“A Unique and Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I must admit that our 2-night stay at Miauw was unplanned. A little back story:
My husband and I arrived in Amsterdam on New Year's Day, 2012 and discovered that the "highly rated" B&B we had booked two months prior was a complete and utter disaster. (long story, different review) After enduring one very dreadful night, I remembered that we had brought along an older (July, 2007) New York Times article of "36-hours in Amsterdam". Miauw was one of the suggested places to stay, so I immediately called and reached Analik. THANKFULLY, some guests had just checked out and Analik invited us to come on over - even though it was barely mid-morning and not even close to check-in time.

Analik greeted us warmly when we arrived and took us up the two flights of stairs to view the apartment, which was still being cleaned after the previous guests. Even in an untidy state (seriously, how can people be such slobs?) we could see that the space was fantastic! At this point we realized how hungry we were and asked Analik for a coffee/breakfast recommendation. She suggested Screaming Beans, which was just around the corner. Great choice - good food and excellent coffee.

Returning to the suite an hour or two later, it was as if we had walked in to a magazine spread! I won't repeat everything that other reviewers have rightly mentioned about how comfortable and well-appointed the space is, but I do wish to highlight a few things that made the White Suite so special:
1) The fantastic views from the windows - day or night.
2) Heated floors - these were absolutely wonderful to come back to after walking about in the cold and rain, and helped make the apartment incredibly cozy.
3) Location - so, so close to wonderful restaurants, bars, and excellent shopping ranging from unique boutiques to vintage.
4) Analik - even though we had just two days to experience Amsterdam, she listened to us when we described our interests and offered spot-on tips and suggestions.

Like others, we were sad to leave Miauw Suites and Amsterdam - but we do hope to return one day.

“Beautiful apartment in the best location in Amsterdam”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

Miauw is one of the most beautiful holiday experiences we have ever had.
Every detail has been thought of in the rooms. We stayed in the White Suite and loved the design, the views and the location. Super comfortable king size bed bed, spacious gorgeous living room with gorgeous big windows and views of the Keizersgracht, and a full working kitchen with a table big enough for us to host a small, home cooked dinner party for 5 of our local friends on the last night. The White Suite was always impecaably clean, and also has great details like a Bang & Olufsen TV, and lovely Ren bath products. We stayed just before Chistmas and the room temperature was always perfect, heat easily and quickly adjusted.
There is an Albert Heijn (supermarket) literally 3 mins away, a great coffee bar just next door (Screaming Beans) and so many wonderful restaurants and bars to choose from. Analik is thoughtful enough to leave a few essentials in the kitchen like tea, sugar, olive oil etc so that you dont need to buy these things if, like us, you take full advantage of being able to cook your own meals in the gorgeous smeg kitchen!

Maybe I am biased or somehow understood this immeditately beacuse I am Dutch, and originally from Amsterdam and know the area well -but I honestly I don't know how anyone could have gone to their website and thought that they were getting a full service hotel experience, they make it pretty clear that you are getting a very exclusive apartment!
As far as other comments about showers being small and stairs being steep- you're in the Netherlands! Stay at home or in a big chain hotel if you don't want to experience or cant handle the quirks that make Amsterdam so special and quaint as a city (tall and not very wide houses!)

My husband and I will only stay here from now on when we come visit and honestly cannot wait to return!

Room Tip: We only saw the White Suite, highly recommend it for incredible value for money and amazing views

“Quintessentially Dutch Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

To be honest, if you need to go to Amsterdam, try your best to stay here. The nine streets area is probably the most unique Dutch experience you will have anywhere in Amsterdam, minus the Wind Mill... It truely feels like a village.

Great restaurants, great bars, great markets, great atmosphere!

We stayed in the White Suite and Analik was exceptionally accommodating.

Loved the extra charm offered by the awesome view from the suite! We did not want to leave!

Room Tip: If you want room service and a buffet breakfast with a world of tourists, you may not want to stay h...

“Stylish apartments, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Let’s get one thing straight – Miauw Suites is not a hotel – there is no concierge or room service and if you need a full service hotel, then don’t stay here. However, if you’re looking for a very central, stylish apartment as a base for a city break, then I’d thoroughly recommend it. The rooms are a little noisy as they overlook a canal street, but the views of the Amsterdam canals are stunning and the interiors very chic and minimalist. I especially liked the wet room bathrooms – small but practical. Would definitely stay again!

Room Tip: The white suite is beautiful

“What a fun place and fantastic location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I love Miauw because you know you are in Amsterdam every minute. The room design is unique and small but works. It's very clean and I prefer a Mac to a TV. The White Room has a fantastic view over the bridge and down the Keizersgracht. The Black Room has one wall of window instead of two but is a bit larger with a bigger bathroom and a real closet. Both are lovely as are the women who run the place. Don't expect someone around every minute, but who needs that. You can be in close touch with hotel management if you need to be via email or phone. Love the place, but then I do love Amsterdam!
