Fodor's Review:
P. H. H. Cuijpers, the architect of the Rijksmuseum and Centraal Station, also created this adorable hotel. A chalet roof, dormers, bay window, jigsaw trim, Neoclassical columns, and sculpted reliefs of cats (one showing a cat chasing mice) all decorate the exterior, which was built around 1870. The storybook feeling, however, ends as soon as you step in the door: the interiors have all been gutted and renovated. Many of the bedrooms are still cheery and gracious, though, and on the ground floor, there's a bright yellow breakfast room overlooking a lovely garden. On a quiet street next to the Vondelpark, the hotel makes all its guests very welcome. Pros: fanciful facade, gay-friendly vibe, close to the Vondelpark. Cons: bland interior, staff can be brusque.
