First Impressions
The Melrose Hotel sits right on Elandsgracht, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star place in this part of Amsterdam. But you know what? Sometimes these smaller hotels surprise you in the best way. The building has that classic Amsterdam narrow-house look — nothing fancy, but it fits right into the canal district without trying too hard.
The Neighborhood Feel
What I actually love about this spot is how it puts you smack in the middle of real Amsterdam life. Elandsgracht isn’t one of those tourist-heavy canals where you’re dodging selfie sticks every five minutes. You’ve got locals on bikes, small cafés that actually serve residents, and it’s genuinely walkable to the Jordaan district — which, trust me, is where you want to spend your evenings. The Nine Streets shopping area is maybe ten minutes on foot, and you can easily walk to the major museums without dealing with tram crowds.
The Room Reality
Look, the room isn’t going to blow you away with marble bathrooms or anything like that, but it’s clean and functional in that European way where space is used smartly. The beds are comfortable enough (I mean, after walking around Amsterdam all day, you’ll sleep fine), and there’s decent WiFi throughout. The windows actually open properly, which might sound basic but you’d be surprised how many hotels mess this up.
Practical Considerations
The staff knows their stuff about getting around the city — they’ll point you toward the best stroopwafel spots and away from the tourist traps. There’s no on-site restaurant, but honestly, that’s not really a problem here since you’re surrounded by local places worth trying. The breakfast is continental style, nothing elaborate, but it gets the job done before you head out exploring.
Why Guests Love It
Here’s the thing about Melrose Hotel — it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. You’re paying for a solid base in a great location, not for amenities you probably won’t use anyway. The 7.7 rating makes sense because it’s not trying to be something it isn’t, and that actually works in its favor. If you want to experience Amsterdam like you’re staying in a neighborhood rather than a hotel bubble, this place gets it right.

What Our Guests Say
Lovely hotel, friendly staff and beautiful city. Clean and a change of towels. Friendly staff.
What could be improved: Only limited coffee in the room and not enough milk. Morning of airport we had no coffee 🥹
The shower was very transparent especially as we shared a room together with adult children.
Amazing location and staff. Rooms are small though functional Location, staff and flexibility of checkin and checkout. Lot of good restaurants near by and very accessible to tourists locations via walk and tram
What could be improved: It’s a bit small. Also only one charging outlet that limits charging multiple devices simultaneously
Very good Location, great staff, clean
very pleased friendly staff and really helpful, beds were comfy, showers were good, room service daily. all round top hotel , especially for the price
What could be improved: shower could be a bit more private but it's not end of the world
Good When searching for a hotel, I selected parking. Upon arrival, the employee showed me a paid public parking lot, which cost half the room rate. I believe that including parking in their offer is deceptive.
Very pleasant staying. I can recommend The Location, the staff and the General atmosphere
What could be improved: The bathroom is too small and not very private. The room for 4 people is a little bit too small.
Would recommend Walking distance to restaurants and shops.
What could be improved: Rooms small, other than that, was okay.
Great place- would definitely stay here again. The location
What could be improved: That the housekeeping supplies were throughout the hallway- and the laundry bin was at the bottom of the stairs by the door. It made it hard to get in and up the stairs with our luggage.
Suited our needs. Great location, neighborhood restaurants, bakery for breakfast, pubs a very nice a Coffee in the room
What could be improved: Room s we’re small, but that’s typical European
Very satisfactory Could drop in luggage before checking in time, without extra fee.
Complementary coffee at certain time in Lobby also appreciated
