Description

Hotel & Bar Royal Taste Amsterdam is a three-star hotel with an 8.2/10 rating, located in a historic building in Amsterdam’s famous De Wallen district. The hotel offers a wide variety of room types, including Standard, Superior, Villas, and Cottages, many with city or canal views. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring French windows overlooking canals and the vibrant red light district. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, free parking, WiFi, and a bar on-site where guests often praise the friendly and talented bartenders, especially Martin. The building’s age means guests should expect steep stairs and irregular room shapes. While the hotel does not provide breakfast, it offers family rooms, meeting facilities, and luggage storage. The staff are frequently described as warm and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience despite occasional noise due to the central location.

Location

Located at 47 Oudezijds Achterburgwal in Amsterdam, the hotel sits right in the heart of the lively De Wallen area. It is 182 meters from Our Lord in the Attic, a 17th-century hidden Catholic chapel, and within a 300-meter radius of several well-rated restaurants including The Grasshopper (248 m) and Lastage (297 m). Playground CS beach is 370 meters away for those seeking a brief outdoor escape. Schiphol Airport (AMS) is approximately 12 km from the hotel, making transfers relatively straightforward. The hotel’s position on a main street provides easy access to local attractions and public transport.

Tips

  • If you have mobility issues, be prepared for steep and uneven stairs as the hotel is in an older building.
  • Expect street noise late into the night due to the central Red Light District location and bring earplugs if needed.
  • Take advantage of early check-in and luggage storage to explore the city comfortably before your room is ready.

Absolutely amazing MARTIN bartender !
One of the best experiences I’ve had in Amsterdam. Super friendly, talented, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Great vibes, great conversations, and perfect drinks every single time. He really knows how to make people feel welcome and have a great time. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to have a drink here you’ll remember it. Highly recommended! 💪🏼✨❤️

The room was huge! Great view of the canal and red district. The staff was great!!! They are so kind! My booking came with complimentary wine, which was also good. Walkable location. Due to the location, there will be lots of noise until late night. Didn't bother me personally. The bar downstairs is charming.

Staff were friendly, treated you like a family member visiting from out of town, and really made the experience for me. Thanks team.

Every aspect of the service was excellent, right from the moment NUNO (not sure if I'm spelling that right) welcomed us so warmly. All the other staff who assisted us were also very kind and attentive. Excellent service!

Horrible property. Literally located above the girls in the window area of the city. Random people loitering about. They should clearly illustrate where they are located. Did not wind up staying there.

The room was clean the staff very helpful. Just remember you are checking into an extremely old hotel that was not originally designed as a hotel. Expect lots of stairs, funny shaped rooms and unhandy lighting and outlets. Just relax and enjoy the fun, excitement and convenience of being located in the middle of old Amsterdam.

Amazing staff! So kind and accommodating. Let us check in early without charge and let us keep our luggage there. The place was nice and spacious. Would definitely go back and recommend to others!

We weren't due to check in until 3pm but had emailed the hotel to see if we could leave luggage there while we explored. Which they were more than happy for us to do. As it happened when we arrived we were told if we'd like to hang on a short while we could check in and get our room there and then. So we had a beer and got checked in.
We had a room overlooking the canal, with French windows, it was great to have these open and just watch the world go by. My partner who has mobility problems, struggled with the stairs but we were aware of how steep stairs are in the older buildings and were prepared to cope with this just for the experience. The room wasn't ensuite but we had our own bathroom directly across the corridor so that wasn't really an issue. We only stayed one night but would have been happy to stay longer.

The positive thing is the service. The staff is very friendly and nice and they speak fluent English. But they’re the only good thingn about the hotel. The room wasn’t really clean. The ground was dirty and there was dust on the desk…. The windows are paper thin people yelling outside at night could be heard even after 3 AM. It was overall fine for a last minute reservation, but I booked through a website without realizing it’s located in the middle of the red lights districts… my bad. But for that price, it was NOT WORTH IT. Also, the “private bathroom” is actually not inside of the room so you have to get outside of your room, take your key, lock your room, open the toilet-bathroom, etc etc. it’s so inconvenient. I really wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who just goes to a hotel to sleep normally…

The hotel is in a great location in de Wallen near restaurants, tourist attractions, the train station, etc. The room was quiet despite the location and was very clean and spacious compared to other hotels I have styed in in the city centre. The staff were helpful, polite, and friendly. I will definitely stay here again.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
