Pieterburen Seal Sanctuary

The location was great. Staff were easy to communicate with when we had travel difficulties. The property was in fine condition

Whatever I say about this property wouldn't suffice. I looked hard for a negative and couldn't find one thing lacking. We were left comparing this property to a 5 star property in Paris, and this property was much beyond even that! Comfortable, convenient, fantastic staff, drop dead gorgeous property, excellent amenities. Yes, it's heavy on the tab, but you feel like it worth every $ you spend. We stayed here at the end of our trip and it was a nice way to treat ourselves before the long flight home. A special mention to the comfiest beds which just envelopes you leaving you refreshed for the next day. My family thoroughly enjoyed the amenities which includes a steam room and a sauna. Didn't have time to use their spa treatments, but we will repeat if we are ever in this part of the town.

Being in the historic district, travellers must know that there is no lift so you must carry your luggage up to your room. Some rooms have air conditioning, ours did not but there was a fan so that helped! The hotel is very walkable to many landmarks, museums, restaurants etc. We walked everywhere but you’re also close to transit to get to those places that are farther away. We only had two days in Amsterdam, so our proximity to those points of interest was paramount.
