    Pros +

    • What wasn't there to like!! We were welcomed into this beautiful and unique menagerie like we were old friends. The rooms are larger than I was expecting for an old Amsterdam house, the bathroom was clean and the shower had great pressure. The bed for me is the highlight! I had better sleep here than I do at home. Breakfast is absolutely delicious and sets you up perfectly for the day!!
    • The friendliness of the staff. The breakfasts were very good. The bar is fabulous. The furnishings in the bar and the room are quirky and just a delight.
    • We had a warm welcome in this small canalside boutique hotel . Low lighting , mirrors and bric a brac set a dramatic backdrop for the cocktail bar in which we enjoyed breakfast every morning. Rosalia's is in central Amsterdam , set amidst colourful shops and cafes .Our 2 rooms upstairs were individually themed and impeccably clean . The beds were comfy and luxurious . Mine overlooked the busy canal and was surprisingly quiet . A substantial delicious breakfast was provided each morning.

    Cons -

    • That I couldn't stay longer!!
    • Better communication with Booking.com
    • The quirky historical building has no lift- we found out only after Booking (and payment). There were a few days of anxiety bouncing between Booking.com and the Owner about its suitability for our stay . We just about managed the steep stairs - they definitely aren't for the elderly frail and disabled (*us) or weak of spirit!

    Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and perfectly located for getting around the city. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of fresh options, and the bar was a highlight — great atmosphere and very well-made cocktails.

    9DomagojPosted on: 12-16-2025

    Perfect location for a truly relaxing stay. Although located in the city center, it remains an ideal place to unwind and enjoy some quiet time away from the crowds.

    The selection of breakfast ingredients and the arrival/check-in process were somewhat confusing. We didn’t mind, but it’s worth noting that the stairs are very narrow and steep.

    10PhilipPosted on: 12-11-2025

    The breakfast was excellent. Locally sourced food and good service. The location is ideal for exploring Amsterdam. The room was quiet, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The owners and staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We were informed by other catering and distillery staff that it serves the best cocktails and has the nicest atmosphere of all the cocktail bars in Amsterdam. We would certainly agree with that. We will certainly come again. Thank you for everything.

    Location was great.

    The room looked and felt tired and in need of a total refresh and update. The staff in general were disinterested in us except for the breakfast guy, who was great and very attentive.

    10JillyPosted on: 11-12-2025

    The location was fantastic, the breakfast was tasty, and the room lovely and quaint. The cocktail bar was really good (cocktails also very tasty!), and slipping through the 'secret' door to the Inn upstairs was cool! We were here to go to the Ziggo Dome to see Lady GaGa (AMAZING!!!) so the proximity to the Metro was a huge advantage.

    Nothing - we were very happy with our stay, and would definitely look at staying here again next time we are in Amsterdam.

    The cozyness, style, originality and perfectly fitted portions in everything. Bed was super comfortable. Personal attention and information given.

    That I only booked one night :')

    10HelenPosted on: 11-1-2025

    Utterly gorgeous property in a brilliant location. The staff were so friendly and the bed was beyond comfortable. Definitely coming back

    Nothing!!!

    9JonathanPosted on: 10-29-2025

    Superb little place. The breakfast is great and accommodated my dietary requirements. Both the host and staff were very friendly and helpful. Always a great perk having a cocktail bar in your hotel too!

    It’s a traditional building, so the windows are single glazed. It can be a bit cold. Perhaps a bigger heater would be better. The bathroom could do with a spruce up too. It all worked though and wouldn’t put me off returning again.

    Charming place with a good breakfast and a fantastic location. The bar downstairs had a great vibe and the staff were exceptional.

    10MiekePosted on: 10-15-2025

    I loved the speakeasy down stairs, they also carried my large luggage up the steep stairs for me. Everyone was so nice and the room was clean.

    No complaints

    10MehdiPosted on: 10-12-2025

    Very unique property. Right in the heart of the city. Excellent cocktails in the evenings & breakfast in the morning after.

    6DavidPosted on: 10-7-2025

    It was clean and secure ..Breakfast was spot on all fresh and cooked to order..

    €17 for a beer I thought was a bit steep

    Stairs are very very narrow and steep.People who may have problems with narrow and steep stairs should be careful.

    This stay was a great location and walkable to just about everything. Very close to the Red Light District (which is an interesting area), but far enough away that it's mostly quiet. We did have loud voices we heard from the streets below us on multiple occasions. The breakfasts were good and a plus. The stairs are very narrow, but they carry luggage up to your room. We were the top floor. The view was nice of the canal.

    The host was not there when we arrived by taxi. We called without an answer. We wasted time waiting for him to arrive. The breakfasts need to be changed up daily instead of preparing the same breakfast every day. It gets old after 4 days of eating the same breakfast IMO. The breakfast was good though.

    Great location. Not noisy. One of the owners, a lady, was very kind. She gave detailed information about the room and the hotel. The place was very clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was sufficient, and the ingredients were delicious and of high quality.It was enjoyable that there was a cocktail bar downstairs. I also really liked that the minibar was free and refilled every day.

    Be careful with steep stairs. It would have been perfect if the shower was a bit more spacious and the water pressure a little stronger. But my rating is still 10 :)
