Pension Homeland

Pension agréable mais assez simple dans le centre d’Amsterdam. A 20 minutes à pieds de la gare centrale. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Un peu bruyant. Literie à changer.

Kanon bra restaurang

The bar selection was good

I almost want to keep this gem to myself but it’s too good not to share. Fabulous, unique stay in the adapted former Naval officers’ accommodation. Original 60s interiors with lots of solid wood furniture revamped with interesting design features. Facilities in the rooms are fairly basic, no tea and coffee or mini bar for example, but very comfy beds, spotlessly clean rooms, light, airy and warm with super-efficient radiators and gallons of high pressure hot water. Staff are fun and friendly, great restaurant/cafe with excellent food including local specialities (try the “three in the pan” for breakfast and the Apple pie!) Very groovy bar with microbrewery. Appears to be a real local hub as well as serving hotel clients and live music is a feature but not too loud or too late. The absolute highlight for us as open water swimmers was the swimming area in front with 2 saunas in the winter, where we were welcomed with open arms by local swimmers. All this 25 minutes stroll from central station and the heart of town. Very reasonably priced. What’s not to like?
