hotel spaces we've stayed in. The bed features a mattress brand we'd never heard of: Coco-Mat. I was a bit dubious as some of the things trumpeted as being "green" aren't always the most comfortable. Turned out the mattress was quite comfy, as well as eco-friendly. Win. Win. One note, one room on each floor is a bit tinier than the others as space is given up for the lift. We had one of the smaller rooms -- #302. These rooms don't have tubs. The showers overhead "rain" shower head was soothing, though I missed having a good soak after all the walking. The lobby space offers cafe tables and chairs for small plates snacking and wine. The food was very tasty and the servers were charming. We found it to be a good place to meet up with family and friends and had a just-right light dinner there one night when we were too tired to venture out again after a day of touring. Our room was on the back side of the hotel and it was very quiet. BTW: some rooms are located on what the hotel calls "the -1 level" which I didn't explore. The lobby is on the "0" level so I'd ask what "minus one" means before completing your booking. The color scheme in the rooms is charcoal grey and bright shiny white. I sew for a hobby and the very luxe floor-to-ceiling grey satin drapes gave me material envy while adding softness to the room and assurin Read more

The hotel is a great location, and has a nice feel to it with updated rooms. I was there on a long layover, and wanted to check out the hotel for a future trip.The night manager Andre was great and very helpful. My only complaint was with the person I checked out with in the morning. I was under the impression that a breakfast bar was included in the […] rate. I had a shuttle to the airport waiting and asked the guy checking me out if it is okay to grab a bagel to take in the shuttle, he said go ahead. when I came back to sign my credit card, he added $30 breakfast charge to my bill. Of course, he would not take it off, and insisted I can stay for a full breakfast, which is unlimited. This is while the shuttle is waiting outside. Okay, my mistake for assuming breakfast was included in my rate, but very poor when I asked him that I was going to grab a bagel then charging me $30.00. These are the little things that taint the whole experiece more than anything else. I would suggest improving the service that factors in a common sense approach. Instead, I felt like I was getting taken. Read more

If it wasn't for the friendly desk staff and food service personnel this property would be a disaster. Thank goodness they are doing their best to overcome all of the oversights of the maintenance and cleaning crew. We stayed 3 night and were without enough towels for two of them, lacked working light bulbs the entire time, and continually had a problem […] with the cleaning staff monopolizing the elevators.

JL No 76 is a new hotel, maybe a bit too new, as construction is still underway with numerous details throughout the hotels that still needed attention, but appeared to be in the process of being addressed. That said, the hotel has great potential with comfortable rooms and a good atmosphere. Very modern design with clean design. The location is in […] a quite neighborhood that is well within walking distance to food and attractions. The tram is only 3 blocks away, which will get you anywhere in town. We had expected the minibar and selfservice bar in the lobby to be comlimentary based upon other hotels in the area, but that was not the case. The in room coffee was nice. We had a basement room, which didn't afford much of a view, but we really only slept in the room, so it wasn't a big issue, in fact it made sleeping in very easy. We were pleased with the hotel for our first trip to Amsterdam, would return again. Read more

Excellent hotel and location. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds and great design.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We first arrived and were put in a twin room (two single beds pushed together), but after speaking to the front desk they were able to move us to a proper 'double' room. Decor is nice, good lighting - loved the Jacuzzi bath, and it's in a really nice part of Amsterdam - particularly if you like high end shopping (there are all the designer shops in […] the next street and a diamond museum just around the corner). Good transport links - a bus to the airport leaves from near the hotel. Super comfy beds. Only downsides were that the aircon (or at least that's what I think it was- could have been other people's showers) was rather noisy. That, and instead of a 'Do not Disturb' sign, they offer a 'Please clean my room between 9am and 5pm', which, if you want to lie in a bit, isn't very helpful! Read more

Overall very good. The hotel was a bit further away from the office than I had anticipated, but that's not something to rate it on! Not many restaurants in the close vicinity though. However overall very clean, reception friendly and would recommend.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a very stylish hotel, but sometimes style has been given preference over practicality, e.g the extremely wide and shallow handbasin is not handy for wet shavers! The light over the basin was so poor that only half of one's face was lit. We found it strange to have to pay for wi-fi when so many cafes offer it for the price of a cup of coffee. The […] beds and pillows were the most comfortable we have encountered in many years of travel! The hotel is in an excellent location: quiet street yet close to museums, restaurants and shops.

