Nice friendly staff, good location positioned near the tram to main tram routes including centraal station. Nice sized rooms, bed is a bit hard hard but that could be personal preference.

We were able to drop off our luggage in the morning. The hotel clerk was incredibly helpful and patient. The room was comfortable and clean. Lovely little balcony with a great view of life on a busy Amsterdam street but still quiet. You get so much for a very reasonable fee.

Great location. Need to fix AC.
Great location in a quieter part of Amsterdam yet a close walk or tram ride to the center. The room was very small, but typical for Europe. The breakfast was great and included hot items like eggs. The woman at the front desk was friendly. The only negative was that the AC didn’t work. We were on the top floor with daytime highs in the 70s. The room was very warm, and we booked it specifically because it had AC. When we told the front desk, they said it was a “known issue”, which sounded like they knew and still booked the room. They initially didn’t want to do anything about it, until we asked again. They reset it, and it worked for 2 hours but then shut off.

Wonderful choice!
What a great little hotel! The staff was very friendly and the room was sparkling clean. It was a great location for walking the city but still quiet with a local vibe. Good food options close by. Freddy Fryday was delicious and the rotisserie chicken place across the street was also very good.

Truly THE BEST!
I've stayed at lots of hotels ...large, small, expensive, budget. I've never been cared for by such friendly, attentive, service oriented staff ever before. I interacted with three different staff members (and the hotel owner) during my one night stay and all were absolutely committed to being helpful in whatever way possible... from early check- in, upgraded room, free coffee and teas several times, rapid breakfast service, and above and beyond internet help with restaurant locations and rail/tram travel. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Hotel Larende and I will never again consider staying anywhere else when in Amsterdam. Thank you for a great stay!

Service was great. We were greeted with a complimentary beer upon arrival. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating, and offered to keep our luggage after check out so we didn’t have to have it all day. Hotel room was just as described. Breakfast was very satisfying! My only complaint is my feet got dusty and dirty walking around the room. Maybe a bit more cleaning of the floors. Everything else was perfect!

Great value away from the city centre bustle
Good location away from the city centre bustle. Staff were really helpful and accommodating. As the hotel is on a busy road, and we were at the front of the hotel, it was a bit noisy (compared to the countryside where we live) but the bed was really comfortable which was a good distraction. Like most hotels, the lighting is more mood than practical.

Lovely little spot, greeted by the best hotel owner we have ever had. He was very welcoming, gave us a complimentary drink and pulled out a map to give us showing us where the main sites around town were, and what trams to catch to get around. The location is a bit out of the busy central area but wasn’t really an issue as the tram stop was about 100m up the road and so easy to get all over Amsterdam. The room is clean and nice, minibar is also quite cheap if you need. If you like a really dark room bring an eye mask but was a nice quiet spot. TV had english channels!!!

The girl at reception was amazing so nice and helpful. Room was tiny when I arrived the manager said you requested a twin room my reply was I booked it through hotels.com I was given a single room don’t be under any illusions it’s tiny but clean. That evening I was in my room relaxing when a loud banning on my door on opening the manger son was there raving about my write up regarding my room he even had the measurements and said that was the room I booked and I knew by the measurements the size he was really angry not a nice experience. He should learn people have options and also how to deal with the public in the end I said please drop this I felt very uncomfortable. This hotel wants only positive feedback. I liked the area easy to get about it was the girl at reception that made my stay pleasant.

A terrific small hotel
We just returned from our stay at this hotel. I have only good things to say about Hotel Larende. We were warmly greeted by Murat the owner who immediately made us delicious coffee, as he checked us in and took our suitcases to our rooms. The rooms are superbly clean and comfortable with modern fixtures. Murat and his son, as well as Lenny and Andrea were extremely welcoming and helpful. They did everything they could to suggest points of interest, map out our routes and got us tickets to museums, canal cruises, and other tours. They made us superb complimentary coffees and tea anytime day or evening. The breakfast was a generous buffet of hot and cold foods including cereal, eggs,cheeses, meats, fresh fruits,juice, breads, croissants and of course the wonderful coffee !. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant twice and it was excellent. The hotel is well located on 3 tram lines and walkable to many points of interest. We would not stay anywhere else when visiting Amsterdam.
