“Brilliant apartment, would reccomend to others and stay again.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Three of us stayed at the apartment and it was all we could ask for.

Location is spot on, the directions were good and it is not far to get to from the station. The apartment is on a quiet stretch of the Spuisstraat. All amenities and sights are within walking distance.

Kim who greeted us was professional and very friendly. She was helpful and went out of her way to greet us all. It does state that there is only one check in per stay but Kim was ok that one of us arrived later in the day than the the others. We sorted the total and keys when everyone was there. Kim insisted on going down all of the stair cases and back up for the small change that we said not worry to about.

It was great to have our own space and to cook food in the kitchen area, there were some basic food essentials from previous guests.

The cost of the apartment is fair, especially when considering other hotel's or small number dorms at backpacker hostels.

Yeah the stairs take a little getting used to but it is just usual Dutch architecture. No problems.

I would recommend the apartment and would not look elsewhere for accommodation if myself and some friends were to visit Amsterdam again.

A very well run apartment/accommodation set up.

“Great place to stay while in Amsterdam.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We were a group of 4 travelling to Amsterdam for a long weekend.

Duke was very friendly and very knowledgeable about his city, where to go, where to eat, what cafes to visit, what sites to see.

The room was well equipped with 4 single beds (2 were fold out sofas), the kitchen had everything we needed with pots and pans, cutlery and the cupboards had all the basics (tea, coffee, etc). The closest supermarket is about 5 minute walk away and the apartment had a fridge, stove and microwave oven.

The only thing I would say was that the room got very hot during the night and on Saturday night we found it difficult to sleep with the windows open due to the street noise.

The location was fantastic! About a 10 minute walk to the central train station, and close to all the attractions.

All in all a very good weekend spent in Amsterdam and at the Funky Chicken. I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know who is going for a city break. Very relaxed and chilled out place to stay.

“Will stay there again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

Such a chill place to stay. The staff was was lovely. Very helpful with advice on bike rentals, places to eat and the right coffee shops to visit. The location was key for me. Just blocks from the central train station The Funky Chicken was just a walk or a quick bike ride away from everything yet located on a nice quiet stretch of Spuistraat. I have to say it was just as I hoped it would be.

Room Tip: Book in advance... Don't miss out.

“Totally Class!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2011

This accomodation cannot be beaten!

The location and the vibe of the place is just brilliant.
Most people seem to find problems with accomodation on trip advisor, however the funky chicken seems to be immune from criticism. I have not seen one bad review.

Unfortunately, Lina (the owner) was in South America for our stay, but a lovely Romanian girl welcomed us (plus gave us a little present on arrival - wink wink!!)
Although it is lietrally a five minute walk away from dam square, the street is suburban and quiet. You feel like your'e on the outskirts of Amsterdam.

All in all this was a fatastic trip, with the apartment being a great focal point for exploration or simply just chilling. They even have a dvd player with a great selection of movies if you fancy one of those days.

I will be returning.....again and again and again.
This is a very funky little place!!!