Fully lived up to the description on the Expedia site. The room was modern, compact but extremely well designed, we stayed in an executive room. The bed was very comfortable and the air-con quiet and efficient. Although the hotel is in a relatively quiet tree lined street it is a mere five minute walk to the Van Gogh museum, and a pleasant stroll to […] the Leidse Straat restaurant area. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Situated in the beautiful museum quarter, this charming hotel is away from the hustle and bustle but the great location means that you're around 20 mins walk from Dam Square. Hotel was very clean although having the sink outside of the bathroom was a bit odd but added to the quirkiness of the hotel. There is an honesty bar in the main lobby with comfortable […] chairs and a TV and the room service food was impressive. Only downside is that there is an 8 euro daily charge for wi-fi. Bed was extremely comfortable to the extent it was difficult to get out of in the mornings. We stayed in an Executive Delux Room which had a jacuzzi bath with TV in the bathroom. Would stay here again. Read more

Lovely hotel in a good location. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful

The room was very nice and clean but was located atbground floor immediatly behind the reception, so there was a terrible noise the first night. The second one was better as the noisy people left e hotel, but I would always ask a room located on the upper floors. The hotel is completely new and located in a beautiful area, this is the place to go when […] you stay in Amsterdam. Read more

The rooms were pretty good size with plenty of closet and storage space. The rooms are very nice quality and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and the location is very close to Vondel park and some nice shopping streets. I will definitely stay there again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My daughter and I stayed at this lovely hotel for three days in April 2012. We wanted a quiet location close to the art museums with convenient access to a boat tour and trams. We were also close to a major pick-up point for our tour to the K. Gardens as well as fabulous shopping. The room was comfy, tastefully decorated and very clean. We are both […] tall but a shorter person might have difficulty getting into the deep tub for a bath or shower. I'm sure the hotel has a step for you should you need it!!? The staff was helpful and charming. We rated this and our 5 star Sofitel Hotel as the most pleasant stays of our holiday. Thanks so much to KL 76! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We chose this hotel because of its location and the fact that it had a restaurant. It was situated in a very pleasant residential area within five minutes' walk of the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmueum, Vondelpark, the Concertgebouw and trams. The restaurant had a very limited menu, but as we had arrived at about 7.30 p.m. wanting a light meal, it suited […] us very well. Our standard room on the top floor was small, but had everything we needed. The tiny bathroom consisted of a shower and toilet, with a sink and vanity area in the room itself. This rather unusual arrangement had advantages, not least because we did not have to compete for the bathroom! The decor of the room and hotel was ultra-modern, but stylish. Members of staff were very helpful, and the hotel was ideal for a short break in Amsterdam for "culture vultures". The cyclists in Amsterdam don't wear crash helmets, but the "doggies in the window" at JL No. 76 do! Read more

The hotel is a small, modern hotel in the Museum district of the city which is leafy and quiet. We were warmly greeted, before being allocated our room on the 3rd floor right next to the lift which concerned me, especially because we had asked for the nicest of rooms for our anniversary weekend. The room was on the small side (this was expected as […] other reviews had informed us of this) but modern, comfortable and overall very clean with just a few minor exceptions. The worst part was the design of the entrance corridor which both the wardrobe and shower, not bathroom, opened onto which caused a traffic jam on occasions! The bed proved to be particularly comfortable; the lift was never an issue, I would have liked a bath but overall we had a very pleasant stay. Read more

Great little hotel in a quiet non-touristic area, however it's close to all the attractions if you are looking for that. Was here for business. Room was great eventhough at the front of the hotel I could sleep with the window open without being woken up by the usual Amsterdam noise. Rooms are tidy, good quality beds and furniture so I will definitely […] go there again. Read more

We spent three very enjoyable nights at Hotel JL no76. Room on 4th floor was clean, modern and had all the comforts we needed, particularly liked the nespresso machine, jacuzzi bath and super comfy bed and pillows. An ideal base for a couple seeking a simple boutique style hotel for a few nights. Only slight problem was location, although the hotel […] is in a nice, quiet area of town there was still quite a walk to the main restaurants/buzz of the city although tram is nearby and on reflection we probably would have preferred to stay on one of the pretty canals in the western area of the city which was our favourite area. Found some excellent restaurants/bars in the north west area of the city (near da jordaan) that were full of friendly locals and slightly more authentic than the centre of the city. Read more

