Hotel Larende didn’t feel like just a hotel — they welcomed us like family. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient: close to the airport and also near the tram line to get to the city center. You can even walk there in about half an hour. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, too. The breakfast was excellent. We’d especially like to thank the hotel owner Mr. Murat, as well as Mr. Ramazan, Ms. Asya, Mr. Kenan and all the other staff. We’re especially grateful for how warmly they supported us during a difficult time. If I ever come back to Amsterdam, I’ll definitely choose Hotel Larende again. We love you all. We won't forget your hospitality. Have a great day! :)

The staff are friendly and helpful, the room is clean, and they serve specialty coffee on request. Breakfast is simple yet satisfying, and they quickly resolved my booking issue. The location is convenient with supermarket and restaurants nearby, the bed is comfortable, and the check-in process is smooth. Wi-Fi is stable, and housekeeping keeps everything tidy throughout the stay.

The rooms are a bit dated, with bathroom doors showing some rot at the edges despite being clean. Street-facing rooms can be noisy, and with the tram to the central station under renovation, getting there currently requires a detour.

My stay was great. I've asked for a quite room in the back. I booked a single room. They upgraded me to a cozy, quite and clean double room facing the back. Many thanks for that. The breakfast was simple but everything was fresh. The coffee was special. Made from an old stile italian coffee machine and served at request on the table. Delicious. The street, and surroudings are full of all kinds of shops, restaurants, supermarkets, bars and many more. The conection to Central Station is easy. The staff is super friendly, they are always there, with a smile, to help you. So, no down side at all. I would highly recommend The Larende Hotel

Nothing

What an excellent hotel! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice (and it was quiet, being at the back of the hotel) and everything was clean. The bathroom was much larger than average for this type of hotel/room, and the shower was great. The location was convenient for sightseeing, restaurants and food shops. The breakfast offered a good range of foods, relative to the size of the hotel. We had a great time there, and would definitely recommend the hotel. (The beds were comfortable, but some people might find them much too firm.)

The hotel's website instructions about how to get to the hotel by tram had not been updated to take into account the fact that the number 13 tram no longer goes from the train station (we do not know if this is temporary or permanent, but it certainly was not a short-term change), so it was very confusing when we arrived at Amsterdam Centraal after a full day's travelling.

This place is an excellent place to stay. The room was so organized and arranged in a way that the furnishing fits the space perfectly. The hotel concept was really classic. The cafe was positioned at the entrance, outlooking the street, creating a cozy ambiance. And they provide breakfast for the amount that I paid, which I think is really worth it. But the lady sitting behind the reception counter can sound rather unfriendly. But otherwise the other staff are warm and nice. Overall, this designer of this 3-star hotel should be promoted to another level.

The lady behind the counter. Pls smile.

I had a wonderful stay here! I really enjoyed the balcony - it was a lovely spot to relax. The mattress was absolutely exceptional. The location is also fantastic, just a short walk from the tram station, so it’s very easy to get to the city center or to the major museums. The room was very quiet, which made it easy to rest at any time of day. The breakfast was great for us – it might be a bit simple for some, but we found it more than satisfying. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. All in all, a great experience!

Our stay had some downsides, unfortunately. The TV remote only worked if you pressed the buttons very hard, which was quite frustrating. The shower drain couldn’t keep up with the water flow when it was set to maximum or even near maximum, so we had to be careful not to flood the bathroom. The balcony door didn’t close completely – there was a visible gap in the frame. Luckily, it was quiet outside, so it didn’t bother us too much. Also, there was no ashtray on the balcony. Maybe we should have asked at the reception, but we improvised in the good old-fashioned way. :) Overall, these things didn’t ruin our stay, but they definitely could be improved. We enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely return here when we visit Amsterdam again.

Staff was amazing and very helpful! The breakfast include was good as well.

The balcony wasn’t very inviting. The view wasn’t good and did not want to sit out there.

The staff were all lovely.. especially the man that was working on Christmas day..he couldn't do enough for all the guests.. the location was quiet residential, so it was lovely for walks into the city and back.. the spa bath was incredible. Comfy bed and lovely balcony at the back as requested.. rooms cleaned everyday.. tasty coffee whenever you want.

Being really picky!..Although tasty, the breakfast could offer a bit more option.. ie Bananas, yogurt, bagels, hot options. And the kettle that we got from reception for the room had alot of limescale at the bottom so we didn't have any morning tea..but the nice coffee at reception made up for this..

Small comfortable hotel. Friendly staff, always ready to help. Excellent Wi-Fi. The main plus is that it is very clean! It’s nice when a three-star hotel has such snow-white towels and bed linen. The room was warm, there was a radiator (even in the bathroom) and air conditioning, so things that got wet in the rain dried very quickly. Another plus is the location. Walking distance to the center is only 15 - 20 minutes. The hotel is located on a street with trams. This did not bother me at all, but if you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room with windows facing the courtyard)).

The bed was a little hard. Although it is good for the back)).

This small hotel was everything we needed for our holiday in Amsterdam. The location is perfect, it is surrounded by various restaurants (and a food hallen) which you could easily walk to. Tram 13 wasn’t working when we were there, but nonetheless transport was super efficient. A tram stop (Willem de Zwijgerlaan) is literally about 1 minute away from the hotel, which makes commuting super easy. Transport in Amsterdam is very efficient and frequent. The hotel staff was always very nice and helpful. They greeted us with a warm welcome every time we were back at the hotel. Our room was always clean, and towels were changed every day whilst we were out roaming the city. The room was small, but had everything we needed. The breakfast was quite simple, but it is more then enough; great coffee, cold cuts, cheese, toast, cereal, yoghurt, jams, croissants, fruit salad, eggs, juices. Simple yet great and filling. Having read a lot of reviews, and having been assigned a room facing the main road, I was afraid tram noises would be annoying - but they weren’t. We weren’t bothered by the tram sounds every so often. The view from our room at sunset - was beautiful. Our stay was lovely, and we had a blast visiting the city. Also, communication with the staff at the hotel was made very easy through booking.com chat and they answered all questions we had prior to arriving at the hotel.

- The AC in our room was not so cool. Our last night especially was a bit too warm, so we opened our room window for some breeze. - As also read from the reviews beds might be a bit hard, but nothing too uncomfortable. I have read you could also ask for a softer bed at reception :) - A complimentary water bottle would have been greatly appreciated, though there is a mini fridge which one could buy drinks from. Other than that, the hotel gave us all we needed for a lovely stay :)
