I stayed at The College Hotel in
Amsterdam last week during a trip to Netherlands. The hotel is located
in the fashionable area, right in the city’s Fashion & Museum
district. The building used to be a secondary school which gives the
outside and the inside of the hotel an extra character and particular
atmosphere.
My room was comfortable, cozy and extremely quiet.I found the colour
scheme of beige and browns relaxing which was fantastic after a long day
running around the city for appointments. The bed was large with soft
pillows… The room compromised very large windows to create an impression
of space and great light. WIFI was complimentary so I could work from
my room although to be honest, it was a tiny bit dark in the evening…
My bathroom was stunning with a powerful rain shower and Aroma
Therapy products. Naturally, housekeeping provided me with a bathrobe
and sleepers. I learnt later though that not all bathrooms are as
spacious as the one I had. For reference : it was room 120 !!
What I loved the most about the hotel is the really well thought
design and attention to details from lamps to chairs, to tables,
wallpapers, flowers…. The breakfast was flawless with abundance of
pastries, croissants (some of the best I ate in hotels…outside France!),
cold meats, cheeses…
Amsterdam is only 45min away from London using British Airways from
London City Airport, the fares are affordable so I will definitely plan a
romantic get away in the near future….and The College Hotel will be on
top of my list !