The hotel is situated in an upmarket residential area, within easy walking distance of several areas of interest, many of the museums, a multitude of restaurants and the 'designer' shopping area. Transport is within easy reach with tram stops for different lines at either end of the street. We arrived at the hotel mid-afternoon to be told we had been […] allocated an executive room in the basement. We asked if there was any chance of a move to an upper floor but unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked. Having read some of the other reviews, we were somewhat concerned that it would be noisy in the basement, however, the only thing we actually found to be a slight downside was the subterranean style windows which, being the middle of a particularly grey winter spell, did not allow a huge amount of natural light into the room. On our way back out of the hotel later that afternoon, we asked if there was any chance of a move to another room the following night and the extremely helpful young chap behind the desk quickly obliged in allocating us a room on the top floor for the following evening. The move went without hitch and the new room had a huge panoramic window spanning the whole width affording us great views across the rooftops of the city. Both rooms were tastefully decorated and as some reviews have mentioned, the beds were extremely comfortable. The bathrooms (exec rooms) were modern with jacuzzi baths, rain shower, and television! We did not make use of the honesty bar facilities nor did we take breakfast as we preferred to try out some of the many eateries and bars around the nearby canals. This hotel provided a great base for our short stay and will be our definite choice when we return in the summer! Read more

If you would like to be in a great location in Amsterdam, in a new hotel in a picturesque place, stay at this hotel! We didn't plan it, but we were in the heart of the Museum District, literally one block from the Van Gogh Museum. The other direction, we could walk ten minutes to Leidesplein, where we could shop and eat, or just two minutes to a tram […] stop that goes through the middle of town to Central Station. Lovely and helpful people working on the front desk and lobby. Read more

What a find. THis was our first visit to Amsterdam and I'm delighted we picked to stay here. Jan Luijkenstraat is a quiet little side street but perfectly located for whatever you may require - one road over and you're on the Amsterdam equivalent of 5th Avenue: Tiffany & Co, Gucci, Tumi, Hugo Boss, Bulgari (ouch!!) or go one road the other way and the […] Van Gogh, Bols and Diamond museums are within 100 meters! At the end of the road is a tram stop that will take you up into the centre and all the way to the main station or it's just a short walk to the Heineken Experience and a host of other touristy things. The hotel itself is small (typical for Amsterdam) but quiet and very well appointed. The honesty bar is a nice touch and free Wi-Fi was a Godsend for planning the next day's excursion. I would definitely recommend the JL 76 to anybody going to Amsterdam. Read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a hotel on Expedia priced so well - Amsterdam hotels, especially for short stays, can be relatively expensive. Location so close to the Rijksmuseum and the van Gogh Museum, and within a lovely walk's distance to the center, was another selling point. The hotel itself did not disappoint at all. Room was beautifully […] designed and furnished. Faced the street, but noise didn't interfere with sleep. Breakfast a great (if pricey) buffet of hot and cold options. I'll definitely stay here when I'm back in town. Read more

Smallish room and bathroom as expected in Amsterdam. Nicely furnished and well equipped. Coffee machine, tea , glasses, mini bar etc. Air conditioning a bit noisy and not terribly effective or controllable (in our hands anyway). Next to the lift but an exceptionally quiet lift so not a problem , though some noise from people especially returning late […] at night. Breakfast variable .On the whole a good selection . Very good one day with lovely fresh fruit salad and nice croissants but bit disappointing another when the only fruit was a few tired apples and croissants were hard and apparently stale. Location in a quiet street , very near museums , trams parks etc. Nice public area with funky art , coffee tea and honesty bar Staff very friendly and exceptionally helpful . Would recommend. Travel tip - don't order the airport shuttle . Didn't arrive after 55 minutes, having been booked earlier in the day, and despite numerous calls from the hotel staff. Taxi to airport not much more expensive and arrived within minutes. Worth the extra few Euros. Train and tram cheap and fast too if you don't have too much luggage. Read more

This hotel is a small, boutique hotel, with a small open plan reception, lobby and restaurant on the ground floor. It has just been decorated and a few workmen were still on site when we were there, but they were discreet and didn't affect us at all. The rooms are lovely. Clean, very comfy beds, although the pillows are a little too large, but they […] are very soft, a great flat screen tv with lots of channels, and a modern bathroom. My bedroom didn't have a bath but had a modern walk in shower, although my colleagues' room had a bath with a flat screen tv in bathroom! Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and the only reason I haven't given it a five is that the breakfast was 19.00 euros which I think is a lot, and there isn't really anything on the doorstep, so we went without until we found somewhere suitable. There is an honesty bar where you can buy soft drinks and alchohol and also tea and coffee in the lounge area. It is about a 20 minute walk to the centre of Amsterdam and a 10 minute walk from a large selection of restaurants and the canal where you can take a canal trip. You can catch a tram very easily from Central Station to nearby the hotel - we caught no 5. Read more
