I love the place and the situation in amsterdam but anyway I thought it's too expensive for a place like that, it's the price of 4 stars hotel but you sleep in 3 stars hotel, more

We really like to hear back from guests, but we can not remember or find back Pascal from Monaco. Pascal loved our place :-) That's nice , but for Pascal we are too expensive... but in the low season our rates start at 99 E/night. For Amsterdam that's a very good deal. Our prices are far lower than a 4...

In September 2008, I planned a long trip of 10 days through the Benelux with my boyfriend, for the end of November 2008. This plan included places such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Maastricht, Brussels and Bruges. As you can easily imagine, I have been waiting for this trip since the moment I booked it and bought the plane tickets.... more

We're running a small hotel (9 rooms) which completely depends on it's (always fully booked) weekends, it's hard for us to deal with last-minute cancellations. The reviewer cancelled on December 4 his stay for December 5-8. We can not find any new guest on such short notice, and as a result we had an empty room for 3 nights. Therefore...

I booked this hotel on a recomendation of a friend. He said not to worry even if your not into "leather" its a great place. He was right, it was very, very nice. I was there May 2008 for four nights the last of the month. I stayed in room, 11 I think? The room to the right as you... more

My partner and I enjoyed 5 incredible days at his wonderful hotel, in Sept/Oct 08, and had the time of our lives! I've been to Amsterdam , (from San Francisco), many, many times, and have stayed at a variety of straight and gay hotels - some "high end" and some "less so." The Black Tulip is the BEST. We had... more

My wife and I just returned from an enjoyable 5 day stay at the Black Tulip in early September 2008. The Black Tulip is a great place to stay while exploring Amsterdam. The hotel is only a short walk from centraal station which offers access to all of the trains, trams, buses, and canal boats for easy touring of the... more

My husband and I stayed here over New Years 2008. I can't imagine a better stay. The hosts were really great. They knew we were first timers to the city, so they provided us with recommendations every night of the week for dinner and nightlife. The location was stumbling distance to tons of bars and activities. We loved the breakfast,... more

This was to be my first stay at the Black Tulip and, having stayed at Gay owned venues in other Countries was not entirely confident it was going to be such a good experience! I have had my fingers burned previously but always try and support 'gay commerce. My room was spacious (double), clean, well equipped in all respects. TV/radio/phone/safe/beverages/minibar,... more

My husdand and I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in July 2008. This hotel was all that we were expecting. The reviews were very good for that. We stayed in one of the rooms on the first floor. Yes there was a ladder in our room but it really did not bother us a bit. It's the style... more

We arrived at the hotel quite early since our flight was an early one, it's not far from the train station, situated within the red light district and was really easy to find. At check in, even though we were not expected until later in the day, Onno (one of the owners) made us feel very welcome, fresh coffee in... more
