We stayed for 4 nights in the hotel in October. The hotel was easy to get to from Schiphol Airport, with regular Train, Tram and bus links. We ended up catching the 397 bus which was efficient, quick and took us to within a street of the hotel. The hotel itself looked great, with a lovely looking bar and reception area. The staff member who checked us in was friendly and told us everything we needed to know. There is a lift to all floors, however we used the quirky staircase which looks really cool. The room itself is small, but we expected that from our research. It's well appointed with ensuite, comfy bed, tea/coffee machine and a TV. Plenty storage areas for clothing and luggage. The basketball hoop on the wall was quirky and it was fun throwing the ball through the hoop while getting ready. The bed was very comfy, and the curtains and window shutters ensured a very good night's sleep. Handwash, shower gel and shampoo are all supplied and the rainfall shower was powerful and hot. Minor points would be the basketball was a little worn and ripped, and the ensuite placement of the toilet doesn't leave room for maneouvre! This didn't detract from the stay and we really liked the room. The hotel is very well placed for exploring Amsterdam. It is very close to the bars and restaurants at Leidesplein and, of course, the museums. There is loads to do. To summarise, staff and property are excellent, we had a great time, and we will definately return.

The area of this hotel is amazing, super safe and located near many shops. The only downside is that the rooms are very small and it’s hard to move around. Also, although we were told that the rooms are cleaned every other day, our room wasn’t cleaned and our stay was for a total of 3 nights.

I’ve only been to one city where I’ve used the same small hotel over and over again. I have found my second city and hotel. Max Brown was awesome. It was located in the beautiful area near the museums and is convenient to every more of transportation you need. To top it off, each and every member of the staff excelled our expectations. I look forward to our return trip.

Way too small room…
The room was WAY too small, specially for the price paid. I’ve been to Amsterdam before and always stayed in chain hotels. For my birthday I wanted a boutique experience and selected this, it was a big disappointment the room felt like a hostel room. The wooden furniture didn’t have any finishing and instead of the rustic-eco feeling I believe they intended, it felt cheap… unfinished. The bed, in a kind of bunk bed style felt cheap, with 3 walls surrounding it forcing couples to step over each others to enter or leave the bed. The staff was nice and the location superb but next time I’ll stay in a chain hotel again.

Older building renovated into quirky, kitschy boutique hotel. The idea was successful on most things. But not the bathroom. Only a child could use the toilet or get into the shower, which had a solid sliding door that only opened half way.

Great Minus Tiny Room
Everything was clean, people were friendly, and itbwasvin an excellent location. The room was completely small. Im not a big person, but I could barely get around the bed with my luggage out. If youre not claustrophobic, this place is great.

Small but clean and well located
This hotel is very clean, well located and the staff are super friendly. However, our A/C wasn't working, which was fine with the windows open until it rained quite hard and we had to close them - then it was very stuffy. However the staff were very kind and im sure they will fix it before the next guest. Would stay here again for a quick tourist visit

Liked the location (very convenient to museums and public transportation), and the staff was very helpful. The beds, though small, were surprisingly comfortable, and the decor was unique and fun. However, there were some issues with the room. There was no AC and we checked in during a heat wave, so a member of the staff graciously put us in a room at the basement level, which was thankfully much cooler. Despite this, the room had issues with humidity and the bathroom walls and shower had patches of mold and mildew, which only got worse during our stay. Leaving the window open and running a fan provided in our room did little to help the issue, and some clothes I washed by hand took several days to dry and our bath/hand towels were always wet. Though not a major issue for us, it's worth noting that the walls are thin and doors slam, so if you get particularly inconsiderate neighbors, it won't be enjoyable. We were also promised that housekeeping would come by every other day to clean things, but they never came, so the bathroom only got worse. Overall, this place was great for its location and helpful staff, but lackluster in cleanliness and housekeeping services. Still, there are many, MANY worse places to stay in Amsterdam (speaking from experience), so as long as you request a room on a higher floor and insist on housekeeping services, you probably will not have the mold issues that the basement level has. Not sure I'd stay here again, but I would stay in the neighborhood.
