Home Again!

South Amsterdam feels like home because of my many trips there doing research on Etty Hillesum. I just stumbled upon ApolloFirst Boutique hotel and it was the perfect place! The style of the hotel, the neighborhood, the amazing Theater, wonderful breakfasts, and most of all the people I met there, the hotel owners and management Weiss and Rick, Brigitta,an actress, people in the neighborhood and my Dutch Etty friends who came to meet me there. I will be back! Barbara

Delightful hotel

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Bed very comfortable, but walls were thin so could hear other guests. Had breakfast on my last day. And by chance asked if they had gluten free bread. Two heated rolls were brought. Delicious. Also had gf muesli. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is in a nice area with trams nearby. Vondelpark is within walking distance.

Nice hotel in a great location in the “old south”area of Amsterdam (not a touristy area). Hotel staff all great and special kudos for the manager. Hotel is on a quiet street but only a five minute walk from coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and the stop for the GVB tram line. On the tram you can get to Museumplein area in 10 minutes and Centraal station in 25 minutes. About a 15 minute walk to Vondelpark and there are nice restaurants and shops near Vondelpark too.

This hotel was close to many visitor sites and restaurants. The staff was particularly helpful in addressing any possible needs we had. Dutch charm resonated throughout the facility. The housekeeping staff cleaned the rooms to perfection. We had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful stay, I can’t wait to return

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Apollofirst Boutique as a female solo traveller. The room upgrade upon checkin was a wonderful surprise, my room was stunning and spotless. The staff were extremely polite, professional and friendly and I couldn’t have asked for a better hotel. The location is perfect for exploring, less busy than the city centre but close enough to all the sights! I can’t wait for my next stay here.

Lovely quiet hotel that was decorated and furnished romantically. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that but good selection of hot and cold drinks available at the bar and some lovely (but expensive) restaurants within a short walk.

This was my first stay in Amsterdam. Location of this hotel was convenient. Public transportation close by and most notable attractions can be walking distance if you are a walker. I wish there were mirrors inside the room and not in the bathroom. Breakfast buffet was amazing.
