I travel a lot for my job. In the last three months, I've been home only 14 days. So believe me when I tell you that this hotel is truly something special. I was referred by a friend who lives in Amsterdam. Apart from the brilliant central location, clean rooms with excellent beds and fast and free WiFi, what sets misc eat drink sleep apart from its competitors is the kind attention of the proprietors. A few things that helped make my stay special included a friendly email a few days before my arrival giving clear directions to the hotel, the free snacks in the room (beer, soda, chocolate and chips) and a friendly resident cat to snuggle with. If you prefer anonymity and same-same, this is not the hotel for you. The stairs are indeed steep and every room is different. But if you're someone who wants to really experience the city you're visiting, you won't be disappointed. My only hesitation in recommending this hotel to you is that it might become so overwhelmingly popular that I wouldn't be able to book a return visit.

We had a really wonderful experience staying here. Lovely canal house with really steep narrow stairs (thank goodness we didn't have to lug our luggage up those stairs). Loved the location, centrally for the main attractions and only a few minutes walk from the railway station. It is right next to Chinatown and Red Light District but we found it quite safe and walked everywhere. Room has all the amenities, coffee, tea, and a small fridge stocked with Heineken, pop and goodies (chips, chocolate bars). This was lovely after a day of tramping around town. Breakfast was wonderful as were the hosts, Rachel and Pepjin.

This was our 2nd stay and it was just as good as we remembered - the only thing missing was beautiful Prue the cat (bless).
We stayed in the Wonders room (Design room last time). Both rooms were very comfortable and stocked with goodies.
Pepjin's restaurant recommendations were 1st class and Rachel's Glühwein was a taste sensation!
We'll be back...Jools and Col

We and friends had 2 Canal View Rooms in this canal house located very centrally for the main attractions and only a few minutes walk from the railway station. If you like hotel accommodation with long corridors and cells to left and right, this hotel is not for you. If character is what you are wanting this is it. Character and comfort, for the rooms are comfortable, clean, spacious and tastefully decorated in a modern style. Breakfast is continental plus eggs and bacon nicely cooked by Gabriel which set us up well for days of walking the city. We enjoyed pre dinner drinks in the well stocked bar which enabled us to get to know Rachel and Pepijn and to get their advice on what to do in the city, how to get there and where to have dinner. Spending time with them was much more informative than the guide books. We loved our time in Amsterdam not least because we looked forward to returning to misc eatdrinksleep after our day's touring for a drink and snack from the refrigerator which - unusually - were included in the tariff.
