Choosing a hotel for a city break can be difficult.Book the wrong property in terms of location,size,features or ambience and your enjoyment of the city itself can be detrimentally affected.This is particularly true of Amsterdam because parts of it are frankly seedy and unlike cities like Paris or Rome its attractiveness is not immediately apparent. We first visited Amsterdam seven... more

This was our 4th time staying at 717. Each previous time the rooms were superb, the service gracious, the location great, and we left wondering what more could you want from a small hotel/B&B? We wonder no more. We booked the room at the Top, which has a window facing the canal. It's a steep climb up the stairs, but... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at Hotel Seven One Seven. We arrived early (8:30 am) from a 7 hour overnight flight from the U.S. We did not expect our room to be ready, so we asked to leave our bags and said we would go out for breakfast. They said we could have breakfast there. We went... more

My boyfriend suprised with a trip to Amsterdam and he did his research well and chose this lovely cosy hotel for 2 nights. We stayed in Shakespeare on the 1st floor and it is an enormous and gorgeous room with sumptuous fabrics and and a really a comfy sofa. Also a rather fancy B&O TV which impressed him very much!!... more

We recently went to 717 and were wowed by the charm and design of it. The restoration of this old building/house was fantastic and the decorating. Like another person said, a welcome change from the sleek minimalist look of so many hotels trying to be so cool. We stayed in the Tolkein room which was as pretty as it seemed... more

I have no problems spending money on a good hotel. The price is far less important than the value I receive for what I pay. Seven one seven is a pretty hotel, well-located and discreet. I stayed there for 2 nights last weekend with my boyfriend and after a day of sight-seeing in cold and snowy weather, it felt very... more

Just returned from our first visit to Amsterdam and will definitely return primarily due to our excellent experience with Hotel 717. The hotel itself is wonderfully quirky with gorgeous rooms; however , it was the service and friendliness of the staff that sets it apart from the many other boutique hotels we have sampled. After a long day walking outside... more

Amsterdam is a city that is difficult to find a room of any kind on Saturday nights without a reservation. Fotunately, we were lucky to find Seven One Seven at the last minute. My wife and I were in Amsterdam only one night preceding a river cruise. The Seven One Seven had only one room available and it was a... more

We have just spent three nights at this lovely hotel. The decor was excellent. However, the best aspect of this hotel is the staff. They could not do enough to help and were all lovely. The hotel is also located in the perfect place to explore Amsterdam. more
