“Great place to stay in the heart of Amsterdam”

Great location, decent size of the room, spotless and tidy. There was no hand shower but a built-in jacuzzi tub highlight. The staffs at the front desk were amicable and helpful. However, wifi reception was weak (between 1-2 bars, and sometimes I had to use data for browsing the internet, no video streaming) and room services were quite delayed throughout the day - didn't get done til 4pm - 5pm during my stay, and I had to cancel one of the days because I needed my nap after a long walk in the city around 3:30pm. Overall, I still highly recommend Hotel JL No76 and will definitely come back again.

“Quiet and comfortable stay”

Hotel JL No76 was the perfect place for our stay in Amsterdam. It was on a beautiful tree lined street. Was very quiet and also so close to shopping, the museums, and tram stops. It was clean and the service was fantastic. We will be back!

“Perfect!”

Gorgeous hotel in a perfect location. Close to museums and Vondelpark. Tram stops close by. Lovely restaurants and cafes within walking distance - Blushing and 4Staglione both excellent!

“Great front desk people, below average facilities”

After arriving at Amsterdam and making our way to the hotel at around 9 am on a Sunday, we find the front door not opening and we could not see anyone at the front desk. It took us 5 min before we realized there was a doorbell we could ring; after which someone promptly let us in. Nevertheless a sign would have been nice. The front desk employee was very nice and helpful, tagging and storing our luggages until the room was ready. He also gave us maps and a list of recommended restaurants which is a nice touch. This allowed us to walk around and visit the Rijks museum. When we came back later in the day, our luggage had already been moved to the room (another nice touch). We got assigned a basement room, which was fine but beware that it is next to the maintenance/janitorial rooms, so it was noisy while there were people there. The room had mood lighting and it took us a bit before figuring out what switches controlled what. In some ways, we felt that function was sacrificed for form. The main issue we had was with the bathtub. For people who have mobility problems or are older, please beware as the bathtub is very high and may be slippery when getting in/out. Also, the bathtub was not draining, and it seemed that management knew about this issue as when I called they told me to wait as it drained slowly. In our case, it wasn't draining at all, so my traveling companion couldn't take a shower (who wants to stand in dirty water from a prior shower?). After 30 min, we called again and they sent someone to fix it. The problem was with the "cap" that goes on the drain. It had to be removed completely for water to drain (it would not drain even if the cap was in the up position). This is a hardware issue so it should have been easy to fix. They told us to take it off after we were done, but this should be a temporary fix so I hope they won't have to give the same direction to every person who stays in that room but to fix it once and for all. For the second person who showered, she felt yucky because of all that dirty water that had been sitting there for 30 min. Yes, it was drained but the bathtub was just dirty afterwards. This room should not have been rented out given that this was a known issue. In summary, all the employees we've encountered were super helpful and nice, but the hotel itself needs better maintenance.
