Pension Homeland was a delightful and slightly quirky stay! The building is a repurposed naval office building located directly beside what is now a park, and right on the water near the riverboat docks, all of which give it that slightly quirky, but thoroughly enjoyable, vibe. The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful to those on their first visit to Amsterdam. They helped us manage jet lag by allowing us to check in several hours early, aided us in planning transportation to area sites, warned us about issues we might not otherwise have expected, loaned us electrical transformer plugs when ours did not fit, and were generally warm and welcoming. The room was very clean, but basic. No AC, but with windows that open wide, as well as fans it was very comfortable for us. Nice shower with ample hot water. The restaurant served excellent cappuccino and very good dinner and breakfast—and was obviously well-liked by the local community so make reservations for dinner! The only drawback is that because of its proximity to a popular local park, on a Friday night there is a lot of noise. Not annoyingly loud, but pretty constant and well past 10 pm since the sun doesn’t set until 10:30 in July!! All in all, we felt we had a more authentic Dutch experience by staying here—we recommend it!

We got an excellent room during our stay at the Pension Homeland. Traveling with 2 kids, this room was perfect for us to unwind after our day of site seeing.

This is my 2nd year staying at Pension and I absolutely love it here! The front desk staff are very friendly and willing to help with anything you need. The restaurant and bar is also amazing. Very fresh food and cold drinks. Also, they have a hotel cat named Amy who I love!!!! ❤️ The hotel is away from all of the chaos of the city center, but still close so that you can walk pretty much anywhere where you want to go. Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay there next summer! 🥰

Staff was absolutely amazing. Bar and restaurant was great. Please be mindful that the building is historic and does not have AC. It was quite brutal during a heat wave. However a small desk fan was provided, staff and location made up for the heat. Would definitely stay at this property at a different time of the year again.

Perfect!

Adorable hotel with a great restaurant and a hotel cat! Loved the location clise to things but out of the fray.

Loved our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. Loved the naval atmosphere of the location and adjacent city park. We visited during unusually hot weather and although the room didn't have air conditioning, it was still comfortable with the windows open and the provided fan running. We would definately stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, bit off the tourist trail and one of the city's best-kept secrets. The locals love the area, perfect for relaxing and unwinding away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. About a 10 minute walk to Centraal Station. The food and drinks in the restaurant were excellent, we had breakfast and dinner here and loved both. Staff really pleasant and polite, a good bunch. One thing to be aware of, the stairs are steep and there are a lot of them. They have a lift but it's jut about the slowest mechanical thing ever built so not much use in a hurry! Would definitely recommend and will always look to see if they have rooms available from now on

It’s a very nice place convenient ; close to the canal; beautiful sunset. Close to NEMO and museums . Small rooms; NO AC ; breakfast is a la cart but convenient to what you need . No parking so don’t bring a car . 30 minutes from airport ; uber charged 35 euros (may 30 rates)

Though they lacked air conditioning and a few amenities, the hotel was a fun place to stay. It was creatively decorated and had a generally funky/friendly attitude. The dinner menu was sparse, but what they offered was delicious, and the staff were pleasant and helpful.
