The Muse Amsterdam - Boutique Hotel

Excellent hotel, stay and tourist trip. Perfect location, between Amsterdam Zuid train station (Amsterdam South) and Museumplein (Museum Square) - Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, in a very safe and quiet area and a few minutes walk from them. From Amsterdam Zuid train station you can get to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport most easily and quickly by train (and vice versa, of course). Everything has quick and pleasant connections: Schiphol Airport - train to Amsterdam Zuid train station - tram to Hotel Muse. The hotel staff is exceptional: excellently professional and in attitude, very polite and friendly. Flavio and Ming are very kind and helpful! I would like to specially mention Flavio, with whom I spoke the most, a gentleman with a lot of international experience in the hotel industry. He is indeed impeccably educated professionally and morally, speaks several foreign languages, has a great life experience, and is always ready to explain anything to you and talk to you. He is an intelligent and open-minded person, being very helpful. Check-in and check-out very fast and without problems. I had a room with its own balcony (it is separated from the other balcony, of the next room, by some large plant pots), with garden furniture (table and two chairs). The view is towards the backyard, offering privacy. Also, being the highest balcony, on the third floor, it had no roof over it (but I was lucky with very sunny weather, over 30 degrees Celsius, and it didn't rain, so it was perfect). The room was excellent, being fully equipped with everything you need, all the amenities being of quality and perfectly functional. Very clean, very comfortable and extremely quiet. Coffee is free non-stop, from the dining area. I didn't eat at the hotel, because I devoted all my time to visiting the museums and other tourist attractions (many!) in Amsterdam. Overall, it is a very nice hotel, very safe, very clean, very quiet, excellent location, with perfect transport links. Thank you!

Location: Excellent central location! 20-25 minute tram ride from Central station but very close to one of the stops. 10 minute walk from the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum area. Close to Pijp area! Lots of great restaurants and bakeries near by. Staff: Incredibly friendly and helpful. Gave great recs and advice. Additionally, let us leave our bags there before check-in and even took them up to our room when our room was ready! Room: HAD AN ACTUAL KING BED! Not just 2 twins pushed together. A little small and cramped but had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Free wifi. Good A/C unit. Amenities: Free coffee and tea after 12, which was a nice touch! We did not utilize the breakfast buffet- it was $17 per person and consisted of breads, eggs, and coffee/tea that felt a little expensive.

Hotel directions were 100% and easy to get to from the airport by catching train direct to city center and then a short tram to within 100m of the hotel. Our flight was delayed and we only got to the hotel just before midnight, but we were assured by reception that (although on the site it stated that reception was only available until 23h00) reception was open 24hrs even out of season. It was dark and raining when we arrived, but it was a short walk from the tram stop to the front door and we were welcomed into an inviting and cosy hotel which smelled fresh and clean with constant fragrance coming from a humidifier in the reception area. The room was small but comfortable and very clean and the mini coffee station and mini fridge with free water and cool drinks and mini kit kats were a pleasant surprise. The next morning we discovered a very nice pastry and coffee shop just down the road!

The location is great as a museum lover! It was about a fifteen minute walk to the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. There are quite a few cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood and the hotel is conveniently located near an Albert heijn supermarket. There are also trams and the metro within walking distance to get to Centraal Station. The room was comfortable albeit a bit on the smaller side and the staff was professional. Last but not least there was an adorable cat on the property!

The Muse dedicates themselves to having their guests feel like home. The mini bar in the room and the tea/coffee stations on the ground floor are all signs of warm welcomes. The room is beautiful, designed to have guests find things easy as if they are familiar with the place. The staff delightfully helped me with early check-in and a room with a bathtub. The resident cat has its unique presence.  Small and cozy at a great location, walking distance to museums and direct team to train station. Could not have expected more.
